    Lab guys sorry but....

    IMO, at the end of the day, as long as you harvest what you are after or pass the test that you enter, and are enjoying the process, that’s all that really matters.

    Upland strap vest you can load birds in

    Chief vests seem to work well. It can be customized to your liking. Expensive. Front loading. Too warm at times? Maybe.

    Worst things that happened while hunting ?

    One other funny one… I lost my cell phone in a field. It was in a cell phone holder the became detached from my vest. Luckily it was not windy. Went to my friends house and he and 2 other guys were kind enough to come back to the field and help look. And, luckily, the ringer was on. An...

    Worst things that happened while hunting ?

    I also lost a dog for an hour about 15 years ago. Missed a rooster. That disappeared over a hill. The dog went after it for the retrieve and his e collar shut off due to battery. Talk about a sickening feeling! It was really windy that day too. A friend suggested blowing a whistle and that...

    Worst things that happened while hunting ?

    This year , struggling to walk through cover over my head. Couldn’t see what was in front of me. Took a step and literally fell over into a washout area that was 3’-4’ deep. Landed horizontal to the ground on my gun. My head hit the receiver and I almost knocked myself out!

    How many shells?

    Using an over/under, 2 in the gun and 8 in my vest. Limit here is 3 and birds usually are spread out and flush as singles.

    Ground swatting

    IMO it’s a bad idea to shoot any upland game on or near the ground with dogs around.

    Golden Retriever question

    I haven’t see them hunting here in Colorado. There are several that belong to and participate in the local HRC club.

    All My Shotguns

    My first O/U was a CZ Southpaw Sterling. Worked well initially and then started discharging both barrels with 1 trigger pull. Set that gun aside for several years and pulled it back out this year with the same result. Contacted CZ 3 weeks ago and they sent shipping paperwork. Sent the gun off...

    Increasing distance of point

    A flusher may be more desirable in heavy cover. I’m not sure though.

    Increasing distance of point

    I think that there a southern Colorado HRC club, possibly based out of Pueblo? The retrieving stuff is generally the same. Their upland test requires the dog to flush the bird and then be steady to wing and shot. At one time I thought having a pointing lab would be the greatest! I purposely...

    Looking for a black lab puppy.Not paying more than 500.

    I’ll leave the dogs’ crates in the back of the suv with the doors of the crates off and the back door of the suv open. I’ll often find them in the crate napping.

    Thanks for the update. Are you planning on running the pup in APLA tests?
