Show you what? A collar conditioned well mannered dog that is trained to not chase everything under the sun? Would you be surprised to learn he sits/freezes on my shot and waits to be sent for the bird? 😉 Its a crazy thing I know, training a dog to listen and not just chase every bird/critter...

In front of? Never. Behind me when the dog isnt looking? Every single time. I tell him no bird and sit him while i go retrieve it and put it away. Mine doesnt chase rabbits, he stops and watches them run off. So no help in how to stop that

Do the big dogs hunt well, by that I mean go in/under cover and hunt? Evey 100lb "hunting" dog ive seen has been a fat lab that trotted and got tired in 15 minutes and took every easy path there was. A barrel with legs as I call them. My male is a big breed American lab, was supposed to be...

This is a very interesting discussion. I wonder if sunlight is a major factor? I've had a limbsaver slip on pad on an american arms stock for almost 10 years now and i just checked, no change. It doesnt get much use though, maybe one hunting trip every 2 years.

I was just watching yellowstone wardens yesterday and they checked a phez hunter from your area. He put three roosters and a sharpie on the tailgate and my immediate reaction was "holy cow those are TINY!" Definitely didnt look like midwest birds, i see how a 25" tail would be rare.

How about starting off the video in living room, then music while getting gear ready, then showing truck footage driving, then talking about how they are going to hunt once they get to the parking lot, then more music and slow mo footage of the dogs entering the field. Lol those are impossible...

Anyone remember the 30" pots at the Iowa bars? There were just a couple left when i started hunting, but I've been told they were everywhere back in the 80s. You put in $5-10 to the pot and the first person to bring in a bird with 30" tail wins the pot

Its genetics. Just like spur length. I hunt a spot that every rooster that isnt a first year bird will have a 25-26"+ tail but maybe 1/4" spurs. Then i hunt another spot a county over that is the opposite, be lucky to ever see a 24" tail and the spurs look like turkeys. Game farm birds have...

I guess ive never heard of discoloration. Ive had a slip on limbsaver on an o/u for years and it looks just fine.

I was using shells a buddy gave me to try, we patterned, chronod, then i shot up the rest of the 2 boxes for waterfowl. I would not spend my personal money on them. I shoot my own reloads now.

I have. The 20ga ranged almost 200fps, from 1300 to mid 1400s. This was in the summer, so probably around 80F. Thats how I know it launches the hulls so far.

Theres been several reports of it on FB, boss always says its the gun fault. That stuff is too hot, way too hot.. it pings my Beretta, slams the bolt back so hard it makes a ringing sound (never had another shell do that).. and kicks hulls about 5 full feet farther than anything else. Not to...

The pheasants forever groups or boyscouts sometimes do youth hunts for youth season and they buy and plant birds on the public lands, often mix in a few black ones for that special touch

😉

The couple by me get absolutely pounded with people. Especially during dove season, the dnr likes to put dove plots on them now for some reason. The few ive hunted during dove season were full of roosters, but after a couple hundred people dove hunting and then an entire road full of trucks for...

This definitely leads me to believe your gun has a weak firing pin, the cold is just setting it over the edge. If it was an ammo issue, all of them would have FTF

15 isnt cold enough to severely alter ammo performance in modern factory ammo. Once you get to -15 then you start having primer failures. All loads will be slow at cold temps, but you wont get a FTF at those temps. Im guessing its a firing pin clearance issue due to metal shrinkage (or weak...

Just be aware it patterns extremely tight. The stoeger shoots terrible patterns which is why i have to shoot LM over SK. In my Beretta i shoot cylinder choke out to 35yds. Its actually kind of a bad thing, it means i can't mix and match shells (a lead shell then a tss) because the choking is so...
