I’ve got the TriStar stamped version. I’ve killed a pile of doves and used it for a day in South Dakota last year. I like it enough I’ll likely buy a 28 gauge to play with. If it were my only shotgun, would I have bought it? Probably not. I bought it as a curiosity to go with all my others. I...

5’s through modified choke are 95% of my shooting. Keeps it simple.

After the second year in a row of me going pheasant hunting with a contractor buddy of mine from work on my wedding anniversary (Kansas one year, SD the next), wife said "I don't f'ing care where you go next year on our anniversary". Turns out, that was a lie, because evidently she didn't want...

I've got a Kansas bull story myself. Brother in law and I shared a herd of cows and were leasing my grandpas pasture. Pasture had a rock quarry in part of it, 40 foot side walls on 3 sides of it with a good fishing hole in the bottom. We had just bought a brand new $$$$ Beefmaster bull...

I’m same as Remy. I’ve never been more than a mile from the truck on pheasants, usually never more than a half mile. No need to carry water. Someday I’ll hunt Montana or the mountains for grouse and chukar. Someday…. I did dove hunt last year with a cheap backpack. Carried my shells, water (95...

No, have a used Ugartechea 20 that should arrive at my FFL on Thursday and later this fall plan on ordering a Rizzini BR110. Loved (past tense) CZ rifles, have a few in the safe. You should have them bring back a 550’ish rifle, but put it on a diet like a Kimber 84 and stick it in a nice chunk...

Me either. I’ve built 2. One with a White Oak upper that shoots itty bitty groups. I always reach for a bolt gun though. Not sure how to explain the 10+ stripped lowers I have on the shelf. But a bargain is a bargain… It’s scientifically proven birds prefer being shot with nicely figured...

I simply like guns. Finally had to get a second safe. Rifles in one. Shotguns in another. Both are over full with extras in corners and other rooms. Need to buy 2 more safes. I try to do the 1+ gun a year game. Sometimes I win. Sometimes I lose. Sometimes I really really win.

This mornings map.

New map released on Thursday mornings. This past weeks map for posterity.

My wife never told me she had a sister, but it sure sounds like she does. I'm in the same boat, the money is not the issue to going on an out of state hunt. It is purely about the available time to get away.

Man, now I really want to get a 20 ordered. Double triggers. 30”. Extractors. Taratuga Gold level finishes. Think my wife would notice the deposit missing from the checking account? Share pics and thoughts after you get yours.

I just hate the look of that skip line basketweave laser cut abomination. I could live with it, but for a few hundred you can have somebody do a traditional cut checkering to fix it up right proper like.

Several other forums have reviews on them and all are pretty positive. I hate the checkering, but that can be fixed with some of the wife's money...

You sound like my wife :) 6.5 Swede .22 Hornet

Not shotguns, but I hunt with a pair of single shot Winchester 1885 rifles for coyotes and big game.

And for giggles, 2006 Arkansas was around 20k birds, last year was 8k. So for the 3 states I’m close to we are seeing half the harvest we had 15 years earlier. Population has dropped like a rock.

For deer/elk/antelope roasts (I never cut a steak until I'm ready to cook), it is plastic wrap and then freezer paper. Burger goes in the premade burger bags with the tape dispensor you press them in. Fish and pheasant parts typically go in ziplock bags and water to displace the air. Jerky...

Not disagreeing at all, because your hypothesis coukd very well be one of the 1000 cuts decimating the turkey population. But….Missouri doesn’t allow baiting of deer/turkey. Arkansas generally is same way (except deer in special circumstances). Numbers still aren’t what they were 15-20 years ago.
