Great post PJ - on the occasion I get to go shoot Sporting clays or skeet, I hold my gun as I walk with it - except high house station 8 - there is no way I can mount the gun and break that target in time - I've tried! If you are shooting to improve your wing shooting skills, then do all you can...

:ROFLMAO:(y)

I'd start by giving him the dominant eye test - Of course if he closes one eye, then this doesn't matter - This is the first thing I do with new or inexperienced shooters - I've come across a few that were right handed, with a dominant left eye; two choices; close your left eye when you shoot...

just finished watching your video. Thanks for sharing!! It really helps bridge the gap until we get our next opportunity to chase these wily birds. We have all had those "off" days. redemption is sweet! sure fun watching those dogs work!! I guided for +35 years, and observed lots of shooting...

Thanks for your post NDPhez, really happy all worked out for you and Willow! Very scary indeed!! Did enjoy the big smiles(y) Regarding your bullet point #4, well written & agree - have read/enjoyed many great posts over the years...................trolling and picking fly s*** out of pepper not...

Thanks for the post on this guys, my son and I need to buy our licenses and usually wait until the day before we leave. That would have been Sunday this year, not good, with no ability to call SDFG CS (605 223 7660) I too tried logging in, and no go. So I called SDFG - Not sure I would have...

Best of luck to you and your son Miforester! I'll be heading out there with my son about the time you're heading back. I believe you said you're hunting the Redfield area. If you haven't already tried it, Tulare Country Meats has some great meat sticks, jerky, sausage, etc. Safe travels. Happy...

I found your post on this intriguing GH, and agree with your & A5's comments on the strength and will to survive these birds display. During our late season hunt last year, we found one of the birds had gangrene in one of the breast halves, when cleaning it. we were amazed that bird was still...

I've always considered a dropped leg a death knell for the bird, and always do my best to recover the bird, knowing it can't run, etc. Some the dogs have caught, some have flushed, and a few were lying dead. I've never noticed the leg "dropped" when re-flushed, but never paid attention. It...

truly sucks Flushedup. take care of yourself and family. Everyone reacts differently to this virus, if you & family members in fact have it. Hopefully you have a flexible schedule & can get out later this season. The wife & I contracted it out in SD last fall. Took 3 days to start feeling...

Pic of the 26 1/2" tails mentioned yesterday. All three mounted were from 2005, the other two on the winter trip; forward one had some unusual, almost hen like colors, and was not a young bird. No hunting operations in the areas these birds were shot, that we were aware of

Has to be genetics. Really impressive! Thanks again

Wow W30! 50 plus years, never have seen tails that length. Thanks for sharing. Back in 2005, when Cabelas Mitchell used to have a longest tail feather/spur combination, i bagged one with 26 1/2" feathers. You had to bring the bird in with feathers intact so they could validate the bird and...

if it has quail & turkey, I'll buy it. Goose - drive that push button shift Rambler out to South Dakota, and I'll buy all the PBR, Old Milwaukee, Schlitz, you can drink. Then I'll teach you how to shoot the next morning.................................................

shot a triple with three shots on our early November trip. Have done this a number of times over the years, especially when there were very strong bird numbers over a decade ago. Shot four birds on the rise twice (group hunting), the first time a fifth bird was missed. That still haunts...

I bring a king size blanket and a sleeping bag unzipped. If it gets super cold both cover the dog crates. Rarely will I pull the blanket down to fully cover the front. You don’t want too much heat or condensation inside the crate can occur. The blanket and or sleeping bag act as insulation, and...

Wife and I also just returned home, cutting our annual trip short - our lab sprained her right leg and needed stitches on a cut from barb wire 3 days - 15 birds; Observations; - quite a bit of corn still standing & combines were really rolling - so barring major rain delays - harvest should be...
