    Switch guns throughout the season or stick with one primary firearm? How do you determine which one to take?

    My Dad had a saying that seems to fit your post. He used to say that only a bad carpenter blames his tools......or something like that.

    Too old....?

    Oh man!!!! Buy a dog, but make sure you buy a dog breed that fits your personality and hunting style. You will never regret owning the right dog. Additionally, buy a copy of the book "Gun Dog" by Richard Wolters. The right dog will be your best friend!! Additionally, your appreciation for...

    I stick with one gun, the one that gives Me the most confidence. I always have a backup though. My backup is an 870. Infallible gun.

    Winchester Model 1892 in a 32-20 Caliber

    I have a piece of history that I would like to sell or trade. It is a Winchester model 1892 in a 32-20 caliber with a 20 inch barrel. The serial number indicates that it was manufactured between 1910 and 1915. The metal and wood are in remarkable shape and it is completely functional. I had it...

    Any dangerous natural features you encounter while hunting?

    The older I get the more things have become hazards. Hell, I have become my own worst enemy. A couple of years ago, I got my feet tangled in some buried barbed wire and fell on my gun and broke my finger. Even crossing a barbed wire fence isn't a guarantee anymore. Rocks, cliffs, slick rocks...

    Last Oregon Trip of The Year

    Got back Sunday from eastern Oregon. The weather was perfect with afternoon highs in the mid 40’s. Three hunters and two good dogs worked out well. We spent every morning hunting quail and every afternoon hunting chukar. The bird numbers were amazing. However, I didn’t find any chukar in any...

    Close-medium

    I love my Griffon. She is small for the breed. During the hunting season she is about 35 pounds and may gain 5 pounds during the off season. The only reason that I became interested in the breed was my age and endurance. she hunts at a pretty fair pace for me and never beyond 40-50 yards...

    Game warden checks?

    I have been stopped once in Oregon by a US Fish and Wildlife Law Enforcement Officer when I was 14. The experience scarred me for life. We were my Dad and I were elk hunting, driving down a two track and I had 4 shells in the magazine, nothing in the chamber. He flipped out and started...

    Last Oregon Trip of The Year

    I'm heading out for my last trip to eastern Oregon tomorrow. It has been a great year for pheasants and quail. This trip is all about chukar though. I normally don't hunt there this late in the season, however they have gotten very little snow this year which makes access pretty easy. Now...

    Recommended Griff Breeders?

    I really like the lineage and look of the dogs at Deep Creek Mountain Griffons. Some Griffons can be a bit "poodleish" Their dogs are all straight coated and lot overly shaggy. Plus they work with Veterans which makes them a win in my book https://www.deepcreekmountaingriffons.com/

    Blue Grouse question

    I've found the same. They seem to disappear as fall turns to winter.

    Elk

    Good luck buddy!! I have an elk hunt of my own coming up. I am waiting for some snow that hasn't arrived yet.

    Elk

    Additionally, I personally like eating elk more than beef. An elk roast in the crockpot or on the Traeger, for me are as good as it gets.
