I held a Franchi Affinity in 12 gauge the other day and really liked the feel. Anyone have any experience with them? Reviews look ok but I trust opinions here. Appreciate any feedback.

Had a great weekend hunting with my 8 year old son. I purchased 3 permits for him and planned to hunt Saturday and Sunday to try to fill his tags with a camp out Saturday night in the back of the pickup. We set up Saturday around 2pm. Everything was pretty quiet for the first 90 minutes but...

My favorite kids hunt of the year starts Saturday. I just purchased three tags for my son- total cost is a whopping $24. (Yep, they are $8 each for residents and non-residents alike). I can't think of a better youth hunt- any of you guys close should take advantage and take a kid hunting...

Here is the latest from the Wyoming Game and Fish on the winter conditions...

Just saw a video posted earlier today from the Funk Nebraska area. https://www.facebook.com/Rainwater-Basin-Wetland-Management-District-364348953674674/ I don't Facebook so copied the page- hopefully you can all see it. I usually see a few smaller flights in February but this is thousands...

Not the right forum but thought it is worth a shot. I will be in Florida for work next week and happen to have all day Friday with nothing to do. I plan to drive down to the keys and stay Thursday night since I've never been there. I found a cheap place to stay on Long Key. My plan is to...

Pretty cheap opportunity for non-residents to enter this drawing. Very low odds of course but great hunting if you draw! http://magazine.outdoornebraska.gov/2016/12/multispecies-lottery-permit-applications-accepted-beginning-jan-2/

My excitement for deer season was escalated this fall when I received this picture from a friend. He had been seeing a great non-typical buck fairly regularly through the archery season but couldn't seem get him within range of a bow. He lived in a fairly open area so closing the deal with a...

Had a really fun weekend hunting with NE69 and my 7 year old. As a group we harvested a doe mule deer, a squirrel, a turkey, and a few pheasants. The highlight of the trip for my little guy was making a stalk on a small group of mule deer. We got within 15 yards before they heard us. One 2...

Opening day this past Saturday was a decent opener. Will download pics soon. We took two rookies out and had a great time. Decoyed 40-50 teal in several small groups and 10-15 woodies. Harvested 9 and should have been easy limits. I have seen several large flocks of big ducks coming in the...

I'm in the market for a good set of seat covers for my F150. Tons of companies out there and a gob of reviews both positive and negative. I've been looking at Marathon and Headwaters as well as few others. Anyone have any they love? Hate? Pictures would be great. Plenty of stuff on the web...

I took my 7 year old son out this weekend for rabbit/squirrel/dove hunt. Most of the doves have headed south. The cover is so thick rabbits are almost impossible so we focused on squirrels. It was tough hunting in the wind and the squirrels didn't cooperate. It took us almost 2 hours of...

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...
