We may have created a monster. Derrick Nawrocki claimed He’d never shot a Pheasant, rarely used a shotgun. He missed his first bird, but got his second and then proceeded to show us veterans how it was done. No fly zone! Mossberg M930 12 ga. To start, but soon he was smacking them with 20 and 28! #uplandhunting #pheasanthunting #mossbergshotgun #scattergunlodge #southdakota #birdhunter #mossberg930 @powell8206

Dog abuse? Naw, Dave is just plucking sandburs from his wire hair. As you can see on Dave’s cuff, Dog didn’t return the favor. #dog #wirehair #birdhunting #sandbur #dogmaintenance #scattergunlodge #pheasanthunting #ronspomeroutdoors

Teaching an old dog new tricks. 77 yr. old Jim Zumbo, lifelong hunter, never shot a bird with a puny little, underpowered 28 ga. Got him to try Mossberg SA 28 yesterday and he proceeded to pile them up at Scattergun Lodge. Ol’ Jim can shoot! And now he’s in love with 28 ga.

The larch (tamarack) of the boreal zone confuses people. It looks like a conifer, but sheds its needle-like leaves each fall like a deciduous tree. Standing golem amid dark firs, it’s quite a glorious accent. #larches #larch #tamarack #tree #forest #conifers #deciduoustrees #fall #foliage #color #yellow #gold #whywehunt #ronspomeroutdoors

When Robert Frost wrote about the woods being lovely, dark and deep, he wasn't in this bright October Alpen forest. No wonder we love hunting so passionately. #whywehunt #forest #aspen #woods #frost #poetry #hunting #habitat #scenicview #trees #october #fall #ronspomeroutdoors

I guided little Mitch Sandquist to his first deer when he was 13. Now 17 and 6'6", he's man handling Betsy's deer out of canyons of ID. What a great young man! Gives me hope for the future. He's hoping to major in wildlife mngmnt. Or forestry. Something outdoors. #whywehunt #nextgeneration #nextgenerationleaders #hunting #deerhunting #protoge #mentoringmatters #mywifehunts #family #ronspomeroutdoors
