That might be a January trip, weather permitting. I'm working on a pre-Christmas hunt now. Maybe up in the northwest, If I can figure out how to miss deer season.

I don't really have a desire to have a gun that's worth so much that I can't take out and bang it up some. I've got a pretty some pretty nice sxs's and o/u's in all the common gauges. But I'm still a sucker for light weight 20's. I'll probably have an Ithaca skb with 25-inch barrels sooner or later.

Yes, I have connections, having hunted there for years. I did look at the roadside counts. Looks like quail #s are up.

I'll let the coyotes have them before I take the chance again. I was lucky. Hunting down a deep creek with zero cover, bean stubble. Looking for singles from a covey. Dog came from behind me and went down the 6' bluff bank. A quail got up at the exact moment, probably 15 yards ahead. Dropped it...

That's pretty good. I also think it's obvious that a 2 3/4 20 does not even come close to having the range or killing power of a 12. :)

Ok, yeah, she's just a little soft. That makes sense. A lot of soft dogs will do just that. Soft dogs usually are also more loving. I do enjoy that. I had a shorthair bitch that would run up and jump in my lap if I raised my voice. She didn't like the thick stuff either. Just because she doesn't...

I don't know about the 2 3/4 20 for Pheasants. Many years ago, I took one to Iowa. And before you say I wasn't hitting them properly, I assure you I was. It was a cripple fest. And no I didn't pick my shots either.

Bought a pair of winter golf gloves. Not impressed. Then I found them!! I couldn't remember for crap the brand of my favorites that they quit making some years ago. So, I searched Thinsulate driving gloves on E bay. About to give up when they popped up. Gates!! bought one pair and bidding on...

Has she had a checkup? I had one do that once. Turned out to be Hook worms. A buddy of mine bought a setter from a good line. She was kind of shy and wouldn't hunt. He asked me to go out with them and give him my expert opinion. We went out twice. Once she wouldn't hunt once she went back to the...

Skeet 2 is like light modified???

I can think of a lot worse ways to go. I just hope I got one in the vest. I'd hate to go out with a goose egg:)

I had to laugh when I watched a Roger Raglin hunting with a 4.10 He was walking down a mowed strip yakking on about the habits of the pheasants and how he thought they would be up here feeding on the Milo. Don't get me wrong, I shoot a lot of flare nares, but I don't want to watch it on TV. And...

I told my wife that I did some jogging yesterday. She said wow, you are really taking this getting in shape stuff seriously. I didn't tell her it was downhill to the only tree in sight and that I was about too pee in my pants!!

Was that the guy with the black lab. Raven? I watched it until I found out Raven was his first dog! Then I thought WTH, I've been watching, and taking notes from a guy who's shooting flare nares with his first dog that I'd bet someone else trained!!:rolleyes:

Found it ordered it.

Only guys with some years behind them will get that one.

Check with your Vet. But I think you can give them Dramamine. All but one dog that I've been around that did that got over it. The best thing to do is exactly what you're doing. It may help if you start taking them almost everywhere you go. Also letting them ride in the cab can help. But that...

My 8-year-old wire has been limping after hunting on a front foot/leg for a couple years. Neither me nor the Vet has any Idea. This year it's worse, sometimes not being able to put it down after a few hours of hunting. A half of a 100 mlg. Carprofen helps a lot. If I'm hunting every day, I'll...

Cool.

Well, hell. Anyway, when I got my first o/u, I shot the top barrel first for a long time before someone told me that was wrong. I never noticed any difference.
