I'm going through this right now myself. My 7 yr old is ready for his own shotgun. He is big and strong for just turning 7, 4'6" and 85 pounds, so I'm able to look at slightly bigger guns. I was originally going to get him a Rossi single shot 410 but after reading and talking to other fathers...
Just got back from Potter County PA, rural upstate, visiting inlaws. Without even trying we saw tons of turkey, deer and a few black bears. One day I'll go back with my rifle and do some hunting but my wife always plans the trip to the minute to be able to spend time with all her family and...
Last quail season I found a spot that has lots of quail and zero pressure on SoCal public land. So far this year it appears there are certainly more birds than last however I'm worried about over hunting it. Between last year and so far this year my old man and I have not seen a single other...
I hunted a friends property yesterday off the 138 close to the 5 frwy. Holy smokes the wind was crazy and we didn't see many birds but I managed to get a couple. Half the time yesterday it felt like the birds were smarter then my old man and I. They were hunkered down somewhere out of the...
A buddy just told me a funny story of chukar from a few years ago. He and his uncle drove up to the Johansberg area and had their rhino or mule UTV thing. He said they got out at first light and drove all over looking for the birds and didn't see a thing. After a few hours of this they found...
130 gr 270 win puts a big hole in a small animal. Found this guy out in the D12 area while I was poking around looking for deer. He stood there looking at me long enough to dig my rifle out of the truck, load it and get the job done. I was surprised by how long it stayed put.
It is a Belgium era Light 12 with a Japanese era Invector + barrel. I rarely shoot it as I prefer my SKB model 100 SxS which I'm way more comfortable with. One of the spots we shot needed steel so I didn't bring the SKB. I love that Browning but, IMO, it is heavy and I don't like lugging it...
I picked up a three pack of the MFK calls and can't get them to work for the life of me. The reeds are already completely discolored and loose/floppy. Not sure if I ruined them but all I've done is rinse them when new and tried practicing with them. I have better luck with my old circle...
Holy cow is dove hunting fun! For some reason I've always shy'd away from dove hunting because the mental picture of it wasn't appealing. Based on what friends described I envisioned mass quantities of people, alcohol, getting peppered with shot and not a lot of fun. For whatever reason I...
Someone joked about it being BS without pictures.
The past 5 days I've been in the desert riding dirtbikes with my sons. However my old man got out and put some miles in. He went to one of the spots I mentioned above. I told him to take his Iphone for a picture.
Guess the old lady won't be licking them dogs anytime soon. That's pretty bad.
My last pair of big 5 cheapos were awesome. Lasted a couple years and were comfy. This new pair are already in the trash.
I'd love to hear about bare foot quail hunting. Was it by design or did you leave the house...
