My wife and I cut up a half of my turkey breast into nuggets. Soaked over night in buttermilk. Then breaded in flour cajun season and black pepper tonight. Absolutely amazing. Even have plenty for tomorrow lunch.

Tips on golf. Browning Citori O/U, 1 1/4 oz #6's going 1330 fps will send the ball a ways down the fairway. Don't worry about the divot, there won't be enough laying on the grass to put back. For putting, drop down to 1 1/8 oz #8's or 9's at 1150 fps. For a short putt, you can reload down to 3/4 oz @ 1150 fps. Even if his guy doesn't know much about golf. He sure does know a good shotgun. Lol

What a great quick hunt this evening. I am just not much for evening setting for turkey hunting. But tonight was one of those hunts that just worked out. I started to one spot to scout for the morning. The farmer was working the field. So I went by my farm and there was a lone gobbler in the field headed east. So I went around and parked. Quickly threw my stuff on and went across the road on my neighbor's. There is a draw that comes out to a point from my place. So I made my way around to the end of draw. To my right about 150 yards or so is another woods where they like to roost. So this might work. I am between him and the bedroom. So I am set up. Let out a series of hen yelps. Bam he answered. I cut him off with a loud series of yelps and he hammered back. Now it's time for the silent treatment. He gobbled ever couple minutes. For probably 15 or 20 times. And he is coming. I set up so he would pass from left to right. He crosses the road and into field and just stays there. He isn't about to move the last 100 yards. So I am watching him when I looked to my right and there is two longbeards at 45 yards headed his way. When the back bird. Which was closer pass into a opening I took the shot. Very thankful for this bird. My experience with evening hunts don't work. But this one did. 23 pounds. 10 in beard. 1 inch and 1 inch and a 1/4 spurs.

You know what I say? There is only two kinds of firearms. Browning and others. Lol I would definitely lube it up well. Also make sure if you will be using it in cold weather like duck hunting. That the oil is designed for that kinda use.

I got my lifetime license in 1998,$525. My ONLY complaint is not buying hunting and fishing and trapping. That's my fault though, it's easily paid for itself many times over. Bought my license in 94. Best investment that I have made.

The two GSP that I have now are natural hunters and pointers. All I am doing is teaching them to hunt with in the range that I want. Controlling some of there drive. This has always been what I have done. Dad and I done the same when we had GSP before. Some might not agree with me. But I truly believe there borned with it. As a "trainer" you polish there nature abilities. If they don't have that nature abilities you will never train it into the.

Well my Son, Daughter in law and I headed to Illinois this morning to do a little hunt. Sadly a week from tomorrow its all over with till fall. Had a fun little hunt today. Decide for the first time to see what they would do together. Will say I am proud of these two dogs. Think they will end up making a good team. My male was on his game today. And the 7 month old pup did very well. She pointed 3 birds on her own. She even backed my male dog on all his points. Only think we will work on is him honoring her points. He refused to honor her today. Went on hunting his own bird. He was perfectly find with her honoring his point. But hey. Both less that 16 months old. Doing well for what I want. We will keep polishing them. Oh and by the way. I am having a blast.

Will they retrieve from water too? GSP are used for some waterfowl. But I don't know of anyone personally that uses them. These two have strong pointing desire. Weak retriever desire. But they are both young and we will be working on that this summer.

Let’s see a pic of the New family and share their names…Thanks! I would gladly post some pictures but I'm not computer savvy and don't know how. The male registered name is. I'm your Huckleberry Finn. Goes by Finn. He is a rare black roan patched. The female registered name is Rock Solid Bonnie. Goes by Bonnie. She is a traditional liver roan patched. I have been out of the bird dogs for several years. Dad and I use to have them. I will truly say I have been having a blast with these dogs. I honestly think if I lived in big pheasant states like the Dakotas. I probably wouldn't hunt anything else other than upland.

If anyone knows of a litter of German Shorthair Pointer pups for sale out of hunting stock. Please p.m. me or post here. Thanks Have you gotten a GSP puppy yet? Well kinda. Ended up with a lightly started 15 month old around Christmas. Hunted a couple times on birds around the house before season went out and he did pretty good. Started taking him to a preserve in Illinois and shot some birds over him. Man did that light his fire. Then my son was getting hooked on it. So he was offered a 6 month old pup with papers for free. She was to much of a "hand full". Well she is a hand full. After two days of being nuts around his Lab. She needed a home. Well let's call good ol Dad. So I have since took her in now as well. Well after a fee days of messing with her decided to see what see would do on a wing. She instantly locked up on a wing. We did this for a couple days. Then yesterday I decided to haul her to Illinois. Wanted to see what she would do by herself. She pointed 4 quail and we shot 3 over her. Long story short. I now have 2 and think there on there way to being a good pair.

The fine for the glove is a little over the top. It was in no way a performance advantage. It was done in my eyes to work a a air deflector to help him get some air under yellow. They could have said we are taking the glove for a unapproved safety item and left off the fines. I have race my entire life. Still racing sprint cars. And this is a little over the top. The glove was used as a aero advantage to block air from coming in car when qualify .….. The webbing was not SFI-approved after modification. As I said. Take the glove because of unapproved safety equipment. A aero advantage? Lol. Please. NASCAR looking for a cash fine.

I'll have to look at Cabelas to see if the same model is there now. It is wide and long, I also bought the pad that goes on it. For tent camping, get a couple of 2x4's or 2x6's and set the cot up. Place the wood under the legs and mark. Use a Forster bit and drill 1/2 way through the wood. Round the bottom corners and that way the cot legs won't be trying to poke through the bottom of the tent. Mine is VERY comfortable. I've used it for 12 days in a row elk hunting, and have used it numerous times other than that. It's comfy enough to be used as an extra bed for 1 person. This is the closest that they have now to the one that I have. www.cabelas.com/shop/en/cabelas-big-outdoorsman-cot-with-lever-armI don't see the pad that I have, but one that fits the cot makes it more comfy. I also have the "night stand" thingy that hangs on the side of the cot. I have the same thing in the Bass Pro model. And also do exactly as you said about a piece of wood under it. Even take a couple half lengths to level if need be.

NASCAR is rapidly becoming a joke. What's the problem your seeing? The fine for the glove is a little over the top. It was in no way a performance advantage.

What actions can be taken when you have neighbors that will not contain there cattle. I have sent them numerous trail camera pictures where they are running free on my property. They will not return calls or reply. They are absolutely destroying my woods. I have been very neighborly. But this is getting ridiculous and I am running out of patience.
