    Should I feel bad cutting a stock?

My semis I’ve either cut or swapped pads on. 14 3/16 seems to be about right for me. I’m 5-8 The gun I’m looking at is an alloy 61/2 lb 12 gauge. 14 1/2 lop...

    Does shot string matter?

    I experimented a little with the kent steel duplex loads this year. Just a couple of days and a hand full of birds before the shells ended up mixed together with other shells in my pocket. I shot the kent 2x4s. And a few 4x6s that no quail fell to, but one pheasant did in dramatic fashion. What...

    Boots

    Go hunt is having a sale on lots of high dollar boots at less 20 percent. It was enough to push me over the edge on a pair of kentrek hardscrabbles. Still way over my price range but come on man 90 bucks off that’s a bargain.😂

    Grandma brought some luck

    My grandad always called my moms mom grandma. Keeping with tradition I started calling my mom grandma. I try to hunt my birthday week or weekend most years. Before my mom and dad passed I’d try and get out and see something a little different each year. She and I share the same birthday...

    Honoring point with a flusher.

    Tips for training a flushing dog manners when working with a close working pointer when you don’t have a pointer to train with. In the past I’ve rarely hunted with pointing dogs so it has never been much of a problem. On the rare outing we did when another dog went on point I would just call...

    It is starting to feel like fall out there.

    Been gone a few days and came back to some really nice weather. A pair of 97s later in the week and then is supposed to cool down again. It won’t be too much longer.

    Did a bad thing

    Tired of worrying about it. With what I still have in the closet I should be good for three or four years on six’s and five or so on the others. I think I did all right? except for maybe the steel.
