I'd tell them just to protect their stock and reputation, and perhaps to get some consideration on your purchase. Your call.

OK, then.... From now on out, it's your fault if he's hunting with you. My best wishes for a shorter learning curve for you in the future. Be well.

Uh, this might seem simplistic, or even offensive, but don't show anger at the dog. Just quit whatever you're doing, and put him away for a while as you calm down. As others have mentioned, use the spark on your collar as seldom as possible. Remember, the dog wants to please you. Most training...

Do you carry water for the dog? Some serious weight there. And those darned pheasants weigh a ton! (I've taken to just wing shooting them, and then put a leash on them and making them walk WITH me.) Be safe. ;)

Relax... It'll get worse.

:rolleyes:

My favorite shotgun is probably a youth model Beretta A39120 gauge that I bought my son about 20 years ago. It's lightweight and fast-handling. I'm comfortable and confident with it. How does a 20 gauge work on wild pheasants? Would #5 shot work? Should I go with #4? If you are comfortable and...

Outstanding! er...did it ever occur to you that it might be too pretty to hunt with? just sayin'

#5s and #6s on the State hunting land for pheasants; #4s and #5s in steel for jump shooting ducks; #2 and #4s steel for goose (been a while) and #4s and #5s lead for turkey. Most often 20ga, occasionally 12ga for turkey and goose in lead and steel respectively. Rarely 3in for ducks, most often...

Beautiful guns! Just wonderful. I've still got my first shotgun, a Winchester 1897 30in, full, made in ?1937?. I got it in 1964 for $40 and used it exclusively until I picked up my AYA sxs. But looking at these guns, and the price tags implied or shown, I gotta think if you ever used one for...

Well, we'd miss you A5. Uh, who would take Ace? (just wonderin' ) :)

Hey there, Doc!!! Nice to meetcha! Boy, have you got a life ahead of you! Enjoy every minute, 'cuz the Big Guy has already had vision of your partnership with him. It's going to be quite a ride. Be safe.

You commented on the good, the bad, and the ugly...but you forgot to dwell on the Wonderful ! kids college graduation Nice work, Tom. :)

I've always had GWPs over the last 35 years,but a very good friend bought a Drat. Beautiful dog. She and her husband were going on a trip and asked me to work with the dog while they were gone. When she returned to pick up the pup, we took a walk along the crik. A wood duck popped up and Citori...

If GunnR could speak your language, he might have told you to park closer to pheasants in the past. Whole thing probably seemed practical and simple to him. Nice work (both of you). :)

found a thread on Huntingpa.com dealing with this. Much the same responses, but the OP on this site followed up with this: "As a follow up, a liberal coating of Desitin before taking him out seems to be working better than any thing else I have tried. He is in the house so I only apply just...

:giggle:

Depends on what I'm hunting. Pheasants? Same load. Jump-shooting ducks? Smaller steel shot on IC, larger on the Mod barrel. In part, that's because I've got a box of #6 Steel and don't think much of its effectiveness; but I'm only hunting wood ducks on a crik, with an occasional Mallard...

And I just noticed it today! Must be this old age thing.
