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...

Cool, I'll subscribe. I'm glad you didn't have a camera when I missed that grouse!

Try not to shoot a lot of heavy loads, unless you don't mind some loose fillings. 😁

You starting a YouTube channel??

Also the Parker Hale Uggies were pretty sweet looking.

I think it might have been a guy named Bill Hanus. American imports Falcon.

My Ugartachea 28 was my 1st sxs. I never looked back.

Yup, two of my best friends. One, all siblings' nieces and nephews had nothing to do with his dads and uncles farms. He worked for his uncle for free for 40 years, while his uncle was a railroader, along with his and his sister's farm. After his uncle retired he sold all the stock because it was...

I saw some pretty good ground a while back for 8k an acre. That's pretty cheap here. Seems like recreational/ hunting ground is going higher. Most farmers I know are pretty small. They are holding on but starting to think about selling. Same old story. Kids don't want anything to do with farming.

That's what my brother wears. I like the feel and fit of them but could never get them to hold up. But the fauna is a lot different here. Lots of briars, multiple rose and such. In my prime I'd shred a pair of briar pants a year. I need ankle support also. When wearing rubber or hiking boots I...
