Default Not quite like a "M-1 Thumb" but maybe close

Yeah- gonna be a Bluebirdy opener this Sat for ducks and Geese- so a short early field set up in a cut over corn field- hope to get a shot or two.

My partner, a retired Dr. is, like my son-in-law, a "Southpaw" and he has a fine Binelli fully camo 12 autolaoder- in LH mod. We had the Trius foot pedal clays trap out this past Sunday afternoon- I had my Smith 12 2E- I tried a few shots with his Binelli- loading and the safety was a bit tricky, but those Federal 1oz. light loads- shattered the orange discs and the recoil- like a .410

Guess I'll have to get lucky (again) at a DU Banquet and win one- at $1700 plus retail- a fella could get a good 12 VH shooter for that dinero- I did have trouble thumbing in the second shells, not used to an autoloader- but my sympathy goes to Charlie and his taped-up thumb. You never realize how useful those thumbs are until you rack one up-- Good fotos too bruce- Thanks for sharing

Hey Bruce; What do those people do for fire wood? In pic 014 is that a white dog on point? My goodness a fellow could sure let his pups run loose up there. That is sure stange country to an ol Georgia boy thats never been west of the Mississippi or north of Kentucky. There is sure nothing in the way of shooting. Thanks for sharing. Gerald

Bruce:

Great photos. That terrain comes as a real surprise to me. We hunted Isabel, SD last year, my first time in the Dakotas, and it was almost completely flat. Walking was a breeze. Are you hunting public lands, management areas and CRP or are you on a private ranch? Looking at the draws and cuts and hills you're hunting must really put a "hitch in your giddiup" after 2 or 3 days. We will hunt SD again in about 3 weeks and I can't wait, just hope we find as many pheasants and sharpies as last year.
Congratulations on such a fun hunt.

Very Nice....!!

Looks like some country I have hunted along the shores of Lake Sakakawea. Never knew if a sharp-tail, Hun or Ringneck was going to flush.

Have a great hunt,
Kurt
