Faith and family first. Mallards, roosters and yellow dogs all a close second.

And @DakotaPheasant probably shot half of them…

That's an awesome cover, QF.
Get ready for the “Fire Issue” of Quail Forever Journal!
In the upcoming issue, we explore the power of fire, from its historical role in shaping the land to the modern techniques used by biologists, landowners, and prescribed burn associations.
Whether you’re lighting your first burn or have been managing with fire for years, we hope this issue fuels your passion for habitat.
Stay tuned – the “Fire Issue” is landing in mailboxes soon!

Lost my last pair of @MuckBootCo out of my truck after a recent duck hunt…replacements arrived just in time for hunting this week!
Without looking at this list, I was hoping that @Beretta_USA A400 would be included. Not surprised to see it at the top. Great gun. Love my 20.

Unlike in Frost's poem Mending Wall, here there are cows. So fences do make good neighbors:

"So for all you aspiring outdoor scribes out there who want writing advice, well, here’s the deal: I can’t give you lessons on how to craft a story about the relative merits of the 12-gauge versus the 20 (the 16’s better than both, anyway), I can’t offer up a template on how to analyze and break down an area to efficiently and quickly find birds (Walk to where it looks birdy?), and I certainly have no guidance on building a list of the 10 Best anything (I’ve found that one or two will usually suffice for me).
But if I had one piece of advice to give those looking to write an upland story that comes from a place those other stories do not — a story that is evocation rather than explanation — I can only offer you this, and it’s more confessional observation than advice….." 🔗Link below.

Secured my first BWCA permit today and was blown away at how quickly my options disappeared. That was intense!

Dark geese continuing to push south this morning...
Just returned from a few days in northeastern SD. Waterfowl #migration is at peak levels, but the door is closing quickly. @CJDucks @DucksUnlimited 1/4

Last week’s ice storm impacted accessibility to food in some traditional staging areas. Temps end of week will impact remaining open water. Huge push of light/dark geese today. 3/4
The end of next week is looking to produce the weather needed to move some birds around in the Dakotas. #migration @CJDucks @DucksUnlimited
Veterans Day looks to be a turning point in our weather. Cold, snow welcome news for waterfowl hunters waiting on the #migration. @CJDucks @DucksUnlimited
Looking ahead 8-14 days from now, centered on Veterans Day weekend: a turn towards a cooler, possibly more active weather pattern in SD w/potential for some precip. #winteriscoming cpc.ncep.noaa.gov/products/p…
Just heard first specks of the fall migrating over SE SD this morning. Big NW wind moving some birds south through the Central Flyway! @CJDucks @DucksUnlimited #migration

Check out mallard spring migration in the Mississippi Flyway 2022. Notice the "waves" of migration; maybe days with with favorable wind...
