Being from Kansas, I go home each year to see this nice older couple who feed me and call me son....I also preached for several small churches in western Kansas during the late 90s and early 00s who still support some work I do in Greece each year.

Every year I've gone back, with few exceptions, several of us go on a hunting trip to a ranch owned by a brother in Christ who is also an outfitter - Kurht Ranch in Edson, KS (shameless plug for my friend.)

Anyway, we all have a great time.

The group picture is, from left to right - Sean Rall, 15 (I prayed over him with his father the night he was born), Troy Rall (Sean's dad), me (the fat guy in the big hat), Macey (the good looking dog standing by me is actually Sean's dog - trained by him as well), John Faber (now a sophomore in college, has been making this hunt since he was 13 and his family have been some of my closest friends for nearly 20 years), and Macen Shull (also a sophomore in college, Sean's cousin, Troy's nephew) Troy's wife Jennifer took the picture and walked with us taking other pictures as well.

Each year the group is different, but is always a great time. A couple of years ago we also added the tradition of making dinner for several friends with the birds - the casserole and fried breasts were delicious, but the realization that we needed a picture of that came after dinner - sorry.

Love, love, love a good pheasant hunt. The twin pheasant mount above my head sends condolences to the downed birds.
 
Glad you had a great hunt. Thanks for sharing the report and photos.

It looks like you are an old African pro. You have the "gun carry down" perfect.:)
 
Used to hunt them in ND. This late in the year they are WILD. Get a good snow and you could sometimes see over 1000 birds a day. Lots of fun. Bruce
 
Looks like you guys had a great hunt. Thank you for sharing the pictures.
 
I appreciate that your barrels are properly oriented -- side-by-side!!!

I would be interested in it if you pass. Please send me the info on the gun shop if you do not buy it. I have the needed ammo and brass.
Thanks,
Ross
