    What is a good quail hunt?

    Sounds like you had a great hunt! 5 big covies will keep a young dog busy for a while. This is a subjective topic- gonna get all kinds of numbers. For me, here in Texas- 10 covies is good day. 5 in the morning, 5 in the evening with lunch and a nap during midday🤣🤣! Our holy grail is 20 plus/...

    GSP getting cut up

    It could be cause she’s young or could be her style of running… too early to tell! Our TGK shorthairs do not run like this- they grew out of it fairly early. Our rusty clown shorthairs - run super hard like this! We pick and choose who gets to run depending on size and type of cover we are in.

    Beretta A400 20 gauge extreme+

    how the shotgun fits you is going to have the biggest impact on how it shoots for you. With that said, I prefer to shoot beretta over benelli simply cause it fits me better. The beretta will have a noticeably longer butt than the benelli and will surely impact your shooting one way or the other.
