Re: J. P. Sauer

The trigger will never be a problem if you "load both barrels". Bill, yesterday I went woodcock hunting with “Foxnut” and his wonderful dog Rose. Thanks to your instruction, the Infallible trigger worked flawlessly. I missed every bird, but the trigger worked great. Leaves and doodles can...

Re: Almost done.

Helped the next generation yesterday. Young lady with her husband. They have a 12 month old Brit they wanted a couple birds shot over. Was a bit of a comedy of errors. They had 4 large launchers which were too large for the quail they had brought. 2 out of 3 Quail got out of the launchers and flew o...

Re: Almost done.

Tom, glad to hear that you’re heading back to Michigan. I’ve heard that there was a lot of damage to trees in the Gaylord area from last spring’s ice storm. Could be tough hiking. Good luck and keep us posted. We moved a bit further south based on that ice storm. Too many widow makers up where we p...

Re: Almost done.

Got this pic yesterday. Annie does this a lot. The hard point with the rear leg off the ground. Frozen in place. Pic her up on the 16th. Head for Michigan the following week.

Re: u.p.

That’s a pretty fancy recipe Tom. Normally, when I cook an entire duck, I put it in a pan and put it in the oven for 50-60 minutes depending on size. Then, make a little duck gravy and enjoy. I guess I’m a simple guy. I've seen you eat Jeff. You like the good stuff. PS. I've used this on Woodcock q...

Re: u.p.

Jeff, I have been told this recipe is excellent on diving ducks.

Mix a marinade w/this: Minced fresh ginger- about 3 quarter size piec...

Never acquired a taste for Ringnecks. All the one I shot ended up tasting like day old minnows. Love Mallards and Wood ducks.

Re: A BITTER SWEET ANNIVERSARY

I hunted behind Star many many years ago up in NH with Steve. Nice, well mannered dog and a superstar in the looks department. I was truly sad when Steve told me he had passed. For those looking for a nice breeder, this is where Steve's dogs came from. Also a lady guide who I know quite well has 2 o...
