ouch at 70 a box

BB thanks, didn't realize they had short bismuth.

Looking to see what you guys are shooting for older doubles that might be short chambered, not your traditional 2.75 chamber for nontoxic. Have or do you shoot Boss or some other equivalent? Don't want to split barrels. thanks in advance.

UP has excess of 3ft of snow from this past storm, in northern lower peninsula it more like 20 to 30 inches, I'm just on the southern edge of snow and we are getting ice again. Looking like a repeat in areas of last years ice storm.

Best thing you can do is buy a pup and work/train him or her yourself. The bond you will form with your new hunting companion cannot be replaced. Whatever breed you go with will become a family fixture the moment you bring them home and remember they will be more of family member then hunter...

I'm not sure of my generation of instinct solar, but fully charged battery life is about 12 days, but I can say it seems to be longer then 12 days, so I feel there is some recharging of battery life with the solar, but I don't have anything to compare too. I will say though when connecting to...

how's the quail hunting Ben?

We had one day on our trip where we killed late hatched birds. So either 1st nest destroyed or 2nd successful clutch. But had some about the size of a ruffed grouse and in a few cases smaller. Hint of red and cackle on flush. Youngest/smallest birds to date on my hunts and I was middle November.

Ben, my son bought a Pyke this year and really seems to like it. I still have my original cabelas strap vest that I use. Easily holds three roosters and is light weight. It does lack pouches for water so I just put them in my game bag as 99% of my water goes to the dogs. I have been holding...

When I was growing up in Northern Indiana, it was on a sizeable lake. Back then the CO's had the old jeep cherokee's and they would park on the shore and start walking out. When would see the slow down to park some of our group would pick up and started walking the other direction as if we...

I'm not a big sour cream fan so I let my wife decide how much to use, i'm guessing we used about 12 oz of cream cheese. Midway through we did add some chicken stock and more sherry to mixture to help try and tenderize the meat. She like the flavor but meat was over cooked.

I agree with the latter if at all.

Yeah will be a work in progress. Browning I think is a fine art. I will treat like sushi or tuna lightly seared, then add to Dutch oven. Again flavors were outstanding. Freezing my first batch, but will fine tone.

Agreed 100%, you could tell the better meat then that over cooked. I will try with skinless chicken breast and thighs to fine tune and not waste the pheasant. Great flavors just need to finesse the pheasant meat. Thanks BB

Here is my attempt at BB pheasant dish. I did chicken broth for the rice instead of water. We used maybe 12 Oz of sour cream. We did add some broth and sherry midway thru the cook. I think I over browned the breast chunks, but legs were spot on. I think you could up the garlic. I wonder...
