You can raise them with cats, and they will be fine, but all bets are off in the field. The dog in my profile picture would get our cat down and mouth him until he was soaked with slobber. She would kill anything with hair in the field.

That's what I get for not turning on the sound. Looks just like the old Fiskars.

You've kept a knife for 30 years? I can't even keep a wife for that long!

Sort of, only I come in from the rear and cut out the whole backbone. Those are the original Fiskars shears. They were great. The newer ones are pretty good.

That is true. But anytime dogs are bread for a desired trait there will be occasional dog with more of that trait than desired. Guard dogs are bread to do just that. For example, certain breeds and crosses account for a great deal of the amount of dog bites. That's because unlike Germany, in the...

Fiskars game shears. Ran into a couple guides in a cleaning room some 40 years ago. Those guys could clean a Phez before I could get one out of my vest. Clip both wings and one foot off. Rip the skin off. A cut down each side of the backbone. pull out the innards and chuck in a cooler. I do...

I bet cleanup was like shoveling horse turds.

I would bet akp nailed it. Maybe wild means they run around all night fighting drinking whisky and smoking dope!

Bought an Orvis vest. Don't remember the model but was all waxed cotton with lots of storage and a big, zippered mesh pouch in back. Knew as soon as I unwrapped it that it was heavy. Wore it twice and gave it to my grandson. Them young legs and back can handle it.

I never have but I've noticed a lot of old grills sitting around some of the dives I've stayed at. Always figured some guys grilled some pheasants and left the grill.

Not sure what you mean by shorter. Scoped means that they make a very small incision and run in a camera and Dremel (for lack of medical terms) and grind down the Cartlidge that's poking out the side. If you've ever seen two pieces of steel that have been rubbing hard on each other for years...

Possible. Many years ago, my buddy's young shorthair was a great dog with a soft mouth. One day he got spurred in the mouth enough to make to bleed. From that day on he made dammed sure they were dead before he brought them back. No attempt to eat them just a couple hard bone crushing chomps.

Hmmm. I've had both A.C.L.'S replaced and one meniscus repair. It's been about 35 and 25 years since. I'm just now having some pain oddly in the most recent one. The best braces will be the ones that hinge in the knee with solid braces on the sides, but I don't think that will solve it after...

Nothing is too tight for late season. Unless a guy is near pro level, you'll get some variances in pattern placement. I like the shoot the sheet method. Nail up an old sheet or big piece of paper with a dash of paint on it. Step back about 10 yards. Shoulder and shoot quick but not rushed until...

Probably all or most of us have seen that shot. It's as close as there is to a clean miss and still wind up with a bird in the vest.
