Saturday was a nice, cold December day.

That taking the safety off as the gun is shouldered is so ingrained in me, that the occasional times I'll leave the safety off as I'm shooting backyards clays (standing in position, at the ready to make the shot), that it messes up my mount. I can't even do a premount to shoot clays (or actual...

Final Rise touts their straps as having no padding or obstructions to mess with a gun mount. 🤷‍♂️

A neck gaiter is a must when windy and cold.

Merino base of a tshirt, long sleeve tshirt, ot heavier quarter zip with hood. Then a quarter zip synthetic long sleeve of some type. If it’s dry maybe a Western Welder pearl snap. Sometimes a synthetic hoody if it’s cold Outer shell is an old Cabelas wind stopper upland soft shell. If...

Oldie but a goodie.

I used bacon for my fat. I think straight pork fat and a bit more would have been a better choice. It wasn’t bad by any means. I think straight pork fat would have been better. I make a lot of deer sausage. Keep things cold. On the verge of frozen. It all goes through the grinder better...

I have redundant doubled up paracord on my 550 plus, both long enough I can use around my neck for short jaunts. On all day hunts I loop them through a loop on my strap vest and rest it in a pocket.

Bucket list bird. Have seen them while antelope hunting in Wyoming. Need to make a dedicated trip with them as the target.

It isn’t marked. I’m guessing it’s a Sauer forging and then finished by a small shop. A guild gun, even if the German gurus get upset saying that. The action of my top two pictures are identical, just the engraving and accoutrements are different between them.

Merkel 1620s on the used market is another option. 16 on their 20 frame. What I’ve dorked around with buying older used, I could have combined dollars for a Merkel. That said, older used are not a bad option. My “new” 110 year old 16 this weekend. Twin sister 16 but only 105 years old...

Not with the “magic eraser” add on to google photos there isn’t a tailgate.

I noticed that, assumed there was a way to go in and do just what you're saying, but wasn't curious enough to dig in and find out.

Lots of times everybody says 'just walk the edges near food' when talking about a big section of CRP. I agree with that, mostly. But like some others are hitting on above, there are spots in the middle of a big CRP patch that are often totally different 'habitat' than just a desert of grass...

I don't drink, so don't get to take credit for that. Our hosts might have a bit too much Indian in them...:)

Used a new 550 plus last week in SD for 4 days. I thought it was easy to understand. The handheld is only slightly bigger than my old 550 handheld. I have it synced to my Instinct watch. Again, super easy to use. Also synced to my phone to use the Garmin Explore app but never used that other...

Lot of great pics in here.

I’ll wear you guys out. Add your own. :)

Because old farm equipment is neat. I don't make the rules, its just how it is. :D :D :D
