Sad how the high water is killing all those old flat top pines near the lakes...Geo

Mr. Newbern, most of the trees along that stretch were planted. About twenty years ago most of the area in the frame of that picture was planted. It's a gamble that the trees will mature before the water comes back. I have never seen it completely gone for more than 4-5 years so it is a gamble I would not take. I'm always looking for a different photo prop so that tree drowning worked out well for me.

Hi all, got out today for a short time prior to family activities today. Saw a few birds, roosters were wild, but Raina was able to pin one down. She also had some great points on hens (which of course held rather well!) Anyway, I used my 12ga Buhag "Hubertus" Merry Christmas to all! Greg

Greg, that pheasant and your gun really look great against the snow. Thermometer outside says 83 degrees here and the humidity is 100%; Bah!...Geo

On the other hand, we once had a white Christmas here. Every car in town had been wrecked at least once before the snow melted the next day...Geo

Hi George, thanks for the kind words! The temp here is 18, but very low winds and cloudy, to be honest a nice day hunting here.
Thanks again!
Greg

Hi all, went out with Will today, it was a cold one, around 3 above, but not much wind so it was not too bad. Anyway, only saw 2 birds today, 1 rooster which I got and 1 hen. Really odd, hunted thick stuff, wood lots and other cover, just like they up and disappeared. Just a matter of timing I guess as we saw plenty of tracks. Oh well, that's hunting! I used my 16ga Dickinson Best! Greg

Now, that look's like a great day in the field. A pair of nice old guns doing what they were built for. Would you mind giving out the loads you were using? I have a nice old "short 10" and am looking for suitable loads for it when hunting geese and ducks. Would you also happen to know the weights of those two?
