    SxS Barrel Length

    I think most people will be quicker to shy away from shorter barrels than longer. For use in open country a lot of people are trending to longer barrels, especially in 20ga and 28ga. Remember, a sxs doesn't have a "receiver", so a 30in barrel on a sxs will measure about the same overall length...

    Let’s talk boots (older crowd on here)

    If you liked the wing shooters, exempt for the traction, and the boots can be resoled, send them into Redwing and have a more aggressive Vibram soles put on them. Should run around $60-70?

    Crop farming lease prices?

    Just thinking about what prices crop farmers are paying to lease land...per acre? I imagine price/acre may vary with size of lease. And, not talking about leasing to hunt.

    I'm waiting until they offer a 28ga that shoots a 5in shell, loaded with 4oz of shot to take pheasant hunt.

    New shotgun barrel length

    Personally, I've never found the difference between 28&30in to matter in the heavy brush (grouse woods). To me, balance of the gun in my hands is more important. Of course, everyone carries their gun differently so you have to find a gun that feels right for you.

    Dad always referred to them as "commercials", but that was from the old timey days. These days mom & pop's everywhere list them as Hot Beef and/or Hot Pork, on menus.

    Sharptails

    On the road going north out of Nimrod there is a DNR plot (maybe 80-120 acres) developed for sharpies. Don't know how successful it is, and haven't been that way for a couple years...not open to hunting, of course.

    Worried about my Lucy.

    Got into the vet, 6:00PM Saturday. She's OK. I guess her reaction to the heat cycle changes each time...this time it was more discharge, extremely tired, and off her food. Vet did an ultrasound (all good inside) and tested for tick borne diseases (all negative). She was off her food for 2-3...

However, for the last 3-4 days: -she's not eating or drinking much at all, -very lethargic in ALL her movements. -usually "bugs me" every 2 hours to go...

    Obenauf's leather treatment

    Mid summer, I put my boots in the truck topper (90-110 degrees during the summer) until 1-2 PM. Put the oil on them and return to the topper for an hour, then coat with the wax, and back under the topper for another hour.
