My best friend, Gunnar! As you can see the swelling on his nose, he was diagnosed with Fibrosarcoma (cancer in the mouth). These pictures were taken on his last ever hunt and the last bird he ever pointed and retrieved.
The best dog I ever owned and one of the toughest, at age 2 he tore...
I also wonder from time to time as to how they reason. It seems to me that if you get in close on one and turn the E-Caller on and its blaring like on TV they would think that wasn't natural and get the hell out of there but if you control the volume I can see it working.
I typically don't...
My dad started me on calling coyotes when I was very young and at that time there were not many (maybe 1 or 2) types of E-Callers out there not to mention of the quality there are now. So we used mouth calls. As E-Callers came out we discussed them a lot. The one thing my dad always said was...
McCook, I guess I should have said SW Nebraska but it's still out west. I did play a lot of baseball in Alliance growing up though. Yes, the hunting is good out there. They at least still have good numbers of pheasants to chase around. Its a different type of hunting overall than here though.
I've always had my best luck from 10 am on as long as it doesn't get too warm during the day. Extreme cold like today, first light after they have had a night of hunting, hoping they had no luck but it makes it harder to sit for very long.
The call I have is woodpecker distress call made by Randy Anderson I believe. I basically blow it the same way I would a rabbit distress call. Again, when I make my first couple of calls, I don't make them as loud as I can. I start quieter and get louder as I go. I have had more than one...
I personally use all mouth calls, simply because that is what my dad taught me to use when I was a kid. I have hunted with friends that use electronic callers but never with much luck as they just let the call play and play and play. To me, a dying animal would never sound like that because...
In my opinion, unless you are physically unable to walk a fair distance or handicapped it gives the impression of a lazy hunter. That is why I would agree that it can give hunters a bad name. I don't personally see the fun in driving around until I see a rooster getting gravel off the road or...
I've never looked into Iowa but I was born in Nebraska and have a lifetime Small Game License from there and can still hunt on it even though I live in Iowa. I still have to buy the habitat stamp each year. However, for any big game or Turkey I still have to apply for or purchase non-resident...
After my longest bow season last year, this season was my shortest. 2 hours 40 minutes to my biggest buck ever. Crazy how things work. Needless to say I was bored during the month of November.
Thank you! That is impressive, a lot of companies would have charged an extra $50-$100 for minor improvements like that. Leupold scopes are all I have owned and probably ever will.
