I'm a fan of the light mod choke for my guns too. It's what's in my Benelli UL right now.

I would look at an A5 and compare to an A400.

Probably in Kansas.

I've tried different insoles over the years and I haven't found any that I like, so I normally just use the cheap factory insoles. Most are too thick and end up changing the fit and taking up too much room in the foot box for me. But I keep trying. I've started breaking in a new pair of Lowa...

I've never hung birds. I clean them and freeze the same day. Maybe I'll try it this year.

With the colder weather coming, I decided it was time to get winterized a bit to ensure my dogs and I are comfortable in the truck. - Got kennel covers on my kennels that I keep in the back of my truck. They make a big difference for the dog. - Put a wool blanket in my truck to put over the top...

I used to do that when I was young and my parents were dead ass broke. I had less than a full box of shells to my name and had to conserve the shells I had, so I did my best to limit second shots. Shells are expensive. Maybe it's a cost issue.

Thanks. I am and honestly he doesn't travel well. On my last long trip, he didn't eat when we got there and had stomach issues and the people I traveled with had Pro-Pectalin, which seem to help get things under control quickly. They breed Vizslas and carry it with them on trips, so I bought...

I use the Scheels vests for my dogs.

Sometimes I have the ability to stumble and bumble and get into an area almost by accident that turns out to be great....that's the plan for this trip anyway.

I normally don't mention the state let along the town or county where I hunt but I made an exception a few years ago. A young man who I've known since he was a kid had recently lost his adopted mom and dad and had asked me where to go elk hunting. He had never gone before and didn't know where...

I just made reservations to stay in a small town, that I've never been to, in an area I've never hunted. It's about as remote as I can find and it's going to be a long 2 day drive for me. I'm going by myself, taking 2 dogs and plan on hunting 7 days in the field before I leave. I'm leaving on...

Meh..I wouldn't care how many times they shoot. My nephews wouldn't listen to me regardless. But I would guess that when they see others drop birds with the second or third shot, they'll quickly figure it out on their own.

I used to use a bell when I was living and hunting grouse in the mountains of PA. That was pre-gps and the only way to know where your dog was. I still have two bells but haven't used them in years. That said, I hunt some areas where I can't see my dog most of the time and I've thought about...

None of them were over 67 or retired much more than a year. That's what always bothered me and I'm 66 now...so I'm trying to learn from their mistakes. One had chest pains the week before, ignored them, didn't go get it checked and went back out the next weekend. That was a mistake. They were...

I think it's great you're calling the shots and going out on your own terms. Three of my high school coaches, died hunting after retirement. I think about that all the time for some reason. We all have to measure ourselves more carefully as we get older and know when to call it a day or know...

I know a retired state biologist and she is going to show me a few areas in Missouri that she knows hold quail. She worked there for 30 years and lives locally. She told me nobody ever hunts them and I'll have them to myself. I normally don't hunt Missouri and I'll probably just use them for dog...

My 13 year old has anxiety attacks on car rides and we have to medicate her for trips, so she'll sleep through it. Her rear legs and hips are going and she has lost most of her hearing. She wouldn't get any enjoyment out of it and the risk is greater than the reward.

My 13 year old Vizsla stays at home with the wife. She just can't do it anymore.

I age deer, turkey and elk before I shoot but aging pheasant is tough. I bring a tape measure in my vest but the pheasant never hold still long enough for me to measure their spurs.
