Beretta Silver Pigeon
« on: December 03, 2020, 05:39:49 PM »
So I’ve wanted a Beretta Silver Pigeon for 20 years.  About 4-1/2 years ago I got real sick & it turned out to be cancer with a bad prognosis. I battled it for 4 years and am blessed enough o have won the battle, so I sold my house in Bremerton & bought a house in Fargo last month so I can spend a lot more time hunting and get back into bird hunting more, like I started out in pullman in 1990. I told myself when I was sick if I won I was going to get a Silver Pigeon to celebrate. Yesterday I got my ND driver license and went right down the street to Scheel’s and bought myself my beating cancer present. I can’t wait to get in he field in a couple days and test it out!

For some reason the top picture is upside down & I can’t figure out how to fix it.

I'm not sure what it is about them but to me, there is just no better looking firearm than a sexy looking Over/Under.  Congrats on a good looking piece!

did you get a 12 or a 20?  I'd hate to be you and not be sure which you wanted.  If you were that way early congrats on the one you get next year.

I went with the 12. I have a Weatherby Orion in 20 that I love. There’s something about the looks of over unders that  really get to me, too. I just love the way they look & have a hard time passing them by.

have fun with the new gun.  My next one won't be a pretty gun as in past years.  I have a 10 gauge semi on order.

Had the Beretta out for the maiden voyage this morning and I have to say I really like it.

That's some good eatin right there.  We used to hunt birds, a lot, when I was a kid and we'd have pheasant feeds about once a month at my grandparents.  Pheasant is absolutely delicious!!!

Super cool.
I hope your Christmas and holidays are every bit as good.

I'm getting the serious itch to rekindle my bird hunting passion.
With a 14 year old son and no steelhead these days chasing the birds just makes sense. :)

I love bird hunting. My favorite thing is to see a dog working a field or retrieving a duck across the pond in the morning. Maggie is too old to hunt anymore, so last week I was down to KT British Labs about 90 minutes from me in Minnesota & put a deposit on a puppy for March-April timeframe.

That's great!!!

I've been rereading Richard Wolters book "Game Dog" lately before I crash @ night.
My copy is so old they have since revised the book cover.

Also making plans to build another flight pen for my herd of live feather dummies'.
Trying to decide if I'm incubating eggs or buying chicks this time around.
HHhhhmmm.

That looks like some great country in your picture.
Is there much public ground left in the pheasant heartland to just show up and hunt these days?

I’m learning my way around, but there’s some. Can’t say if it’s a lot yet, but some of it is good hunting ground. North Dakota also has a good program called PLOTS where they pay a little money to farmers to open their land to hunters.  There’s a lot of thst land and they publish a map book showing them and public land.
