I will take that off your hands. I live in Ham Lake

I did the same thing with my T8 about 10 years ago on my way to Mille lacs. I pulled cranks the entire day with a kicker without a hood. I posted it on a different site and crazy enough someone who was on that site picked it up. A little road rash but fully functional. I will never forget to double check that front lip again.

Hope you have a similar experience, good luck!

Still would like to get rid of this. $10 a box.

I don’t post here much… but I came here for the post game analysis. Haha. The kid is pretty good!

Netguy, both my wife and I jave noticed fewer piles to pick up and much firmer. Also, less gas. My old dog also was scratching often and the pup does not jave that issue. On a different note… The 30/20 Eukanuba is easier to find in my neck of the woods.

I pheasant hunt a lot and put a lot of miles on my 3 year old brit lab. I feed him Eukanuba premium performance 30/20 all year long. He gets 3 cups until September and at that point I give him anywhere from 5-8 cups a day. Right know he is a brick @#ithouse and in amazing shape.

My old dog was fed proplan 30/20 and I am happier with Eukanuba.

When I pull the meat apart the bark gets mixed in with all of it. Seems to be a nice flavor burst.

If I’m making it for a large group, I will do half wrapped and half not wrapped.

Man im hungry, smoke on!

That looks great! You ever not wrap during the cooking process? Last summer I started not wrapping until I put it in a cooler. The bark and texture of the meat is just perfect, I have not wrapped since!

Always like reading or hearing how others do it.

I can smell that from here.

I have had the 36inch blackstone for a few years now and love it. The only thing I don’t like is the grease trap, but they fixed that. I just replaced my camping grill (q120) with the 22 inch blackstone, with legs, hood and adapter for $95 from Walmart.com on friday. I went to attach the link but looks like they have it back at $180.

Between the rectec and griddle I have all my cooking needs covered. Time to sell the grill, haha.

It’s a great time for a pheasant hunting enthusiast. I go whenever I can make the trip, they do a great job when it’s local. It is very similar to the other shows.

Sorry, kielbasa wrapped in bacon to form a shot glass. Filled with cream cheese, topped with brown sugar and glazed with blues hogs bbq sauce!

Piggy Shots?

Yep, sooo good! Wife prefers them over pork belly burnt ends.

Good looking dogs! I agree, this has been the worst year for tearing up the dogs paws ans very loud and crunchy hunting. It really is rewarding putting down some late season birds. Nice work fellas

Pheasant pot pie was on the menu today.

I have been out at least 2x a week all month. However, today was most likely my last trip! I went through a rough shooting patch earlier this month, but straightened out the barrel these last few hunts. Birds were holding tight today.

Merry Christmas all! Can’t wait to smoke a prime rib when I get home from work. Stay safe!

I love me some breakfast. I think I might have to have some breakfast for dinner tonight. This all looks delicious

A little smoked pig shot appetizer last night!

Sounds like Camp Crystal Lake.

I was out 2x last week and 2x this week and have noticed the same issues. This is the first time i have really noticed. He is bleeding almost instantly when we hit the field. It doesn’t seem to slow him down until we get home. I had him sit for a pic in the road last Monday when it was -10 and the poor guys bloody ball bag froze to the road ????, that didn’t bother him at all. Short season, he dosen’t want to stop!

I haven’t even been able to clear the pond once yet this year. Kids are itching to get out there. A lot more fun to be had this winter.

I also love hunting in fresh snow and if I can i will take the day off to hit it the next morning. I try to get into the cattails, inside the big drifts. I typically find birds hanging in the cattails close to the big drifts. People think I’m crazy until they see it in person, but I also like to hunt with the wind at my back. I have found if you have a good dog it works great. My old reliable was put down this spring and my pup is has really had a strong year and it has worked with him. I only hunt public land So I try to do as much different as I can. With the wind at my back i may not see as many flushes within range, but the ones I do are close and seem to be more often Roosters. My dog will be on scent or just hunting and all of a sudden he will slam on the brakes and come back towards me real hard, catching the scent after we passed it. The bird typically flushes between me and the dog, nice and close! My thoughts are the roosters are either cutting back on us or holding tight, waiting for us to keep walking. Makes me feel like I’m out smarting them, haha.
Monday I had picked a field i had hunted many times in the snow. We hit all the edges of these sloughs with no luck and very little sign. I tried going in but they were not frozen well enough and the water was getting close to my hip boot height.
I didnt realize they got as much freezing rain as they did down south. We then hit areas with pines. The last area we pushed a crap load of birds out of the pines and into the slough. We followed them into the wet, deep, snowy slough and had an amazing finish to the day.

It never seems to be the same for me. I knew Monday when we found them, we would find a bunch.

Only a month left of my favorite time of the year!

Mondays birds!

Was able to take a few friends out last week as the snow moved in. 4 guys, 1 dog and a lot shooting! Real fun day! Monday I was able to get out and hunt the snow with a good friend. 1 rooster in the first 4 hrs. We had lunch and got back at it. Got on a large group of birds and got rewarded. Didn’t get back to the truck till dark. Very satisfying hunt!

While everyone was out deer hunting I was able to get out 4 days. The birds really put on the running shoes. The trails made from deer hunters and just the amount of people afield make them run and run. The challenge is good for the pup and he is doing great! We got our birds everyday, but miles were put on! Having a great season so far!
