YEp, its gonna get good here real soon. Way up here behind enemy lines we are about to have some lows in the 40s. Heck, back home when it gets tha cold we go to killin hogs. And to think, I was griping about the WI season starting on Sept 30 this year? I am an idiot. BRING IT ON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!...

I just got back from a drive that took me from Northern IL through much of WIsconsin and well into Minnesota, and here is what I can report: With much of the Prairie dry ducks are in heavy concentration along the upper MS flyway where there is a bit more water. In areas of WI and MN that had ponds a...

Double R2 is on target. The fed have made room for states to open up much more liberal regs for resident geese. The season could open as early as Aughust 1st and woudl allow the use of e-callers, unplugged guns and allow hunting until 1/2 hour AFTER sunset. IT will be up to individual states to set ...

Sp450, I have no doubt Mr. Marshall truly believes he is fighting the good fight, but that does not excuse delivering one sided stories that omit key facts because they would not support his case. Every time I see this kind of ranting I am reminded of the fact that there are people who believe they ...

NOthing against Mr. Marshall but there is a lot of information left out of this article. How angry would yo have been if 30% of that money had been paid to bean counters? This is what it breaks down to, no one in the habitat conservation wing of this wanted to spend money that could be used to secur...

Yeah, it would be dependent on the age of theimages. Same year, I would pay $50 for a hi-res 11x17 of, say, an 800 acre lease, and $15 for each additional copy. Same year digitial image, on disc with 1M per pixel or higher color resolution in DOQ, $50 per county, $500 whole state, $250 per "reg...
