I think a lot of the process depends on what kind of hammer gun you are using. My favorite is an LC Smith, choked full and rifle. On pheasants, lots of time between point and flush. Same on waterfowl FYI: I saw Joe go down in that CRP, but thought he was picking up a bird..The old geezer can shoot..

Sometimes we hunt with plain SxS shotguns. This one is a "standard field grade" 12 gauge Remington 1900 with 30" steel barrels. Bagged one rooster this morning near Carlyle, IL using a handload with #5 NICE shot. JERRY

Greg, you lead the life! Great pictures - thanks for sharing.
Is that private land you are hunting or public land?

Looking good Greg! You guys will be getting your own show before too long. We did well today to. Put on a few miles to do it. Best part of the day was when we got right in the middle of about 40 sharptails.

Greg you must have so many guns between you and your boys that you need a bank vault to hold them.  You must have so many pheasants in your freezer that tail feathers are sticking out the lid.  Keep showing your pics. Next time take a video camera.
Practice safe eating. Always use a condiment.

Hi Joel, but I do have bank safe. Our house is the old Rectory and the house has a walk in two door, totally fireproof bank safe. It was used to house the parish records. When we bought the house, they said we could convert it into a bathroom!!!
Thanks again, we do eat a lot of game.
All the best!
Greg
