Sounds like you have found a little piece of heaven. You should get great local advice from the pf fbb, whom you contacted. Any chance you have cattle operating close . Pheasants do great in winter near feed lots! Good luck!

Have gotten separated twice before I used e collars 2 times , and lost track of collar less retriever . If your dog is alive you at leAst nick them . Hopefully they will yelp and you on can track towards the sounds!

Abbey road …. I have hunted with a lot of Brittany and French Brittany owners. I sought advice from a 30 year dog training pro in my quest between Brittany and French Brittany. I have friends whose Brittany’s were terrible on retriever work. I believe based on his comments that those Brittany...

Well mara5 in addition to losing the benelli above in this thread. I did the same thing with a citori too!!!!! Always put dogs away first back to the truck close to a busy road . Talked to a pf guy I knew. Heard something side off the top of my suv, and watch the citori roll on the gravel road...

Man oh man ! I did almost the same damn thing nearly 20 years a ago. Called the sheriff in that area the next day. He said they’d drive over . No luck ….. before Craig’s list . So ran an ad for a reward in the local news paper.. it was a 20 gauge benelli! Sorry and good luck ! Maybe someone here...

Had one of those in 12 gauge. And I really struggled with it ….‘I ended up believing that the short barrels contributed to poor shooting.

Thanks !

Kent upgraded their bismuth several years ago, it has new chemistry. It is less likely to fracture than the competition. That said other mfg. may have moved to the new alloy, I can’t say?

Tom glad you got to go and the learning your pup gained will imprint for ever! Hope you can get up in January!

I thought birds were decent in the mott area I had access to/. No where near the hey day if 15–17 years ago. Hope you had fun

550 plus works perfect for training and knowledge of dog whereabouts. I think you have to carry a phone for emergencies. The onX system keeps you tracking back to your truck, and from keeping you from trespassing, on said phone.

Kansan nice “longtail “!!!

Back home after a week plus of bird chasing in western ND! Had a great time ! Weather was tough on an old guy . Hands just freeze in those windy conditions below 10 degrees. My lab was just terrific, several retrieves were beyond amazing! The new French Brittany still is gun shy and blinks on...

Likely paper short 2.5 inch shells?

Look at the tail -old bird

Weim and chestie are spot on with their comments. A couple unmentioned adds, sloughs were farmed around, as older farm equipment could not overcome bogs. No laser leveling of fields to “ clean “ weedy area. We don’t know the total consequences of pesticides or herbicide use so prevalent...

Congratulations

You’d have to be one tough dude to have hunted today in North Dakota. Gusts were expected to hit up to 65 mph! Temps where I’m at topped to a balmy 21! 🥶

I attended EB trails and met breeders in the west over the last five years before I purchased a started female in January of this year. My opinion they need to be a house dog, they need the connection to their family. They can’t tolerate a heavy handed training regimen, but are eager to learn ...

Snow did not stick ,’just 50’mph bb’s . Likely landed In Minnesota?;(
