Nice three year old. A little shy of 22 pounds. Inch and a quarter spurs. Not much to brag about on the beard 9 1/4. It had two buff colored tail feathers.9 yards with an old single shot 20.

Yeah, I liked the feel and shot moving targets pretty good with the G2. But a turkey head is a different story. I thought about the newer Intermediate but won't take the chance on being 0 for 3...

Upland ultralight update. Sent it back. They received it in Nov. After about 2 months I received an email informing me that they were awaiting a new gun and would let me know when they would ship it. After 2 more months and my patience running thin, I called (not exactly an easy task) and was...

Looks like an Eastern. Is there a difference? And were the Easterns transplanted or migrated there?

Good job Dustin, most folks would have given up.

Welcome, enjoy.

Factory shot shells don't really need to be stored in a climate-controlled area. I pulled out some 12 gauge shells that have been in the garage for 20 plus years. last year and they shot fine. All my shells are stored in a file cabinet. pistol and rifle shells in the house.

I'll be hitting the woods April the 26th. Thinking about it daily!!

If they weren’t so heavy I’d still be shooting one. This was my favorite trap gun. My wife’s dad was a devout trap shooter. She bought this one from an old friend of her dads for my birthday many years ago. It’s a built-up field grade. Pictures don’t do the wood justice. Wood was done by a...

I shot my 1st o/u top barrel 1st for years before I found out I was supposed to shoot the bottom barrel 1st. I switched but didn't notice any difference.

Also, great whiskey, Dale Hollow and numerous other beautiful lakes, beautiful mountains, great weather and the friendliest hillbillies in the nation.

I think it's flush/bird shy. It may have been natural or could have been caused without you even knowing it. Maybe just raising your voice when it was chasing a bird when a puppy. Hopefully you didn't use a shock collar?? At three years old a fix may be futile. I would try using another dog with...

Welcome Tweeter. I love your state and hope to see it again soon.

I've seen three truly outstanding non flushing pheasant dogs. I was lucky enough to own 2 of those. One was a big female Wire that was very close. She hunted ground sent and was about 50/50 point or flush. One was a shorthair male that had a great nose. He would lock up on the slightest sent and...

If I'm not mistaken, they would need dual citizenship. The only exception would be the South American dogs. They can come over all they want and get free vet visits for life.. :confused:
