It would be less time consuming and if the vet got involved, a lot cheaper if they avoided those "points".

There has been a lot of talk about the change in the type of wheat planted, the stubble height left when it is harvested and the efficiency of farming not leaving much waste grain as well. Combine that with CRP expiration and weather and I guess we ought to be thankful that there are any birds...

I have two friends who have GSP's and they love to "point" porcupines. Then we spend a half hour pulling out quills. Strangest thing they have pointed is an armadillo.

Welcome to the fray. I have hunted KS for 38 years and have seen every combination of weather and habitat I think is possible. Where are you located?

See? The memory is the second thing to go on a man. I don't remember what the first was.

A friend and I hunted near Pierre, SD and Mobridge, SD last October. Tough hunting in areas we were familiar with. Gas prices didn't help either. Then a group of us hunted Great Bend, KS in late November. Again, tough. Then, just to show we were gluttons for punishment, we hunted GB in late...

Shoot some and then form your opinion. My wife got me some in 10 ga for geese a few years ago. The stuff is wicked and the range far exceeds that of lead. I have not used any upland hunting, but using it in both 10 and 12, I am a believer.

As an aside, try NoRoma odor eliminator if bowser chews on a stinky. You will have to contact the manufacturer for a local source. http://threeleafinc.com/ Very benign copper based deodorant that works on all organic odors. A friend of mine had his lab hosed down by a skunk. He was driving...

Check the local regs. I live in a university town that allows the use of BB and pellet guns on vermin, but prohibits SHOOTING a bow in city limits.
