    Asking a favor-history of pheasant hunting

    I was born in 1946 and remember going pheasant hunting with my mom and dad starting when I was about 4. We lived in SW Minneota and mainly road hunted as my dad had one prosthetic leg from a farm accident in 1943. My mom would drive with him riding shotgun and me in the back seat. Then at age...

    Anyone have bolt action 12 ga experience ?

    Starting in 2026, the state will allow deer to be harvested with rifles throughout Minnesota. However, the final decision doesn’t rest solely with the state—it will be up to each individual county to decide whether to adopt this change or continue restricting hunters to shotguns only.

    Beretta 12ga silver pigeon field with 26 or 28" barrels

    Barrel length is really a personal preference. I think you will find most guys prefer 28" tubes in an O/U. Personally, I have always prefer shorter barrel and shoot my 16 ga. Citori with 26" barrels very well.

    Thank You For Your Service

    I enlisted in the Army and served from 1968-1971. Spent over a year and a half in Germany, 1969-1970. Drank lots of good beer and had a great time. Don't remember too many naked women. Well, maybe one when I was in Paris on Pigalle! :) Like Goose, I missed out on 3 pheasant seasons in my 20's.

    Bells on flushers

    Bob, if you have lost some of your hearing chances are you will have a difficult time hearing the bell, especially on windy days. I used to use beeper collars on my dogs until my hearing got to the point I couldn't hear the beeper. Stay with the GPS to find your dog.

    Strange find in the safe.

    And how old are you? Sounds like a senior moment to me. :)

    O/U Which Barrel?

    I bought a Browning Citori 12 ga. back in the mid 70's. I had a heck of a time with the safety/barrel selector and it cost me several birds. As I was walking I would apparently bump the safety to the left and when I went take the safety off it would be between the O and U and would not come...

    Wanted: Semi auto 16 gauge

    The model 11 was produced by Remington under a license from John Browning, who had licensed it to FN in Belgium. Browning did not buy the patent from Remington.

    I would beg to differ with this statement but I don't want to start an argument. :)

    Geezer Hunt in December "CANCELLED"

    Due to me not going to be there and a lack of interest I'm pulling the plug on this hunt. If anyone wants to try and put it back together you will have to contact Jon Bastable "jonnyB".

    Wanted: Semi auto 16 gauge

    You options for a 16 ga. semi auto are quite limited. You will find that Browning will have the most 16 ga. autos available. Either in the new A5 or a used one in the older Auto 5. There are a few older Remington 16 ga. autos out there but many of those were built on a 12 ga. fame and a quite...
