He started out stipulating semi-auto….😆

That’s pretty high class…PBR can’t be found there…I couldn’t live there! Robbinsdale, I mean…

I remember one of mine, about 3 years ago…that rooster flew right over me…it was the most beautiful, colorful bird I’ve ever seen…my buddy was on the other side and couldn’t shoot…reminded me of the time Bo Derek tried to seduce me, but I couldn’t perform, and I dropped my viagra pill and we...

I left my area around 7:15 am yesterday, very dewy and on the chilly side…45, 46….gravel roads near habitat were loaded with birds…hens with chicks, mainly…one road I drove I was forced to putt along at 2-3 mph…there were 75-100 birds in the 80 yards in front of me…that’s what I could see…8-10...

Mine fell off my benelli montefeltro about 30 years ago…never replaced it…think I shoot better!

Love opinel folding knives…filet models…great on fish, breasting birds, etc…inexpensive…I spent $3 for a Walmart filet knife several years ago, as I was needing to breast some birds on my ride home from SD for my birth father that I had just recently met…still use that knife, takes an edge quickly…

Over 7” since the 4th …highly welcome, highly unusual…

2.5” here early this morning…not a romantic reference, rainfall….

Different topic, but I try to shoot “dead” birds a 2nd time if safe to do so…many come back to life when they hit the ground!

For sure! And not looking at your phone while walking afield helps, too! I have to admit I see this a fair amount!!!!!!! AYFKM? “Are you F’ng Kidding Me?” Crazy….

I watch my fellow hunters when we’re in close proximity…I realize how vital hearing is to killing birds. I am shocked how many birds fly away never being noticed by hunters. I’m blessed with pretty good hearing…it puts lots of birds in my bag! And reading the cover, and reading my dogs…duh, I...

Oh, grouse hunting last fall? I was careless with my words…when people got their limit of 5, it was so common nobody made a big deal about it…usually it’s celebrated, kind of a big deal! I’ve never gotten a limit of ruffs, I don’t hunt them that much, I’m usually out on the prairie, but I’ll...

Back in SD, got here in time to drive around between 7:15 and 8:00 or thereabouts…drove about 15-20 miles…sunny, 83, slight breeze…saw lots of birds, including 7, maybe 8 broods…several of them were pretty small sized chicks, but they could fly…most broods were 7-10 chicks, but that’s what I...

I carried one of my 28’s last year a bit…killed 5, no lost birds. Used a Winchester load, 1 oz of lead #5’s, about 1300 fps. M/F chokes out of my Parker reproduction. Fun!!!
