    Once again...with the Ol' 97!

    Took till 1:00 p.m. for this ol' boy to come in, but once again the century old '97 does it's job @ 25 yards. Had two other Toms come in @ 9:00 a.m., but they hung up @ about 45 yards. Just a tad too far for the old gun with 2 3/4" pheasant loads. Figured since it was the first day, and I knew...

    Once again with the ol' 97!

    Another year, another Tom, taken with my dad's century old model 97. Folks go on and on about the need for new fangled chokes, optics and 3 1/2" shotshells that reach out to 70+ yards. I have found out over the last 4 years that none of that is necessary. 4 years, 4 shells and 4 birds. This...

    Finally got out....

    Haven't been down to the hunting land since Christmas. Too cold, too much snow and just not enough time. With the warm temps here lately in Wisconsin, the snow has dropped significantly. Being almost 50 yesterday, I figured I'd open up the driveway and check out the cabin and hopefully the...

    Not exactly what I was after......

    ....but sometimes you gotta take advantage of what the good Lord provides. Last weekend was the youth deer hunt here in Wisconsin. My grand-daughters said they wanted to go. I took the weekend off and went to the cabin to mentor one of them only to find out that only one wanted to go. So...

    The ol' '97, like the hammer of Thor!

    Once again I decided to take my dad's 100+ year old model 97 to the turkey woods. Second year in a row. Second shot in two years resulted in a second bird. I've been hunting turkeys since the early 80s with a variety of shotguns. Mossberg 500s, Remington 870s, both with full/extra full chokes...

    Odds are, you're too late.......

    I'm sitting here reading all these new threads about where to find components, suppliers raising prices and empty shelves. I just can't help but shake my head. Ain't trying to be a jerk, but if you didn't learn anything from the last coupla shortages, shame on you. If you are not desperate for...

    Turkey hunting with the model 1897

    When my dad returned home after his stint with the Marines in the South Pacific, one of the first things he did was buy a good shotgun. It was used and almost 30 years old when he bought it in 1945. It was his only firearm for a dozen years and he used it for upland game and deer. When I turned...

    It was a pretty good weekend of mixed bag. I was workin' 6 mature Toms in the corn field when the buck showed up..........

    A new season is upon us.......

    Like many here, with the excitement and anticipation of a new hunting season, I have been working the bird-dog, practicing with my crossbow daily and occasionally playing with my mouth calls for fall turkeys. Taking most of my hunting handguns to my private range this weekend and playing with...

    Souvenirs of Death

    Anyone else ever see this? Saw this last night @ 4:00 a.m. on T.V. on TCM network....was up account of being an insomniac. A 10 minute short news reel type film that used to be shown before major movies back in the 40s and 50s. Brought home the fact that guns have been portrayed as "evil" in...

    Powder Surprise

    Stopped at a small outta the way archery/gun shop in a small town about 50 miles from home. Old guy that owns it is semi-retired and is only open two days a week. Bought 8000 primers from him about a month or so ago, not because I needed them, but because he had them in stock at pre-frenzy...

    Nosler 240gr JHP #44842

    Anybody else having a problem with them? Have been using them for years with good success, but with the last box of 250 I have found the cannelure to be all over the place and sometimes non-existent. At first I thought it was a fluke and just tossed the first few, but last night after sitting...

    My new hunting companion.......

    This is Wilbur. She's a eight week old GWP. Had her for almost a week now and she's adjusting to life in our family well. I know she's a bit young for this year, but hopefully by the end of the season, I'll have an opportunity to shoot a few birds over her. Since the youngest boy is now in...
