    Watch for Astro 430

    Update! After learning you have to carry the handheld with you for the watch to work, I scrapped it all. Charging, carrying and keeping track of 2 collars, 2 handhelds, and a watch is the epitome of complicated. Bought the Alpha 300 and to hell with the rest. Gonna try her out this week in...

    Watch for Astro 430

    Looking for watch to pair with Astro 430. Bought the Fenix 6 and…too pricey, too complicated. I don’t care if it even tells time, I just want to know dogs location. Anybody point me in a direction?

    Your favorite pheasant O/U

    I try and stay out of O/U discussions. I always picture a woman shooting clay pigeons in the Olympics. To me they are an abomination. Kinda like a guitar without the headstock. I just can’t do it.

    Tax Refund Purchase

    I thought this thread was going to be how to buy a gun and write it off taxes. This isn’t nearly as interesting.

    A thought on shooting technique

    Go shoot, and then shoot some more. No shortage of starlings. As a youngster I had carte blanche sans Robins and Cardinals. All else was fair game. My partner in crime’s grandfather had a reloading press set up on an office desk in the gun room. I think 5 was the most we reloaded a box of...

    Asking permission

    Farmer here. Always helps to look the part. I ask for permissions and get asked. If you show up in new clothes I assume you’re a greenhorn towny, and that doesn’t help your cause. Faded and frayed clothes mark a veteran of the field. Don’t look sloppy but don’t look like the Cabelas...

    Rate your past season

    I did have a day and a half of “what’s wrong with my gun” poor shooting. Kansas was a bust. Ohio was good to me. Found birds everywhere I’ve found them in the past. Shot my limit twice, which I don’t normally do because of low population. But these fields were loaded with birds. Got leads...

    The old saw around here goes-a pig behind every cow, a chicken behind every pig.

    The truth about Prairie Storm

    I generally shoot whatever is rolling around in the truck console. Some the ink has wore off! Keep yer powder dry and run em to me.

    Acceptable Loss Rate

    I shoot a bird, I don’t dare avert my eyes from the spot it went down and I run…run to the spot. Holdover from no dog days I reckon. Lots of time they’re there blinking eyes. Ring their necks and roll on.

    Vintage/older Over Unders

    Pop has a Marlin 90 in 16 gauge. Not a fan of O/U. However I have to admit this one comes up nice. We both are lefties.

    Best for last

    Hit 3 different fields. Reckon around 85 acres total. Seen 10-12 hens. 5 cocks. Pop missed a high passover and I missed a crossing bird. First bird I shot dropped over a creek. A coyote made a dash for it but copper coated 4’s changed his mind. Just peppered him at the distance. Saw a...
