She's going to be perfect for you. You already made most of the mistakes we all make, and you have firm vision of what you expect. She will be happy to oblige you. :D

I'll just take a little side-trip next time you let me out. Here you go: Hey, I was getting bored, okay?

I carry the shotgun at (roughly) port arms and cock it as I am bringing it up to my shoulder to track and shoot. I practice bringing the gun up while cocking it at home, and mounting to my shoulder and tracking the front bead along the junction of wall and ceiling. I want to ingrain the muscle...

I have four singles, two Hercules and two "other"; all have exposed hammers. Not really an issue for me, although I'm not surprised when a glove doesn't pull the hammer back as I'm raisng the gun to track a bird. Part of the package. Do love them though, not only for the lightness of the gun and...

Must be neat to those who like it: Link: https://www.google.com/search?q=driven+shooting+pheasants++UK&client=firefox-b-1-d&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwi-rY-d1sH2AhWPIDQIHTHJA60Q_AUoAnoECAEQBA&biw=1265&bih=865 But I fear I am a colonial "Rough Shooter" and generally don't like crowds...

Just....great. Thank you (and Ace).

Re-reading thread, it occurred to me that one of the long distance aviators had a teddy bear in the cockpit she named "Dammit." That's an endearment I have used occasionally when hunting. Just seems appropriate for the moment.

RedDog... You GOTTA read "Run, Rainey, Run." , by Mel Ellis. Out of print, but available from some used book sellers. Great true stories of a GSP and an outdoor writer/editor (Ellis was with the Milwaukee Journal and a Field Editor for Sports Afield), and their adventures with upland game and...

Thank You, BD... I'm good. Appreciate you thinking of me. Be safe.

Hey there, Allis, nice to see you here. Read, enjoy, use the "search" function, and tell long stories with many pictures. Be safe.

Thanks BDC and birddude, My use of the collar is so rare, I'll just nurse the old Tritronics along, and maybe just get a cheapie from eBay. Of all my dogs, only Young Bert, the not-right dog, needed encouragement to return to me and my hunting priorities...and that was very seldom. I'm...

Don't need much and don't use much, but I consider it insurance out in the field. My old collar worked fine--until it did't. It might have felt neglected. Message with type and cost. Thanks. No hurry.

My only experiences with a 28ga is watching two friends of mine shoot. They were strangers to each when I introduced them on a hunt, and coincidentally they both used 28 BPS guns. The only similarity I noticed with them is that they were both excellent field shooters and had gravitated to the...

55? 55 is nothing !!! It's hardly even a speed limit anymore. You are a ute...er...hang on...(spell check)...youth !!! Each hunt will echo those of years ago and the dog work will hearken back to the great dogs you've worked with in your career. Welcome Sir. Please post life stories and...

I'm loving Ace. Great pictures and seems like a great season. Nicely done.

My empathy and sympathy Reddog. That couch picture makes me think that there should be a section in dog competions: "Couch Lounging." Breeze would provide some tough competition.

I was going through old posts and came across this. Lord, I do miss Mick. Dogs which have left me still live in my head and heart. Be well.

GREAT hunting and reassuring report. Nice work for the dogs. Great memory for the hunter. Nicely done. :) (y):)
