I don't know but what is the reason for so many shells. I hunt and over and under and see no differences in what I can bag vs the guys that shoot multiple shot shotguns.

Very few people I know do any damage with the third shot or more.

Ken, Did some prospecting in Indian Bayou today, stopped talked to the ranger and he said everyone was going to the waters edge and doing well. I went up to a new area I had never hit.

How do you cook your woodcock?

I am curious I have heard of many various recipes and would like to try some.

I only cook them the cajun way. I will post a recipe first of we pluck all of our birds.

NC, Great stuff, and the male Wood Ducks are making me green with envy, I have never been able to shoot one that I did not destroy the head, and have never been able to mount one, even when I lived on the big lake in Slidell.

No, Don, haha. I'm NOT trying to bring out an instinct. I'm trying to train her for something that isn't natural to her. That's the whole point. Moxy's doing just fine naturally and as far as I'm concerned she'll never see any formal fetch training, even if that means she'll never be an efficient r...

northern cajun

AH you don't train range in a dog. God either gives them a big motor or he doesn't. Bigsugar, I would whole heartedly agree, they either have a motor or they don't, but it's up to us to train them when to idle it and when to rev it, is it not? You can teach a big going dog to hunt short by training...

@ Brenda and Bob I am not picking a fight but while you do not calculate IC's literally you do it subconsciously that is all.

Just grab the focus ring at any time for instant manual override. Use the "M/A" position of the M/A - M focus mode selector on the lens. Yup, that's the way my buddies D90's work I think.

And autofocus mode always picks the foreground weed sticks to make crisp and clear! Gotta switch to manual focus in the thick stuff.

Well I notice that in last years National Championship, that the tracker was pulled out for 5 out of the 39 dogs that ran. Of course, maybe these weren't good dogs or their mounted handlers and scouts were not good trainers. On the other hand, I would say on that day, they were too much dog. How ma...
