Never had the itch to collect much for shot guns. I shoot my 11-87 pretty decent, so that is what I hunt with, after a few decades you get to know a gun pretty well. I have enough for a spare or 2 and can outfit a couple guys if needed. Have pretty much what I want, I don't even window shop...

Sounds like tough hunting conditions. I think if that were all the birds I saw in couple of hours of hunting, I wouldn't be hunting those few that are left. It isn't just shooting of the roosters as much as stirring-up the hens. Conditions aren't tough enough yet to where that would make much...

A5 is your neighbor.

He has some points and is spot on with the videos and ego stroking. I guess I post pics here, I haven't posted a single pic on FB this year, not sure if subconsciously I was feeling what the article is addressing?? I don't follow or watch the "Meateater" deal or even watch videos posted here...

Is the dog up to where he can see out the windows when you are on these rides? We had a little dog that would get sick if she was on the floor. It happened taking her to the vet, he acted like everyone should know not to put a dog on the floor...I didn't, until that moment.

My young fella from yesterday brought a friend and we hunted our CRP today. The wind was about 10mph higher and the temps about 10* lower than yesterday, but no precip today! I met them at 10:00, we each shot our own limits and were heading for the trucks in just over an hour. I only had a...

I started in a canvas coat, might have lost some of it's water repellency over the last decade, and Filson waxed canvas chaps. My lower level wasn't terrible, but most of the moisture before my first change came from down the collar and in the front (I should have buttoned it up more). The...

I always thought a brand new F250 super crew pick-up would be a nice gift.

I hunted a river bottom with the young guy this morning, about an hour after the snow started (it snowed the entire time we were out), there we filter strips along it, but the birds were in the 15 foot tall willows that were in the corners, low in the waterway. With only 2 of us, it was hard to...

Search "gloves" in the title and there are years worth of suggestions.

Well, the rain just turned to snow about 10 minutes ago. If it stays this light. it should be OK. I have a college kid going out with me this morning, waiting until 8:30 to get a bit brighter out there. I don't think there is supposed to be too much, but yes, the ground should be warm and...

I am going out with a college kid tomorrow, but the young guys are the exception here too.

I am a 4, in a hen flush I am click, click. click, click, click (off, on, off, on, off, on). My index finger lives on the safety, if I am in any cover.

But the question is, "When do you release (click-off) the safety?" 1. Once you enter the field 2. When the dog seems birdy 3. When the dog locks on point 4. When the bird flushes 5. What are you talking about, it is always off 6. Once you ID the bird as a rooster Not sure ow I got things out of...

Same here...winged, running, in the open (not in heavy cover) and I am certain I know where all dogs (and people) are. I am pretty sure duck hunters don't shoot the ducks in with their decoys. I think most hunters that release the safety when the bird flushes, would be surprised by how many...

Here in NW Iowa, there are saying Saturday morning, cooler and a few inches of snow is what they are predicting now...after it slides thru South Dakota I am assuming. The older I get, the less I am feeling like fighting the weather, Maybe it will just be a little of nothing. Guessing it is...

Marty are you calling me out on this?

I have been told here that I can't comprehend and I don't read, that could be true. I thought "shooting his age" meant shooting that number of roosters in a season. My bad. An apology is issued to all I offended.

57 is 19 limits. You need to have a big place to yourself or a lot of places available to you and shoot reasonably well. Heck, 15 days in SD, take a couple of subpar shooters along, who are OK with you help them fill their limits and that has a real good chance on shooting your age with just...
