Don’t take this the wrong way but they are there. Some people have more of a knack for seeing them Then others. You mentioned burns so assume you mean CRP. Get on the trails and start walking. Be surprised how many you can find there.

Damn I was really sweating waiting on this reply. Glad to say I don’t check any of those boxes! Oh wait a second. I only hunt with one buddy and with just two of us there is always a line no matter what direction we walk. Does that put me in to Gucci classification??

Those are nice guns. Not been around the 12’s but have 20 and 28’s. I wouldn’t worry about recoil or cutting the stock. Buy it and see how it is. If needed cut and put quality recoil pad on it. Either way enjoy it!

intereting. For me the actual kill is the sad part because it puts the end to that deers horns me. Probably why I very seldom ever pull the trigger. I’d much rather look for the sheds and then compare to other years and to await the next set he was gonna grow. You can only shoot them once but...

Label them by farm and by year and put them in the basement. Then use them to track growth of deer we kill or finds sheds of the following year and compare. I give some smaller ones away to friends for the their dogs to chew on. Have considered maybe selling some dog chews but I enjoy collecting...

The old man pulled off a matched set find today in the first 5 minutes. Only his second day out so far this year so a good start. 14 total horns so far this year. Long ways to get our goal of 100.

I agree and I’m one of them. 😂

Goad to hear healing well.

Congrats.

Nice write up. Never easy as your dog ages and for me the reality check is when you know for sure there are less hunting seasons ahead of them then are behind them. One of my springers will be 10 when next season roles around. Knowing we are approaching the back end of his hunting career is...

Why is that?

Welcome from OH. Good group of people here.

Not sure most would be the term but as with any demographic there is a wide range of different scenarios from true hobby farmers to full time farming and every arrangement in between.

Usually 8. 4 in each pocket. Usually shoot tow different loads in each barrel. Right pocket bottom barrel and left pocket is top barrel.

Not sure I follow this? If not needed put it in a pocket and let it ride there. Also why would you have to look at it all the time? If the dog goes missing you use it. Other wise you don’t.

Also you can run 3 dogs on the 550 pro. Love mine.

Same here along with the name and contact info of the farmer that rents it. Also any notes such as like brand xxx bourbon and so on. This is in addition to have my them marked on Onyx. Been a good winter. Picked up 4 new places to hunt next fall for sure and a couple of other possible’s. 👍👍

Is it wrong that I already have a list started with the properties we are going to hunt each day next year?

hunted some new areas but out of our 15 days of hunting probably 11-12 were on ground we have hunted the previous years. In a roughly 30 mile east to west and 100 miles north to south I would say numbers were up 20-30%. There was one area that the landowner said were down and our boots on the...

I love how these threads get sideways sometimes. I have transitioned to only hunting with O/U’s strictly by choice. I don’t think any less about anyone shooting a semi auto with an extended magazine that loads 9 in their gun. To each their own. There are times every year I wish I had a third and...
