    Looking for a new hunting vehicle

    Just hit 5 years with this Gen 3 Expy Ltd EL as my hunting and cross-country rig. Wouldn't buy a new ANYTHING if they were half price!

    Transporting birds for others

    Sounds like they better fly the birds home with them.

    Shooting style

    You can do okay shooting that way but it is not the best way, which is to do all your barrel-noticing and lead-measuring with your subconscious. Doing it consciously also leads to a lot of perceived "eye dominance problems." But it does take work to switch to subconscious "aiming," let's call...

    Prairie Grouse

    I was happy to pay for it but our vet in SD recommended against it. Guess I will continue to rely on cold weather to push them underground.

    Well, Goose, this youngster was snapped from a Suburban a couple of hours ago. He said to wish all "good morning." :)

    Grouse/Chicken and Snakes

    And the golfer in Spearfish a few years ago. The likelihood of running into one seems pretty low unless you are near a p-dog town but if a dog gets a good bite it is probably not going to make it unless you can get anti-venom quickly.

    Grouse/Chicken and Snakes

    My breeder lives near Rapid City and puts on a snake-avoidance clinic every year. I can give you his contact info if you want. However, I am not real worried about my dog attacking a rattler, I'm worried about him accidentally running over one while retrieving a bird or something. I basically...

    I have had very few shotguns I did not have to change to get their POI to match my POA.

    Soybean price helps habitat

    So you think we should ignore the gross trade imbalance, just let it go on? It is unfortunate that the people growing crops and raising livestock were some of the few "manufactures" in this country whose goods foreigners are willing to buy, because the tariff wars have definitely hurt them...

    Wet Crispi Boots

    I eliminated just about all hunting except birds on the prairie on nice, dry days. That helped immensely. ;)

    How many of you let birds go?

    If I recommend hiding over-limit birds under your seat in the future please rest assured it is just my flippant sense of humor at play, and not a serious suggestion for how to break the law. :)

    Goose, you are blowing your karma. ;)

    How many of you let birds go?

    Goose, for once I'm going to try to take your advice. I definitely need better karma. :)

    Small game knives

    No, he threw away the heart and liver, didn't wear nitrile gloves, didn't remove the kidneys and left sharp wingbones sticking out to puncture a baggie and vac-pack bag. Not that I'm picky or anything! ;) But yes, I have no use for a knife to clean birds, except for one little trick. I...

    Wet Crispi Boots

    Yes, wet pants will soak your socks and the water will wick and make the inside of the boots very wet. Also, the wet grass can ride up under even waterproof pants to soak the exposed sock. Most likely your gaiters would have prevented both problems.

    Knee Surgery Question

    I had a bad injury to a knee 3 years ago when I was 73, had to have open surgery to repair everything that was torn. Didn't get a replacement but had to go through the same rehab as the replacement guys. Took months to recover, and it wasn't until 2 years after that I could actually hunt like...
