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. ![[Linked Image from i.ibb.co]](https://i.ibb.co/wYB9D4g/B134304-F-E206-4-E42-B13-E-511-EE0-AFA860.jpg) The ridge of another mountain.. ![[Linked Image from i.ibb.co]](https://i.ibb.co/mtmyxzf/F3-AACF68-0-E01-41-FC-AEC1-8-B6-DBABCB751.jpg) ![[Linked Image from i.ibb.co]](https://i.ibb.co/tqP55r3/6590530-C-27-AD-44-C1-8336-5-F65722-DCADE.jpg) ![[Linked Image from i.ibb.co]](https://i.ibb.co/bznjbnC/7730-F1-AF-2-BBD-4-B1-B-A08-D-550062-F6-FA4-F.jpg) Sometimes you come over a ridge and a local resident might be staring you downā¦. ![[Linked Image from i.ibb.co]](https://i.ibb.co/c3ktNHY/784-D9-C9-A-9-F5-B-4-DB7-9456-E235-A3-CD7-C99.jpg) A couple of good setters doing what they do, finding, pointing, backing, repeat⦠![[Linked Image from i.ibb.co]](https://i.ibb.co/kQrtTFk/40361-F72-6-C99-43-B0-A01-E-483-B279-EF3-DD.jpg) The morning walk bag & Winchester model 12, 16 gauge, circa 1926 ![[Linked Image from i.ibb.co]](https://i.ibb.co/MfrBvN2/A3678622-F23-C-406-F-ABA3-CE9-D68-A0429-D.jpg)

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 ![[Linked Image from i.ibb.co]](https://i.ibb.co/CnkPpmJ/5887-B899-8-BE9-4012-AE64-AF495-F60-E154.jpg) ![[Linked Image from i.ibb.co]](https://i.ibb.co/ckHrZQh/F1-FCD40-A-5-C72-468-E-AEDA-F91-D4470-ABA9.jpg)

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. ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/qauK6EL.jpg) A better picture ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/W5FERrH.jpg) 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. ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/xLfjgRB.jpg)

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. ![[Linked Image from thesnipe.startlogic.com]](http://thesnipe.startlogic.com/img/111722.JPG)

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