Yeah, if you're going to use steel, you're going to need a lot bigger shot. Like road scholar said, I think it's two sizes bigger than you would normally use in lead. I'll probably catch some crap, but If I was loading for pheasants in a 20, I'd go with all I could get in a 3'' casing of at...

This stuff might not work for all injuries. Or at all ages. Pepper is pushing 9 and a hard driver for feathers and fur. I know that one success does not equal a long study. But for Pepper in worked great. I went from considering taking her to some kind of specialist to now wishing she would slow...

Oh ho, be careful or it won't be OUR dog. When I met my wife, she said she didn't really like dogs. Now, I have to pry the dogs out of her arms to go hunting

I've found that a puppy helps with the grief of losing one. Not a replacement just happiness.

The Bernardelli Game cock also falls nicely into my criteria but have never seen one in person.

I'm staying out of it but I will say that I don't agree with freezing kitties!:sneaky: And what's WWRD mean?

I am considering a new or used 20 sxs, probably this spring. Probably needs to be under 3k to keep things tolerable with the wife. Here's my criteria. under 6 lbs. 26'' to 24'' tubes would like choke tubes but not a deal breaker That doesn't sound too hard to find but haven't seen to many yet...

You know, I was a pretty wild kid. Shooting over the limit if I could, poached a few deer and ducks. But never did I ever kill something and leave it lay. That takes a special kind of dumb ass! I remember shooting a goose with a 22. I was probably 10. I sat in the basement for hours trying to...

I live and hunt near the local F.W.A. so yeah, I've been checked multiple times. Once I forgot my wallet and the C.O. just laughed and said I didn't look much like a poacher anyway. All but one were pretty pleasant. Years ago we had a new one with a chip on his shoulder. I was basically just...

Ever wonder what Goosemaster might really mean? Maybe his thumbs are sore?

That makes my legs hurt just thinking about it.

Maybe, but I'm talking about all around ease of ownership. Not particularly performance. I will say though that some of the female pointers I've owned had more performance than I wanted.

No, I have Monrow reservoir, Patoka Lake in my back yard. I'm not very good on the big lakes anyway.

How much snow you all got? I'm in southern Indiana, about an hour north of KY. Looks like around a foot now. Not quitting until around 2 this afternoon. Not going to get above freezing for a couple weeks. That's not going to help the few wild quail we have left!!

I haven't owned a male in years. I built my run on the outside of my garage with the houses on the inside. Within one generation of dogs the two males had big places ate through the tin from piss. Not to mention killing every plant or bush on the corners of the landscape. Not that females won't...
