    Blockers, what chokes are you using.

    If I'm pretty sure my shots are going to be limited, whether blocking or not I always shoot full. Lots of birds and a good dog, improved or mod. If I'm having a mental breakdown and can't hit, no choke change will fix it.

    Sacrificial pants

    I wore the frog togs for rainy day turkey hunting with just underwear underneath until I squatted down and ripped the crotch out. WHEW.. That was chilly walk back to the truck. I do still wear the tops. Very light weight and waterproof but no pockets.

    Uninsulated Boots??

    I would 2nd the Gunflints. Not the most comfortable. Not the most waterproof. But as durable as boots I've paid twice the money for.

    Odd Encounters...

    Many years ago, I heard a shot and looked up to see the neighbor boys walking down the fencerow that divides our place from theirs. As I watched I saw a quail get up and they shot and missed it. I let my shorthair out and walked across the field to them. Old Bob was a veteran that seldom made a...

    The second I saw this I had a flash back to the 80's, when Gun Dog magazine's photos would actually make my pulse quicken!!! You should frame that one.

    Dealing with stickers

    Be careful though. I sheared my setter down to nothing once years ago. He felt great but laid out in the sun and got sunburned. I felt terrible.

    Dealing with stickers

    Bring him home full of cockle burs and tell (beg) your wife to debur him. Could be a win win either way!

    Strange Deer Encounter

    Cronic wasting disease? Blue tung? I'm not sure of the correct term. We had it bad in Indiana. I found tons dead ones in or around water. Biologists said the spread was accelerated by feeders and mineral/salt blocks. I think there are still cases, but the populations have rebounded now.

    Ithaca Mod 37 16 ga. Mod choke pattern?

    I've had a lot of experience with the 37s. Wonderful guns up until sometime in the 70's I think. That does not mean that if your gun was made after that that it is junk. But they did suffer some quality issues. My first was the exact gun you mentioned. A 50's model. You'll be fine, just don't...

    The Backroad Hunting and Camping Solution

    You have a point. I remember when the leases and guide outfits moved into southern Iowa. Several homes were purchased by hunters and to rent out to them. It didn't last long as the bird populations were starting to fluctuate even back then. Then plummeted.
