Auburn is living on borrowed time. Where the luck string snaps is anyone's guess. Two miracle plays in a row are stretching the luck factor. The Bama field goal return was arguably better team play, but a huge luck factor was involved. Those kind of wins even out as time goes by and the other team e...

I wouldn't want to get too attached to any of those goats. Can you imagine a goat sneezing up there?

Nice bag of the best tasting of ducks.
I had a woodduck for supper last night. Nothing better.
Is the new load steel, Hevi-shot, etc? Gil

My thoughts are probably illegal.

GA DNR has reported owl predation on roosting birds.

Kick's warns users not to use anything but lead in any of their chokes. They make a fine choke, however. Ported chokes strip wads from loads which is good with some loads; not so with other loads. Gil

You shouldn't drink that much wine. I am shocked. It could cause drain bamage. Gil

I was thinking sweet gum, but the trees in FL would still have most of their leaves....

Hilarious.

Well, since Jaybird is stirring the pot about southern food, let's see what he says about collards. i just got back from a locally owned grocery store and up pulled this truck with a load of collards from Tattnall County. Tattnall County is the home of great turkey chokes (Sumtoy), Vidalia onions an...

Tommy, a buddy who owns an upscale restaurant buys his stone ground grits from a small water powered mill in TN. He uses his made from scratch vegetable broth and cream when he slow cooks them. Georgia Ice Cream. My wife makes a great shrimp and grits meal. Gil

Y'all also choose to live where it is colder than necessary. Just one reason why we hold your opinion about what we eat in such high esteem..

I don't know where Primos chokes are made. However, there are box store chokes made in China from inferior steel. William of Sumtoy uses the best steel available. There are a lot of fine chokes out there, but I look no further than Sumtoy for my guns. He will get it done for your gun...

I guess I'm just old but IMO it is just foolishness to take a gun and do all that crap to it and when you are done it won't do anything different than the Remington right out of the factory box will do. Just to shoot a couple of shells a year. everything we do here can be considered to be "foo...

go with a crossbow with a EOTECH mounted silent killer and one shot or nothing. lighter to carry into the woods too. many reasons to stop spending money in the ammo and gun game.... Yildiz .410 single shot-$129 NIB; Burris Fast Fire III 40 yard gun with TSS9s One shot or nothing 3 lbs, 9 oz, as dep...

Here's my Super Bantam Mossy 20 gauge. I've retired it. I now shoot the single-shot 20 below it (now with a FFIII) and a single-shot .410.
The Mossy is a stone-cold turkey killer. Neither it nor I suffered 870 envy. Gil

Learning to "crow" without a call is a good skill to acquire. One less thing to carry, fumble around with or lose. Gil

Toasty, as long as it isn't a federal law, I think most of us in the South will be okay. Give me another 10-15 years and it won't make a difference to me. We have a wma that is a pretty fair snipe hunting area and lead is okay for snipe; dux, however, you know what must be used. Gil

I'd just as soon not have a lead smelting operation in my backyard. Could give me drain bamage. The Doe Run shut down is apparently old news. Hal's chart on lead mining explains why my Winchester 16 gauge game loads are made in Australia. I wonder what percentage of shot is made out of US mined lead...

I am curious to know whether or not the US imports more lead than it mines and smelts. In looking at the St. Louis Dispatch article, 145 employees at the plant will be laid off and 70+ contractors. How much lead could such a facility produce??? Doe Run made the decision to shut down in 2010. Another...

That little CZ, barks and bites pretty good. Nice hunt. Gil

Here's a good program, 7 minutes, that doesn't require equipment other than a chair and a wall.

I thought everyone knew that a turkey can't be killed with a .410.
