    Slowing your dog

    Old timers would tie a log chain to them! I would get rid of a dog and ty again before I would do that. When I was young, I'd just jog for hours on end. The truth is, you either pour it on, hunt him hard and hope he gets over it. Or whistle break him, similar to what Gobler said.

    Would like your insight on a purchase for pheasant hunting

    Get the vests and buy a couple shirts with some orange. Or do like I do and buy red and white plaid shirts off eBay!

    Here Kitty Kitty

    Same in south Indiana. People been swearing they see them for years. One a very good friend. Finally, they came clean a few years ago when a guy caught one on a trail cam. Then just a couple years ago the first confirmed bear siting in like 100 years within 3 miles from my house. There's not...

    Antique road show

    I was forced into it around early 2000's when my workplace went computerized. I remember that I got the curser off the screen and had to go asked someone how to manipulate the mouse around to get it back. Still resisted for a few years, then someone showed me how to get to gunbroker and ebay and...

    2024 Season In Pictures, Guns, Game And Dogs

    My grandson and I had a great time in an unnamed southwestern state. Had some glitches including both being sick a couple days but persevered. Grandson had never shot at a quail. Missed the 1st shot then proceeded to smack down 22 in basically 2.5 days. Also celebrated his 21st birthday there...

    2024 Season In Pictures, Guns, Game And Dogs

    I'm starting to look at your pics out of the corner of my eye. I switch guns once and can't hit a bull in the ass with a base fiddle! But you use a different classic every day??? Maybe you really shoot them with a beat up old 1100 and are a master cut and paster instead of a master shotgunner...

    Rabbits

    I have two rules. No ground shots. No low shots. I've seen way to many close calls.

    Saw another 105# dog.

    I've only seen a couple 100 pounders who were in shape. one was a great Dane, and the other was a great pyranose. both were intimidating. I remember thinking that if I had to give them a shake to discipline, they could easily shake me back.:oops:

    Slip on recoil pad-stock treatment

    I doubt it. Discoloration of wood is usually caused by sunlight. My experiences have been lighter wood turns dark and darker woods turn light. So I'm not positive but when I see that on older guns, I always think it's the rest of the exposed wood that turned lite, not the wood under the pad that...

    Looking for a New O/U

    There are a few manufacturers that produce aluminum alloy framed guns now. I would not recommend one for any of the shooting sports unless you're into that self-harm thing. But You won't find a finer gun than the Beretta. Mine was one of the first off, the boat. Sometime in the 80's. Plain black...

    Land prices.

    That's pretty well said and exactly how many of my friends feel. We are all pushing 70 now and they are just plain getting worn down.

    Land prices.

    Well, my friend gave in. Him and his wife had tears in their eyes when they told me. Amish neighbor offered him 25 K an acer. He sold everything but the home place house. Can't blame him.
