    SXS shotguns

    I should have specified sorry, I had not even live fired the gun yet just many snap caps. The safety stuck and the rear trigger would not fire. The explanation I got was debris stuck in the action.

    SXS shotguns

    I got my Bobwhite back from the warranty issue in less than 2 weeks and took it out this weekend. It patterned good and both barrels had the same point of impact. I even went 3 for 3 on planted quail :) I realize not much of a challenge but I was happy

    11/3 Public Land

    I have always been lucky to not have had to travel far to pheasant hunt. Last year I told myself I wanted to take a road trip to see some new country. I took Thursday off and drove 3 hours to some public land. I had a great time met some nice folks and came home with a few birds. The area I was...

    Until next year

    It has been a fun year for me. This was Belle's 2nd season and she is progressing better than I would have ever expected. I took a few days off this week and enjoyed some great weather, friends and hunts. Tuesday I hunted some private land with a couple of farmer friends. We had a lot of wild...

    Rough Conditions

    The last week has been a little rough down here in the SE corner of the state. A lot of my private ground had a 1/4" of ice on all the grass. it makes for some pretty sunrises but tough hunting conditions. The ground that doesn't have ice has 2-4" of snow with a crust on it that makes a perfect...

    Garmin Alpha vs. Sportdog 2.0

    I am seriously looking at buying a GPS collar with stimulation. It seems most people have and like the Alpha. The only reason I am even considering the Sportdog is it appears it is considerably easier to change the stimulation level and the buttons are on the side for tone and stimulation. I...

    Quail

    I got out for a short afternoon hunt today. Mistake one - always be ready when you get into the cover As I was walking away from the truck I was trying to reset my flush counter, on my whistle lanyard and saw Bell getting a little birdy. Mistake two always trust your dog, I was 20 yards from...

    Pre Thanksgiving birds

    I was able to sneakout for a few hours on Wednesday afternoon. I was hunting a big block of CRP. With the South wind we hunted down the North side where it met a ripped corn field. I always seem to have the best luck in the afternoons close to food. The first three points were hens. Then after a...

    Tough Weekend

    I usually love hunting the first snow. This weekend was rough though, Saturday I hunted spots that I thought would be a quick limit for sure. We shot one rooster, Belle caught one, 1 quail, and jumped 7 hens. Every bird held foe solid points which was fun to watch. This morning I went out after...

    Quick Limit

    I hunted private ground this morning, I got there a little late and stepped into the grass at 8:30. All filter strips with a mixture of foxtail and switch grass. First two points were hens. Then 3 wild flushing roosters. We rounded a little bend and a solid point and rooster number one went down...

    Short afternoon hunt

    I got out for the last two hours today. I am tired of this wind but I did have quite a few birds hold nicely and the dog worked well. I should have had a limit but the sun made bird ID difficult I know I let 3 roosters have a free pass because I wasn't sure. Still a great afternoon to be out. I...

    First time this year on live birds

    I took my year and half old lab out this morning to see how much she forgot about live birds. Even without being able to shoot I remember why I like this hobby so much. We jumped 11 birds in 2 hours and she held a point on 9 of them until I flushed them. She even found a nice covey which I...
