    Butt ugly with an identity crisis

    Some scared flatlander is going to buy one of these to carry with him on his hike in Yellowstone for protection against grizzle berts.

    Centimeter (aka 10mm) for bear?

    Maybe I should buy one of those, also.

    Centimeter (aka 10mm) for bear?

    In fact, I am going to go buy a Glock 1cm solely so I can talk about it.

    Centimeter (aka 10mm) for bear?

    Haha. This is so great. I am never referring to a firearm in 1cm caliber as '10mm' again. And if anyone says '10mm', I am going to correct them.

    My birdfriend's back and they're gonna be in trouble (Hey la, hey la, my birdfriend's back)

    Thats it. With the cold front coming in overnight bring high temps into the single digits and negatives, the next ~5 days are going to be too cold for Greta, Roach, and me to be afield for any length of time. Ive just spoken to my friend and he will be ready for Roach next week. I am going to...

    My birdfriend's back and they're gonna be in trouble (Hey la, hey la, my birdfriend's back)

    Make that 2 flights left. 16 degrees today which is fine but not with cold, 30mph winds. I made it about 100ft out the truck before calling it. Roach was doing his kite impression the whole time. Greta found 2 coveys in the <1 mile she ran and bumped them both. They flew over us to the...

    My birdfriend's back and they're gonna be in trouble (Hey la, hey la, my birdfriend's back)

    Feeling a little melancholy this evening. A lot, really. Am looking back thru pictures on this topic. This topic, and last years. Pictures of Roach... The feelings are similar to every bird I have ever had -- Should I go another year with this one? Did I get all I could out of him/her...

    My birdfriend's back and they're gonna be in trouble (Hey la, hey la, my birdfriend's back)

    First of 2024. I think we have 3 flights left.

    My birdfriend's back and they're gonna be in trouble (Hey la, hey la, my birdfriend's back)

    Two flights on separate coveys today, both involving not only Roach but his Prairie Falcon friend who I hadnt seen in a while until today. I think she is the only reason we didnt put one in the bag today. First flush I didnt know she was there, second I thought she was gone. First covey...

    Leather Working HT’ers

    Thanks. Different size depending on sex/species and some variation even there depending on individual size.

    My birdfriend's back and they're gonna be in trouble (Hey la, hey la, my birdfriend's back)

    19 or 20 on the year? Maybe 21? No idea, haven’t keep track very well. Killed it from 1200’.

    Best upland gun dog breed?

    I agree with the above that this is flat out wrong for any upland save maybe pheasants. A good pointer will stand off pressured late birds enough that they will not flush. They dont flush because of the dog, they flush because of the hunter approaching. The birds will flush upon seeing the...

    My birdfriend's back and they're gonna be in trouble (Hey la, hey la, my birdfriend's back)

    Roach bound to a hun in the air today, but it shook free as he was bringing it down. First time in a long time one of them hasn’t got got when I’ve given him a decent shot which he had today - they were out in no man’s land with a LONG flight to safety. One of the coveys, anyway, other two...

    Best upland gun dog breed?

    Agree with above. E. Pointers bred for horseback trialing are the biggest running, most intense, 'best' pointing dog available - the sky is the limit, theyll run to the ends of the earth and hold point til the end of time if youll let them (which I agree with statement this can makes a lot of...

    Traumatizing fish

    As Catch and Release has become the norm and fishing - fly fishing, especially, in MT - has become more popular, I find myself catching more fish with mangled faces, missing 'lips', and other clear hook wounds caused by barbed hooks, specifically their removal. Mangled faces are especially...

    Leather Working HT’ers

    I make tiny hats for birds (and other bird-related products). This was a batch from 3 or 4 years ago. The only pitchers I have, though I have made a bunch since for myself and others. And, as in any leather topic, this video is obligatory.

    Greatest Disney Christmas Parade EVAR

    I didn’t know there was a Disney Christmas Parade until my mother-in-law called this morning to tell me The Smashing Pumpkins, the greatest band of all time, were playing. I didn’t believe her at first, but, sure enough, after watching an hour or more of a long Disney commercial there they were.
