If it tracks & flushes rabbits, it will eventually track & flush birds if it is exposed enough. My first dogs when I moved away from home was a pair of half sister beagles born a day apart. My mothers vet in FL had them & they were the runts of the two litters. They were bred to run deer. I live...

The only problems I have had with ES, EP, or Britts, or beagles getting cold is if they got soaked. Like 30*, with sleet & wind. Hunted all 4 breeds in below zero with snow with no problems. If you are going to hunt EPs in the cold tho, you better not keep them in a 72* house. The 2 PPs that I...

I still do not have a build date for my new truck. It will now be a 2026. Mileage on the 2015 is now 131K as I drove it to Montana through the UP of MI & back home to Toledo. Price drop to $18444. My dealer will take your trade in & get you financed if you have good credit.

I hunted out of Syracuse for 3 days last January. We had porky contacts 2 of the 3 days. 2 dogs quilled, one twice. The landowner says he sees them a lot. He even has baled some up while haying. Pulled up stakes & headed a little farther East.

My buddy bought a Pyke last year & liked it so well that he gave me his Wing Works strap vest. I do not have a problem going from spot to spot with a strap vest. I simply hang it from the clothes hook that is above the back door. Easy on, easy off. The only knock I have on the WW is that the...

1100 special field, especially if you can find one with the 21” barrel instead of the 23”

1970 F100? I had a 250 in that Ford true blue color. 4 speed & 360

I could not tell you the breeding without having my buds doing some digging in their paperwork. I can tell you this tho, I got my dog in Ohio, one bud got his in ND, & the other got his in KS. Those are the states we live in. All 3 dogs have the same grandsire!! I used to have a pic of the...

Goose. You are in the IOWA forum!!!

By this time of year the WIHA Atlas are generally gone at the wmarts/scheels/cabelas. Go to a smaller sporting goods store or gunshop or a state park office, etc. The gunshop in Ottawa told me he gets the same amount of Atlas’s that the Wmart does!

I have had them all. Drat, PP, ES, GS, GSP, WH, Visla, Spinoni, more than one of most of them. The PP that I had was a terrific pet/house dog, but I have had 3 buddys that have had them & they all had terrible luck with PPs. I have had over 20 Brits & over 20 EPs. I am shocked that nobody...

I played intercollegiate golf at UCF on the inaugural golf team. Hit 200 balls or played 9 holes every day. I have played twice since then. Dumbest game in the world. And definitely not a sport!

I looked this up on the internet years ago & the answers were NO. That being said, you can find anything you want to find on the net. My advice is try it!
