    New Sock Observation

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

    How long

    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...

    Oddest Animal Pointed Ever

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

    Choking for Wind

    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.

    Choking for Wind

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

    Bird Processor in Aberdeen?

    I found a place in Aberdeen called Ringneck Cleaners but I am unable to find any contact info. I'd suggest that you check with the motel you are staying at. If they cater to hunters they will likely have some names of bird cleaners. I think a general cost is $5-6 per bird.

    A5 16gauge

    You will enjoy the light weight of the new Sweets. Although my 1960 Sweet with 26" ribbed barrel in just a tad over 7 lbs. Both great guns but I prefer the new one due to the weight and choke tubes. I'm not a fan of Prairie Storm ammo. I'd recommend the Federal HV Upland loads or the Fiocchi...

    A5 16gauge

    I've had my new A5 SweetSixteen since they first were available. I have never had a jam or a fail to fire and I've put all kinds of ammo through it. For hunting I use mainly Fiocchi Golden Pheasant 5's and 6's, but also some Federal PF high velocity loads, Federal regular 1 1/8 oz., Kent 1 oz...

    Ithaca Mod 37 16 ga. Mod choke pattern?

    IC or Mod, very little difference. And choke constriction can vary by gun. What you have is perfect for pheasants. Buy some good #5 or #6 shot and you will be good to go.

    Need some help my best bud lost his hearing

    It's tough hunting with a deaf dog and can lead to some anxious moments. I had a deaf Brittany that got lost in heavy cover and cattails. Took some time to find him. You can vibrate them and shock them but if they can't see you they have no idea where you are. Years ago I also had a friend...

    Dog Starting Heat Cycle - Bring for SD Opener ?

    I think you have gotten your answer. Leave her home for this trip. You can bring her when you come back in two weeks. Sorry for the bad timing but I guess that goes with having an intact female hunting dog.

    Finished Dog Questions

    I would second that! The owner/trainer should be able to answer all of your questions. They will know the dog better than any of us on this forum.
