    How to manage this?

    In a pinch I have used Chapstick and carry two with me. Since I never use the shell loops for shells, put Chapstick in there and small tubes of eye ointment. I keep the Mushers in my vet kit.

    2nd Trip

    Our group would get there the Sunday night of opening weekend and hunt the next four days. Never saw another hunter. Absolutely the best people. Access was almost always granted. Large grassy CRP fields are what we hunted. Your dog’s nose was tested and required persistent tracking. Work the...

    Winans Retreiver Kennel

    If my dog did have dewclaws, I would suggest 2” adhesive tape as a protective wrap to avoid trauma. Some dogs have rear dewclaws and are more prone to injury as they are not as fixed as are the front. The above analogy to a baby’s thumb is far fetched, one is weight bearing and one is able to grip.

    Knee Surgery Question

    Had a double knee replacement 6.5 years ago, one at 6AM and one at 8AM. I was walking down the hall at 4PM. I took off work 17 days. You can only sit on ass so long. The motion is the lotion. Worked well for me until it didn’t. Second replacement on the left four years later, it...

    WTB Ithaca/SKB 280

    My SKB 200E will pass to my grandson. Purchased in 1979 for $375. Good luck in your search. It was bad luck for many quail, Huns, woodcock, sharpies, roosters, pigeons and grouse. My honor to have him hunt with me and the 200E.

    Here is a strange tip I heard.
