Friend of mine in NW near Hoxie - Hill City area says people cutting corn and beans are not seeing birds. I've come to distrust these surveys.

astute observation. a retiring KS game warden was given a page in the state's wildlife magazine to say goodbye, express his views, etc. He said that in 20 years of being a warden he did not come across EVEN ONE deer camp where everything was on the up and up.

that does look like a good buy. those protruding choke tubes are nice; no need for a tool and much handier for changing chokes while afield.

well deserved

one great thing about this forum is that politics is kept out, praise be

The basic Beretta o/u is the Silver Pigeon which Cabelas sells for $2500. The Citori 725 is priced about the same. Both fine guns.

Hardly any birds in KS or NE. But do your due diligence re SD because it has changed too. The wildlife authority now says there are more birds east of the river than west as used to be the case. I interpret that to mean that the population west of the river plummeted, not that the east side...

a malicious act, nothing less

I tried a pair of Meindels. Toe box too big and I was hunting rough chukar country. Got blisters. Solved the problem with Danner B width boots. Hard to pull on but no blisters ever.

:censored:

I always wear gloves: Cabelas camoskinz. They have a sticky grid on the palm making it much easier to hold the gun. If it's cold I wear an insulated glove on the left hand.

had excellent service from DogTra collars

here's a good reason to use ecollars: fall harvest is going strong. farm equipment and grain trucks are roaring up and down the roads. you've knocked down a bird and it fell or died on the road - and here comes a grain truck doing sixty. can you stop your dog without an ecollar? another...
