I thought this thread was going to be how to buy a gun and write it off taxes. This isn’t nearly as interesting.

Better give ‘em both barrels

Go shoot, and then shoot some more. No shortage of starlings. As a youngster I had carte blanche sans Robins and Cardinals. All else was fair game. My partner in crime’s grandfather had a reloading press set up on an office desk in the gun room. I think 5 was the most we reloaded a box of...

Farmer here. Always helps to look the part. I ask for permissions and get asked. If you show up in new clothes I assume you’re a greenhorn towny, and that doesn’t help your cause. Faded and frayed clothes mark a veteran of the field. Don’t look sloppy but don’t look like the Cabelas...

Cold and snow=hunting season

I did have a day and a half of “what’s wrong with my gun” poor shooting. Kansas was a bust. Ohio was good to me. Found birds everywhere I’ve found them in the past. Shot my limit twice, which I don’t normally do because of low population. But these fields were loaded with birds. Got leads...

The old saw around here goes-a pig behind every cow, a chicken behind every pig.

Great season Bob, burnt some powder, bagged some birds and slayed some beasts.

Song rawks!

Jump shoot some coyotes!

I generally shoot whatever is rolling around in the truck console. Some the ink has wore off! Keep yer powder dry and run em to me.

I shoot a bird, I don’t dare avert my eyes from the spot it went down and I run…run to the spot. Holdover from no dog days I reckon. Lots of time they’re there blinking eyes. Ring their necks and roll on.

Pop has a Marlin 90 in 16 gauge. Not a fan of O/U. However I have to admit this one comes up nice. We both are lefties.

Hit 3 different fields. Reckon around 85 acres total. Seen 10-12 hens. 5 cocks. Pop missed a high passover and I missed a crossing bird. First bird I shot dropped over a creek. A coyote made a dash for it but copper coated 4’s changed his mind. Just peppered him at the distance. Saw a...

Just seen this. Just got back from hunting. I’ll be going to Cherry Bend for preserve birds later on if ya want to go. Ohio season ends Sunday.

Love Ian Frazier. Lot a good stuff mentioned. I’m gonna check out the classics, Rutledge, Babcock etc. On that note I’ll recommend W.H. Foster’s “New England Grouse Shooting”. Excellent read with fantastic Illustrations.

I’m a voracious reader and thought I would welcome members to recommend some favorites. A couple titles I think a lot of are “Pheasants of the Mind: a hunters search for a mythic bird” by Datus Proper “The best of Nash Buckingham” compiled by G.B. Evans Check ‘em out

Sorry I’m late to the thread. Still may be able to save some of you. 20 gauge is a woman’s shotgun. Give your 20 gauge a peck on the cheek and put it back in the kitchen. Grab the 12 and bring home the bacon. Keep yer powder dry and run em to me.

Shot 2 a couple weeks ago. 1 was kinda red, the other pale and looked exactly like chicken breast. Same field, same day. Age? Idk. Both in freezer
