JonnyB (Jon age 86) and Dakotazeb (George age 78) got together for a SW Minnesota hunt today. We saw a few birds but no roosters within shooting range. I hadn't seen jonnyB in several years so it was nice to see him again and also meet his wife. We will have to make this an annual event going...

Murph, at 61 you are still a young pup. But every year from here on out you will feel the aging process. And when you hit 70 it's only going to speed up. Unfortunately those are just the facts of life. The body just isn't what it use to be. Complications start to appear like Diabetes, Afib...

Where do you live? It shouldn't matter to just ship a barrel but you should still be able to have it shipped to FFL in your area.

Here's a nice 26" vent rib barrel choked Skeet. That choke would be fine for pheasants also...

I think he wants to shoot skeet too.

What breed is your brother's dog?

What do you mean "no difference"? It certainly will changing to a standard 2 3/4" barrel. You will be able to shoot non-magnum shells. The standard barrel has two gas ports, the 3" magnum barrel only has one.

There are also some 1100 barrels on GunBroker.com Probably going to set you back $200-300 but will give you a much more serviceable shotgun. Good luck.

I think your best solution is to buy a standard 1100 12 ga. barrel for 2 3/4" shells. The receivers are the same on the Magnum and non-Mag so a standard 12 ga. barrel will work and allow you to shoot lighter loads. There are a lot of used 1100 barrels on eBay. Some with vent rib and some...

Since you are in central Indiana I would check with the guys with NSTRA in the area. NSTRA's national headquarters are in Danville and the Indiana Region has some trials coming up in the Indianapolis area. If you would visit one of their trials I'm confident you could get some good advice on...

I hear you guys when you complain about the size of the 550. More than most of us need. I have the Garmin Alpha but it has way more functions that I need or will ever use. Plus the size is also larger than I'd like. So how about the SportDog TEK 1.5 LT? Cheaper than the 550 or Alpha with a...

Go to this site and watch Steve's video presentation on the Pathfinder 2. https://www.gundogsupply.com/dogtra-pathfinder-2.html

On Gun Dog Supply's web site it says the Pathfinder is Smartwatch compatible with iOS and Android.

All I've ever worn for years are Merino wool socks in my hunting boots. Either alone or with a moisture wicking inner sock.

I've had Brittants for nearly 30 years. If it's not too warm and the dog is in "hunting condition" they should be able to go most of the day. I've had dogs that could hunt all day but my current Brit has one speed (pedal to the metal) and is pretty much done in 2-3 hours. But that's okay with...

Turkey, one more than one occasion. Quite the surprise for both the dog and myself when it flushed. Looked like a 747 taking off.

In my nearly 70 years of pheasant hunting I have found the exact opposite to be true. Pheasants always seem to be wilder on windy days.

I don't see that wind speed should effect your choke choice. Only unless your shots are being taken at longer ranges.
