LOL..

Went up for the Saturday opener. I had two flush wild off of a hillside. Tried to pick them up but couldn’t find them. Walked a few more miles and flushed two off of a hillside. Flubbed the first shot then rolled one on second shot. I saw where the other one sailed and went over and...

We’ll be out there. Enjoy it every year.

Good luck.

September 1st has come and gone and for us it our 17th year in a great spot that has had its highs and lows but we’ve never come off the mountainside empty handed. This year was outstanding. We had our limits by 10:15am. Ran into three large coveys. Didn’t have to chase singles.

1/2-3/4” works perfect for 12ga

Telemetrics has specific targets you need to use but you can buy them from National Target Company. Nice thing is I can screen shot my targets and keep them for reference. You can go on Amazon and buy a bore gauge. I just run it in the muzzle, lock it in place and measure with a micrometer. I...

I always measure my bores. It helps me when I select chokes. My older Citori’s have pretty tight bores in comparison to what they advertise so I have to be selective on which chokes to use. I use Briley extended in my Citori’s but Rhino chokes in my A400 (I only use that for sporting clays)...

Have you ever measured the bores and each choke? I have found numerous times what it says on the tube is not what the choke actually is in regards to the bore constriction. Browning factory chokes are notorious for it. Most aftermarket’s are true to size. Your patterns look good for hunting...

I have a couple of questions for you. 1) Shotgun make 2) Factory or Aftermarket chokes (maker)

Here in the very NW corner it covered in heavy snow. Most roads look good until you hit where it drifted. Some drifts are manageable but others are pretty bad. Tried getting into a draw I know that holds birds but turned back at a crossroads when they way I was headed was drifted over...

It depends on the amount of snow. If there isn’t a lot of snow you can. Generally that will be a guard bird, old males or one that over shot the flock. The main flock will be almost an impossibility. They are very hard to get close to when snow pushes down the cover. Lots of eyes looking...

Fought my way through the drifts today. Only got in one walk but it was a couple of miles. Saw some tracks but couldn’t pin them down. Snow was a hard crust and I post holed for most of my walk. The dogs were struggling trying to stay on the scent of the birds who were obviously running in...

Hunting late season is the toughest. They really do bunch up and are very difficult to approach but it still can be done. It is best to find where they are loafing and approach them there instead of trying to jump them while they are feeding. During the winter times I try to go out on...

Okay now that we’ve had a few pages discussing what and what’s not right in our state let’s get back to the op Did a quick walk after work. Walked two miles. Flushed 3 hens and then 20 yards from the truck a rooster busts free and drops to the shot.Then on Saturday I went old school for...

Got out again for a couple of walks. First WIHA was quiet. Flushed a hen. Ran into a muley buck down in a draw. He actually shadowed us on our way back to the truck. His left tines were broken off so looked like he had been scraping and maybe he was just looking for another fight. Pushed on...

Hit a WIHA this morning that generally holds birds. The birds were there. Flubbed a couple of cake shots but got it under control. I didn’t see a lot of birds but more than last year.

After a hiatus for family matters I got back after chickens. It was pretty warm on Saturday so I limited myself to two descent walks. First walk was quiet save for a coyote who popped up in the longer grass. Our meeting was brief that was followed with a quick parting shot. The second walk...
