Maybe I won't have to go in the fields Saturday when Dove season opens down here. I just got back from the barn in my back yard and there were about 10 or 12 doves IN THE HORSE STALL cleaning up what the horses dropped from their morning feeding! I am thinking of the...

I know that this may be before some of y'all were around but back in about 1959 or 60 I bought a few 25 packs of .22 shorts that came in a pack that looked like "Chicklets gum packages". They were even in cellophane with the lil red strip to tear off to get the cellophane torn off of them. IIRC...

Seeing that this was a rifle cartridge I guess it goes in the "rifle" forum. At least 70% of the time when hunting whitetail in any kind of semi-open country, I usualy grab my Rem. 700 25-06. I had a chance yesterday for just a short while (after being relieved from helping take care of my...
