    2023/2024 Pheasant Hunting Videos

    Interesting video - especially like the "last resort wader" part! You're avid, Bob. Let the Golden's loose and they'll find them every time.

    Snow depths near Geddes/Armour

    What were the road conditions in that area? Limited? Were you able to hunt sloughs? Assume the birds weren't running in the cattails.

    20 g benelli M3

    "Limbsaver" has a pad that's 5/8" thick - grind to fit; thinnest pad I've found. Not an M3??

    20 g benelli M3

    I'm not sure they are interchangeable...I tried to use the M3 stock on my M2 and it didn't work. They do make it a challenge to employ a different recoil pad than the Benelli pad. I wrote about this in a previous message...

    Coconut Oil - removes cockleburs!

    Brent: On my Golden I use a spray bottle with conditioner and water, heavy on the conditioner. Also, I employ electric clippers around the chest and under the legs and belly. The burrs come rather easy, it's the fuzzy grass that sticks to the skin that's tough to remove, even with oil. With...

    Losing confidence in dog

    Only a year old...perhaps your expectations are too high. Tell us about her training - intro. to birds, prey drive etc.. I'm sure there's still a lot of puppy in her and she gets distracted and/or disinterested. Talk to your trainer about what you are experiencing - they might have some good...

    2023 Season

    Warmers on the wrists...doesn't that burn the skin? Or are they on top of long underwear? I put double packets in the heavy gloves on my left hand. On the right, I found heated glove liners work well; they are very thin and require an over glove. Found stretch gloves at Menards that work...

    20 g benelli M3

    Your M3 recoil pad sort of peels off, leaving a void in the stock. You can fill that void (temporarily) with a wood insert or plastic, to make it level with the end of the stock. I used some extra foam rubber I had on hand, along with masking tape and fashioned my own pad adding foam as...

    20 g benelli M3

    Can sympathize with your situation. I've removed the recoil pad on all my guns for cold weather hunting. On one gun (M2) I replaced the pad with a very thin one - these are available on line. Next spring I'll reinstall the regular pads. You may have to fabricate an insert to the back of the...

    After Thanksgiving report

    Sjohn: Sounds like you had a grand time of it! However, I was wondering - 15 in possession limit per hunter, would be 60. According to your post you had 62. Isn't that over the limit?

    Golden Retriever question

    I would add: Golden's have an amazing nose and are dynamite on cripples. No bias here either!

    Golden Retriever question

    I'll second Cyclone's comment - just bought my 6th Golden; 7 month's old, with Top Brass and Brass-fire in her background. First female! MN Golden dogs are getting very expensive - might be the reason one doesn't see many? And they work very well for me and for those that hunt with me.

    The good.. the bad…and the ugly

    It's fun to watch the dog point - always enjoyed Max's points. Glad Raven is getting it figured out...flashes of brilliance! Look forward to hunting with you and Raven again one day.
