Wise move and your logic makes sense. I too have the same gauge as a backup when out of state or 2-3 day hunt trip. The CZ has the reputation of being a reliable gun. My backup 16 is an old Western Field pump (browning A5 design) that I started with when I turned 15 years old. Had it re-work...

Just back from Nebraska sharp-tail hunting and saw few to make the weekend worth & fun. The temp did get up in the mid to high 70sin the afternoon but the morning was about right. Yes the NW Panhandle showed some of the drought conditions but the State feedback for that part of the state showed...

I know that many here are not with this kind of thinking but here is my thoughts. I am 72 yrs old with a neck surgery fused and both knee replacement (arthritis) but still hunt. Today I am good for a few days chasing wild birds then a break before going out again. Even if I just have a few hours...

I gave my son my 101( 1965) and he loves it. He can shoot the H...... out of it.

Is there a reason why you want a 16ga having one already? I know once a 16ga lover always a 16ga lover. However, if you want just to have the ability to go o/u way and on a budget as for a second gun- look into the savage 555, CZ & Tristar trinity. They are well built & solid reviews etc. If...

I have all the A5 Browning 12,16 &20, I also have a Rizzini 20ga o/u. They have all brought down their share of Roosters. The 12ga is now too heavy for me to carry in the fields and the 20ga (older version) I am able to walk a few fields with it before I notice my mounting is suffering. So here...

This is what my gunsmith told me as I was having some recycle issues as well. " The new A5 particularly the 16ga will be needing more throughout cleaning than previous guns. It made be a breaking in period but always clean it after a good use. I cant tell you why that is"

My last report from a local farmer just recently indicated a tough year again. He suggested if you like tough hunting come. If you want birds stay home. He had not started harvesting yet so he said not sure of the bird population but had not seen alot. Not promising :cry:

I do the travel trailer thing about a couple of times on multi-days trips during hunting season. I do use it about 12 times during summer for family camping here in CO and the west. I can usually have about 4 days on the double batteries while dry camping but all the other conveniences from...

Still have a few in the deep freezer and planing on making some sausages. Getting ready for another year harvest

A bad year in MT upland is a great year elsewhere!!! NE MT is where I have some experience with success as recent as the fall of 2020. Staying closer to my turf for now as gas prices etc have increased. GO for it, its all an adventure.

Huns are in good numbers in Mt (weather dependent) and that is where I have shot them and hunted for them. We have found them in the areas that Sharpies are. SO, I think as habitat have changed as one goes east so has the huns. Old timers ( i mean older timers since I am 72) talked about them...

Tom - good choice. I have a couple of friends that love theirs. The recoil from a lighter and enertia is normal vs a gas one. However once you are on game, you will not notice it. I do gas if trap shooting and inertia when hunting. A box of shell when hunting is seldom spent/shot. Enjoy your new...

I am not a pro trainer even after having trained 11 GSPs. Not knowing the background of your 7 yr old GSP, it would be difficult to say why the creeping. Sometimes a bird dog that has had significant amount of preserve bird hunting learn that if they move in slowly they can. This is not the case...

Today is motel if I know is a good one or my travel trailer. The TT way is an expensive way to go and to get your money worth it should be use for every other travel etc. In the past I use a "truck slide popup camper and the truck shell method. If you do your research either can be had for a...

I know where you’re coming from Part of the evolution of an upland hunter Today more and more manufacturers are producing lighter autos to keep up with us baby boomers 😂 You have lots of choices If it feels good and fits then go for it You always have another reason to add another to the vault

Thanks getting too excited for this season The photos of my “hall of fame” includes all my GSPs since 1971 They never get old The photos that is😂

Here are my 2 GSP that Reina brown ticked and Raven at 7 months black ticked

Here my deal and Im sure not alone with the experience. When I was younger and full of nervous energy, all and every bird field looked good and I worked it. Then no birds. Needless to say toward the end of the day, I was bushed and the dogs were, well not hunting or searching any more than I...

I used a vest for many years. Then I got a browning/PFE strap vest, never go back to the traditional vest. Now I just layer in colder days.
