    Rising straight away shot

    Yup, after grouse hunting for a while, I would literally take a breath before I shouldered the gun for fear of blowing them to smithereens.

    Rising straight away shot

    I used to live for grouse hunting. So, I understand what you mean. Instinctive shooting is a form of sustained lead. Gun comes up in front of the bird and the trigger is yanked, and the bird rolls. Then I would stand there thinking How'd I do dat!:unsure:

    Semi repost: what is everyone's layering system

    At 15 degrees or so, tee shirt, sweatshirt, Flannel shirt, sweatpants, hunting bib overalls, hunting coat. Under 15 degrees, I'll just clean some guns and look out the window! As for 1/4 sip stuff, have a look at the game hide sweatshirt. I have one with the game bag on it. It's pretty good but...

    Rising straight away shot

    My buddy and I were just talking about that yesterday. I was bragging about my shooting prowess, then proceeded to miss the next two and kill the next one on the second shot. And the time he shot 5 quail strait, then missed the rest of his shots the rest of the day. You know the moral of the story!

    Rising straight away shot

    A simple way to raise your colm is a piece of mole skin. I think someone makes a pad with different shims also. But strait away clay pigeons will do it also. I think I seem to focus on the movement of the wings and not the head a lot, giving me infamous ass shot.

    Rising straight away shot

    Strait away rising and strait incoming is basically the same sight picture. You need to cover the bird with the sight. easier said than done most of the time.

    I had a Wire once that would literally eat anything. I saw her gobble down a small animal that was nothing more than grease. I once smelled something terrible coming from her doghouse. Pulled the top off and there was an animal that was so far gone I couldn't identify. My gag reflex got a...

    Dog not eating when on the road hunting

    I've also had this problem. When I noticed that our dogs would eat after getting used to the surroundings and will always eat my buddy's leftover food of a different brand 1st. So, I mix the dog foods together, add a pouch of gainsbuger and some warm water. Then I use a small canvas tarp to put...

    Bird shooting lesson learned

    There are really 3 different techniques, swing through, sustained lead and pull ahead. I seem to shoot better if I don't think about any of them!!

    Oddest Animal Pointed Ever

    Found my old pointer in knee high grass one time. She was probably 300 yards away. Had to cross a ditch and a fence. Walked up expecting a big covey only to find a calf curled up sound asleep. Good thing mama wasn't around.
