Do they have the biodegradable wad? I bought a 12 gauge upland gun and am making the switch (and selling some of my 16s) just so I can be done with plastic wads.

I have 2 labs and a springer and after hunting with my buddies GSPs, setters, vislas, and griffons, I will not be getting a versatile dog until I'm too old to keep up with a flusher. It's just too boring. At some point, I understand you just get too slow to actually hunt, and I'm happy there's...

I would never give a moments extra thought to altering a shotgun to suit my needs, desires or tastes.

Near total derailment of the thread, but if they ever come out with a lightning/round knob grip on a 725 action (especially the feather) it would be the best Citori Browning ever made.

CWD will probably solve that problem in our lifetimes.

They banned lead paint in 1978 and there's still 5,000 Sherwin Williams stores in the United States.

Yes, I remember when they first banned dumping toxic waste into the public water supply and now no one is allowed to drink water.

If you like the way they look (I don't) and you are a fan of 20 gauge guns (I'm not), it makes sense, right? I mean, there are a lot of guns that are only available in 20 ga that would interest me in 16, even though realistically a 3" 20 ga can do everything a 16 can do. And while I never have...

Went goose hunting in Kansas over the weekend, dragged the spaniel along and spent lunch breaks bird hunting. First real trip out this season (though I've taken a couple quick 2 hours jaunts to my Northeast KS honeyholes). Probably hunted a total of 4 hours, put up 25+ pheasants (mostly in one...

Minnesota is pretty devoid of topography. Makes Kansas look like Colorado.

I don't think you are ever supposed to zip them fully closed. You need to leave a window open or space at the bottom of the door for air.

Man, how sad would it be to spend your hunting life around "men" who were so sensitive they didn't insult each other's dogs?

$500 is much better spent on a used than new gun, and much better spent on a semi-auto or pump than an over under. You can start getting a good, but unfashionable, O/U at about the $900 range.

It's been so warm and dry, I've only been out once in KS. Hit my little lazy northeast honey hole. Put up some hens and a spectacular covey of bobs in a quick walk. This weekend with the snow...I opted for Iowa public instead of Kansas private. It used to be that if I was going to drive a few...

Love that Missouri fur grouse! The state is marketing pheasant hunting hard...too hard. The bird numbers seem decent for the last 3 or so years, but the habitat and access is not going to be able to sustain the DNR trying to pimp the hunting out this hard.

I shoot Sk2/Mod in my main pheasant gun, which is a 16. I usually shoot bismuth 5s or 4s.

I take a little heart in Iowa's recent turn around. They were at a lower nadir for pheasants than Kansas is now only a few short years ago, and that was from a much higher peak than even the best years in Kansas. So, positive change can happen. It bothers some people's sensibilities to hear it...

Look, some men need some authority figure to keep them moral, I guess. I'm not one of them. And I'm definitely not one who thinks the ends justify any means of policing. There are rules of engagement between cops and citizens in this country and there are good reasons why those rules have been...
