The Upland Issue 2021 | Strung Magazine

Still, even on days when birds seem to be everywhere, you spend 99 percent of the time walking, with trigger pulls only punctuating long stanzas of hoofing it. I was fortunate to experience the luxury of hunting atop a “quail rig” this past year...

In Praise of Teal | Strung Magazine

Today, Lori and I are sitting quietly in one such location on the Texas Gulf Coast, clad in lightweight clothing even though we just celebrated Christmas. We’ve finished tossing decoys onto the water’s mirrored surface, and except for two incongruous fake snow geese, all are meant to imitate green-winged teal.

Grilled Wild Boar Bánh Mì | Strung Magazine

...That’s how my family had bánh mì while I was growing up–and having made our home in the Little Saigon district of Southern California, good bánh mì wasn’t hard to come by. I’m glad to see more bánh mì shops opening in the metro areas of my home state of Nebraska these days.

Brett Ference’s Island of Misfit Dogs | Strung Magazine

“I got this dog when he was about two years old,” he said. “He had dominant setter genes, and from looking at him you’d never know he had any Brittany genetics. The previous owners mostly hunted quail on their plantation, and he ran shorter than they preferred.

Ducks Are Ducks by Justin Witt | Strung Magazine

Two hours in I’d shot a full box of shells—the only box I’d brought. I pulled each bird back out of the bag to rearrange things for the walk back and counted: twenty-five birds. Twenty-five shells.

When Heaven Freezes Over - Waterfowl | Strung Magazine

Late season in Montana is mostly a mallard game. These mallard drakes are big, tough birds that often weigh between three and four pounds. They’re happy to stay “up north” if they have access to food and open water. Toss a few decoys into a spring creek, find a place to hunker down (ideally in a blind with a heater)...

Hydrating and water purification solutions for fly fishing and hunting

It’s not a good idea to ration water on hot days. It is often not practical to carry more than one bottle on a day trip. Most packs these days do not even have a slot for one bottle… you can forget about two. Hanging two 32 oz bottles from your wading belt is not comfortable.
