    28th Annual Trip To South Dakota

    Our Golden made it to April 1. She was a great dog and I miss her so much.

    Let’s talk boots (older crowd on here)

    I am 78 and have been wearing Red Wing Irish Setters the past several years. The soles are soft and wear out as I was wearing them on a concrete sidewalk when walking my dog during the Winter. I am on my 3rd pair of soles.

    AL 48

    I like my 20 gauge for pheasants. I am getting close to 80 and it is easy to carry. It brings down the pheasants and I don't notice the recoil with a coat on.

    I shoot top barrel first as that is the one I am looking over.

    20 ga Feather lightning

    I see no reason to use these exotic loads out of a 20 gauge for pheasants. For years, I shoot ordinary off the shelf loads out of my Franchi AL48 and have no problems getting birds,

    28th Annual Trip To South Dakota

    Our Golden got a good report from the vet on the Friday before and I went! Got back yesterday and had a great time hunting. We had great weather on Friday and Saturday. It was a bit wet Sunday, but not enough so for a lot of mud. We limited out each of the 3 days in relatively short time. My...

    New shotgun barrel length

    Many people prefer too much barrel in my opinion. Shorter is quicker and easier to carry in heavy cover. Because of a lack of a receiver, the O/U's can seem a bit shorter. I think you could get a very nice Beretta or Browning that will last forever.

    Large Cell Lymphoma/ We had 3 previous Goldens and no problems like this. It can't be cured, but hopefully it will go into remission.

    28th Annual Trip To South Dakota

    Hopefully I will be leaving in 2 weeks for the Winner area. Our Golden was diagnosed with cancer recently and if she is not feeling well I will stay home to take care of her. She seems to feel fine and I have an appointment to get a CBC for her. If all is well, I will head West. My group has...

    South Dakota Limit for a 77 year old hunter!

    I am 76 and got my limit 3 days in a row two weeks ago. I figure it could be my last time so I had 25 orange T-shirts that recognize my 26 years hunting in South Dakota for my group and the family we have hunted with. The oldest to get a shirt is well over 80 and the youngest is 3.

    27th Annual Pheasant Hunt

    We limited out each day and brought home 81 birds. I left a Beretta 303 and a Winchester 1200 with 2 grandsons. A grand daughter with 2 small children got something also. It was a great trip and fantastic weather.

    27th Annual Pheasant Hunt

    Birdman2, I have no grand kids and my son isn't interested. I sort of adopted these kids many years ago. I have already given them 4 guns and when I am gone, they will get more.

    27th Annual Pheasant Hunt

    Leaving tomorrow for my 27th, and maybe last pheasant hunt in SD. We stay in Winner and hunt near Colome. We have been with the same family the entire time and I feel as if I am part of the family. I have traveled many miles for their graduations and weddings and will continue to do so. I am...
