    2023 Season

    Winnie really worked this bird this last weekend. He was trying to give her the slip for about 2-3 minutes. She got him up about 15 yards away and down her went. The happiness a dog has when they get to retrieve a bird to hand is simply amazing.

    Franchi Instinct L 12ga 26" Barrel ****SOLD****

    this is the heavier model I believe. the SL is the lighter model. If this was an SL I would be all over it, I have the 20 gauge SL and love it.

    MN Pheasant Opener

    My group of 4 got 6 birds Saturday morning in southern MN. Missed a few too. The action was pretty steady in the 3 hours that we walked.
