Yes, I’ve hunted the Lions Club hunt at Hart, Texas in both 2019 and 2020. In 2019, we hunted the last weekend of the Texas pheasant season and did well, as bird numbers were decent that year. This past season, I hunted opening day and it was not good. They’d had little rain in all of 2020 and...

I also have one of the new Browning A5 Sweet 16’s. It carries like a 20 gauge, as was pointed out because of its light weight, but it hits like a 12 gauge. I love mine and it will be passed down to the next generation in my family. I’ve shot pheasants with my Sweet 16 in the Texas panhandle...

I live a good bit west of you, between Abilene and Lubbock. I did some searching on the PF website and it shows that there’s a chapter in Plainview. I’ve been pheasant hunting around Plainview the last few years, so that would work out well.

I’m assuming by your handle that you live in Texas. Where is your local chapter? Are there even any PF chapters in Texas? I’m asking because I’d like to find a PF chapter within reasonable driving distance and get involved.

West Texas Quail numbers have definitely been in the dumps the last couple of years. Things are looking really good so far this spring, from a habitat perspective. I’m hearing some birds calling, but not nearly what I’d like to hear. I’m afraid the numbers aren’t going to be very strong...

Thank you for the suggestions. I looked them both up but didn't see anything "Remington" on either of their websites.

I'm not familiar with either of those, are they aftermarket gun parts manufacturers or in retail sales like Brownell's or Midway USA?

Do you happen to have pictures? Is it just the stock or do you also have the matching fore end? I can get a Remington pad to put on it, as those are pretty easy to come by on eBay. The backstory on all of this is when I was in high school, back in the 80's, I worked part time, as needed...

It might be that the repairs department at Browning has a tremendous backlog of warranty work on all of the Cynergy shotguns. Between that and most likely having to shut down for a period of time in 2020 for Covid, they're probably just behind which has resulted in the long delay on the work...

A friend of mine has one of they Cynergy shotguns that had the recall on the synthetic stock. He told me he sent his in to Browning for the factory replacement and it took about 2 months from the time he sent it to them until he got it back.

I attempted to look at the Remington website last week, trying to find some parts, and all of the links on there seemed to only lead to their ammunition production. I couldn't seem to find where one could even order parts from them. I'm needing a replacement walnut stock and fore end for a 12...

Snow, wind, and 7 degrees Fahrenheit in west Texas.

Your post is a highly accurate description of my 2020-21 quail season in the Texas Rolling Plains. It has been very frustrating for my dogs and me too.

Looks like a great hunt! What’s the story on that dog trailer, who was the manufacturer?

Contact Rader Lodge, a link to their website is on the homepage of this site. They have places that they own/lease that they’ll let people hunt, unguided with their own dogs, for a daily fee.

Back before center pivot irrigation systems, most people irrigated row crops like corn, cotton, and milo by doing what was called “row watering”. Basically, irrigation water was released from mainline pipes via irrigation tubes on the uphill end of a field and allowed to gravity flow down the...

I’m 20 years older than you are. From what I’m hearing, the older you are the worse it is for you.

Thank you! I’m much better, except I still have a cough. I have to stay in quarantine until a week from today.

Thanks! There was no putting off getting tested. I went from the onset of symptoms to feeling like absolute crap in about 15 hours. I feel like I’ve turned the corner as far as getting better, but I’m just really weak and have no stamina. Those who are saying that COVID is no worse than a...

Great post! Makes me happy yet sad to read it. I hunted in Kansas for the first time in 2018, and loved it, but chose to go to South Dakota last year. Things were a little too “commercialized” there for my taste so I decided to return to Kansas for 2020. I’d spent nearly a year planning the...
