    It's so awful letting them ride in a dog box in the back.

    WTB -- SKB 385 or 485 or Browning Gold or Silver Hunter 20g

    Let me know if you see any for sale (reasonable) -- Oddly enough I'm good at scouring the internet -- I've only found a couple and it's like they are wanting collector prices or the price of a brand new silver hunter. I'm disappointed in myself I didnt add a couple to the collection years...

    WTB -- SKB 385 or 485 or Browning Gold or Silver Hunter 20g

    Like the title says - I'm in the market for any gauge, 12, 20, 28, 410 SKB model 385 or 485 sxs -- must come with original box unless the price is right. Prefer pistol grip stock - but could consider straight english stock. I bought a Browning Gold Hunter 12 gauge new in 1998 or 99 and...

    Might be a bismuth shortage.

    Google Antimony -- what it's used for - where most of it is produced and now who can't buy it. There's a few clips from "The Shawn Ryan Show" - where he interviewed a former higher up at the World Bank -- I was an idiot and didnt buy stock right away when the podcast was released -- did it...

    Bobwhite coveys

    Depends on how good the cover is and how many other covies are around -- if you start to shoot one down - within short order I believe they should naturally mix with another neighboring covey - either some of their birds move over or they combine -- I believe there's plenty of data to back up...

    English Setters

    I was that way until my wife changed my mind a few years back -- Rehomed 2 males - they had always lived outside and still do - I frankly do not miss the mess - now my wife has been wanting to get a dog inside as she reversed course -- I dont want it. I dont miss the hair or dirt. Our yard...

    English Setters

    Ask to see the pedigree and post a copy of it if you can. Are they FDSB registered? Do the parents hunt?

    What is the best pair of boots you ever owned for hunting pheasants?

    That's awesome -- I wish I would have known then what I know now -- would have bought a pair like that -- Those look almost just like the pronghorns. I've got a set of their "American made" I went with -- cant remember the model, it was a hunting model though - but they were much heavier than...

    What is the best pair of boots you ever owned for hunting pheasants?

    I haven't looked ad the Danner Recrafting site in a long time - but I was 99% certain they only did recrafting on their "American made" boots -- I dont think Pronghorns were American made then -- I had bought a pair around that time period -- lasted a good # of years and super comfortable -- I...

    Future of CRP ?

    About what I've seen here in KS and what I witnessed when I was on the board of a local group and volunteered etc.

    Future of CRP ?

    That is not it -- Surprised I missed reading about that -- I do distinctly remember (I THINK) -- that Michael Pearce had written an article about it and think that is what brought my attention to it -- it was more in the direction of Pratt/Dodge city if I recall correctly -- was a section of...

    Future of CRP ?

    The parcel I'm referencing was a whole section and this was 10-15 yrs ago or so. I'm guessing PF will unload them soon after they've concluded whatever financial ponzi scheme they use to collect subsidy and easement payments, not keep it in compliance and then try to find a sucker to buy their...

    Good quail hunt

    You actually saw some landowners putting some CRP corners back to grass? (I'm asking this question in amazement) -- in large areas of the state these little patchworks of habitat with the occasional 80, 40, quarter etc of crp or a close by pasture that was well managed helped to support the...

    Future of CRP ?

    They definitely did not give the KS parcel to the state -- it was given to them by someone as estate donation (Wichita Eagle had an article or two on it which is how I became aware -when Michael Pearce was their outdoor writer) -- then they later sold it I can only assume due to name change on...

    Loosing birds

    Fancy....ha -- Wal marts cover most of the US -- a wal mart near you should stock it. They do in all the ones I've been to in KS and a couple in Nebraska. Ammo can make a good difference. I lost a lot of birds in younger days before I used the right and better ammo -- used the cheaper stuff...

    Loosing birds

    Have you patterned your gun with the ammo/loads you like to shoot from various distances? I ask this question being guilty of not following the same advice myself but through trial and error on ammo I've found what works really well and the max range I can shoot. SxS for me 20 ga = SKB model...

    Future of CRP ?

    THIS IS FALSE -- if you do some digging on their tax returns and their various entities they control - they have one arm that can and does own real estate. Did someone at PF tell you this or do you have their corporate bylaws available that explicitly prohibits them from owning land. I've...

    Future of CRP ?

    Remy has me on ignore since I can't stand what I believe is the corruption at PF -- It seems he works for PF or has been completely brainwashed by them -- but he can't stand it if you have an alternate point of view on PF. I'd love to sit down and have a civil discussion w him but that's who I...

    Cimarron this weekend?

    Yes -- but only if you're near their holes where they are hibernating -- In 2010 i had a setter get bit on a 45 or 50 degree day -- it was sunny but the winds were blowing 10-15 from the n so felt bitter -- also the prior night got down near 15 degrees. Anyways we were in an old prairie dog...
