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...

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...
