F&F,
That Gr 2 is a beauty---"free quail" engraving ! 16 or 20? I have it's twin in 20--two barrel set.

I always enjoy hunting with landowners. This one enjoyed the efforts of my Shelby on his river bottom farm.



Saw these running out of an old school yard on the way home.



Note the dandalions in the school yard. After a week of rain and light snow three days of mild temps (67 degrees today) the weeds are back again. My front yard is full of the little white lollypops and I sprayed Range star last month.

The woodcock are moving through my southcentral Pa coverts and Emma and I are having a wonderful time.

Hi all, hey dollysrod, great pic! What's the make of your hammergun?

Well, Will and I went out today for a later season duck hunt, both of us limited out in about an hour and a half. We were hunting about 50 miles east of Bismarck and there was plenty of snow on the ground (as well as flying!!!) No snow by us (yet!!!). Forgot the camera, otherwise I'd have some real nice pics of our snow covered blinds, oh well! Lots of birds around where we hunted today. It was a great time and lots of fun hunting in the snow.

Here we are, I was using my Bernadelli hammergun and Will his Fabarm.

Best!

Well done Greg but I think you should have come here. Pheasants are still thick. Counted 17 roosters in my front yard. Plus, this morning I put two boneless pork loins stuffed with Italian sausage in the BBQ cooker. I cooked them low and slow over an apple wood fire. MMM-MMM were they good.

Hey Greg

She's a Belgium guild gun 16 ga. (of course ) built sometime in the 1880's. She came from Mark Larson. I've been bitten by the hammergun bug pretty hard and now have a Bayard, 3 underlever Huskys and 2 toplever Huskys all in 16 ga. . Hammers back!!!

Rick

Thanks Rick!!! Mark did the stock enhancement on the Bernadelli I used. He's done other work for me also....great job everytime. I know the feeling about hammerguns....I have 6 also.

Hey Joel, would have beeen great fun as always. But we had to get in that one last duck hunt before the freeze up that's coming soon!!! Never had much luck with field shooting ducks and next week is deer opener as you well know!!!

Thansk again all!!!!

Greg

Just trying to push the right buttons Greg but you're so dedicated to a last duck hunt even the temptation of BBQ has no effect. I'll have to try a different angle. Instead of deer hunting I'm going pheasant hunting weather permitting. I hear we're in for a blow next weekend.

Way to go Greg! Going duck hunting tomorrow (using my Baker or the new LC Smith I bought) with Christina in probably the same area you went. Was out after pheasants with no luck today. Saw a few but they either flushed wild or blew out the oposite side of the brush. Still had fun though as my young pointer worked real well today. We did see a bunch of sharptail in several places but they are spooky now and will not hold. Good to see we at least have them now that the pheasant numbers around me are so far down.

The easiest, quickest way to be rid of dandelions is to form an intent to eat them. Their leaves make an excellent bitter green either to include in a salad or serve wilted as a side dish. (My personal favorite way is with Pennsylvania Dutch-style hot bacon dressing. YMMV.)

In any event, shortly after the minute you decide you're going to eat them, they'll disappear. If they're slow, go out and cut a couple and the others will get the message.

Works every time.
