I run chrome and it keeps showing an error. I had to use a different browser. This is a good site with a lot of good members. And a couple cranky ones too. I hope it can continue on and get fixed. If not, best of luck to everyone on here in the future. And remember, when in doubt, the big bore...

This is a big deal in Minnesota. The cattails here are usually very thick. You look for a game trail, walk the edge, or plow through. Obviously 100 acres of cattails you gotta really want it to bust through that and it's really not very efficient. A smaller patch then it's worth it. If you can...

Was there a Nick Faldo sighting?

I bought some hip waders that showed up this week. I'm not saying I'm gonna wear em', but I'm gonna pack em. Always spooky walking ice you don't know how deep it is beneath. I'm gonna err on the side of caution. In map study, it's pretty amazing how many of the sloughs have flowing ditches...

I'm glad it has the old logo, it's way better than the new one.

My focus is to keep the dog and me happy and have a safe hunt.

I found this info on another site. "ANY Auto 5 is a quality gun made back when things were built to last. The fit and finish are beyond pretty much any run of the mill auto made today. By the 50s, Browning had refined the Auto 5 with popular features not available on the older guns. In 1953...

Yeah those bank temp signs in small towns are a classic drive home memory.

Oh, and he also says big game hunters are rubes.

I already got a pheasant license plate. I think MN was one of the first states to get them. Tennessee I know had a smallmouth bass one really early too.

If you have an old browning from the 1950s with a full choke barrel, that is the gun to use this time of year.

Weekend before last. It was cold in the A.M. at -7 wind chill. We took it easy and hunted from noon till close(about 4:45). Hit 3 spots. The 1st one I missed a bird?. The 2nd one only wild flushes. Spot 3. Roosters spotted from the road on perimeter, standing under giant ragweed. No tire tracks...

There's a big part of it. A really big part. But not the only part. I've been to game farms a good bit. That's what we call them in MN, not lodges, resorts, outfitters, etc. I came into hunting as an adult, and can tell you my learning curve was massive. Skye never sniffed a pheasant till she...

I always hear people say these old classic brownings are the best. I'm gonna see if a grandpa at the gun club will let me shoot a round with theirs.

Look at this old box I found from a Belgian browning. It looks like your dog River.
