Besides shooting some clays, do any of you fellow hunter do anything special get ready for the season? Like practicing your mounting, and swing of the gun?.......Bob |

This one probably belongs in the Gobble Back section, but I'll bite...."Do I do anything special to get ready for the upcoming bird season, like practice mounting my gun or swinging the gun?"
Answer...Yup, it's called sporting clays and I sometimes allow Mrs. Tarheel Blue to iron & starch my bird vest and even blow a tweet or two on my trusty whistle.

Sporting Clays are the way. Going to a shoot in the morning at Quail Ridge with some boys. No better way to get the blood pumping. We are going to start getting some cooler mornings this week so we can start working the pup on things other than water practice. Season opens in 11 days!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |

Hello! The answer for your question is that I want to upgrade my hunting rifles. I had found some interesting rifles at http://www.pennysaverusa.com/catego.../radius-1/ But I don't have experience with buying online.So, if you have, can you share with me your knowledge and give my some tips. |

Edwards;I do know you have to have a FFL gun dealer that will let you ship the gun to his dealership. This I know is done for a fee for they then have to make out the registration paperwork etc. So Pick out the rifle you want and get the dealers FFL number and place your order......Bob |

I do sporting clays, run the dog, clean the guns, check my equipment to see if there might be something I "need". 
Plus this year I get to buy some new equip for my son. He turned 13 last month and this will be his first full season hunting with me. Because he's growing like a weed (he's 6'-0") trying to guess what he'll be fitting into at the end of the season is a little dicey.

Guns - cleaned and oiled... check
Equipment - sorted, checked, re-organized... check
Shells - 2 cases for dove... check
license - state, waterfowl, walkin-access... check
Dog - vet visit, workouts, more food... check
PERMISSION from she who must be obeyed... check

Waiting to scratch that itch!!!

I don't know how things are in your house, but in mine "She" is always capitalized. |

I try to get myself and my Brittany in a little better shape by spending more time walking (in my hunting boots). I also try to do a bit more overall excercise(push-ups, sit-ups etc.
I also get all my gear out and fondle it a bit.

Brady, that walking in your hunting boots is an excellent idea. It does no good to get legs in shape for whatever shoes. Then when you hang 3 pounds roughly on each foot your leg muscles go boogie.......Bob |
