It's a slow start for ice here in Michigan but I found just enough to keep me on the dry side. Another above normal temperature stretch is starting tomorrow.
Here's a video of an attractor that I use. Some call it a teaser or spinner. I make all of mine but they can be found to purchase. Just a...
I'll continue the grouse camp theme that TheGreek started, but fair warning, this one might not have the same high quality.
Our MN grouse camp was a bust both in bird numbers and below average lodging. To top that week I started having car troubles north of Duluth which became worse by Ironwood...
@Lostinthewoods, after reading your post outlining what types of subjects should be posted on this website I've been working to delete as many of my posts as possible because they do not meet the public lands/conservation guidelines. Unfortunately I do not know how to delete a thread I started...
I want to give thanks and appreciation to Bullshot for his unsolicited offer of information regarding dusky grouse hunting in Colorado.
The locations he provided have held the most grouse I've found on this trip. My last day to hunt will be tomorrow and I intend to hit the best locations hard...
Drove down to Virginia & picked my newest bird dog puppy.
Let me introduce Highball's Train Station "Rip"! He's from Blue Mt Llewellins.
Yes, I'm an unapologetic fan of the show so many profess to hate😉
This September I'll be going to Colorado on my first dusky grouse hunt. A non-hunting friend will be going along because he wants to see the sights. He's going to attempt to be useful by sharing fuel cost, taking pictures and annoyingly pointing out ever "cool" thing we pass.
I'll be carrying...
I won this shotgun at a RGS banquet 7.5 years ago. It was apparent as soon as I started using it that it fit me much better than my previous shotguns, and my hit percentage on birds was proof of that.
Through the years on rare occasions the gun would double fire, both barrels at the same time...
My antelope hunt ended with success on Tuesday, helped my friend with his hunt (successful) yesterday. Took a long day trip today to see Devil's Tower, then over to Mt. Rushmore thru Deadwood, and by Crazy Horse before returning to camp. I'll be breaking camp Sunday & staying in town to pick up...
Best of luck and safe hunting to everyone whose WY season opens tomorrow (especially if it's in 29)!
Our party of four, plus one not hunting, go wheels up early tomorrow morning from Michigan and Indiana, will meet up in Nebraska for the night and arrive at our planned spot to camp Sunday...
Now that my party has drawn for antelope this fall, I can officially start planning for my first upland bird hunt out west for me & my dogs. My heart is in the forest chasing ruffed grouse so I'm naturally drawn to going after dusky grouse.
The only decision that is concrete is that I'll be...
My main spring activity from mid April through the end of May is taking my pointing dogs to the woodcock covers in search of hens & their chicks as a volunteer bander in Michigan. This morning my youngest pup Trace finally found his first brood!
To all who hunt woodcock, be sure to check any...
I'm seeking information from people who have worn these boots, specifically are they actually waterproof as advertised.
I need waterproof boots for ice fishing. A year or so ago I purchased a pair of Baffin Snow Monsters that were (supposedly) waterproof. They aren't. If you don't get into any...
I've been to Montana just once. A failed pike spearing trip to Tiber in February a couple of years back, holed up riding out a blizzard. A spearing friend lives in western MT and has finally talked me into getting points for an antelope hunt. Some friends and I should be able to get drawn for...
