Don’t let perfection get in your way of good enough. If I’m anticipating a number of quail I’d be carrying 6s instead of my usual 5s. I shoot mostly 6s for pheasants in my 20 anyway to get the pellet count up. To me, trying to anticipate what I’m going to be shooting at or what range is an...

It happened. Twice this weekend in SD we knocked birds down. Marked well. But couldn’t find them after thorough search. After the push, took my shorthairs back to the mark, first one was dead as a door nail and my dog immediately found it. Second one we had seen running after the shot so we left...

Right. The Rizzini was my only Cabelas purchase. Kinda kicking myself for not buying the 12 guage they also had at the sane time. Could have had both for less than 1 new. Saw somebody the other day had bought a clean Pre64 Model 70 for like $500. I might have sold a kid for that one.

I know this is an old thread. But if a person watches the various online auctions and classifieds and Cabelas used gun pages, some steals can be had. I absolutely love my Rizzini Aurum Light 20. 5# 8oz. Purchased at less than half of new. I bought this (bottom) German 5#15 oz 16 guage...

Access and success are needed for recruitment. I’m 45. Have been lucky to have had some amazing hunts over the last 30+ years. Early success on private ground in Kansas, then some phenomenal public ground success kept the drive up to get through the lean times. Been going to SD on private...

What’s inside? Steel. But it’s superior steel than anybody else loads and they’ve always badmouthed because it’s their steel.

Fargo, ND and Overland Park, KS had them on the shelf.

My Russell custom fit boots are perfectly comfortable, and I'm sure will last just fine. That said... They're not just a small percentage higher in cost than Crispi's or other quality boots. South 40 Birdshooters, not custom fit, just off the shelf, are $1065 now. Gustin Birdshooter for...

I’ve got “custom fit” Russell’s. They are good at marketing.

Agree with the hot spotting….but heaven forbid you give an honest review on a title sponsor over there…

Whichever way the wind blows. I said as much on another forum. You’d havej thought I had told the Pope that Mary worked in a strip club.

Don’t go down the rabbit hole of custom Knives. This one arrived from South Africa yesterday.

You’ve got great taste in Cartridges. Was looking at Savage 99s in .250 Savage last night. My Kimber Classic Select in .257 Roberts is my favorite deer rifle. That’s unless I’m carrying my Winchester 1885 6,5x55 Shot Show Special. And I’m always on the lookout for the perfect donor to build a 7x57.

I bought 550+ for both my dogs last year. I doubt I never not have a gps collar to hunt with. I went with the 550+ because it is very simple. It’s a training collar with gps capabilities. I can toggle between dogs and tone or stimulate them without looking at it. Have it blue toothed to my...

Thanks. I love Hank Shaws recipes. He talks like a common person and is easy to follow. Have bought a few of his cookbooks.

Mass cleaning at end of each day, leaving foot on. No wing. “Rough cleaned and rinsed”. Nowhere near eat-worthy. 2 per ziplock bag and into coolers on ice or in fridge at hunt location. Travel home, and usually it’s the day after the trip that they get food-worthy cleaned. I typically bag...

I’ve seen uni-strut mounted to the side and front of the bed and used as tie down points. Toyota has a factory rail option that does the same thing at a higher cost and slightly better of aluminum extrusion. Could probably buy some 80:20 or T-slot rail and make a customized rail to your...

Yep, I think I have 4 pairs in my “misc” box and dog box. Have had others recommended, but they didn’t have the “notch” close to the hinge, so when yiu go to clip the leg or wing it goes squirting out. I also enter from the vent and cut up each side of the backbone coming out at the neck. Cut...

Exactly how we do it. Farmer in western Kansas showed us how.

Boss reminds me of a politician. Any which way the wind blows them.
