    Pro vs. Cons

    My setter doesn’t mind the thick stuff and I’ve never shaved her nor given her a haircut. That’s false, earlier this year she had burrs so bad I to cut em out for an hour. She keeps warm even after standing chest deep in water. Do you shave your dog? Other than that our dogs sound remarkably...

    Chokes matter?

    Oh! And the preserve required nothing bigger that 7 shot. We normally shoot 5’s.

    Chokes matter?

    Agree BB, I’m the son of a gun nut who is partial to old shotguns. You see what I like to shoot. I reckon (and hope) my son does too.

    Chokes matter?

    Great response to this thread! There were 4 hunters total, 1 dog. We had 8 pheasant, 20 quail put out. I was always in the middle with my dog, who hunted great btw. It seemed every bird flew towards my son, meaning his side of the line. I personally saw this young man have THE best day...

    Chokes matter?

    It was noticeable today. And on top of it all, it seemed every bird we got up flew toward him and he dropped em one after the other. I’m one proud papa.

    Chokes matter?

    They did this morning. Went to a pheasant preserve with my 16 yr old son. He hasn’t shot at a bird since Thanksgiving and he’s so so on his shooting. This morning he’s hitting everything, pheasants and quail, in front behind and sideways. Didn’t matter where, he was putting them down. I’m...

    Where to go in December?

    Ran into this mid November. Big beautiful dried up cattail with grass around the edges. Birds blowing out 100 yards up. Must a been a hundred or more. Did knock one down but couldn’t find. My dog does not retrieve and not the best at finding a down bird. Let alone in thick cover polluted...

    Basheiri&Pellagri ammo

    Bought a couple boxes of upland classic 12’s #6. Advertised as lower pressures for older classic guns. Got an old Fox well over 100yrs old I plan on shooting. Used RST before but they out of stock. I reckon they’ll kill. Anybody ever heard anything about em? Saw an ad in SportsAfield

    Still after birds

    Rough public ground that’s been our nemesis in the past. Wear yer chaps. Gotta work for them and I’ve missed 2 in last few years. Shady dog was unbelievable. We worked this bird for quite awhile, kept running away. I had to loop bigger and bigger around her points to finally get him. Best...

    SD trip 2023

    In the trenches farmer here. Don’t like the pay to hunt either. The bigger question is why so few farmers hunt? Hardly any do around here. I’m sure some do but I don’t know any. Lack of hunters and their not voting is the biggest threat. Keep yer powder dry and run em to me.
