Well, major league baseball hitters can see the direction & speed of rotation on a 100mph + baseball coming straight at them. A pointed 40 mph phez, maybe only 10 mph when it first gets up, 10 feet away, flying on a diagonal, SHOULD be easy, even for an old man like me. Maybe thats why goose...

I try to always look for the red eyepatch on phez. If I do not see it, I will miss most of the time. If that bird & I make eye contact, its a bonus, I am gonna crush it!

It sure makes for great pictures when you have 3 or 4 on point at the same time!

Boot dryer!!!!

Yes. Impossible to carry enough water for dogs. We would hunt an hour, or maybe 2 first thing in the am for grouse. Later in the day, for phez, we hunted close enough to Pass Creek or one of its offshoots to let the dogs get water & wet whenever they wanted. Setters in the early day, English...

I hunted W river the first week once when the temps were 95 - 100 for 4 days. I took one day off & went to Mt Rushmore. It was 101 in Wall

What year is the F150? Off road pkg? Thanks! I have a 2015 SCREW with the off road & towing pkg that I bought new. Aluminum body. 110 k miles. I have towed trailers up to 8500 lb. My boat & trailer weighs 6000 lb, until you put in 115 gal of gas. Std tires most of the year, LTs for hunting...

I can buy pelletized lime near me. By the bag, idk about by the ton.

SXS that have a NON selective single trigger shoot the rt barrel first. SXS carry a whole lot nicer than an OU. An OU carries like a single barrel gun, not nearly as comfortable. It is extremely hard to find a 12 SXS as light as an OU. I used to have a Dakin SXS 12 that was 5 lb 3 oz. I would...

I vote for SD, but quite aways W river.

If you are going to drink anything stronger than wine, GOOD shine is the only way to go!

Crows are considered migratory birds under the same treaty with Canada & Mexico that applies to ducks & geese. That is why we have a season on them now. The Mexican gov. was complaining that a season was needed as numbers were declining

So do you believe that includes crows? What about electronic callers for crows?

I have searched & searched the Ohio regs. This years, & last years. It very clearly says that your gun may not be capable of more than three shots for waterfowl, turkey, & deer, but there is no mention of needing a plug for doves or woodcock. Crows are a part of the same treaty, but I see no...

Ditto on the leash!!!

The best grouse dog I ever owned, (or saw, or anyone I ever hunted with ever saw), had this same “problem”. You could not hunt this hard going, small ES by himself in a place that had a lot of phez. He would not relocate on a running bird. But he was a bird finding machine! I would not try to...

To the OP, it sounds like one he!! of a ruffed grouse dog! Would you sell him?

I shoot a Beretta 686 Ultralight. 5.9 lb in 12 bore. I think that felt recoil will be much greater with that long barrel. Mine seems to kick much harder with the 28” barrels than the 24 inchers that I have. I am 5’ 6” on a really good day, and have short arms besides. I have to have all of my...

Steel maybe did not go down in price, but compared to “good” lead, it went way down. In the 70’s, steel was about 3 times the price of high velocity plated lead. Now the comparable lead costs more than steel.

I am glad you got the 24”. I would buy a new one myself if I could get a 22” or shorter
