I grew up with shorthairs and labs. Never an issue around us as kids. Have friends and family with labs, vizslas, and shorthairs at our cabin all the time around 6 kids from 4-12; no issues. I'm shopping for a started dog right now, I'm 50/50 between a lab (for more waterfowling work) and a...
Changes will take place for this coming draw.
Buck only tags.
We've gone from around 1500 archery antelope hunters to 3000 archery antelope hunters in the past 10 years.
SD Bowhunters has some breakdowns of stats on their facebook page.
Market's been flooded with low cost bolt guns chambered in 6.5 cm that shoot MOA or better. There was 50 guns at a banquet I attended recently and 7 or 8 of them were rifles chambered in 6.5 cm; and this was in MN where rifles are allowed for deer hunting in only half the state.

First off to address the pheasants - Yes, lots of public land and private land open to public access in Brown County region, but it gets hit hard. Especially opening week; as Aberdeen is one of the busiest and well promoted towns in the pheasant range when it comes to...

Load specs - 12 gauge, 2 3/4", 1 oz, 1350 fps.
I shot about 100 rounds of these this fall for pheasants and ducks out of a fixed full choke gun and they performed as intended.

Recoil issues? Not if it is a quality optic from Trijicon, Aimpoint, Leupold, Holosun, etc.
I'm tossing around the idea of the holosun HS510 for one of my CVA's.
Read some reviews and decide on what size/type of dot you want, mounting height, etc.
CCI standard 209's. Have some Remington STS I picked up during the primer shortage but haven't worked up any loads with those, and probably won't given the current price of BH209.
I have 3 pairs of grinder pants. By far my favorite sitka piece. I'm a 36 waist in jeans and I have no problem wearing midweight or heavyweight base layers under the 2 pairs of 36T grinders I have. The other pair is 37T so I just have to cinch the belt a little more. Also, they are less of...
I have vaportrek un-insulated gen 1's. sidehilling hurts the outside of my ankle due to the way an outer accent piece is molded. They have eliminated that with the current generation. They are nice for dry mild conditions; walking across ag fields, pastures, CRP, etc. More and more for those...
