I asked for advice on here a while back. My white lab sticks out pretty bad while hunting anything but snow geese. Tried a couple vests and dog blind ideas but ended up settling on a burlap blanket. He loves it compared to the other options. Not bad camo. I pull grass and weeds to throw...

I got out for a super fast hunt over my 30 minute lunch today. Sure was nice to be out with my dog even though we only got to hunt for 15 minutes.

I have to be in Milwaukee and Chicago for a week this September (11th-17th) for work. I was hoping to fish a time or two while I was there. Would love to catch a salmon or one of the big browns in Lake Michigan. Anyone have advice for that area that doesn't involve an expensive charter? I...

Here is my local radar from this morning. Our marshes are looking great with the recent rains we have had. Won't do much for production but we should have good numbers stage in our area this fall. Hoping for another great season.

What does everyone do to hide their dog while waterfowl hunting? My dog is visible from about 2 miles away lol... Mine hates sitting under a dog tent so I make him a grass/brush blind at each setup. It's a pain so I'm looking for new ideas. He does make a pretty good snow goose decoy in...

Here is a picture of my typical early teal spread. I typically use 5 or 6 decoys spread out. That is a real duck on the right side that just landed. I limited out this way numerous times in the first 15 minutes of shooting light on public water. Here is one of those limits from last...

I just received permission on the field out my office window. It is used heavily in the fall by Canada Geese and in the spring by snows... pretty excited but now trying to plan blind locations. There is a large public marsh on the north end and a fence line on the east with decent terrain...

I had a buddy email me about this new company- looks pretty good! Anyone know anything about them or use one of these coolers...

I have heard that Tom's really gobble before and after storms so I decided to hunt last night even though the forecast called for storms. I made the drive out to one of my hunting areas but decided it was looking too rough to hunt so never really got started. As I was leaving I stopped to...

Fitting for April 1st lol... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lWdbEhhmAdI

I have a friend that recently came into a large sum of money from a business he sold. He is interested in starting a gun/archery shop in our small town of 800 people. The surrounding community has maybe 4000 total people with our only competition being a Walmart 20 miles away. He is offering...

I have struggled through the years to come up with a way to make waterfowl taste good - especially snow geese. I have made sausage, jerky, sticks, and other items that turned out "ok", or "not bad" but never "wow that's really good!". That changed yesterday when I tried my first batch of goose...

My 16 year old son came home from school the other day with a new duck call. Apparently his Ag teacher had a champion duck caller come in and give calling demonstrations. They also gave each student a new call! I though this was really cool so I sent the teacher a thank you email- wish more...

I have a new co-worker who has never hunted a day in his life. He showed a lot of interest in my discussions over the last two months and long story short, he decided to give spring snow goose a try. I took him out today for his first experience. His first shot dropped a nice blue... he was...

While bow hunting deer last year I had a unique opportunity to shoot a wood duck. My tree stand sits about 30 yards from a small creek. Shortly after getting in the stand for an afternoon sit, a small flock of wood ducks landed right in my shooting lane on the creek crossing. I always have a...

My 16 year old son just got his mount back from last year's deer. He was very excited to get it hung up in his room. I like the habitat addition- am considering adding some to a couple of my other mounts.

Had a friend send me the link to this video...

I had a great week hunting with friends in Nebraska. I was focused on Mule deer primarily but the weather drove us into the river bottoms for a great morning of whitetail action. Thanks again Dave- Looking forward to packing yours out next year!

I have a friend out elk hunting right now. He is on a private land hunt where he is hoping to take something 330 or better. He just passed this bull and is wondering what it scored- my guess is 320. What do you guys think?

I just saw on the new Wyoming site that preference points can now be purchased through November 2nd at midnight. For those of you that procrastinate you now have another 33 days to get your points.
