    Wister campground closure!!

    You need to close your trap. False statements like this are what causes concerns by those who don't see things first hand yet who make the rules.

    Wister campground closure!!

    Barry, Scott said this is an evolving situation & they are asking the same questions we are. Without definitive answers just yet I think we just go about our business until then. Can't enforce what's poorly written & this thing is like swiss cheese so far.

    Wister campground closure!!

    That says "The property" is not open during that time. Taken literally, we can't even be in the check station parking lot during those times. We'd have to stage off site somewhere until 3:00am.

    Wister campground closure!!

    At least you'll have entertainment at The Range. I don't think anyone will go out there to shut that down.

    Wister campground closure!!

    The refuges are still open. Since they closed all State campgrounds, this news was just a matter of time.

    Reservation question.

    As you know Ron I was in that same boat for years with my Grandpa. Don't let handicap blinds be your only option. If you need to borrow my decoy cart you can pull him out to any blind.

    Reservation question.

    Ron, as Skeet said, they start with handicap reservations first. If there are any handicap sites left after that then then they will do a quick non-reservation drawing for handicap hunters. If you have a regular resevation & are hunting with a handicap hunter & want to hunt a handicap blind...

    quail question

    Personally I'd let them rest a week or so. Pressured birds will either flush too far ahead of you or hold so tight they wont flush if the cover is thick. Use that time to find more coveys. I've done that this year & its paying off better than hitting the same birds every week. You can't...

    Surprise Surprise!!!

    Congrats! Good thing you got him before the coyotes. Looks like one of the planted variety. He wouldn't have lasted much longer. I'm hoping to find a few next week as well.

    colonoscopy

    Tom, Fred, & Joe would hang out together all the time. They lived in a fairly small town.. They'd hunt together, fish together, & go to bars together. Occasionally they be by themselves but much of the time people would see them together. One day Tom was driving by himself & got into a terrible...

    Headlamps

    Just picked these up from Costco. I have yet to test how long one set of batteries will last but for the price ($14.99 which is $5 off regular price) they are pretty nice. Good set of lighting options including a red light. At this price it almost costs more to replace the batteries. Can't beat it.

    Blind markers at wister

    Not a year goes by that someone doesn't have a gripe about any refuge in this state. Some valid & some not. Its ok to bring up valid issues & discuss them with the staff, no matter if they're a seasonal aide or the refuge manager, or higher. But before you do with a hot head about it, you had...
