Looking at the first picture waiting for the flush that we didn't get to see ! Great! Be there Sat for 5 days. Can't wait.

Nice bird! I admire your presistance. Stick with it, may see you out there sometime.

+1. Gun should be of proper length to mount on shoulder instead of bicep. Good advice. Should never cause pain. I am 76 & heavy loads hunting never bother me. Shorter vs longer is always better.

Saw a 10 bird covey today. Birds were on the road & momma was herding them along, tiny little guys. Encouraging. Hope they make it. Eastern MO.

MO birdhunter here with Brittanies. Reports are good in some of my regular areas, but I have been holding off until regular deer season is over. (We are never over deer season here during bird season.) Travel out of state to SD & KS for pheasants. Used to do TX & OK until about 6 yrs ago when I...

Glad you got that fixed. I have had a problem from time to time but find if I do a continuous motion to move, mount & shoot the problem does not occur. If shooting clays or incoming waterfowl, doves etc., where the gun is mounted & riding the bird a ways the other eye takes over. I still...

Sorry to hear about the problems, but glad you are coming back from it. The older we get the more doctors, etc. we see & less hunting days it seems.

I have been enjoying listening to the whistling around my place this year, strange sound compared to the last 3-4 years. Have 8-10 pairs working within 1/2 mi. radius. At least two in the 20 acre hayfield next to me. Guess what? They are cutting hay today in this field. Been expecting it, but...

I have an aluminum box with with a foam board type insulation which works well. My "chewing dog" hasn't messed with it in 4 years now. Travel to several states hunting in cold, snow & ice. Chew proof pads in the bottom. One thing that helps is extra rations when it is cold, helps as much as a...

Go to the Double Gun bulletin board & you will get several recommendations.

I haven't priced any lately, but would think less altho some fitting would have to be done unless you know the dimensions you require. Fitting would be good in any event as a proper fitted gun is a joy to shoot. Most of the time we try to fit ourselves to the gun rather than the gun to us...

Have you thought about getting the stock bent? Should be several places not far from you to get this done.

I agree with old & new, no way do we have more quail than KS. Don't know who puts out that BS or what metrics they are using to measure each state. Deer & turkey hunting experts gathering quail stats?

Neat post & pics. Are you sure your pup was false pointing or had the birds been there & ran off? Looks like you had a great time. Keep it up!
