That hissing and cussing is just them wanting you to rub their belly. So my buddy says anyway…

Wait until your shorthair goes on point and you walk in to flush a rooster and it’s a badger. They’re generally not happy with you being there. My old dog has pointed two of them.

Cool gun. Dads got a great great uncles 1894 Marlin from 1906 in .25-20. Always thought one or an 1892 in .32-20 would be cool too.

.32-20?

Opening weekend last year we shot multiple roosters that barely had any coloration on them. Just catch a glimpse of a white ring on their neck, or a cackle and some faint color as they flushed. Not sure how old that would put them, but they were WAY young birds.

Saw some turkeys I’d say were bigger than pheasants last week on the edge of Joplin.

One of my favorites, more ducky than pheasant, but its not even about hunting even if it is a hunting song....if that makes sense.

Hunted Kansas my entire life and never gave a second thought as to what gun to carry based on 'getting stuff in the action'. 870's (20s and 12s), Ithaca 37s (my favorites in 20 and 16), Winchester Model 12s (just picked up a 16 to go with my grandpas 12), are the pump guns I've carried...

Opening weekend last year hunted a 20 acre? cattail 'swamp' next to a railroad track, private property. Alfalfa I think on one end, some combined crops around, and some uncombined. There was no shortage of birds in it. A month and half later, there also was no shortage of birds in it. I hate...

Here's your pic for easier viewing-I love looking at pointing dogs.

Your post about High Plains gunstocks is going to cost me a lot of money I think. Just bought a 16 gauge from 1923 last week. Going to send to Mike Orlen for tubes. Gotta get the chamber/ejection port lengthened, then I’m going to try my hand at rust bluing. If it turns out decent, going to...

I find it funny. But not enough to get worried about in any way.

I’m on 4 seasons of a custom to foot made South 40 Birdshooter. I like them just fine, they’re very comfortable. . $500 at the time (wife bought for me). They tout them as being waterproof without fancy liners. They’re not. They’ll leak like a sieve in ankle deep water, not standing in it...

2 things stand out to me here. 1. You don’t need that kind of negativity in your life. 2. Kids guns don’t count against the quota system. My kids have a ton of guns….heck, my 10 year old daughter even got a nice shorthair for her 4th birthday. “Surprise!” Joking. Kinda….

Slippery slopes indeed. When 2 wolves and a sheep are voting on what is for supper, guess what is going to hit the grill. Is BOSS partnering with this non tox organization purely from the duty they feel to keep our game meat and duck ponds safe, or because they see $$$ to be made. A total...

Not sure I want to support a company supporting a total ban on lead. It’s just the first step.

I love my Crispi Guides that I bought for cheap as a 1 time worn used boot that didn’t fit the guy. I mostly only wear them when elk or muley hunting though. Have put a lot of miles on them. Russell touts their all leather triple vamped blah blah blah waterproof without a lining. I’ve got...

Opening weekend we were walking an uncut sunflower field. Had a chicken playing leap frog in front of me but couldn’t get a shot. Almost across the field dad hollers at me, look north and a flock is flying right at us from a grass patch. Dad knocked down one and my buddy hit another. Get to end...

I bought several flats of AA’s in 2005 for $5.50. I noticed they had jumped to $7.50 at Academy then and bought several more at Walmart before they raised their price , and they did. $5.50 in an inflation calculator is $8.65 $7.50 in an inflation calculator is $11.79 I noticed the other day...

Is that 450 in the last picture the date, signifying April of 1950? Engraving looks close to a 12 guage I have from 1965. Mine has extractors, not ejectors. My 12 on top (with another unmarked German 16 from 1919 below it)
