This topic has been discussed a few times in past years on various sites. Apparently no one can come up with an ad for a 250-round "case" dated before 1981, and that was only one mfgr. Doesn't really matter. At some point back there it seems every "case" had 500 rounds in it. Then it got...

Not always. Years ago cases had 20 boxes in them. You could buy a single box, or a case of 20. Mostly out of concern for the backs of people who had to handle them, some mfgrs started putting out 10-box "cases." Having some cases holding 20 and some 10, we began to call the smaller ones...

I just ordered a flat from Rogers Sporting Goods. Hated to pay $200 when just a few years ago they were $100, but they are $250 now a lot of places. At least I got free shipping, and if I can bag one bird per shell fired it won't hurt too much. :)

An alum alloy is fine unless you have an accident where lateral pressure is applied against the action of the closed gun. Then you see why nearly all of them are made out of steel. Steel can fail, too, but it is much less likely to.

Danners and Meindls for pheasant hunting by old guys? Do we need to check ID's here? Danner Pronghorns were the only boots I ever had that I praying they would hurry up and wear out.

It all depends on what you need. The Keens I pictured weigh 7 oz per boot less than the Safaris. At my age and the distances I typically walk while hunting, that is a huge difference. I will not hunt in mountains (rocks) w/o a pair of Kenetrek's, but their stiff sole is uncomfortable walking...

I have several pr of Kenetreks and have not seen a model that did not have the waterproof liner (which works very welll, BTW!). They are a great boot but weigh too much for me on most days. In rough country or in snow, I will prolly have Kenetreks on, but not on dry days on the prairie. Last...

Could you post a photo or two of the crack? It may be simple to repair yourself.

Totally depends on the terrain and temperature but if I'm hunting fez on the flatlands with no snow I want something like these Keens -- good traction (while still being VERY lightweight), great comfort (esp. in the bottom/sole), waterproof and not hot (so not tall), and did I mention...

I prolly wd shoot a small one if it went up alone, but if two or more go up and one is bigger, that is the one I will shoot, range and safety permitting. I can bring only 15 frozen roosters home so I'd rather bring 15 big ones. There can be a lot of difference in weight, though sometimes a big...

I was in the Platte/Parkston area a couple of weeks ago visiting relatives -- very green and lush. Should be a good year for birds!

I'm seeing 'em in my dreams now. :)

If you like pheasants never let a coyote walk (or run) away. :)

If the weather isn't decent I wait a day or two, as it usually improves. If I have to wait longer, that's okay. I can bring back only 15 roosters and 15 grouse anyway.

You gotta get your GF to walk along the other side of the fence, so they don't run out that side and take off low. :)

I fell twice this year, Once a hole got me, and once in cattails. I dropped a rooster right in the middle of the cattails. Dog raced all around in them but nothing, so I walked in try to find it. Feet got tangled, tripping me, and down I go. GF can't see me so is yelling "Are you alright?"...

What did the vet say?

"More drop" makes the gun shoot lower, so I would not recommend that. I routinely have to reduce drop to make my guns shoot where I look. What ruins most straight-away shots is trying to see the barrel's (or bead's) relationship to the bird. Best way to make yourself shoot under them there is.

I have been driving those section line roads for many years. They are essentially one lane. If you had your driver's side tires "just on the edge of the road," as you said, then you would be impeding a wide hay load. There is no "going around you" -- they have to keep the truck in the center...

He probably should have been more tactful but hay bales often extend way off the sides of the truck, and on typical rural roads a vehicle parked as yours is a real pain to someone hauling a wide hay load. Also this time of year we see big harvesting equipment being moved on those roads. If you...
