True, but once you get to 100, it becomes phenomenal karma…trust me.

You’ve had a good run! Enjoy the trip!

I’m a recovering catholic…Goose is like some sort of religious figure in my past I never quite figured out or reconciled, there was abuse…just like he abuses us here in his unique way…

You really needed a priest to spank your bare ass with the young rooster, while two nuns firmly held each of your arms to avoid escape…while Goose looked on from a nearby knoll, pouring a warm PBR over his head in victory…

A game pusher with a boom box crankin fitty cent! That’s the ticket!

A snare drum would be tolerable…feel like you’re at a football game

Perhaps in the chaos of birds flushing, etc, things happen in a quick, in deliberate fashion? Not saying that it’s happened to me in 1000+ days of bird hunting. I agree, thoroughness is preferred…

Oscar, thanks for sharing the posts that you have…very poignant and they pull on the heartstrings…God bless, enjoy, and I hope 2026 finds you back in SD!!!!

I’ll implement that edict asap…

My former gunsmith told me a longer LOP usually helps one’s shooting…he retired…terrific gunsmith…Eric Meitzner, Solon Springs, WI…something about the way u mount the gun that has a longer LOP…

Him and lots of other farmers! But, lots of acres got put back in to habitat. No more of his land will be put into conservation, but very fortunate for us hunters that so much did…a year or two ago I googled his name, and found an ad he put in the Mitchell paper in the early ‘70’s…”farm help...

I believe the contract is the contract…either 10 or 15 years…he basically had no family…one son who he didn’t acknowledge, got nothing, basically. A family in the area took him in during his last few years…kinda got the whole shooting match…a bit more complexity than that, but more or less...

Benelli website shows LOP of 14 3/8”….i know lots of guys well under 6’ tall that shoot this gun. I find 14 1/4-1/2” LOP to be pretty standard out of the factory. Anyway, I love this gun, especially the ultralight. Birds go down…must fit me well.

Yes, they were Saturday’s birds, plus Sunday and Monday…got down to about 40 Saturday nite/Sunday morning…put them in a cooler with ice packs…all the birds were perfect. As others have said, never put warm birds in a frig/cooler if they’re touching each other…they’ll still go bad. I leave...

Bird#’s are good, lots of corn up yet. Just cleaned 9, 8 were this years birds, probably hatched May/early June…good sign. Season will be fun, probably really good. 9 month old lab has had 3 sharpy trips and now a pheasant trip…about 16 hunting days, really hunting well and finding downed...

Sunday was warmer with less wind, sunny all day, highs in mid-60’s…took some big breaks midday, finished up in the golden hour. Our 3rd guy, dogless, did some bigtime missing…no biggy…hunted longer to finish. Lots of corn standing. Birds seem decent to good…dogs are all holding up pretty...

Before I’d decide the strategy, I’d choose the cover to hunt first; this weekend thus far has solidified my preference for small covers when it comes to solo hunting or hunting with one other guy. We had 3, so we’d usually have a solo guy and then a pair nearby, within a 1/2 mile or a mile...

Hunting was good, 3 of us finished at 2 pm. One guy with no dog. We started in a sea of grass, CREP, got 3….switched to small cover, got 6 pretty quick.

We like them!
