Re: Somebody mention tube calls???
Barry, was it your brother or someone else who made the morel calls out of antler? I remember seeing the photo a couple of years ago or so. Neat call. Gil

Re: Tube Lovers
While on the topic of tubes, whatever happened to "barry"? Hope he is doing okay. He made and sold tubes made from Doan's pill bottles and could really run one. Gil

Re: One of the worst days ever.
It is amazing how much longer little dogs live than larger ones. 17 years is a big chunk of a man's life. I know two folks whose Jack Russells lived to be 19. It is unusual for a Jack to live that long because they usually have a high mortality rate for accidental death--like challenging a tractor p...

Re: Doves
Hal, nice photos especially your "retrievers". Our season begins on the 6th at noon. I sure wish we hunted in the a.m, however. It'll be a Dove Hunter Steam Roast for sure. Gil

Re: One of the worst days ever.
John, the best place to bury a dog is in your heart. We've all been where you are, and if we play our cards right, we'll do it again. I put down my old Aussie 3 years ago August and a day doesn't go by without thinking of him. The easiest decision was deciding I had to do it. The hardest part was li...

Re: Are these numbers good
Those are good numbers in the 10. Hard to burn up shells, but if that's just one shot, no telling what the next would do. Too bad Federal HW doesn't have #8 shot. A third more shot in each load with the 15 g/cc density #8 would be a tough hombre. Probably wouldn't be legal in all states, but that's ...

Re: Red drum action
Hal, here's an interesting study of age, sex and weight compiled by NC biologists in the area you probably fished. The oldest fish was 56 years old with lots of 40 year old fish. http://www.sefsc.noaa.gov/sedar/download/S18-RD46%20NC%20RD%20age,%20growth,%20mortality,%20reproductive%20biol.pdf?id=DO...

Re: Red drum action
I've read that these big reds are typically female and can be anywhere from 25-40 years old. I remember old photos from here in the Ga/SC low country when folks would stack them up like cord wood on the docks when they were legal to catch. They aren't fit to eat that big so it's probably a good thin...

Re: Looking at 28ga shotguns
Pete, I think you are going to love the gun. Did you go to Ohio to buy it or did you get it from a LGS?? The removable rib makes for some creative opportunities for mounting a red dot or rifle sights should you desire. Here's my first bird, a snipe, with mine a handful of years ago: http://www.hunt1...
Re: gun info
That's a good suggestion--if a gun dealer will do it. Gilhoobilly wrote:I have done this before!
Find the closest gun store to your seller.
Have seller take gun there, leave it with the ffL holder
Send the cashiers check to the FFL holder, then he can ship when your funds have been cleared.

Re: gun info
Unfortunately many Joes, even Honest Joes, selling guns online at gunbroker or on gun forums aren't merchants with the ability to accept CC's. To keep the seller on his toes so he doesn't pull the "I didn't get the MO" routine and sell to someone else or have a change of heart, I have sent...
Re: gun info
As bad as your experience has been with the USPS money order time issues, your chances of getting your money back are far better with the USPS MO than had you used a personal check.

If the price is too good to be true, beware. I would recommend payment via USPS money order. He doesn't want to screw around with postal inspectors for theft. I wouldn't send the money to a p.o. box.

Re: Could be a great or horrible day for Michigan Sportsman
Here in Georgia the move to allow hunting over deer feeders in certain counties was a political move. I heard a DNR employee on O'Neil Outdoors speaking on the radio about the move. He chose his words carefully, but it was clear it wasn't a scientific or biological need. I know some local fishing gu...

My wife and I were stunned when we heard the news. The Black Dog of depression is a terrible thing to be with. I recall reading his account of where he got his humor.

I have a 45 year-old image stuck in my head of a fishing buddy running across the water like Fred Flintsone on the West Fork of the Chattooga River. I swear he ran on top of the water for about 10 yards. He wasn't screaming Yabba-Dabba-Do, but he was screaming. He was taking a short cut along the st...

Yes, she is a handful. Abby is slowly beginning to accept her and tolerates a lot of nipping from Willa. She's not quite housebroken on peeing, but has adapted to the crate very well. The M37 is my favorite shotgun. I have more than a handful ranging from 28 gauge, several 20's and 16's. LAPD used t...
