Bragging Board Thread

Hi all, my son Will and I went out today, it was a nice day, warm, low winds and sunny. The day started out slow, in fact I missed two, the first one, I fumbled with my safety and the 2nd flat out missed. Was able to collect myself and got a limit. Will managed two plus a Hun, the Hun was a long shot, dogs worked well and the company was great!

My birds, I was using my 12b H&H Royal:

That's a day for your hunting memory journal. Kids grow up waay too fast to rely on memory alone.

Nice day, nice young man, nice shotgun.

Thanks for the kind words! Will is my best partner as is my other son, Jim. Funny, I do keep a Hunting Journal, it's fun to look back and remember. I'm a lucky man!

Thanks again!

Hi all, went out after Church for a short while and it was my son Will's day. He got two and I only got off one shot, but he was faster on the draw, getting old I guess!

Anyway, Will was using his 16ga Sauer Royal:

Well, my boys aren't as young as Will, but this is their first hunting season. Opening weekend, each got one, one with some help. But, today the oldest went out with me, and he got two completely on his own. Forgot to take a picture with his second bird, but I am as proud of them as Greg is of Will. It took many years for them to make time to get their Hunter Safety cards, but they finally did it. Now, we will have hunting time together. Priceless!

Got my second longest tail ever December 8th. Beautiful bird flushed and retrieved by my 10 1/2 year old! No picture though, so I'm lying!
 
Hi all, only went out for a hour today in between Christmas activities. Managed one. Saw birds, but the only rooster in range.

I was using my 16ga Garbi Model 100

I'm a huge fan of SxS's as you can see. My sons are also SxS fans (wonder were they got the bug?).

I do hunt with everyone of them, even if it's just once a year. I do have to admit, I'm proud of my collection, I've been blessed!

Thanks again!

Pardon my crassness, but that looks like north of $200,000 in guns. Way north perhaps.
 
Hey all, went out today around the home place with my son Will. Boy did we see the birds...a ton of them, except....really wild. I was able to limit out, but poor Will didn't fair well at all. The dogs worked well and my pup Raina did very well, she's coming along nicely.

I used my 16ga Ugartechea Model 1030:

I'll throw up a bragging picture with a fellow UPH hunter from Ohio, Matt D. His dog Copper worked hard all day long, and we brought home 17 birds. A lot of great laughs, lasting memories, and a damn good time.
 
Hi all, well this will be my last post on this thread with pictures. Our upland season end this Sunday, but there is a bad system coming in that will dump 3" to 6" of snow, high winds and zero to below zero temps. I decided to go out with my old faithful girl Duchess who is now 13. I have a hunch this will be her last hunt, so I wanted to go out with her for one last hunt, just me and her. She did not disappoint. I was able to limit in 1hr 20min. Heck after the last bird, she pointed 2 more. I hope she can go next season, but she's slowing down, still has the fire, but the body is getting old. I want to thank the good Lord and St Hurbert for another safe and successful season!!! BTW, I was using my 12ga Siace 350G.

Best to all!

Greg
