Greg the weather was unbelievably warm here also on Sunday. But our pheasants have almost disappeared after three brutal winters and cold wet springs. Same with whitetails. I hunted the whole regular and muzzleloader seasons without seeing a deer in my unit! My friend hunts on a ranch north of McClusky and the party saw 26 does opening weekend and not a fawn with any of them and the three does they shot were dry.
Still a few sharptails hanging on though.

Most of the time we either filled out or close. Even the deer season has been good. Filled all but one tag (my wifes). Just lucky I guess. Take care and better luck to you!!! Greg

Let's keep this thread going....Geo 70 degrees in South Louisiana means the ducks aren't moving too much, but the snipe are on fire. There's no concept of a predictable trajectory, each one that launches has a completely unique flight pattern - and man are they fun (and tasty). Shown here, William Ford does a great job on this morning's walk......

HammerGuy, it's always nice to see an old gun in such nice condition with just some careful honest wear to highlight the story of it's use. Don't tell me if the gun has been redone, as I'd rather think of it like I said. Nice gun.

Nice looking gun and snipe. Snipe are a worthy quarry and you are right about being tasty. I did a snipe/quail/dove post-Thanksgiving meal and all agreed the snipe were the tastiest of the three. Cook'em rare to medium rare...

Daryl, Thanks for the kind words. I'm happy to tell ya, she's 99.7% original - a good ol' boy in Houston fixed a tiny splinter off the forearm during one of my darker days - and shoots like a dream. I've really been slow in researching 'er more, but the top rib is engraved "Spedial Pigeon Gun" and I'd really like to know what Ford meant by that.

Soaked in some milk then seasoned with a cajun blend, dredged in brown mustard and flour - then deep-fat fried. MMMMMMM - we sure need some more tomorrow....

Hi all, great post, and a nice bragging board to boot. Lots of great pics of classic guns, dogs and game. Here's my latest. Was out for 2 hours today and managed a double on grouse and 2 roosters. I was using my 12ga Victor Sarasqueta 12E. Weather was great! What a wonderful day to be alive. All the best! Greg
