Again, yesterday I was in shorts, sweating doing little woods walk. 84 degrees. This morning cloudy drizzle and windy..

Long shot strings are very advantages because if there are multiple birds flying in a line you can miss the 1st one and hit the 2nd and maybe the 3rd! You can also whip the gun barrel around in a circle while firing from the hip and fill the entire area with shot therefore increasing your...

A good friend is someone who you've been friends with a long time. Someone who you trust and enjoy being around. Someone you've might have had a few brews with or just a childhood friend you've kept in touch with. But a guy you've hunted with hundreds of times and shared many, many campfires...

Most of the time a jake will be higher pitched, but I've been fooled both ways. If I have two birds gobbling, I'm going after the lower pitched one.

That must be the one that got away from us year before last! hunted all public for 4 days saw two and killed one. :LOL:

I think I have a grandson, Like that. He keeps on trying to shoot right-handed but look down the barrel with his left. I finally convinced him to close his left, but I still see him doing it sometimes. Nice guns, especially the wood trap!

I don't roost birds much these days. I used to but my success has been minimal at it the last couple decades. I can't count the times that I've gotten in close, did everything right, then he goes 180 degrees away! Lots of times it's happened with the same bird. I believe that it's not the Tom...

That might be one of the Hunting Public? boys. They are pretty good. Aggressive though. One has long Curley hair. I like Matt Dale. He's just a regular guy who's ate up with hunting them. Crazy how some hillbilly who can hunt and likes to talk about it can wind up with his own signature call...

No don't ever give it up. I did that once. didn't go back for 4 or 5 years. when I asked the owner again he said no. He said since I hadn't been around, he let his preacher hunt it and now his preacher and his two sons hunt it. :(

You northlanders are crazy! :LOL:

I've been very fortunate hunting turkeys. I did some bragging last year when we discussed turkey hunting, so I'll save you guys that bluster. There are numerous ways to hunt them, and I've tried most of them except hunting from a blind. But the thought is looking better, especially in the rain...

Indiana in March is always crazy but dammm. It was 73 when I went to bed. We had the door open listening to the storm coming in. Woke up to 32 and spitting snow 20 mph winds. I'm staying in today.

Sounds like the beginning of a joke. Then the duck looks at the rooster and says?? Anyone want to fill in the blank? Anyway, I've never been in pheasant land in the spring, but I always imagined that the rooster travels around fighting and fornicating (probably like goose used to) as I've never...

That's a great story Bob. Worthy of publication. Great picture also. Looking in those old eyes makes me puddle up. Reminds me of something I once read that stuck to me. Two old friends and bird hunters were reaching the end when one died. At the funeral, one of the deceased guy's daughters who...

Dang it.:confused:
