New Years Phox Pheasant Phun

Actually, this was in Ohio, not WV. I was feeling benevolent and didn't shoot the possum. I have skinned a few of those greasy things as a kid when I trapped.
I did eat some wild game that day ,as my wife had fixed venison tenderloin in a dry rub on the grill and I fixed that pheasant in white wine and mushrooms. I am lucky in that my wife likes wild game and has no problems fixing it. Her father was a hunter.
I have a preserve pheasant hunt booked in 2 weeks. I won it at an NRA banquet. I am going to let my son sh00t all the birds with me as back up.
Daryl and Rich, looking forward to seeing you g uys at some SXS shoots this spring.

Only 4mos untill the Southern Daryl. Temps in the negative today and wind chill warnings.....

I hear ya Daryl. Eight degrees this morning, shoveling 4" of snow out of the driveway. The setters were barking at me--they wanted back in the garage!
Grouse season is still in Ohio 'til the end of Jan and in WV thru end of Feb, but they are few and far between in my area now--I rarely will shoot one now, but still get the dogs out. There are usually a couple local gun shows in Jan to browse thru. Thinking about going to the Southern SXS this spring.

Harold you will love the Southern as we shoot at a neighboring club called Drakes Landing. The people that run the place are truly glad to have us and I will be organizing shooting for Thurs-Sat there. You will also get to see lots of wonderfull guns in the vendors tents at Deep River. Bring plenty of sells and your checkbook

15 degrees with a 0 degree wind chill preceded by 6" of stinking snow.

I don't know how you boys up north put up with this but Florida or South Carolina is definitely in my retirement plans. Need some company Mr Dwyer?

Buck up there Jr. it's not that bad and it won't last forever. It supposed to be in the low to mid 20's tomorrow so it's time to turn Daisy loose on the Pheasants again.

Yep, supposed to warm up a bit this weekend, and it will be muzzle loader season out at the farm. I would like another deer in the freezer.
I will seriously consider going to the Southern--the little Sterly 20 that started this post would make good trading material--I have another one just like it and dont need 2.
