    2024 opener

    From those I have talked with opener went well. Also hearing one area we hunt corn harvest way ahead and the other it is about normal. Expect we will see a big jump in harvest percent with this weeks report.

    New shotgun barrel length

    Agree it is personal preference but I tend to like longer barrels. My 28 and 20 are 32”. 16 is 29” and 12 is 28”. At some point I’ll likely move to 30’s on my 12. If nothing else as an excuse to buy a new gun. I do like how the longer barrels swing though.

    Retirement gift for me!

    Here is a pretty good looking gun at a real good price considering the adjustable comb and the number of chokes included. Plus Bass Pro/Cabelas will ship it for free if there is one of their stores close to you...

    Retirement gift for me!

    My hunting buddy is retiring in December so decided to buy matching 16’s for pheasant hunting. Just used his retirement as an excuse to buy a new gun. We went with Rizzini Aurum’s. Upgrade from their standard base model but not stupid costly. Lots of good options out there in your range...

    These video guys

    Let me ask you something. How many acres do you think the farmer needs to have 10 guys hunt for a day? How about if they want to hunt for 3 days? Just curious.

    Bird flu

    Have not seen any affects on the pheasant side but did see a few snows last fall that I would ASSUME were flu issues. For the number of snows we saw the percentage showing any signs was crazy low but think it is pretty well documented there is some migratory bird losses.

    OT- homemade meals while on the road

    Here is what I cook over our two plus week trip. Breakfast - either bacon or sausage, eggs, hash browns, pancakes, bagel, English muffin(not all this on the same days but rotate through them). One or two days I do a sausage, cheese and scrambled eggs combo like what would be in a breakfast...
