KS Pheasants

So I havent been able to hunt much this year but this is a nice photo from opening day in Munden this year. Way too warm and way too much cover etc but we did manage a few birds adn got to unt with my Dad and Jim in a place that holds a lot of memories for us all. A little bitter sweet as found out a friend of kellys from high school had passed away minutes after taking this picture.

Game Giveaway

Gents,
If you don't want your game I have a good home for it, literarly. You now must clean and keep all waterfowl, pheasants, antelope, and deer. I have a connection to a church in Sioux City IA that will take all the meat it can get. Give it to me (meat only) and I will find it a way down there. If it's freezer burnt, throw it away.

IA has pheasants too!

I got these birds Saturday morning. I parked my truck in Lebanon and walked the creek behind mom and dads house and then the draws across the road. 2 of these birds were part of a triple I shot. I couldn't find the 3rd bird so I guess it only counts as a double. Babe caught the hen. I'm not sure if it's legal to keep a hen your dog catches but I kept it and it was delicious. Better for me to eat it than a yote. Wyatt came along with me but decided he'd rather hang out with grandma than have to walk so far. Good thing too because by the time I got back I was tired and soaking wet with sweat.

More SD Birds

Another great day in South Dakota. The weather was great and the birds were a little jumpy. Decent day. Lots of birds again.

IA Doe Down

Two years ago I purchased a rifled barrel w/ a 3x9 scope for my 870. It came in handy this year. Shot this doe at 7:15AM and would have been hard to see with out the scope. 75 yard shot, hit her high on the shoulders and she fell down, straight down. We hot skinned and got her quartered out in about 45 minutes. Dad volunteered to make chislic, needless to say I was a bit nervous. Dad took one of the ribeyes, marinated them, and cooked them on the grill in a cast iron pan. Very delicous and tender and put a great ending to a good day. We also cleaned up 2 extra pounds of bacon in the freezer. Oh, Brian missed badly all day, I think he went through 10 shells. A great day, even if I was the only one to harvest a deer.

Specialist

Thought you guys would like to get a sneek preview of my new shirt "bling". That's right, I have been the distinguished title of "Walleye Specialist" by the province of Manitoba. Remember, anyone can win the yearly competition once (I've won twice, back to back). Anyone can get lucky and land a big one once in a while. But only true masters of the art of walleye fishing get the title of "Walleye Specialist"! Enjoy.
