That is how did this. More concerned about the bird than my surroundings. I fell right on my shotgun. Bent the end of the barrel and broke the tip of my finger. Getting older means getting slower and also less graceful.

I wear uninsulated deer skin. They are thin and very pliable. They are also warm enough, regardless of how cold it is. I wear them whether it is 60 degrees or -15. They are a savior where I hunt, because every fence is barbed wire and every bush has stickers or seems to be poisonous.

This is how I transitioned from a Labrador to a Griffon. I got to old and slow to keep up with my Lab. When she got on a running pheasant there wasn't enough electricity to change her speed or direction. I Googled slow methodical bird dog and here I am with a Griffon.

That should have said do it.

I would get that pup on live birds as soon as possible. It sounds like it has good instincts, so even if you have to pay a bit for some pen raised birds, dot.

I’ll damn sure ground pound a chukar if it gives me an opportunity to do so. Devil bird!!

I hunt in Utah, Idaho and Oregon......I spend a lot of time in Oregon each hunting year (eastern Oregon).

I did also kill 12 Huns.

Last year I kept track of birds by species. I shot 46 chukar, 90 quail and 8 pheasants. I tried for a mountain quail and couldn’t get it done. I also shot 2 sage grouse. If I didn’t have a wife, I would be out even more.

I made a trip to eastern Oregon last month. They had a lot of flooding last spring and I was really concerned about upland nesting success. It looked like the birds did well and due to an unusually wet spring and summer, the habitat is incredible. Cockle burrs and burdock were 15 feet tall in...

I reload my shells and due to laziness, I shoot all upland birds with the same load as I shoot trap and skeet. I shoot 1 1/4 oz of 7 1/2 shot and use HS 6 powder. I can't for the life of me remember how much powder I use. Drew

Yup, I have a drawer full as well.

I have, they come with some foam wind interference reducers. They also provide several replacements. They do a pretty good job. I have used walkers and they absolutely suck in the wind.
