I have both and at my age, the new sweet sixteen fit me better and lot lighter to carry all day in the field. I did have some jams but I found that it likes 11/8 oz and 1oz shells. No issues since using those loads. The old model is a work horse solid, dependable and better looking but I only...

Not much on drinking the coming new year at this age, so I went out for a few hours back to the NE area of Colorado. A bit chilly and windy but walked several section of walk in areas. Not lot birds found this time. A couple of long shot roosters flushing wild way ahead of the dogs . I didn't...

After 55 years of chasing the birds, I just buy them at the store and cook them now. Three heart attacks from being a couch potato and drinking too much-life is good. JUST KIDDING.

Goosemaster This is back in the 70s and things have change. Back then I hunted solo often, and I followed the dog (trusted the dog- GSP). However after many failed attempts, the farmer who's land I usually hunted gave me an advise. "get a helium red ballon and tie it to your belt loop high in...

Know what, my son reported that a bunch of his buddies with 5 dogs when out to SW NEB and after three days in chasing the birds, they got about 25 in total. Im having a hard time believe the story but perhaps they worked it real hard. These guys are real hard core guys. All in public land...

A few days late to this party but I have been out of town. Spoke to the farmer that I have known for 30+ years in SW NEB. He told me tough hunting due to some late harvesting , reduction of habitat and just not ideal weather condition when it was most important. Therefore not alot of bird...

Trying to get out this coming weekend some were in NE but sounds like it will be a walk in the fields. Even though, the pups could use a stretcher.

Lets get real. In one instance we complaint about other hunters been able to find a hunting spot, big groups of non experienced upland hunters, dogs out of control etc. Yet we still go out on a hunt and have some success. The pay to play is part of the time. If we have an increase in hunters...

Browning has finally released the new A5 20ga version for 2024. At somewhere below $2000, I guess I will be selling the wife:):) Just kidding, but I have been waiting a long time for this now I need to wait a bit longer as more get to the used market or inventory increases. It suppose to be...

I and now my family have hunted this area for many years. In fact that was my beginnings back in the late 60s. Plenty of birds then but the hunting and farming habits were different. The walk in programs were a far away thought. As population has grown, farming habits and the development of the...
