Missouri courts recently ruled that captive deer are still considered wildlife, and are subject to control by the Missouri Department of Conservation, instead of being treated as livestock. With CWD now spreading through our state, (shockingly, the highest concentrations of CWD in wild deer...

Looking for recommendations on meat processors near the Bighorn mountains, would probably be willing to go to Sheridan, Buffalo, Greybull or Cody. Casper is probably a bit of a haul, but it would be on the way home for the return trip. We've got two elk tags, and will be hunting for two weeks...

I had heard from a pretty reliable source a few weeks back, that Missouri was looking good on the elk population growth, and that the state would be considering a hunt in the near future. The MDC recently announced that the herd is nearing target populations, and we may have a hunt sooner than...

This is Dee, going on 7 this fall. She's been a great dog, more than we could have ever hoped for. Excellent instincts, and a perfect nose. She breaks a little after the shot, so I don't hunt her when we're shooting 10 guns at geese, but she gets in on all the duck hunts. She'll find sheds...

Was completing some applications this morning, putting in for points, etc, since my fall is basically already full. Decided to peruse the Kentucky elk page, and came across this gem of an explanation as to why KY does not use a bonus/preference point system, and instead has opted for a pure...

Anyone make their own sausage, specifically Italian sausage and bratwursts? I won't make any venison sausage until this coming fall, but I'd like to try my hand at making some of my own sausages, to learn the process, so I'm not wasting any game meat down the road. For those that 'roll their...

New pile pic to add to the......pile... This is about as good as it gets in Missouri, 15 man limit by 10am. The action was fast and furious, and every single one of our shots was inside 20 yards, the decoy action was incredible, as was the dog work. Hopefully will get to hit this spot once or...

http://cpw.state.co.us/Documents/BuyApply/7-Key-Changes-Limited-Lic-Apps.pdf No more up front fees.. Previously, I was unwilling to put up the up front fees for MSG, when I had zero chance to draw for the first 3 years or whatever, and then basically no chance to draw after the first 3...

I bought an M2 2 seasons ago, have no use for a 3.5" gun.. The finish on these Benelli's is absolute trash. My gun would just look at water and start to rust. The first time I hunted with it, I put it back in its gun case, drove the 1 hour home, took it out of the case to wipe it down, and it...

My Streamlight Argo gave it up, after about two seasons worth of use.. Looking for a new headlamp, and I want a pretty good one. I keep a bunch of cheap $10-20 headlamps around for waterfowl hunting, local hunting, etc, where I'm not terribly concerned if I lose it. I'd like one that is really...

A couple calls Bobby at DLC has turned for me. First two photos are hedge calls off our farm, last photo is a Cocobola call he turned and engraved to commemorate my new baby boy.

I bought a case of black cloud 2 3/4 3?s, to shoot out of my A5, since it will only accept 2 3/4 shells.. my A5 has NEVER not cycled a shell, and it won?t cycle these.. anyone ever experience this ? I?m not sure if the brass is too thin, or the brass expands and the gets stuck or what...

Had a pretty slow deer season this year, but gave it one last go on the last morning I had available to hunt. Conditions were great, high 20?s, sunny and no wind. The deer rutted like crazy, easily my best day in the woods this year. This buck gave me an opportunity, and with only a few hours...

Had a good wind today, but the overcast conditions really made finishing big flocks tough. Scratched out on small bunches, but really had to work for it, didn?t kill my last bird until 12:20

Been hitting the ducks pretty hard here lately. Took my dad out last Thursday, first time we had duck hunted together in years. It was a bunch of fun shooting sunshine mallards with our old Browning Auto 5's. We weren't set up very well at first light, but a quick move at 8 had up pretty much...

Hands down, my absolute favorite recipe for any wild game, is my "Springfield style" Cashew Turkey. Fantastic! Nearly all our turkeys go to some sort of Chinese type recipe... Cashew turkey, sweet and sour, general tso, and kung pao. Venison w/broccoli is a pretty solid one too.

We finally opened up here Saturday, here in Missouri. mixed bag of teal, gadwalls, widgeon and a pintail. Killed out in about an hour. made the mistake of bowhunting today.. shoulda shot more ducks instead..

Drove 4 hours out to Central Kansas for the early season opener. Arrived to an abosulte torrential downpour, that resulted in some pretty decent localized flooding. I bet the people in these cars were surprised to come out to a foot of standing water after their delicious Mexican food dinner...

Glad you brought this thread to the top, recently had my guy build me a new call, to commemorate my new baby. Can't have him slobbering on all my calls!

Me and the dog have been pretty lazy this summer, so with the cooler weather recently, I decided it was time to start working the dog. Was a short session, since some of us are out of shape! All training sessions always end with about 30 minutes of swim time in the pool!
