    STORING SHOT SHELLS

    I think everyone has pointed the direction that I need to move towards. I was hoping to get the shells out of the house by using ”vapor tight” containers. I will organize something within the climate controlled area to get them a little more out of the way. I really appreciate everyone...

    STORING SHOT SHELLS

    Munster, what you bring up may prove my idea undesirable. If I were to store these in a room that was not climate controlled, the summer temps would rise- which may raise humidity even if the tote was sealed. BTW, my basement was (yesterday) between 60-65%.

    STORING SHOT SHELLS

    It could but I would need 3 or 4. I have been lucky enough to find a number of estate sales and country hardware store closings where I have bought hunting loads. The only new loads I have bought have been flats of 12 and 16 gauge non-toxic loads. I imagine that I will have to buy any loads...

    STORING SHOT SHELLS

    I have been thinking (proving that I should stop...) but has anyone found or had success with any kind of tote where shot shells could be stored in a room that is not climate controlled? I bought a "weatherproof" plastic tote that had 6 clamp closures- 2 on each long side and 1 on each short...

    Question

    I am not currently training any young dogs. I will occasionally trap pigeons to work the dogs and I have a new source for quail that a young man has started. I will buy some of those to work the dogs and in hopes the young man can (hopefully) realize a break even point on raising the birds...

    Crate temperature monitor.

    Sshh.... I have been trying to "lie low" I have started paying the dog fee to bring my dogs in at nights quite often. They work so hard during the day it is hard for me to look them in the eye. Truly, during last falls trip, they did not want to get out of the kennel 2 of the nights so I...

    Crate temperature monitor.

    It pairs very quickly with an iPhone. As with anything, range will very but block walls and plaster walls will limit range. I can have mine in a vehicle and usually still read the data in the room although sometimes I have to be near a window (block walls and distance limitations). I suppose...

    Crate temperature monitor.

    Can't go wrong with either listed. I use the Sensorpush for the dogs and in my gun safe (humidity). The only drawback is the Sensorpush is a little pricey...

    No quail. Limited grouse. I find enough to really keep my dogs happy but do not shoot many. Take a lot of pictures...

    The most Beautiful Bird Hunting Boot ever

    Dating your boots.... Strange that I have never thought of that. I date light bulbs, heat/air filters, etc. Boots? Not yet.....:giggle:

    Which Benelli Ultralight?

    After my father passed, I received his 11-87 (circa early 1990s). It weighs 8.2 lbs- unloaded. It has become my wet weather pheasant weapon. And I pray for dry weather every day I hunt pheasant.....

    Browning Dura Touch Recall Repair

    Thank you. It has a brand new look. The only down side is it is not as tactile- but it is not coming off on my hands either!!

    Browning Dura Touch Recall Repair

    Received the Maxus back yesterday evening. The repairs look good. So, shipped out December 27, 2023 - a total of 68 days. I am curious. What process is used to make those repairs? Is it a dip of some kind or a wrap?

    Why I love labs

    My second setter was a big Ryman/Hemlock cross. He was the best retrieving setter I have ever enjoyed. I was resting him in the vehicle when my father and I came upon a large Canadian that had been wounded by hunter sharing the land permission by hunting a couple of pot hole ponds. My dad and...

    Let's Bitch (Can't Hunt)

    There might be a chance I could get her within driving distance of NW Arkansas. She has a brother and his family in that area. That is not really "West" in relation to this thread but I am really wearing myself out hunting these East TN mountains. Somewhere within a couple of hours of NW...

    Let's Bitch (Can't Hunt)

    I envy you guys that can harvest moose, salmon and other type of fowl. Here in East Tennessee there is not the kind of game variety of other regions. I don't hunt deer and even if I did, I think I would be a little concerned about CWD. I am approaching the age of retirement so maybe I should...

    Let's Bitch (Can't Hunt)

    AK, now you are my hero. I love beef (do not eat it a lot) but could easily move to your diet. My downfall is the occasional microwave meal of some kind and ice cream. Congratulations on good numbers and what seems to be the genetic lottery!

    Let's Bitch (Can't Hunt)

    The funny thing is that I moved to TN from northern IN 40 years ago. I just never got away from milk and water. Most of my family is not shy about having a little "nip" now and then and everyone drinks coffee. I may try the Mocha Frapacinno....
