This was my solution. Thanks. Deleted my bookmark in Safari. Navigated back here through a Google search, rebookmarked the page. All is right with the world again. And good weekend.

Screwed up and didn't get the other pic to post this morning, its a 1939 manufactured 37. 28" modified choke. In 2 days I hope to be shooting brids with it in South Dakota. Then bought a couple boxes of bismuth to take it to Texas for ducks over Christmas.

My newest 16, with shipping and transfer I was at $500. And it’s sweet. 6#1oz. Headed to SD in a few days with it.

I have a TriStar Viper G2 Bronze in 20 guage. Shot it a lot. Lifetime warranty from Buds. I’ve almost bought a 28 multiple times, just too many other shiny distractions. At $600 a few years ago I felt it was a deal. At close to $900 today, maybe not so much. But then, an A400 or SBE3 is...

My intern at work shoots a 28 gauge SxS. (I taught him well.). He buys Golden Pheasants by the case, and I’ve seen him kill a pile of roosters stone dead with it. My brother in law was commenting last week about some of the shots he watched him successfully make with the pea shooter. Yesterday...

Speaking from a lifetime of heel issues—- Duct tape on the heels, works as a prevention if you’re prone to blisters, but works better than a bandaid if you’re already blistered. Just rip off a 4”??? chunk of it. Center it on heel where blister is/will be, then put on your sock. Now the tape rubs...

I also like the Scheels Endeavor pants, but their size offerings/availability have been limited for 2 years, slow boat from China must need replinished or something. https://www.scheels.com/p/47500002718?queryID=11c3f0e3feb4d4f50f7f9a15c838a092

In reference to the 550+, I'm assuming you're talking about linking it to the Explore app or on your computer after the fact? I quit using mine through my phone because the tracks of two dogs just got too cluttered up, running them at home daily just led to a globbed up mess and not easy to...

11/7 for me. I only hunted Kansas at the time. That year it was the first a Saturday of November, so the season didn’t open until the following weekend. No big deal, we hunted second weekend, populations were high, limits on public ground. Well, populations in the tank now, we hunted second...

I bought a used Rizzini Aurum Light for well under your budget. At 5.5 lbs it’s a joy to carry chasing roosters. Maybe too light.

All I know is when they say “I don’t F’n care where you go on our anniversary this year” that she doesn’t really mean that. But man, we killed a lot of birds 4 years in a row that weekend.

My buddy calls us hunting with GPS - livescopers. As in “I’ll never hunt my dogs with live scope”. Makes for some interesting dinner conversations. Myself, I doubt I ever hunt without live scope again since buying it.

I’m not sure if it’s illegal, or just a strong recommendation, but an upland gun is supposed to be stocked in walnut. The getting beat up are just stories to tell when you can’t take it out any longer. That said, I have a synthetic A300 and bought my boy a synthetic Franchi Affinity 3 (used)...

Somewhere on here was a post about a guys 90 something year old neighbor that had his bird dog recently die. When asked if he was getting another one “nah, it just hurts too much when they pass and I don’t think I could handle losing another one”.

I TRY to only shoot somewhat close range birds. If one has some shot in it, by myself, or my party, I’ll shoot at longer ranges than I like to try and finish it. Drives me nuts when some in our party start shooting at those super long ranges birds. They rarely drop one, and then it’s usually got...
