I learned to always trust my dog no matter how much I think she is wrong. I have never had a bird dog that I could trust but she has changed that for me. Also if you think you hit the bird always follow up because most of the time you did and many times they die after hitting the...

Days like those in the slough are what keep us going again. Some days stick with us forever and some just melt together but it's those 3 shots 3 rooster days that we never forget.

Would you have to carry the 550 handheld to connect to the tt25?

Me and Maggs went south and had one of our best days of the season. We moved 4 coveys and chased singles most of the morning and early afternoon. I don't hunt late this time of the year as they need to regroup to stay warm in these temps we are getting here. Maggie was on fire and I...

Yeah I have a franchi affinity 20 and it is a pleasure to carry and shoot.

I'm thinking it may be the older version but I'm not completely sure. It's a 12 gauge and it kicks hard. I love the light weight but hate the recoil.

I have one of these and it kicks hard. I am going to try and figure out a way to put a better recoil pad on it but try to keep the LOP the same or close to the same.

Remy I have a couple friends that have the sportdog and really like them..

It sounds like most just hunt 1 or 2, I can definitely see why 2 might be a good number but I can't imagine trying to watch 3. Some of you may say it's easy but for me I just can't imagine trying to watch 3. Me and Maggie do pretty good but some day I might add another to train with Maggie.

They are 100% copper shot and they are $40 a box and there is 20 shells per box. I have heard that you can use them where none toxic shot is required but damn that is a lot per shot and with my shooting the season could get expensive! I do shoot copper plated shot and have had good results.

I'm not going to say I'm glad to see your having issues too but it is nice to know I'm not alone on these issues. I will be at pheasant fest and you can bet I will be talking to Garmin reps about the issues I'm having with mine and I agree that they should be able to design something better but...

I will try that for sure, never even gave that a thought but it is worth a try.

It is basically looking for north and pointing at times a complete 180 from where she is at. It is acting totally confused on both things.

Thanks for your experience with this issue. I have thought about calling Garmin but haven't yet because I keep thinking it will work itself out if I keep trying different things. I have also kept up on updates so I don't believe that is a problem. It seems to get better the longer we are out...

Has anyone using this combo had any issues with accuracy? It seems to struggle even after a calibration with finding Maggs. I'm just wondering if I should turn the handheld and collar off between spots, I already shut off the handheld 90% of the time but most of the time I leave the...
