    Wanted: Semi auto 16 gauge

    Yeah, my 12 serial # 722 has the same forearm. That's why I thought it was pretty old, maybe pre corncob.

    If I'm not mistaken, That's an old one. Pre corncob forearm. I gave my grandson my full choke corncob. He's taking it to Kansas with us Friday for a spare.

    There's no luckier guy in the world, than a guy whose addiction is fueled by good dogs and a good woman.

    I kinda agree. This C.N.C. jazz is a double-edged sword. Fit and finish is very good sometimes perfect. The weight is usually less. Screw in chokes make them a lot more versatile. And they are a lot cheaper. But they just don't touch a guy like a turn of the century to pre 64's do.

    Navda is a good organization. I used to be good friends with a guy who was the Director/ president. His name was Tim Foist. Anyone on here remember him? I don't remember what they called the position. I trained some dogs for it but never went to a test. I was young, married with a little girl...

    9 miles of walking, 2 opportunities, 1 Rooster

    I'd just be happy to be able to walk 9 miles on pavement again! 9 miles through cover I'd be in the I.C.U. :sick:

    looking for advice: training a lab pointer

    Long story short, start by introducing loud noises, while playing fetch, slowly progressing louder. She needs to associate it with something good. Then lots of birds. You already have a head start because you will work obedience in with it. Don't worry about the bonding. She's probably already...

    Dog boots

    Yeah, I think it was south of Pratt where I had a couple encounters.

    Thanks, how about Porcupines?? If I remember correctly, there were some there.

    Dog boots

    I've hunted around Hays without dog boots. But down around Kinsley I did need dog boots. So, is there a kind of cutoff area or will I need boots in between?

    Nice, I have a F.A.I.R. Rizzini. I think Rizzini makes them.
