    Lots of hens - no roosters

    We covered some of the same fields twice...and approached them in a different way - still lots of hens. I don't have the luxury of visiting this farm during breeding season; I'm sure it would be different...

    New Gloves!!!

    I recently bought a pair of battery- powered glove liners - need to be worn with something over them. I opted for a pair of mittens that open in the middle. Have yet to try them out but I suspect the mitten will be a bit cumbersome and awkward. Getting the stock to the shoulder in cold...

    Full gun cleaning

    Ditto on the 20 ga. firing pin...in fact the gun went off by itself, when I was in the stand, after the bolt was released! Reported this to Browning - of course no comment from them. Been a good gun considering all the shells that I've put through it. Shooting the Open - you're way out of my...

    Full gun cleaning

    I've shot a Gold since 2002, mainly for sporting clay's. Had some issues with extraction and found: Exterior plunger broken; Disconnector pin broken. Both replaced - have yet to fire the gun, but assume the Gunsmith gave it a good test. A bit chilly to try the gun on the sporty course!

    Lots of hens - no roosters

    Just returned (Jan. 18) from a trip to SD and was disappointed in the lack of roosters. Three- day planned hunt ended up two day's, due to lack of birds. The first two day's we flushed two different flocks of hens - both in excess of 50 birds...not a rooster among them. Several other fields...

    Better Shooting - A Colorado Limit

    For the past several years, keeping the hands warm has been a problem, especially my thumbs. I now have a pair of battery glove "liners" that I intend to use with special mittens, over the glove. The mittens have a slot so I can move the fingers out to the trigger; they also have a "heat...

    Thanks for the quick respond. I think I've been vastly under-powered with my 20 GA and not so heavy shells;time to make a change for the late winter hunt.

    Perhaps you could call them - they may sell you the chaps direct.

    Favorite pant or chaps to hunt cattails in the snow?

    Have worn rain pants for deep and wet snow and they work well. Under the pants, light-weight lounge pants. My legs sweat so this combo seem to work best, at least for me. Often a double layer can constrict leg movement; this combination doesn't. Good Luck with whatever you find.
