Questions about parking at the Southern

How can one park inside the gate? Is there a pass you can buy? If not, is it possible to drop some things off at the Fox tent then go back to the road? Thanks for any advice.

Re: SF doubling on me

Double trigger. I thought about giving the action a good ultrasonic cleaning but also considered the chance of really messing something up taking it apart.

Re: Do You Remember Your First Time?

Ithaca 49 for me also. I got it Christmas 1968, and I still have it but the barrel is shot.

SF doubling on me

My SuperFox doubled on my first shot in the duck blind last week. :shock: I didn’t shoot it after that. Today I went to the clays course and put a target load in the right chamber and a snap cap in the left, and it doubled twice. I need a competent smith for this and was going to reach out to Gunthe...

B grade set: 2/3 of the way there

Here is the 20g B grade I bought from a member at the Southern. I had it pose with my 12g BE when I got back home. Thanks to Chris for a great transaction.

Re: Cocking a A Grade Philidelphia Fox Help

The cocking extensions of the hammers can be seen in the slot of the action flats. Take an appropriate size flat screwdriver, slip it under the extensions, and lever them up. It doesn’t take much force at all.

Re: Reelfoot Ducks

IMO, the worst hazard in Reelfoot are those dang jumping Asian carp. I barely avoided getting hit in the head by one as we sped along in a big outboard powered aluminum boat. Sure glad we don't have them in the waters here where we run our speedboats. Our guide caught one in midair while driving th...

Re: Reelfoot Ducks

We hunt with Ronnie and Kelly Capps who have been guiding for a long time in Reelfoot. There is a lot of info in the article for the Fall 21 Newletter about our annual duck hunts. I don't know what kind of boat that is, but any boat in Reelfoot has to have a shallow draft due to the numerous Cypress...

Reelfoot Ducks

Our 2nd trip right after New Years was more productive than our December Hunt. The lake had thawed and temps rose into the 50s with heavy rains overnight. We shot mostly mallards and GWT. There were a lot of pintails and gadwalls in the sky, but they never came in. Lucky for them! Frank https://live...

I'm happy to bring home any of those birds in the pic.
