    Good to know. I wonder what the mpg would be on the interstate in MT where the posted speed limit is 80MPH.

    F150

    Me too...a 1993 F150 4X4 I bought new for $16,400. The only problem I had was the slave cylinder for the clutch would rupture when it was -40 degrees or colder, so I did not drive it during cold snaps up in Alaska.

    Since your breed goldens, I wonder if you can answer this question. >99 percent of goldens are wonderful, gentle dogs, <1% attack other dogs. There have been several attacks by male goldens at field trials in the past decade. One attack occurred during the photo session at the Golden Specialty a...

    Training program for Goldens?

    I don't like Fowl Dawgs because Rick is constantly yelling and repeating his commands. For upland hunting, silence is golden

    Training program for Goldens?

    For upland, I think the most important thing is a daily solo puppy walk in a wild area. Solo, just you and pup...no other dogs or people. Pup learns to explore, becomes bolder, and most importantly pays attention to where you are at all times. Pup becomes bonded to you in the field. An...

    What is the best pair of boots you ever owned for hunting pheasants?

    Looking for a New O/U

    I have a 12 gauge and a 20 gauge Citori and no problems in 40 years. The Citori Cynergy is a good choice with no wood to worry about. I shot my friends Cynergy and like it.

    Take a step back and realize what you've got

    I retired 5 years ago and am living the dream....enjoying each morning hunting with the dog. Yesterday I whiffed on a rooster the dog pinned down at the creek edge, but the dog had fun! The sights I see amaze me. Yesterday I was within 10 meters of 3 otters for a minute or 2, saw hundreds of...

    Ammo in cold weather

    In Fairbanks you used to get a -40 below club patch if you shoot skeet at 40 below or colder. I suspect your firing pin has issues, not ammo.

    Let's see pics of your bird hunting truck or SUV set up!

    I pulled out the back seat on my Silverado crewcab which gave me more heated room for winter. My wet lab thanked me.
