Benallie's are nice but I can't say I like that futuristic look. My buddy has one I call it the space gun. Browning's are a bit bulkier but bullet proof. The Beretta's are close to perfect for me. Slim trim and deadly.

I've had guys tell me that it will callus up, but it's never happened for me. It'll take a couple weeks to heel up. But it will happen again. Some dogs are worse than others. I always wondered if it has something to do with the way they run.

which mushers do you guys recommend? balm or wax? I've used both didn't see much difference.

I also do not think predators have that much to do with it. When southern Iowa was at it's peak, you would not believe the number of predators. It's mostly farming practices and loss of crp. Another thing people don't think about is field tiling. When you do away with waterways you do away with...

It's very common mushers and or boots.

1 oz of 7.5’s big medicine on them flare nares😂

I'd be careful with the nick names. I think knot head could take your but. Thems some pretty wide shoulders!!

Mine are not too bad in the off season. They will calmly watch me until I put my boots on. Then they get excited. They even get noticeably more excited when I put on lace ups compared to slip Ons. But when the weather gets cool, they go crazy every time I walk into my hunting room. Then they get...

Not pheasant but.. My grandpa was a sharecropper. Him and grandma raised 9 kids. He had a huge smokehouse that he used to smoke meat for other people for a small portion. He was a very quiet, proud man who never accepted any help form anyone outside the family. My childhood lays out in my mind...

Maybe chiggers, but that sounds too excessive for them. They usually don't get above the waist.

If you think about it, instead of swapping shells, the old poly choke would make a lot of sense when in quail and pheasant ground. Heavy load 5's or 6's...

The jc Higgins is probably a Mossberg or stevens. My brothers had a Mossberg 16 when we were kids. I don't remember having any problems with it. And yes, Gun broker has a lot of them.

You guys that are better at sporting clay must be shooting a wus course!:)

Again, I think my uggy 28 with an oz. of shot will shoot with any 20 with the same oz. I also think an oz. of shot is not enough to consistently kill WILD pheasants unless you pick your shots. I'll go a little farther and say, a 1 1/8 oz out of a 16 gauge at 40 yards, you better have a good dog.

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...
