I go for the younger ladies. They are hard to capture and release.
I can capture, but they won't leave!

Guess it's the Hot-Pink Duct-Tape Shorts! Skip...skip..skip.

One of the most amazing things I've seen was a father/daughter Olympic shooting team in my home town. My dad took me to watch them practice. They had matching custom .22s for practice. They looked like museum pieces. I have no idea of make and model, but beautiful guns.

For practice they would bring rolls of dimes and take turns throwing the dimes into the air for each other at 10,25 & 50 yards. They would throw multiple coins at close range and singles at a distance. At 10 & 25 yards, they would shoot from the hip and still knock 2-3 or even 4 out in a go. For longer distance they used sights, no scope and still hit the target. True talent.

Thanks Kes! Not a country fan, but the song hits a spot. I have my Pawpaw's 12ga in the closet. One of my favorite pastimes as a little tike was to go down to the VFW with Daddy on Friday nights and watch Pawpaw win all the turkeys and most of the money. Really enjoyed the song.

(Even though I'm no country fan, the alarm on my phone wakes me every morning with Ol' Red. I do like Blake)

Not to divert this thread or stir any pots, but a good while back I started a topic for gun enthusiasts.

I feel this was really tasteless and pour judgment from you.
Even if many of them might be rotten eggs they are still human beings.
If it was supposed to be a joke, it was very bad one.
If it wasn't a joke it makes me wonder if you also put on the white hood and dress on the weekends and burn crosses?

Whoa Bell..... Putting someone in a White robe and Hood is just as bad.......

Edit: Although I took no offense to either one....Ronnie or Bell

I'm really sorry for that thought. I'm just sick and tired of all racist bs.

Swedens most violent nazi pack was here this saturday to "demonstrate" as they called it. They pic a fight with both the police and everyone not sharing ther believes.

I understand Bell Best not to let hate breed Hate... I think everyone here understands Bell...I'd feel the same. Hopefully Ronnie doesn't take your statement the same way.... Ronnie's good you know that... He said something you didn't like....Then there's the group where you are....I understand....

I think Ronnie saw some things I'm glad I didn't have to see when I was in the military....I also got to come back home....

Your a good Man Bell, ....

I started this thread to be something fun so my fellow outdoorsman can share stories. It has gotten slightly off track. Please all posters i don't want this to turn into a mess. We already have enough if those on this forum.

This is from a couple years ago. It was a limit for me and my hunting buddy.

Ronnie is a person I like and I don't think he wears the white clothes.
I never had to go to war and have no idea what he has been through. Still think a comment like his is best to keep to yourself.

Sorry for this Jason. I didn't mean to ruin your thread.

No problem bell i believe everyone is entitled to their opinion, and has the right to voice it. There is just a to many people that think if someone dont agree with them they need to start a big stink about it (not saying that you or Ronnie would but someone else might).

This is the game shot for my dog so far.





She is 2 years old and has yet a lott to learn.

... EDITED ...

JEEEEEZZZZZ bell, calm down mate, that wasn't racist and even if it was, being out there doing what needs to be done, he or any other serving soldier has earned their right to joke (or deal with) any of these situation in anyway they see fit.
It was a flippant comment regarding the 'Taliban' not civilians or innocent people...

love you bell.

Bell, you're right. It was a stupid bad taste joke for which I apologise. It was one of those impulsive comments that seemed funny at the time. Bell, you were absolutely right to shoot me down. For the record, I would never do that kind of thing. Sorry also for de-railing this thread.

Ok back on topic. Bell that's a good looking dog. Do you guy in Europe use dogs to hunt deer?

I know it looks like a deer but it's a moose calf.
We use different kind of dogs. For stags and moose we use a dog that makes the game come to point (or a stand still. Having trouble with the translation)
For roe deer we use dogs that drives the game.

My dog likes to hunt squirrels and mords or martens.(it's a mord or marten in the first pic)
Bears badgers whildboar is game we haven't come across yet.

I find it very interesting how different country hunt game. In the US big game we usally set in a blind or tree stand and wait. For the game to come to us. Upland game for the most part are flushed from cover by walking or using dog. Waterfowl are lured in with decoys and dogs are only use to retrieve the game.

TINKERBELL...You better not be shooting rabbits or lambs.

STINKERBELL AND I WILL GET YOU! (You'll understand better when her gift arrives.)

Remember, we are heavily armed with giggles!
You'll go down...laughing!

P.s. You should use her "hand pic" as your avatar. That is the BEST one yet!
Love the attitude!
That's my girl!

Ok Tink, I guess I could google it, but prefer your first-hand knowledge. What in the Wild World of Omaha (sorry that's probably a reference you won't get.... Marlin Perkins..... Anyone?) is a marten/mort? It looks like a badger to me and in that pic, not quite "bagged" yet? Is it a nuisance animal (varmint) or actual game that you eat?

It's kinda like a small volverine, a varmint,a vicious killer hunted for its furr. They are called mård over here. A beautiful but mean animal.

Bell, is your dog a shepherd? Really nice looking.

My dog is an East Siberian Laika. It's my third and my father has his fourth now.Here is some info about the bread.

Attitude to domesticated and wild animals
The East Siberian Laika is a natural hunting dog highly aggressive to big predators. It is easy to teach not chase farm animals and pets. Like with many hunting dogs, rabbits and cats seem most tempting to them. Cats living in the same household are easily accepted and left alone, but other cats coming nearby will be chased and treed like game. Rabbits should be kept in sturdy dog proof cages in a well-fenced area or in a barn with closing doors.

Utilization
The East Siberian Laika is a hunting dog with a strong natural instinct to hunt big and small game. In Russia, they are used to hunt a diverse game, from squirrel, marten and sable to moose, wild boar and bear. During the hunting search, a typical gate is a trot alternating with gallop. Strength and endurance of these dogs allow them to work fast in deep snow, tall grass, and swamps, on a rocky terrain or swim at near freezing point temperature.

Besides being very efficient hunting dog, the East Siberian Laika is a good sled dog. It can be taken to a hiking trip as a companion dog, if its hunting desire is not seen as a nuisance. During hiking, camping or near the farm house at home, presence of the East Siberian Laika is helpful, because this dog will detect and bark aggressively at dangerous predators, such as mountain lions or bears. The dog will harass the intruding predator by making threatening dashes and forcing it to defend itself, to tree or flee.

The East Siberian Laika does not fit to live in a city unless it is taken often for a free run in a safe place. Being exercised free regularly this dog will be in a good physical shape, content and obedient even if it lives inside, penned or chained.

THAT'S MY GIRL!

I CAN'T STOP LAUGHING!

LOVE HER! AND YOU GUYS!

THANKS!

Its archey season for elk and deer here right now. Once the elk are in full rut I hope to have a picture of a bull to put on here.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_pine_marten

That thing is hard to find and shoot. Some trap those during winter. 100 years ago marten used to be worth of two good horses.

I am a very avid hunter and go every chance I get but one thing that our dad did install in mine and jasonmcs morals is we do not kill anything you arnt planning on eating. We hold true to this statement except for prairie dogs and the ocassonal coyote both of which are considered varmits and a nusence here lol

Teal season is open me quack and our younger brother are in the boat
