    Tristar

    I am interested to hear as well.. I need a lower end gun that I won't be too upset if it gets dinged a little bit while training, doing hunt tests, or running trials.

    Benelli M2 - Problem!

    Retay has a patent on a part that prevents that "the Benelli Click" from happening.. The bolt does not return to its full position and the firing pin is just shy of hitting the primer so the gun goes click and never fires. My everyday shooter in the field is a Retay Gordion Semi-Auto 12ga..I...

    Walk-in Access Point

    Hello all, question about BLM access points and parking. I apologize if this is a silly question, but I want to follow the rules as I'm very appreciative of people letting us hunt their land. On my OnX app it has an icon for the walk in access point and I assume this is where you sign in to gain...

    Suggestions on a lighter gun

    The quick release trigger mechanism, quick unload feature, and the better recoil pad are the main differences. Is it worth the extra $300-400? Maybe, maybe not.. I don't necessarily "miss" them. The Gordion is a very fine, reliable, lightweight gun. I opt taking that over my Benelli or a Franchi...

    Suggestions on a lighter gun

    Honestly no, but I shoot 3.5" duck hunting so I am probably a bit resistant to the smaller loads lol. I also have the Masai Mara in 20ga but I carry the 12ga Gordion if that tells you anything.

    Suggestions on a lighter gun

    I highly suggest the Retay Gordion. I carried that gun all over SD and KS last season and thoroughly enjoyed it. Very nice shooting gun.

    Great choice! I too like the basic aspect... Water bottles and shells.

    Leaving Dogs In Vehicle

    Yes, I have a little Bluetooth temperature thermometer that tells the temp of the bed, so I can monitor that. Also, this is late Sep-Oct not June, July, Aug so big difference there.

    Leaving Dogs In Vehicle

    When making long 10+ hour drives in the heat, I use an icy breeze cooler/fan combo in the camper shell that is run off a deep cycle battery. Then I just refill it with ice when I stop for gas or potty break.. (y)

    Dog teeth cleaning?

    I have my dogs teeth cleaned at least once a year. In fact, I will be taking all 3 of mine next week. I firmly believe in good oral health.

    The End of Season

    I was there last weekend as well. I couldn't believe how dry it was. Literally like you said there was a dust storm coming out of the grass when you walked even with the frost on the ground. Here's my two on a 20+ covey of quail which was the biggest I have ever seen. Pretty cool. Ended up...

    Home made video recommendations

    I suggest Eric Forrester as well. He has several good dogs. Tubbs and Cici to name a couple, but Twig seems to be coming along nicely. He does a very good job of breaking down his hunts and dog work. +1 for CJR Outdoors and Claus +1 for JCW Outdoors and Sage I have seen almost every pheasant...

    2021 Pheasant Season Pictures

    Thank you Munster! These are all public land birds as I don't have any connections. I took this pic when I got back to the truck at the pull in spot. The sign was actually 5 ft behind me. I certainly wish I had private land.. maybe one day!
