Man oh man, I didn't realize how many passionate folks are on this forum. Thanks for not getting angry at me!! Lol. This post was pretty entertaining, much like a soap opera. I can't believe that so many people never lose a bird when they are hunting. So, do you count a leg dropped bird as...

They are the Euro Hikers.

You are the second person to recommend Crispi to me. Thank you

I bought a pair of Meindel boots. They claim to be the most comfortable boots out of the box. I hate them. My heel blistered on the first day, and they have given me a blister on every day since. Not to mention they are just really uncomfortable. I am starting the process of looking for a...

No bells for me either. I have an idea to try a "red tailed hawk" collar that emitted a red tailed hawk screech every time the dog went on point. I really didn't think about when she had to pee or crap or when we were taking a rest. That sound scared the crap out of her!!!!! She was pretty...

where are you located and what are you interested in?

Two memorable times. 1. I fell through the ice in a beaver run on a frozen river. It was single digits that day and getting toward evening. I could just touch on my tip toes, so I threw my gun as far as I could toward shore and gave a big hop up and managed to freeze myself to the ice, my...

I lose shells out of my vest pockets.

On quail and chukar, sometimes when a large covey get up I tend to rush at least one shot if not all three....... If I can get a covey broken up into singles or at most 5 birds per group, I shoot much better than 40%.

On my last trip, I shot really well for quail and pheasants for 2.5 days on a 3 day hunt. I did miss one pheasant but that was all for the trip. It was one of those times that I doubted my dog and ended up missing three times badly. Other than that I killed every pheasant that I shot at and...

My Grandpa was a diesel mechanic is a small town in western Iowa. All the farmers let him hunt and trap on their farms, plus my great Aunt Helen had a large farm south of town a ways that we hunted on. There were pheasants everywhere when he was younger. I was privileged enough to hunt with...

True enough, this guy had no witnesses and was known to stretch the truth a bit.

I feel the same way about this story as another one that I heard from an old friend. He said that he went home and put a pheasant (whole) in his chest freezer and came back the next day and it hopped out and low and behold it had opened a bag of mixed vegetables and ate them.

Yes. Now my middle fingers are not a matched set. One looks fairly normal and the other looks like a toe from a tree frog.

I was in the 2nd Armored Division 17th Engineer Battalion 1987-92. Mostly demolition stuff, clearing mines etc. That division was deactivated shortly after my departure.
