I quick clean, cutting away any shot up pieces. Into the Ice filled cooler, If I'm out west. When I get home, cleaned a little better, pick random feathers and into the fridge in salt water. Then after a day or so, into the sink for final cleaning. Ten smash dry in towels. Then into the vacuum...

I'll 2nd the game hide stuff. Pretty good and priced wright. I have the pullover with the game bag. They run big. I've also had the pants and chaps. no complaints.

I bought a Filson waxed cotton last year on ebay, never had a bird in it. Very well made, looked like it would last a lifetime. But it was way too heavy for me. Gave it to my grandson and bought the Filson Armadillo. Very satisfied with it. Got plenty of room in the game bag, very comfortable...

I heard the biggest farmer in my county say that a tree or blade of grass is nothing but a weed to him, it's got to go.

After having roosters get up at 30 yards a few times while having 7.5 light loads in, I don't even carry them. I'll take a breath and try to make the shot at longer ranges. I do however leave a couple boxes in the truck in case I want to just hunt quail for whatever reason.

Pretty good-looking grass for that dammed old desert!!

Yup, that's what is happening here. If it can be plowed and planted, it is. I've seen hillsides that never raises corn over 3 feet high but continues to be planted every year.

I bought the resound hearing aids. Expensive but can adjust to hear my table in noisy restaurants. Turn up or down with my phone. Takes a good 15 mph. wind to affect it. Does not amplify gun shots.

And your definitely not opinionated.

If progressive lenses are the ones that you can only see normally in that hole in the middle, that is exactly what I did. The first time I tried to look somewhat behind me out the window I almost broke my neck. Took them back the next day.

Yep, older ones notorious for tight chambers.

Yeah, but I'm about to cross that line. I won't go out of state and pay for tame birds but I'm getting pretty tired of spending half my hunt Knocking on doors or trying to run people down only to be denied. Or worse yet, going to the same old places that I have permission and not seeing birds. I...

I used to be addicted to sporting clays. Depending on how difficult the course is of course. But for me when I 1st started, sporting clays were at least twice as difficult maybe 3 times harder. I shot a lot of clay from regular throwers, sometimes two throwers trying to make the shots as...

Like jmuller said above. I wouldn't feel under gunned with a 4.10, If I only took the birds that get up at my feet.

I owned most of the best brands. The 870-wing master was a great gun. The model 12's were probably the best ever made, But the 37 was the lightest, fastest most deadly of them all. I still have my 16 that I bought for 80.00 in about 72. And my 12-gauge serial # 722. And my model 12 trap gun...
