    28 gauge

    Yeah, but I'm about to cross that line. I won't go out of state and pay for tame birds but I'm getting pretty tired of spending half my hunt Knocking on doors or trying to run people down only to be denied. Or worse yet, going to the same old places that I have permission and not seeing birds. I...

    Are you better at sporting clays or wild birds?

    I used to be addicted to sporting clays. Depending on how difficult the course is of course. But for me when I 1st started, sporting clays were at least twice as difficult maybe 3 times harder. I shot a lot of clay from regular throwers, sometimes two throwers trying to make the shots as...

    28 gauge

    Like jmuller said above. I wouldn't feel under gunned with a 4.10, If I only took the birds that get up at my feet.

    Are you Break Open 2 barrel (O/U and SXS) or Autoloader guy

    I owned most of the best brands. The 870-wing master was a great gun. The model 12's were probably the best ever made, But the 37 was the lightest, fastest most deadly of them all. I still have my 16 that I bought for 80.00 in about 72. And my 12-gauge serial # 722. And my model 12 trap gun...

    Try not to shoot a lot of heavy loads, unless you don't mind some loose fillings. 😁

    Getting old is not fun!

    My dad as still rabbit hunting alone all day at 89. He wouldn't wait a couple days for me to get off work. I thought I would get those genes, but it sure doesn't feel like it!

    What’s farmland selling for in your area(s)?

    Yup, two of my best friends. One, all siblings' nieces and nephews had nothing to do with his dads and uncles farms. He worked for his uncle for free for 40 years, while his uncle was a railroader, along with his and his sister's farm. After his uncle retired he sold all the stock because it was...

    What’s farmland selling for in your area(s)?

    I saw some pretty good ground a while back for 8k an acre. That's pretty cheap here. Seems like recreational/ hunting ground is going higher. Most farmers I know are pretty small. They are holding on but starting to think about selling. Same old story. Kids don't want anything to do with farming.

    Boots , what ya like?

    That's what my brother wears. I like the feel and fit of them but could never get them to hold up. But the fauna is a lot different here. Lots of briars, multiple rose and such. In my prime I'd shred a pair of briar pants a year. I need ankle support also. When wearing rubber or hiking boots I...

    Retirement gift for me!

    I got the chance to handle one last year. It was beautiful. But I didn't care for the feel, balance and bulk. But I wouldn't turn one down as a present.

    Boots , what ya like?

    You won't be disappointed in the Meindls. Very lite, but also very good ankle support. I also have several different brands, but I always reach for the Irish setter Terrain's. lite weight, pretty durable and a decent price. I bought another pair of EE's I'm going to try and wear them in some...

    Do u shoot a second time at a bird that’s been hit?

    I normally do not because by the time I see that they are not hit well, they are getting pretty low. I always look at their head when they're on the way down. If that head is up, you'd better get there quick.
