Often I disparage my Setter’s turbo hunt speed but she’s good in the house and truck. Very durable. Listens well and great with people and dogs. And she just loves to go hunt. Man if I could just downshift her out of road gear and get her to find down birds…

Seen lots of birds. Missed one got one. Of course it fell across the creek. Waded right in knee deep. This our 20 acres of crep and it’s had more birds than ever this year.

Hell I got mine on right now

PS we feed Ole Roy and whatever the cats don’t eat.

My 9 yr old female setter still setting fields on fire at Mach 3. Go all day every day nary a limp to ever check her speed. Even considered a weight vest but reckon it will just make her faster. Now leaning towards weed gummies or some such but that will just give new meaning to “far out...

Bought my son a pair of Frost River chaps. They have heavy duty snaps. Zippers always seem to ride up. I wear Filson tin chaps no zippers or snaps but gotta take boots off and on.

Sweet, but I don’t shoot Damascus. Oldest gun I shoot is a 1905 Fox. Love the RST 2.5”paper shells for it but they’re always sold out. Picked up some B&P classic upland meantime and they’re ok but they don’t smell like paper. My son shoots a 20g Lefever made in ‘25, it handles like a pool...

It’s not rocket science. We’re hunting-which means be quiet. As one very famous old hunter said- be very very quiet.

Hoping this was going to be about old guns.

The birds are where you find them.

Pre blizzard of 77/78. Dad says it just crushed bird populations around here. Quail have never returned.

I heard always carry a deck of cards. When you get lost, set down and play a hand of Solitaire, sooner or later someone will come along and tell you how to play.

Results! Got a bird apiece one shot kills. 9 hens 4 roosters seen total. They was holed up in a nightmare of phragmites. We call it elephant grass. Bout half of the bunch flew across creek to adjacent field. We crossed at a beaver dam and followed up. Good dog work and we had a great hunt.

If the triggers gold…the birds will fold

Shady- original name is Sadie. However, on account of her proclivity to sneak out of the house and go for a run she is permanently Shady

Just got the go ahead on a new spot that’s notorious for no’s. I said upfront I understand this isn’t carte blanche, won’t take other people, and won’t keep pestering. Ole boy said there’s birds in there, you can hunt one day have fun Merry Christmas! Headed out in an hour. Taking Dads...

Never shot at game of any kind and felt any recoil at all. I fully admit that any and all o/u reek of Gucci. And also anything made after 1980.

Wiffed on two gimmes this morning.

I can only hope I die out in bfe on a hunt with my boots on. Keep yer powder dry and run em to me.

They’re not inherently safer. Just easier to load and unload, making crossing fences, in and out of vehicles, laying gun down around dogs, easier and quicker and hence more likely to be done with an unloaded gun.
