I had NO trouble watching the "Pheasants Forever" video clip LP had put in the blog!
You DID click on the triangle in the center of the frame, didn't you???????????
(take a boy out of the country but can't take the country out of the boy)
Oh, sorry, did I write that??????
Just got out the hunding clothes, tried on the trousers, coat and down vest. Amazingly they still fit and can be buttoned!
I presume we all need our buck hunding knives and bird cleaning scissors, right?
BTW (old dog, that is shorthand for "By The Way") I can't remember if Nebraska requires "X square inches" of blaze orange on bird hunders. If so I gotta go to BPS and buy me a vest with a blaze orange panel.
Dammit LP you shouldn't a not sent that video this early, especially after me seeing all those pheasants on our trip to Hengland!
Got the old ticker to tickin'!
8 days and a wakeup and it is TIME to pop some caps on the "wily cock pheasant"
When it said, "enjoy..." there was nothing there. Now there is. I clicked on it. Watching that cancer patient pop a cap in a wiley rooster brought out the emotions. I have heard it said many times before..."it don't get no better than this..." LET'S GO TODAY!! I'm IN! jb
I have been informed by the resident USOPHT equipment manager/dog bed designer/B&B manager/QUEEN that CHATEAU BRYANT in Commerce, GA will be available for the traditional PHEASANT PHEAST. She also informed me that the FIRST bird, BY GOD, even if it is the ONLY bird, BY GOD, is HER BIRD! Her daily sacrifices toward restoration of the dog trailer have been incredible. And her connection with the 'UNDERWORLD' T-SHIRT makers to provide the team with its unity is IMMEASURABLE...plus, ya'll know, like I know, her ascerbic wit is LASER SHARP and can NEUTER any male within eyesight if we don't comply. Just thought I would mention that... JB
HB: To my knowledge there is no requirement in Nebraska for upland game hunters to wear blaze orange. However I'll check the Game and Parks website to confirm. Besides, I'm not sure it does any good. I was wearing blaze orange when shot by thus far unidentified sons in law a few years back and Cheney's friend was absolutely draped in the stuff when he got nailed.
HUNTER ORANGE All hunters should wear hunter orange as a precaution in the field. Hunter orange makes hunters more visible to others in the field and is proven to save lives. Everyone hunting deer, antelope, elk or mountain sheep with firearm or muzzleloader is required to wear at all times at least 400 square inches of hunter orange on their head, back and chest. Camouflage hunter orange patterns are legal if the minimum square inches requirement is met. Hunter orange is not required for spring turkey. It’s also not required for fall turkey except during the 9-day Nov.
HB: I called the game commission and was told that there is no requirement for blaze orange on the apparel of upland game hunters, although it is recommended that it be worn.
I am color blind... What is 'blaze orange'? I guess I wasn't wearing any when I got nailed in the back by a NUN. What I would recommend is either a Filson "Tin Cloth" hunting coat, like I had on at the time, or a a mylar bullet proof vest...
If you are color blind, then it will not be possible to explain what "blaze orange" looks like.
But trust me, "blaze orange" IS very visible pretty much across the entire light spectrum, probably even more than the flourescent green you see all the police and emergency personnel wearing on the TV and at emergency scenes. "Blaze Orange' will almost stand out in the dark!
So there was little excuse, even for someone who is color blind, for you "winging" SP in the neck with the #6 shod, that lovely day some years back. You remember, when SP's sister D had to remove the shod with the single edge razor blade????????
Of course, SP just MIGHT have been too far oud in frond of the "V" on that day. Same as when Hugh god peppered when he was WAY too far oud in frond of Brockoff the year he hunded with us!
LP and I just had a relaxed meeding here at the house, talking aboud the hund and years pasd! In facd, we even hoisted a couple in tribude to the combing hund!
As I recall, the position of the troops when I got shot ended up being circular with the birds (quail)in the middle. This type of deployment is often called a "Democrat Firing Squad", no doubt in reference to the Democratic party's penchant for shooting down its own. SP
I think I remember the day "old dog" caught the #6 in the neck. Except the term we were using to describe the team maneuver on that particular quail was "the circle of death"!
How little did we realize how close that would be to the truth.
A word of caution to the team, there can be no talk of politics on this trip, not with all the folks running around with loaded guns! Someone just might "go over the edge"!
Have begun making my list and checking it twice to be sure I have everything necessary to hund the "wily ring neck pheasant". Hopefully the truck will haul all the necessary gear for 4 well equipped hunders!
Piling all my "stuff" together in preparation for packing. Just do not know how I will be able to get it all in anything but a "POD" portable storage unit. Probably will have to cut down to only one change of clothing each day.
Also, wearing my new boots today, trying to "break them in" before the hund. Have had them on about 4 hours and no blisters yet. Have been trying to work up the amount of time I wear them each day. But they are not 100% leather and this Chinese "man made material" does not stretch and mold to your foot like leather. But since they are thinsulate insulated I suppose that comes with the territory.
SP, have you made any contacts with Royal or Wilhelm about hunding any of our old spots? What does coyote draw like like nowdays?
Wilhelms no longer own the land next to the farm. I do have a good relationship with the new owner, but he has mowed down the grass field that used to be so productive and there are no other spots on the old Wilhelm place that are worth the effort to hund anymore. It's all in scruffy pasture. There is a spot across the road farmed by the Royals in which Bill H. and I have had some luck the last couple of years. Last year it had some heavy grass in which dogs will be very effective. HB is right. When you pack for the hund, leave your politics at home.
As I recall. The circle of death did yeild a rooster...not a quail. The bird got up right in the middle and when I saw LP hit the turf, I figured it was ok to take a shod. Little did i know, the Gleek Old Dog wanted the bird also and stood firm on his efforts to keep hunding. Unfortunately, a stray #6 found its way to his neck.... I am just glad that I didn't get caught while hunting Gleeks out of season!

Boy you gotta get a new 'puter!
Are you using a company 'puter or what?

To all team members...

I assume that you refer to your wife?
And, I agree that she is indeed acerbic, when it comes to wit, having been on the receiving end of it a number of times!
However, and I am sure you might have reached this point, you just have to let it roll off like water from a duck's back!
JMHO, of course!

Of course, Amen.

LP,
Thank you for your verbatim quote from the 2008 Nebraska Game and Parks Commission hunting regulations!
The regulation is sufficiently vaugue to leave a serious question in the mind of anyone reading it!
Alas, another government agency here to help!
