Re: Hunting for Woodcock
Thanks for the report, Roger. You may be drier than usual up there but it's not so down he'ah. We had 12.9" from Debby in August, 6" from Helene last month, and 5.5" last week from some unnamed system that came up from the Gulf. We've still got 200 acres of peanuts to harvest and it's...

Re: Slow waterfowl season
We've only had the short, early teal season so far, and didn't have any teal where I hunt. Awaiting the next season with hope.

Always love your hunting photos, Frank. The one of Vixen and the grouse is especially nice!

Re: The Island That Wasn't
Close calls. Glad your dog got out of there. I've got a weird sense of humor I guess but it reminded me of Charlie Daniels' song The Legend of Wooley Swamp. "But they hadn't gone nowhere when they realized They were running in quicksand And they struggled and screamed but they couldn't get away...

Re: William W. Headrick
Wish i had known him! Bobby Me too, Bobby. One story in particular stands out in my mind, about Pop Headrick shooting doves on a Missouri field with a big HE Fox. It prompted me to do the same a couple years ago in the late season here. http://forum.foxcollectors.com/viewtopic.php?t=10113 https://w...

Re: How do you warm up for bird season?
I don't usually go through a "warm up" before dove season, which is our first game bird season down here. I've shot them all my life, and shoot sporting clays when I can, so I just depend on muscle memory to take over on the bird field. Sometimes a clays club will have a Saturday 100 bird ...

Re: Clays with a LC Smith 10-gauge
Very nice condition, Frank. I wish we could get her together with Valerie, my Ithaca Super Ten on a clays course. That would be "big" fun!
Thanks for the pics.

Re: Guild guns
I usually don't care for the "Germanic style" of engraving or stock architecture, but that's one that doesn't fit the "mold" and is a very pretty and unique gun. I like it!

Re: Ridiculously heavy loads
I shot similar loads thru an 870 Wing Master in the sixties. We shot geese while lying in the mud in rubber waders and a rubber camo raincoat. I quit being that mad at anything a long time ago. I'm 72 and I'd still do that, but I'd need a very high level of confidence that the birds would show. Thi...
