    Vehicle equipment for the boonies

    Working from memories: a GOOD jack includes slabs of wood or metal to put on top of mud or snow to support the jack. Be safe

    Why is deer hunting so popular?

    I'm sorry for you, BD. Sadly, no discussion with the "neighbors" would have any impact on the exploitation of your property. It's not right; but there is it. Best wishes.

    Why is deer hunting so popular?

    When I moved to rural WI 35 years ago, it was pheasant and some duck hunting that drew me as sports. Deer hunting was part social (so I could meet new people), and mostly "venison shopping." There have been years where meat with a different flavor turned out to be beef, so accustomed to...

    How often do you encounter the law?

    That, GM, is a political and/or bureaucratic issue. I've know wardens working days and nights in a row waiting for an "annual" poaching of the deer party by a wealthy family, who run deer with pickups on their property with rifles. The fines are not set by the enforcement officers, but most...

    SXS shotguns

    I've loved SXSs for 55 years. Never had an issue. Current using an AYA sxs 20ga, imp cyl and mod, single trigger, auto ejection. Made in 1963, purchased by me in 1970. Never occurred to me to blame the shotgun Duh. Although I never had any hunting partners say "It was the gun, Kis. You were...

    First pheasant hunt for my son

    Oh, I should have added that if you are careful in your modification of the stock for your son, you can used the truncated wood a few years down the road to restore the length of the stock as your son grows, and you might even initially cut it so that you can put a recoil pad on it to reduce...

    First pheasant hunt for my son

    I'd say get a cheap single shot 20ga, then measure LOP for your son, and cut the stock to size for him. It will be light, it will FIT the kid and make accuracy more likely, and he can be certain the chamber is empty or open, thus enhancing your safety training with him Best wishes. Nice that...

    Best Dogs

    Well...there was this dog, see? His name was Young Bert, the not-right dog; a German Wire-haired Pointer, he was. and there was Mick, a field bred English Springer Spaniel, picked up by a pound in Southern Illinois, who came into my life when he was three years old. Young Bert was energy...

    How to get better at wingshooting

    I usually use modified and improved modified with lead. If birds are getting up further out I use improved modified and full. If I'm required to use lead I use improved cylinder and modified. Is that not restricted enough? I heard you can use steel in Carlson choke tubes up too full. Would that...

    How to get better at wingshooting

    Keep working at it. Forget multi-shot automatics, heck, even forget you have a second barrel. I live in an old farm house in rural WI, so I don't have to worry about neighbors. If you don't live in a similar area, try and find one, or, barring that, call around to a range and see if you can use...
