    F.a.i.r Iside

    A couple of comments on the FAIR Iside. I bought a 28 ga base model with 28" barrels, double triggers and extractors a couple of months ago. So far I am happy with it. It weighs an honest 5lbs 1 oz on a very accurate scale, and takes some practice to shoot well, but I am getting there. It is...

    Lodge with wild birds

    I hunted on Mid American land several years ago. It was better than walk-in ground, but still got a fair amount of pressure. They limited hunting to 1 party a day. Some of the areas were better for deer than birds, but almost all was worth hunting. It is too expensive for a 4-5 day hunt...

    Report from Hill City

    I have hunted the Hill City area for two days. Staying at the Fairgrounds in an RV. Bird numbers are not great, not awful. I lost a good part of today because of an equipment issue. I am handicapped by lack of knowlege of the area (first time in the midwest for me), no local contacts...
