So Irish Setter discontinued my favorite boot, the 400g Elk Tracker 885 (camo), although I have a spare pair. But I'm going try the 0g version, the 861 (brown) next season anyway. My feet have never been cold, so I'm sure no insulation will be fine for the vast majority of my hunting. But what about those days when it's below zero?? Anyone else have experience hunting pheasants in very cold conditions with uninsulated boots? I've still got 193 days until the SD residents' opener ..read more

There was a post in the other thread about vests where someone mentioned a shell belt and 25 rounds. We all hunt different covers and with different tactics, but I'm wondering how many shells all of us carry? Hunting Kansas for pheasants, I'll grab 8. 2 go in the gun, leaving 6 in my pocket. That's it. One time in the last 3-4 years I almost needed more before returning to the truck. I was down to 1, borrowed a couple from my hunting partner, and never fired again before getting back...

I am looking into getting a Garmin Fenix watch to pair with my 550 plus handheld…is there any advantage in buying the newer versions of the watch or would I be fine with the Fenix 3?
