Check out Steve's review on the GunDog Supply web site about the TEK 1.5 collars. There are also some reviews from people that are using the collars. https://www.gundogsupply.com/sportdog-tek-1-5lt.html

I know that SportDog has some issues with their early models of the TEK but I haven't heard of any issues lately. Maybe they got those resolved with the TEK 1.5.

Hard to beat a Blue River pup. Ken Hanson has great Springers.

If you google "Garmin 550 plus holster" you will get quite a few options. Or take a look at these options from Gun Dog Supply. https://www.gundogsupply.com/garmin-pro-holsters.html

Well said. (y)

The Alpha has a lot of features, many that you will probably never use. The 550 Plus is simplier and would likely do everything you need. The only downside I see is the larger transmitter. Have you looked at the SportDog TEK collars?

Here's another in Nebraska. https://wunderbarweims.weebly.com/

Are you still located in Rapid City? There is a Weimaraner breeder in SW Nebraska that you might call. I personally know nothing about this breeder, don't even know if tthey are still in business. But you might try giving them a call...

The Ultimate is one of the new A5's that comes in 12 or 16 gauge. They will handle any of the loads you listed with no problems.

Anyone try these boots from Danner? https://www.danner.com/element-8-brown.html Actually the reviews on them don't look that good. :(

You probably couldn't find a worse place in South Dakota for bird hunting. Unless you want to drive 100+ miles east or north of the Deadwood/Lead area. Also, that time of year in that area you could have a fair amount of snow.

They may be great for the younger crowd. But like the Kenetrek's, they tend to be quite stiff. Way too stiff for old feet for upland hunting.

Before O/U shotguns had barrel selectors they always fired the bottom barrel first. Ya think they might have known something??? :)

https://www.crispiusa.com/upland-pro?size=8&width=d&color=brown Let me know how they work out. I may may need a new pair of boots this fall. I've got hard to fit "old feet". Glad to see they come in a EE width.
