Wild turkey breast on the weber grill.

Checked the Federal web site. They do make paper hulls, expensive. Leafed through some old reloading data. Last mention of paper hulls was 1995.

Back in the dark ages.... the old man would get boxes of federal paper cases from The Grand American trap shoot. We loaded those for years with only one problem. During a duck hunting trip we ran into a week of rain. Some of them swelled and didn't want to chamber. But that was one instance in...

Amount of oil on the tube was one of the old mans tricks. When I used one for trap shooting, he would wipe some of the oil off. That way I didn't pelt the guy on my right side.

Because you probably have your friction rings set right. Makes a big difference.

When deer hunting in close cover I use my 1956 with the modified barrel. More nimble than the scoped 270.

I have two 12s that have never jammed. But I was kinda fanatical about keeping them clean. Never let them go more than five years without a total break down. Now days I use my 7 pound Maxus.

They lost so much money on the wheat they can't afford soybean seeds.

Son in law has a Blackstone. Last winter when we visited in Florida, we took pheasant breast with us. I can still see him making pheasant fajitas with palm trees in the background. Back to the original question, yes. My wife always manages to throw something together while I am cleaning birds...

Neighbor ladies quail escaped last week. Lots of fun watching and listening to them.

Bolted on I-beams are kinda gucci. A real redneck straps on a couple of used railroad ties. 4010 should get a good workout.

A few years back when the last of the cows were sold, we looked into crp. We were told the ground needed to be cropped 3 out of 5 years. We had it in grass or alfalfa for 30 years. They told me I had to burn it down and plant row crops for 3 years. I found myself speechless and walked out of the...

Good idea Zeb. Quick check on the internet later, Midwest has the stock listed for $250.
