I have the FENIX 6 Pro too and pair it with my 550 Plus. I learning to use it to track to two dogs this season and it's real quick and handy to view at a glance where and the status of the dog....whether the dogs on point or just out a little to far or heading to the next county. I have a...
Oh yes, you guys inspire. I'm heading into my late 50's and have been putting in for preference points for about two decades to save up for what I hope to be part of my bucket list. I hunt Colorado almost exclusively and if I don't draw big game tags I travel to hunt game birds with my GWP pup...
Quail saved this years late season Kansas trip. Brie had her first successful points and retrieves at 14 months. It was not a perfect trip for her but we both learn alot together......including that my young girl is a hunting machine! Can't wait to figure out where we go next season.
Just came from hunt in the Norton area and as everyone is saying the pheasant numbers are very very low. We saw three pheason over three days of hunting. If it was not for the occasional covy of quail the trip would have been a bust. We cancelled a plans to hunt late season South Dakota...
Okay, thanks so much for the feedback you gave me some things to ponder. Humm....ice fishing...a cast and blast.... that never entered our minds but maybe it would help add to the SD experience.. We are just looking for a good time with a little hunitng mixed in. Thanks guys I'll share your...
I hope the New Year finds everyone healthy and making plans for your new adventures. I wanted to see what feedback some of you might have on the idea of going on a late season DYI mid January (2023) pheasant hunt to NE South Dakota. My small posse from CO had conjured up the idea a couple of...
Thanks for throwing this out there. I chased pheasants with snowshoes....only for one day....but we had a blast. Such a different hunt swishing around the cover flushing birds. I'll have to look into the used ski market and do a little testing. I do know some friends that skied to elk hunt an...
2006 Subaru Tribeca with the H6 engine just crossed the 250,000 mark. Our high school kid now drives it to class and hockey practice. No big issues and we bought it used with 28,000 miles years ago. We liked Subaru enough the we how have 48,000 on a 2020 outback. They handle the snow here in...
Here is another thumbs up for a Tundra. I have a 2008 (3rd owner) with the 5.7/stock and typically get 15-16 mpg unless I pull a small 19 ft. fiberglass camper trailer then it drops to 12ish mpg. Plenty of power for what I need and after 140,000 miles I've not had any mechanical issues. If...
Here is another vote for a Benneli Ultra Light in 12G or if they make them in 20G I'd look hard at one. I buy everything used and found one at a descent price with a whole lotta life left in it and I'll plan to use it in the field on most everytrip. I have found that as I get older but still...
