    Boone Lake

    They seem to be thriving. Just getting to keeper size. Had a couple 50+ fish days there this year. Boone might turn into a hot spot once they get full grown. I hear they are catching a bunch of trophy size trout out there now also. It’s a different kinda place after the down for the dam and...

    Phenix rods

    Thought I’d share since it’s the holidays and someone may be looking for a gift idea for a fisherman in your life or just for yourself. If you have never handled a Phenix feather go find one and give it a try. Bought myself one last spring and have since bought 3 more. I have owned several high...

    Buying a single shot made today.

    My son learned on a ATI over under 410. Price was under $500 and has thumb safety and screw in chokes. I cut about 1 1/2 inches off the butt and added a slip on butt pad. Served us well. He has since upgraded to a youth bps 20 but I still shoot the 410 regularly. Very good gun for the money and...

    Arkansas opener

    In Jonesboro on flooded bean field. 3 spoonies is all we had this morning. Tough hunting for everybody I’ve talked to so far. Most places have little to no water. Hope your sons having better luck than us.

    Dry spell

    Haven’t shot one in 5 years but kinda by design. I have been playing guide to my son who is now 11. It’s not always about pulling the trigger or how big the antlers are. I have had a blast watching him learn the last five years. Attached some pics of his. Proud dad!

    Let’s start a fight!!

    Old Browning a5 gets my vote. Currently have a wicked wing a5 and a beretta a400 in the safe, like the beretta better but it does feel heavy. Had a sbe2 before those which I think ergonomically felt better than both the others. Have killed more with a old mossberg 500 than any other gun. But if...

    What y’all think?

    Supposed to leave next Monday the 26th to take the little boys to hunt west Sandy. My question is with this cold forecast for the end of this week into weekend do you all think that it will be locked up frozen? Never been there. Looks like it’s supposed to get back above freezing on Monday but...

    West Sandy?

    Lucky enough to get a draw this year. Planning on taking our lil boys. Dec 26-29 West Sandy blind 25. Never been there, honestly not that experienced of a duck hunter. Looks like it’s close to a ramp which is good cause I have a small boat with small motors. Corn supposed to be planted around...
