    New a5 20 guage

    They get that benelli “click” thing sorted out ? All of them have the occasional issue. From my experience most semiauto problems are a cleaning and/or lubrication issue.

    I’m not familiar with the whole AI deal, don’t care to be, but I think if you asked it what would be the worst thing you could do to rangeland I think not grazing it would be close to the top, along with over grazing it. Two true stories. A slough 2 miles from me was privately owned by an old...

    Fiberoptic sight

    But I shoot left handed…. Shotguns always both eyes open. Unless you have dominance issues, then you’re on your own.

    So did our Texas friends make it up here ? Haven’t seen any Texas vehicles stuck in a ditch around here. This forecast might make them have second thoughts:

    Fiberoptic sight

    In theory the mid and end bead help you make sure you have a consistent mount, after that you aren’t supposed to peek at them. In reality they look cool, I’m convinced many of the doodads on high end trap shotguns are to break the grip on the wallet, not the target. Seems to me that any old...

    Fiberoptic sight

    I’ve always been told if you are seeing the sight you are looking in the wrong place.

    Walked around yesterday

    Well the mapping program said 2.1 miles all told. We talk about hunting in the snow and cattails, some on here may not be familiar. Other folks may have different experiences. Here are mine. The day got warmer, up to 38° so the snow settled some and now has a crust. There was probably 8” on...

    Elk

    Check what type of “ranch hunting” you will be doing. Some of those ranchers don’t like the elk eating their hay this time of year. The “hunter” hides in the hay feeder and shoots them in the face when them come to eat. Might not be that type of hunt maybe. Don’t shoot a Hereford, they don’t...

    Got the snow shoes out and made a circle through the home place. My old flip phone doesn’t take the best photos so my apologies.

    Advice needed-Hunting around Ruthven

    After thinking about my reply I need to stress that folks from warmer areas hunting cattails this time of year for the first time really need to be cautious. Stay on the outside of them, either on land or if there is open ice you should be good. Deer trails are generally safely frozen. Many...

    Advice needed-Hunting around Ruthven

    Yeah, no hard drifts now, maybe if the next system has some rain. About 18 inches of snow and most of that blew into the cover. The cattails will have birds but may/may not be frozen enough to walk in. This spot is on the south end of Lost Island. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barringer_Slough...

    A sign of getting old.

    That brings back a memory. Right out of high school I got a construction job, concrete worker. First day I got home, laid on the floor and got charley horses in both arms and both legs, fell asleep that way, woke up looking like a sprayed spider.

    One of the hardest things about discussing a topic a person is passionate about is when to say “*uck it” and move on to something else. I mean, it’s not like I have to sleep with these *SS holes or anything.

    Yes, I agree there are instances where the release of the CRP is called for, but like any program it gets abused by some. The “R” does stand for reserve.
