I'm gonna look up those articles. I love the history. On a side note, I always wonder how many of these old members are ghosts now.

I'm looking at a model 21, but I think they can shoot most modern loads. But I'll avoid steel if I get the gun because one barrel is fixed full.

OK, I might have caught a wild hare starting this post. That's an idiom for doing something spontaneously on a strong impulse. And got long-winded too. It's just that webguy slips a little extra in my bitcoin wallet for ever post with over 500 views. Good luck fishing this summer and shooting...

This guy had a sweet citori at the gun show over the weekend. 2500 bucks he wanted. Grade 5 maybe? Had the black receiver with gold inlays of dogs and birds. I can't remember the year of mfg.

First, let me get this out of the way. There are members here who are old timers, to you I tip may cap, hats off to you. Men who've lived life and are no longer able to bust the cover, that time comes for us all. Those who live in Virginia, Kentucky, Indiana, California, Maryland, places where...

Wow, I don't think I've ever agreed more with a post. I'm not claiming to be a ballistic savant, but when it comes to shotgunning I've put in my time reading literature. Perhaps it's due to self-doubt in shooting ability as well as lack of bird contacts. Fortunately my shooting has improved by...

I would say that when memories of pheasant hunts past roll through the projector in my mind it's usually of an afternoon or evening alone with a dog in a remote place when I was lucky enough to pick a spot and put her in the right position to find and work and flush and retrieve birds as was...

Olive garden?

Wow. I had no idea. I did see a lot of coyotes in SD in January last season. The only guy I know that hunts them a lot does "sits" I think he terms it. Finds a position and calls them. In the daylight.

Next fall you'll have 10 days before all the out of state yahoos and suburbans with California plates show up. Hopefully you get out and enjoy those first 10 days of September, I'll be looking for some reports.

I know when a turkey comes in quiet and you don't see him then gobbles it really gives you a fright. But there's been a few times when a rooster I didn't know was there gave a speedy flap of wings and a loud crow I was about spooked out of my boots.

My spot now, I don't get there at zero dark thirty. I used to. I'm sure there's days it's the thing to do. I suppose I'm lucky in that it's a perfect spot to show up and sneak in after sunrise. A hayfield with woods on 2 sides, open gravel drive on the 3rd, and a treeline on the fourth with a...

Never use a flashlight 🔦 turkey hunting.

Yes. Yes. No.

This is completely untrue. Midday hunting success is due to one thing, it's the time when Tom Turkey is most vulnerable. The hens leave the Tom around 10 o'clock, and that's when he's most susceptible to being called in. A morning roost hunt is fine, but if a hen flies off away from your...

Blue, red and white. Not a smart choice to wear those colors out turkey hunting.

I have a money 💰 spot now. There's always a lot of turkeys around. Every day I've ever been there, seen at least one bearded bird. Shot a tom there the last 5 years. I've taken a buddy with and he's gotten a turkey 3 years straight. I asked a guy I work with if I should leave it and hunt...

I got all the calls. I'd say pot calls are my favorite, slate and glass. We had turkeys come in and hang up last year, 3 of them. My buddy whispered "should I call?" I shook my head no, he uses too much volume. I grabbed my pot, and every time the turkeys put their heads down to peck for food...

Wrong. Depends on the situation.

I don't know you but it's true. I came into pheasant hunting a tenderfoot tyro. Honestly I'm still not sure exactly how it all happened. I suppose it's as George said, "A dog, a gun, and time enough." I can only think in the back of my mind was the image of a pheasant and its hunting. Somewhere...
