I bought this vest brand new and have used it about two to three times and then hung it up. I have no complaints about it, just got busy with new kids and job. Anyways, this vest is for sale. I honestly don't remember what I paid for it so make me a reasonable offer and keep in mind, a flat fee...

My wife and I bought this beautiful female lab to add to our home, but our other dogs aren't taking it as well as we had hoped. The couple who sold her to us are splitting the sheets, so there isn't a chance of 'returning' her to her previous home. We are looking to sell her for what we paid for...

I have these two Zinger Winger Uplander G4 releases, along with the Dogtra remote and receivers for sale. I have no intention of using them and could use the space for other dust-collecting items! They are listed on Ebay with a buy-it-now price of $1,199.00 with $67.00 for shipping. If you can...

Well, as the title says, I just attended my first dog-training event over this past weekend. I went to an NSTRA event that took place over Saturday and Sunday and met some fantastic guys and made some fast friends! While I have no intention of working my dogs in an NSTRA competition, due to...

Okay all, it's been forever since I've been in here so bear with me. My wife and I just got rid of our last horse. We traded her for a bunch of stuff that will hopefully help me train my dogs more. I've got three GSPs and one Weim and they're all fairly 'birdy' but need refinement. In the trade...

Hey guys, I've got an odd question for all. I'm on the verge of getting hired on by my local County Sheriff's Department. As part of the firearms qualification mandatory for each deputy, I have to qualify with a shotgun. I can use my own if it meets requirements. I have a Franchi 612 that I...

I'm a little frustrated and bewildered. I have three dogs, two GSP's and a Weimaraner. My female GSP is 6-years old and fully trained. My other GSP and my Weim are both males at a year old. They're all awesome dogs and have their own quirks too. My question though pertains to my male GSP: He's a...

Last time we did this something got into the pen we had the birds in and killed them all. To say I was upset would be the understatement of the year!! Dang foxes. My question is a relatively simple one: Without asking for people to advertise their favorite chick source, where can I find...

I have a few bird dogs and I love the thrill of watching them work in the field. I can't think of much in the world more beautiful than a good pointing dog in the field after birds. Now that I got that out of the way, here's my question: What is the difference between how a Pointer works and how...

My wife and I finally got her. A finished female GSP that we just brought home. We hunted her in the field for about an hour with the previous owner and had a blast and she performed beautifully! I'm just trying to resist the urge to go out again with her now but we have to go into town and get...

Here's a million dollar question for anyone that knows much of anything about older shotguns: I'm looking at buying back my Dad's old Browning Superposed .12 Gauge that he bought when he was in Germany back in the 70's. He traded it to a family friend for a Sako .338. Suffice it to say the...

She finally gave in, I get to buy another dog. We're in the process of buying a second GSP. Only this one is fully-trained and has already had hundreds of birds shot over her. I can't wait to get her and take her out hunting. We'll have three dogs but it'll be well-worth the money and she will...

Can anyone suggest a decent factory steel load for pheasants and upland birds in general that I can use on the Federal WPA's? Since it's Federal I can't use lead shot so I'm looking for something effective, inexpensive but yet something that has some reach to it...

Can anyone please help me? I'm in search of a good (inexpensive) e-collar to use in training my dogs. I would prefer a Tri-Tronics but will take what is available for now. If anyone knows of anyplace (or has anything they'd be willing to part with), besides Collar Clinic, where I can find one I...

If today, opening day, is any indicator as to how the rest of my Pheasant hunting season is going to be, I'm going to sit in a corner, cradle my beautiful shotgun, rock back and forth mumbling to myself and let the tears flow. One of my dogs has separation-anxiety and wouldn't leave my side and...
