I’ve had TT15s, TT15 minis, and now TT25s. Like said above, TT25 size is very similar to the mini and the battery life outperforms any track/train collar I’ve owned. I’ve slowly phased out all my old stuff to TT25s. The extended battery life alone was enough of a selling point for me.

Your farmer is spot-on. Do neonic treated seeds and glyphosate alone kill quail? In the short term, probably no. Are expansive, commercialized crop fields, void of any annual weeds or insects, beneficial to quail? I would guess there’s not a bit of literature out there that would say “yes”...

Heard rumor they lowered bag limit to 1?

I was in S&R yesterday and they had several TT15s on the shelf. The owner said the majority of their sales are on the internet. Just FYI if you still haven’t found a collar.

Check with S&R in Middletown, MO. I was on a waiting list for several months before getting a couple but they may be back in stock now. https://www.sandrsportinggoods.com/

That sounds about right. I keep a couple extra antennas in the dog box as it’s not uncommon for them to shear off at the black sleeve that routes them along the collar strap.

All pups are sold and off to new homes. Thanks everyone!

Thanks for the input! Looking to try something a little different. Have never shot a quail that far south.

Has anyone ever done a DIY, public land quail hunt in the deep South? Thinking about a Georgia, Florida, AL, SC, etc. Very interested in hunting wild birds in pine woods in the south. Thanks!

Thanks! Very excited to see what they do on birds.

Gerber Vital shears are the way to go! I have two pairs. The first has rode in my dog box for 15+ yrs now. The second stays in my shop for cleaning birds when it gets cold.

Any reports on blues/gambels? Might make a trip in early February to the eastern part of the state

Not sure where to post this but I’ll try here. I’ve got a 4-run kennel I’m putting up at our new house. Each of the pens is 10’x10’ and I’m going to pour a concrete pad roughly 44’x15’. That leaves 2’ of concrete extending past each “narrow” end, a 3’ walkway in front of the “long” end to access...
