Wait, you think lying politicians originated with the last admin?

Steers for market? Did his hogs and meat chickens also eat primarily alfalfa?

Corn and soybeans? What’s that for?

Is everyone giving up beef, pork and chicken to save the river? I just threw some baby-backs on the smoker in protest.

Pardon me, your socialism is showing.

The trajectory is that someday you’ll need bureaucratic approval to let your dog outside to do his business.

I can testify to what the grouse is saying.

I recently sold my 204 Ruger APF AR-15. I bought it to be my coyote sniper rifle, but when it was -20 degrees at 2:00am during the January full moon it didn’t always want to cooperate. I was never satisfied with the groups I got either, usually 1.5-2MOA.

Instead, I bought a Savage Axis in .223 Rem with a Boyd’s stock that I found at a pawn Shop for a good price and a roll of the dice. Had my gunsmith chop the barrel to 16″ with 1/2×28 threads for my can and I was off and running.

I shoot MOA or better groups with 53 grain Superformance V-max Hornady factory loads. Many coyotes have died since, as well as one fox, which I regret shooting–they’re so rare these days.

That said, I love all the calibers mentioned–I wouldn’t hesitate to take any of them out after varmints.

We love wild turkey at our house. We bemoan the fact that the limit is one because we run out of the meat so fast.

My kids always want the breasts made into nuggets. We usually slow cook the legs and make tacos.

Cody, What was the water temp?

Grouse die fairly easily when hit with just about anything commercially available. Just remember that steel patterns a bit tighter than lead when choosing your choke.

Good fish!!!

I didn’t find any big ones myself, last night, but I did find a whole lot of the crud flowing downstream.

This sounded familiar. Then I realized I saw it on Trapperman, too. Sorry, nothing useful from me.

I think you will gain confidence in not having a safety after carrying for a while. Any decent holster that has a ridged trigger guard does not need an external safety.

I used to be nervous with striker fired guns, but over time I learned to trust that the gun is only going to shoot when I tell it to. A good fitting kydex holster is perfectly safe and when the gun comes out, it’s go-time.

Also, thanks to all of you sheepdogs who shoulder the responsibility of carrying.

I’ve never met a taco I didn’t like.

A trip like this one, in the Amazon, would do it for me.

Whether true or fiction, I really appreciate this story.

This is awesome!

@labdaddy1 Sounds like a great experience for both you and your dog! The tenders look great, too.

@ralphwiggum Fair enough. They do kind of have a face only their owner’s could love.

@suzuki You had one before they were cool!

Mid 1800’s. German Pudel (Poodle) and English Pointer.

Yep, he’s a Pudelpointer. I grew up hunting pheasants over Viszla’s, but wanted a dog that would enthusiastically retrieve waterfowl. The Pudelpointer breed has delivered on both fronts.

I was determined to get out today because my young pup needed one more chance to figure some things out. He delivered. He stuck his first incontrovertible point on a wild rooster, followed by a good retrieve (he dropped it at my feet instead of holding, otherwise it would have been perfect). It was a very satisfying finish.

That’s a handsome hunting partner @gerty

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas!

I was actually going to ask on the forum how many guys are killing roosters on their third shot (with any regularity). In 20 years, I can think of maybe 3 times the third shot bagged me a bird–and it was never the same bird I fired at with my first shot.

I carry an autoloader, so I get the privilege of missing three times.

It’s hard to imagine anyone who has walked up to a solid point on a wild rooster who wasn’t immediately converted to the religion of pointing dogs.
