Combines are rolling today. At this rate harvest will be over before we wanted it to start. Not good for young chicks. About 10 days earlier than normal.

Been thinking of driving down to Frontenac to eat some Barto's chicken. We have had 4.96 for the year.

Exactly 1 inch last night. One of the best rains in 2 years.

Me too, I live 30 minutes west of there. They have gotten a few rains that we missed.

Dry dry dry. We miss all the rain. In extreme drought again on the monitor. Looks like CRP will be butchered again. It has been great for the hatch with cool weather.

We got less than .10 the last 2 days. They did get pounded up north though along I 70. Big hail.

Today's habitat is so much different than it was 60 years ago. SEK is hardly recognizable to what it was in the 60's and 70's. Old homesteads have disappeared, hedge rows are extinct, there is more cattle, more crops, and less native grass. There are other factors as well, but habitat is the key.

70's to mid 80's were pretty damn good everywhere. 20 coveys a day pretty common. We didn't really hunt singles, just moved on to the next covey. Soy Beans were the best food source. Fescue and glyphosate seemed to lead to the demise. But ultimately it is farming that dooms wildlife. Only...

I hunted some strip pits in 60 ft deep water on a -5 degree day. It was the last of the water to freeze, rivers were froze, marshes froze, etc. My labrador hunted just like it was 60 degrees. We hunted about 1.5 hours that day before we shot a limit of mallards. That was right before...

LMAO so labradors aren't versatile? They are the most versatile.

Looking at Benelli's web site, the Ultra Light has been replaced with the Montefeltro Ultra Light. 5.3 lbs for the 20 gauge with a 24 inch barrel and a $1949 MSRP

The new Montefeltro is a much better gun. Just as light, a much slimmer feel, improved inertia system, and less recoil. And probably a $100 or so less.

Another .40 yesterday and last night.

Got .70 last night and a bunch of lightening. More rain coming today and tomorrow. Finally got the foot of snow mostly melted. Been soggy for 7 weeks now.

To be honest I don't know how many I have. In the last 5 years I have added an A5 Sweet 16, Benelli Monte 20, Benelli New Monte 12, Browning 12 gauge Maxus II wicked wing, and a Retay Gordion which I sold. Going to be adding the new Browning 20. Of all those new guns the Browning Maxus II is...

Totally different guns. A carbon fiber rib, 3 shot capacity, felt recoil, a bolt that is known for the benelli click are what the UL is known for. Not to mention that it has been discontinued. Browning has 5 shot capacity, humpback reciever, improved bolt, better recoil pad, speed loading...

About a foot total. It just drifted across the roads. Most of it is gone except for the roads.

All the roads to my good spots looked like this today. I just turned around and went home.

I have shot dozens of crippled running roosters, when I don't have the dog out.
