    What wild game are you serving for the holiday?

    It was actually a very mellow flavor, juicy and tender. I'll will try it again.

    What wild game are you serving for the holiday?

    I had some Pheasant breasts and thighs ready to go. But when I started looking at recipes, we were always short some ingredient. So, I soaked them in Worcestershire sauce and apple sider vinegar. Salt, pepper, garlic powder. Seared in a cast iron skillet with some olive oil. Then sliced an onion...

    Backup guns

    I've learned that if you drive through a motel and there are people living there. Drive on.

    Backup guns

    Yeah, that's why I started the thread. Last few years I've had to stay in some pretty seedy looking places. And I'm tired of worrying about 1500.00 + gun in the truck or motel. I've got some cheaper guns but some of them have sentimental value also. It may be that I'm just making excuses to buy...

    What do you lose most often?

    It had been one of those big 15+ mile days. We had been parking one truck, drive to the other end of the block and hunt through. Kind of hop scotching around. That night, we cleaned birds, had a few beers and rehashed the day. Well, I had a few more beers than I should have. When I get home, I...

    Backup guns

    What's everyone take out of state for a backup? In the past I've taken one of my o/u's but I get more and more uncomfortable leaving it in the truck or motel room. I'm considering buying something like a reasonably priced 12-gauge pump. Something I wouldn't cry about losing, but also wouldn't...

    Dog Injuries- Help Needed

    I've seen pictures of house dogs wearing what looks like children's shirts and jump suits. I've thought about getting some measurement and hitting yard sales and stuff and trying to find something made out of some material that might work.

We used to cruiz in early morning and evening watching the horizon for them. Then get permission to pass shoot them in a tree line of...

    Never any guarantees at that time of year, but your chances of hitting some good weathers are better there than say Iowa.
