True enough, this guy had no witnesses and was known to stretch the truth a bit.

I feel the same way about this story as another one that I heard from an old friend. He said that he went home and put a pheasant (whole) in his chest freezer and came back the next day and it hopped out and low and behold it had opened a bag of mixed vegetables and ate them.

Yes. Now my middle fingers are not a matched set. One looks fairly normal and the other looks like a toe from a tree frog.

I was in the 2nd Armored Division 17th Engineer Battalion 1987-92. Mostly demolition stuff, clearing mines etc. That division was deactivated shortly after my departure.

I should add, as long as its safe for my surroundings and my dog!

If a rooster still has his head up........I will keep shooting everytime!!

A good day quail hunting is showing up and being out in complete silence with your dog. Anything else is a bonus

Yup, there is one shot that I take every time it’s presented. It’s a 30 yard plus passing shot. I knock perhaps 10% down but when it happens, it’s pretty exciting.

That is how did this. More concerned about the bird than my surroundings. I fell right on my shotgun. Bent the end of the barrel and broke the tip of my finger. Getting older means getting slower and also less graceful.

I wear uninsulated deer skin. They are thin and very pliable. They are also warm enough, regardless of how cold it is. I wear them whether it is 60 degrees or -15. They are a savior where I hunt, because every fence is barbed wire and every bush has stickers or seems to be poisonous.

This is how I transitioned from a Labrador to a Griffon. I got to old and slow to keep up with my Lab. When she got on a running pheasant there wasn't enough electricity to change her speed or direction. I Googled slow methodical bird dog and here I am with a Griffon.

Further west than Boise

That should have said do it.

I would get that pup on live birds as soon as possible. It sounds like it has good instincts, so even if you have to pay a bit for some pen raised birds, dot.
