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!!!

Currently doing a load development on a .404 Jeffrey... it's always surprising to load .423 caliber bullets into a .404 caliber rifle. But we love it when we get 400 Gr North Fork SS bullets to 2300 FPS, those should hammer down on buffalo. Next up are the Cutting Edge solids and then Raptors... load 200 rounds of ammo for the customer and on to the next gun!
To much to political shit, to little Africa :-)
Spending a few years hunting out west then back to Africa!

Hello. If you haven't already sold this rifle then I will purchase. Please advise. Thank you.

I doubt you are interested in any trades but I was getting ready to list a Sauer 404 3 barrel set in the 10-12 price range if your interested. It has the 404J, 30-06 and 6.5 Creedmoor barrel. Only the 30-06 had been shot and it has 7 rounds through it as I was working on breaking the barrel in. It also has both the synthetic thumbhole stock and somewhere between grade 3-5 non thumbhole stock
