5 minutes in 8-10 hens and roosters flushed a bit ahead of us, dropped one going right to left. Pointed a hen right after. Then 2 cocks flush wild just out of range. 50 yards on Shady flash pointed and dropped him going straight away. Over sooner than I would have liked. 6” snow on the...

Never heard of either in the gun world. However, when it comes to fueding…legendary.

Browning BSS, Parker have single triggers. My experience is if it has ejectors it has a single trigger. Which I like. However, last year I had trouble with 2cd barrel going off. It’s inertia driven and got fouled by dirt/powder etc. Big positive of two triggers…they work

I just can’t do the o/u. Looks like it belongs to a woman skeet shooting at the Olympics. Or the walking Orvis catalog. I’m more raggedy chaps patched boots pouch of Red Man carrying a model 12 that looks like hell. Seems to get me more permissions.

Coons hit $20 again look the F out!

Been wearing Dans brush jacket for years now. Been busting brush for rabbit deer and phez in Ohio since I can remember. Most times out west there’s no need for briar protection. Here in Ohio it’s a everywhere and will reduce clothes and skin to ribbons.

Set many a snare and trap. Most if not all states require an id tag of some sort. Most states have conibear trap restrictions for reasons listed above. When the anti’s come for bird hunters, i.e. public ground restrictions is an easy mark, we will want all hands on deck. Know lots of...

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.
