    Made me chuckle! When I moved to Nebraska from Iowa, one of the first things I bought was a bolt action .270 for deer. My rig at the time was an ‘03 Ford Escape, which made a pretty fair upland ride but it meant I could only shoot small deer. That’s my story anyway...

    Henry Single Shot Shotguns

    No experience with Henry shotguns but the singles I’ve used have always been uncocked until the bird flies or in the case of waterfowl, cocked when ready to shoot.

    New, old, shotgun

    They’re getting hard to find in decent condition. I’ve had a couple of them, a 12 and a 20. Resold them both for a ridiculous profit.

    Switching dog food because of price and availability?!

    Science Diet chicken & barley. So far it’s the only one that doesn’t give her diarrhea. Even changed the lap dog’s food to the same ingredients since my Golden is a food thief. All the premium foods are expensive. $56 at Petsmart for 35# or so. And I’m in the group that feels guilty if I...

    New, old, shotgun

    I picked up a Savage Stevens 94 in 12 ga. recently. It was missing a couple parts but I had some pieces laying around that I was able to use. I plan on using it to get some roosters in the fall.

    Coldest hunt you've been on

    You can Google it if you want. The warmest day that month had a high of 32 degrees. That was in Omaha. Possibly it was 25 days not getting above freezing. I can tell you that on the acreage where I lived, the temps are consistently 7 degrees colder than the reading in Omaha.

    Southwest Iowa. It was a freak winter that came early that year.

    Coldest hunt you've been on

    December ‘83, we didn’t have a thermometer with us but we went 25 days straight not getting above Zero and temps were in the -20s at night. Coffee from the thermos would freeze over in just a few minutes and we left the car running when we hunted in case it didn’t want to start up again.

    What to look for in cable cutters to release dogs from snares?

    I carry a pair of diagonal cutters. Haven’t needed them yet. A Leatherman tool would work too.

    It would be nice if the site sent notifications. I just happened to log in and see this.

    He wanted to know how the recoil is on a Montefeltro.

    Montefeltro fans

    I normally prepare for pheasant season by shooting 4 or 5 rounds of trap or sporting clays with my Montefeltro. Recoil is not a problem. I use a 12ga.

    New pheasant shotgun??

    Nothing wrong with looking. My problem is that I want to try all the guns so I keep buying. I’ve been overdoing it this month.

    New pheasant shotgun??

    I’m surprised anyone still makes a 16. Nothing at all against it, I’m amazed there would be enough demand to warrant the offering. Pretty nice for the 16ga lovers though.

    Congratulations! On the gun and the retirement!

    New pheasant shotgun??

    I’ve gotten the “itch” too because of this thread! I want a 20ga Montefeltro and I never use a 20.

    New pheasant shotgun??

    Seems common for people to reshape the grip on those Sweet 16s. You’ll have to let us know what you think when you get it.
