A Crows Ear
(Preview)
Gentleman, I have hunted crows with quite a few folks and sometimes show them the size of a crows ear. Seems nobody realizes how large a crow's ear is. I am sure some of you have checked it out before but I thought it may be interesting to some of those who had no idea.... I plucked away the feathers surrou...

Choke tube brands?
(Preview)
Anyone have a favorite brand of aftermarket tubes? I shoot a M-1 Benelli if that helps. I am looking for a good full choke at least but would not be opposed to buying a set if a good one is offered. Do you like the extention type that are ported?

Spent a lot of time shooting this weekend.

My family and I spent the weekend at our old home place this weekend. My uncle went down and cut the grass Friday and it was to windy to do any control burning so all that was left to do was shoot stuff! I spent all of Saturday shooting clays and patterning. My kids got to shoot all they wanted also. The kids ar...

An inverse square law, and shotgun patterns
(Preview)
In physics, an inverse-square law is any physical law stating that some physical quantity is inversely proportional to the square of the distance from the source of that physical quantity. Sounds like a mouthful don't it! This law, fortunately not made by morons in Washington, D.C. is actually eas...

Hand calling on the off season
(Preview)
So New Jersey's eason is done and doesn't reopen until August. I have a notion to go to the WMA's a few times and set up some decoys and practice calling them in. Any downside to this, such as accidentally educating my eventual pray that I set up dummies that waste their precious crow time?

Awesome day !!!

It's been awhile since I visited or posted. Been busy on a sheep farm that wants the coyote population reduced. Wiley things won't give me a clean shot. Seen a pure black one twice. It was huge. The tracks in the snow match those of my friends lab that weights 88 lbs. Paw print as big and as deep in the snow. ....

I just got a Mincey call from Crowmart and am having problems with it locking up on me. I would like to talk to Jack to see if I am doing anything wrong with it. I cant put my teeth anywhere past the tip (and I mean tip,not even to the cut out groove) or the thing locks up more. I like the call but need to figure out...

Shot my first sporting clays today
(Preview)
I went out to our local WMA today and shot my first round of sporting clays. It is a really nice facility. They had golf cart to use or you could use their bag carts. There were 12 stations with some easy and some not so much. There was one crossing shot that was a ways out there. I don't think I ever touched one...

65 yard pattern test - 6 vs. 7.5
(

Well we were curious too. Remember the old adage more is always better? Seems to not always work that way with shotguns. Which shot size runs out of pattern density as range extends 6's or 7.5's? Logic would say the load with far fewer pellets, testing proved something different. The following t...
