Are snipe the most overlooked gamebird in North America? I explore the virtues of a snipe hunt in this recent article that you can find by clicking through. Love to hear your thoughts! https://t.co/KWmFniZY8W

Grey partridge (Huns) are a fantastic game bird and often overshadowed by their more flamboyant cousin the pheasant.
Here’s a recent article on pursuing greys in Alberta -found on TheGameCard site https://t.co/cFutxG1hNU thanks to @KarenManzer for 📷!!

Every season is a bit different but it’s pleasantly reassuring to fish through each primary food source. Last night they were still on big stones but it will soon be green drakes! @OutdoorBailey @CansoDan @Norwester

@Norwester If you’re looking at the black bag type then consider one w a build in thermometer - nice safety feature as they can become too hot for the skin🥵

Finally got around to providing a review on Wayment’s book. If you’re a fan of dogs, forest grouse and doubles then - - -

I often forget to clean the chokes in a smoothbore - okay neglect is the truth of it. I’ve found something that makes this process much simpler. See video at this link

@OutdoorBailey @24beavers Haha - yes we’re very fortunate! Although there’s something very pleasing about exploring new ground.

I’ve thought of returning to Africa many times over the past yr while reliving a wing-shooting safari fr 2019. Our friend Ken captured these feelings for an article while listening to us talk on & on over beverages on the back deck last summer. He’s a patient man! @OutdoorBailey

[Doug Manzer @DougManzer]

Thanks to @AfricanHunting for running the story!

Said goodbye to an old friend earlier this month that had accompanied me on many fine hunts over the years. I wrote up a short account of my time w this gun for its new custodian

@Norwester We skipped the afternoon dog walk today. #lightweights

[Doug Manzer @DougManzer]

@_SimonReinhold Agreed. And more likely to pass through

6 days on the rack and a 2-day soak in a garlic marinade took away the unease over the age of at least one of the birds in this mix - #mrlongspur . great job K!
