Hi, my name is Curt and I'm addicted to pheasants

I've been lurking on the site for awhile and there seems to be alot of great folks here.
I grew up in and reside in Iowa, and have hunted upland game in NE, SD, and WY. Pheasants are my favorite game bird, but I really enjoy sharptail and sage grouse hunting out west. I spend a solid week in Wyoming every year hunting big game, sage grouse, and blue grouse. I hunt with an 11 year old Labrador and am working on another dog soon. I love sxs shotguns and hunt with a pair of Beretta 471s, and am known to run out a Model 12 on occasion. I load my own roll crimp shotshells for fun.
I've joined to share the passion with other like minded folks, and gather intel on future excursions and other states. Looking forward to the fun!
 
Welcome to UPH, Good, another reloader. Only trouble is you sound like a 12 ga. man and I am a small bore, 20 and 28. You speak of roll crimps. Boy those are pretty coming out of my PW presses.............Bob
 
Well I have a pair of sxs guns, 12 and 20, and have REALLY been bitten by the 20. I've been running an ounce of #7s that have been truly magic. I might try to use nothing but the 20 in 2011- but those sage grouse could be problematic...
 
Welcome to UPH BD!!!!!!!! You will fit in nicely with all of us nuts!!!:cheers:
 
Curt Shhhhhhhhh, Don't tell them about the magic in #7 shot. That stuff is deadly in a 20 ga. 1 ounce load and even more so in my 28 with 3/4 ounce load. Yes, I love it, do you push it with Longshot in your 20?........Bob
 
I'm afraid that a 12 step program will only get you across the ditch. I would suggest that you sign up for the full therapy of say.......a 12 WIHA program. Of course you may have to drop our early if you limit out early! However, you can take a friend that can't shoot well and finish the program with digital recorder in hand. Welcome to the site!!!
 
The first step is admitting the problem, then again I don't really want to do anything about it!
Yep Bob, Longshot is a friend of mine and that ounce at 1300 has been fun. I've been experimenting in the dark arts of the 3" 20 also but the jury is still out.
If you're a Kansan Troy I may be picking your brain soon...
 
As limited as my brain is you may have trouble finding it. But have at it I'm not to proud to share what I know.........Bob
