The late Lord Rippon of Europe was in his prime in the days of the grand estate shoots. They shot driven pheasants and partridge similar to a European hunt today. All Lord Rippon used was straight cylender bore on all three of his hammered Purdy's. He would practice with his loaders when he was not in th...

I have much to report on my other excusions but as of this Saturday the WMA I hunt is now open to bowhunters[deer].

My guess is that I should put on some scent blocker and put up a l...

My dad has an old Remington 1100 that is pre-screw in chokes. He's got four or five barrels for it that are all normal choke names, except for "Modified Trap". Is this Improved Modified or is it something else? I guess I could just take a caliper and measure the bore width, right?

I wanted to ask about frocking decoys with real crow feathers. Does anyone know if there are any legal issues with doing this? I know that we can not use real owl feathers to frock a owl decoy.

I am just curious how often, how much and what kind of target shooting everyone does during the off season. For me it is 3000+ clay pigeons annually on a mix of sporting clays, modern skeet, skeet and trap.

I had the chance this past weekend to take my buddies son on his first bird hunt. Opening day was Saturday and Logan was dieing to go.

Here in Arkensaw any way it's Saturday for crows and doves. I'm seeing very few doves so far so I'm taking my crow dekes and MA21 with me. If the doves are slow, I'll try taking out a few bandits instead. Shayne

How big is your spread ? How many deks do you put out ? How many do you hand in the trees ? How many different decoys do you use ? Do you have a pattern that you use or do you just throw them out ? Do you use other animals in your spread ? What is the method to your madness ? Here is why I am asking. Here lately th...

Since it's 105 friggin degrees outside I thought it would be a good idea to review some of my old journals from past years. I see one shoot where in 2004 I shot 500 crows even that day. My notes said that I rolled the first 200 within one hour and 12 minutes. This was with a 20 gauge using a 7/8th ounce load of # 8...

Took my youngster out for a bit of Run and Gunning on crows. Birds are all flocked up now in preparation for migration.
