Re: The Nemesis of Hunting
First thanks for all of the responses, it is really great to hear from all over the country and north of the border. I agree with most of you that lack of access and loss of habitat are the two biggest threats to upland bird hunting. But I feel motorized access and technology are a big threat to qu...

Re: Let's talk gun's . Does it matter to you ?
I own a Camry and a 870, they are both super reliable and nothing to be ashamed of IMO, however I wouldn't walk across the street to look at either one, like I would a 65 mustang or a Win 21. A shotgun can be a tool, a work of art or both, nothing wrong with that.
