With a name like the āSnipe Lodgeā I thought you might be based in Ireland until I saw your reference to Cottonmouths and gators.
I know St. Patrick banished all snakes from Ireland, but I am not sure if that still holds good given the apparent willingness of snake enthusiasts to abandon Burmese Pythons and the like in the wild if they become inconvenient. I see that one ate a gator recently in Florida.

Mid November Chukar hunt. Classic Chukar country: Itās very hard to capture the sheer magnitude of the country and the size of the features in a photo. Photos just donāt do it justice. To try and put things into perspectiveā¦..most of the rock features on this mountain face are easily 4 to 6 stories tall. The ridge of another mountain.. Sometimes you come over a ridge and a local resident might be staring you downā¦. A couple of good setters doing what they do, finding, pointing, backing, repeatā¦ The morning walk bag & Winchester model 12, 16 gauge, circa 1926

November western mountain duck hunting. Canāt beat the scenery. I still miss hunting Nebraska marshes & rivers though. Iāll always have a soft spot for the Midwest central flyway. Unbelievably, these pics were shot within an hour of one anotherā¦.the morning rain, snow & sleet was nowhere in the forecast, but it sure got the ducks moving. A mix bag of Gaddys, Widgeon and some divers (ring necks). No gun pic here, I didnāt want anyone to puke in their mouths. Nobody needs or wants to see a clapped out Winny Super X2 that looks like it hitched a ride on the outside of a submarine. š

Dustin, your pics are always top drawer, and much appreciated. Just breathtaking.
May God bless America and those who defend her.

Not sure what I am seeing here.
Is that the top of a drilling or a side by side with a back sight.
And is that an opening or selector lever way over to the left? Apologies. Its a drilling, The top lever acts as a selector for the rifle barrel firing pin and raises the rear sight. This hunt was a dryhole but on my last trip down I shot a medium doe. Geoegia has small deer generally. I think its a drilling with the lever cocked over like that. Sorry about the family farm journeyman. Hunt the hell out of it while you can I'm going to try and capture a good nunber of the fish from both ponds while I can. My inlaws have a small farm pond that I would love to transplant with these redeared sunfish.

A few pics from this week's hunting so far. Today was good. Shot my limit of three on 3 shells. Ammo conservation in these trying times is appreciated. From Monday, just one bird with the little Cashmore Paragon. A better picture From today. That's a "new" Rigby that my hunting partner picked up last weekend in Tulsa. Nice gun, but the stock is a mile long (15.5") and short in the drop. The little Cashmore did the heavy lifting and accounted for 3 of the 4.

Shooting the birds this morning might have been easier than getting all of them to sit on the fence rail in a twenty-five mph wind long enough for me to get a picture.

Waterfowl season ended abruptly across most of the state last weekend with a big snowstorm followed by below zero temperatures. Some places got 20".
