Remington 1100 Rem Choke pattern test

The Imp Cyl choke tube produced a pattern of 113 out 218 pellets at 40 yards for 51.8% with the pattern being a littl...

New pop up BALE HIDE bought
(Preview)
I just bought a new pop up hide. Surprisingly ots russian made (probably made in China, but all advertisements and packing were in Russian) havent tried it yet, but if it performs as well as I think it will, it's going to be ideal amongst the barley, wheat, and oat straw bales :)

The stealth fly, maggots on your shot birds very quickly
(Preview)
Have you ever wondered why some birds suddenly are full of maggots on a hot day, and yet you pick them directly upon them hitting the ground, and covered them up, although not many flies were about ? Well, I found the answer the other day (see, even at my age I learn something new every day). Every livin...

A good day today
(Preview)
Today started with change of plans on where to hunt. Distant thunderstorms were lighting up the sky in two directions but no thunder could be heard as we walked out to the field. Armed with our usual 120 year old 10ga doubles we put out a dozen or so decoys and turned on two callers. Action was steady...

A Quick Hunt
(Preview)
I went out on a quick hunt this AM with my daughter. She was quite excited, she loves to be the retriever. We did not stay out long, only for the first 2 hours of day light. We packed up with 12 birds in the bag at 8:30am. I think we would have done better but there was a run-n-gunner out harassing the birds...

Summer Grain Field

Got a call from a farmer this week that the crows have been all over his freshly cut grain field. I wasn't able to get out first thing and only showed at the field around 10 am but still managed to drop 16 for the day. It was blazing hot out so I pulled the plug pretty early. I can't wait for fall! Lol [URL=ht...

Blueberries and lead/steel pellets don't mix?

On another matter--the owner of the original field on which I was going to set up called up Sunday (31 July) to ask me not to hunt on it (or any other fields during the harvest) because of the possibility of a pellet on its downward trajectory intersecting with a berry and somehow lodging itself within. A...

Looking for someone to kill crow population

I'm a vegetable farmer in old fort, nc. Moved onto a new piece of farmland with a crow population of a hundred of so. Looking for someone to hire to kill them all. Right now they are destroying my melons. I've shot one and hung it up in melons but not deterring them. Need help.

Nostalgia trip; Popowski and more

I was looking for a part on the Web this a.m., when I ran across this 1959 GUNS magazine issue. An article (p. 16) written by Bert Popowski caught my eye. No crow shooting, but a wingshooting with dogs article. This entire issue brought back lots of memories as I felt taken back to the time I was 11 and just b...
