Dani, it somewhat depends on the the soil type. The better drained the soil, the longer you can leave them in it. I did a little more checking and found out that the best time to dig is as soon as the plants start to yellow and wilt. In some soils you can leave them longer but there is really...

Jack, I have a good friend who is in the same situation as you. I shared your post with him. Here is his reply, hope it helps. "If you want to add something about your hunting buddy who lost his leg, he has found that neoprene stockingfoot waders work really well. He unrolls them inside out...

Nice taters. I don't know anything about storing them but do know about growing them. Sounded like you planted them whole? Next time, cut them into pieces, leaving one eye on each piece and then plant them, you can get many plants out of each potato. The plants are supposed to yellow and die...

Drilling a couple holes and filling them with Roundup works very well. One other point, trees and other tough weeds like Bermuda are much easier to kill in the fall as plants are pulling nutrients down into the roots for the winter than in the spring when they are pushing nutrients out for new...

Eric, not sure I followed who owned all the land but is there any way you can orchestrate a change in farmers to alleviate the problem? If he is just a renter, go to the owner and get him kicked out!

Don't wait . . . . I took my daughter on her first dove hunt at 14mo, first pheasant hunt at 16 mo, and first goose hunt at 18 mo. They were short trips with plenty of snacks and comforts. Dove hunt was for 30 minutes, played with the dog, shot 2 doves, let her hold the dead birds, and went...

Wow, tough day/season. One of these days you're going to have to take me up on my offer to come hunt sunny CA. Dad and I shot 11 teal, 2 gadwall, and a pintail by 8:30. Probably could have done it again today but gave the birds a free pass today.

Going to wait one more week and see what my daughter gets on the youth hunt before mailing you a package. Got pintail, wigeon, gw teal, and cinnamon teal bagged up so far.

What a neat trip! You should have let me know you were coming to CA. You were within 5 miles of me when you went up to the Sierras. Could have taken you out to my club for a hunt, or on a dove hunt.

Ok. Will work on those between now and February.

Sorry, can't do that one. Ask him about a cinnamon teal flank?

If there's anything missing from his wish list let me know and I can probably help out.

Sticky mud tip...Wear stocking foot waders with no boots. You run the risk of punctures depending on the bottom but you can move soooo much easier.

I've got a buddy getting started in the decoy business wanting someone to carve a goose decoy for him. It will be used to create a mold for a new kind of full body goose decoy. Needs it done in 60 days. Anyone capable and interested?

I'm south of you in Central CA. We had a fabulous year. Drought conditions concentrated the birds and limits were the norm. Had many days that two guys could have shot 20-30 and maybe even 40 cans! But I'm expecting a tougher year now that there is a lot more water around.

If you don't find any near home, let me know. I've got a lot of rancher buddies and can make few calls and pretty sure I could find them as long as you're not in a huge hurry.

I hunted chukar and huns in the Hells Canyon many years ago. Was a great time.

As one of the few if not the only Californian on this site, I feel uniquely qualified to make this call. Not only was the bird in CA, but it was in the Bay Area. That's the land of freaks, fruitcakes, freaks, etc. That goose may have been nothing more than a speck trying to dress up like a...

Not too far from the Eagles Nest, in Austria, is a cool pedestrian bridge. I was there last year and they had a medieval fair below it which was a lot of fun. Food, drink, jousting, lots of home made leather crafts, woodworking, iron working, etc. Most people were dressed in era appropriate...

Maybe I've just been lucky but I've hung ducks on the garage wall for up to 8 days with guts still in them. Never looked to see if entrails were punctured. I routinely hang them a couple days or throw them in the fridge, guts and all for 2-7 days with no regard to entrail puntures. Then I...
