    Victor Dog Food

    The two guys that started Victor literally built their own plant themselves. They were there from the ground up. Never had a recall while they owned it. They sold it to a private equity firm in 2020. I now see how that worked out. The original Victor guys moved nearby after the sale, built a...

    Pressure?

    "DO BETTER KDWP" They won't. KDWP is all about deer hunting now. Plus, they are happy with unregulated guiding services and the huge amount of leasing money coming into the state. How many upland hunters does it take to match the impact of one guide outfit paying $10K to lease a good deer parcel?

    Disappointed

    Making their gear in China ruined Cabela's. There was a time when Cabela's gear was well made and well designed for the outdoors. At that time, Bass Pro was the cheap, poorly designed Chinese versions. Some idiot at Cabela's, probably a Harvard B school grad, decided to go the China route and...

    What would your reaction be?

    If you do drop a dime on guys like that and a KDWP officer finds them in violation I would think you had better be a hundred miles away as quickly as possible. They would likely want some payback if they saw your vehicle parked at a motel that night.

    It’s in The 70s. Long hikes you might want to carry some with you.

    28 guage

    Everybody knows a 28ga Modified with 1oz of 5s won’t kill pheasant at 35 yards.

    Geese

    I just came back from Saskatchewan a week ago. Almost no ducks around, very few Canadas but we limited on specks three days in a row and came home with possession limits. Just hasn't been cold enough to move them down yet.

    Rex Specs- Again

    I'm convinced. I got the Musher's but Rex Specs is having a sale too. Got 2 V2 Ozark Orange Goggles for ~$58 each, 3 replacement lenses for $17 and used this code for 20% off the total WORKINGDOGRADIO Also free shipping when order is over $100. Total for me $112.57 with tax. They have 10...

    SD Road Report

    I know it wasn’t SD, but Drove from Walker, MN west to Minot,ND and then up to Portal,ND where we entered Canada. Limited on specks three days in a row and then reversed the route. Did not see a single pheasant the whole trip. Not even a roadkill. Seemed pretty odd. In really good years, seems...

    “There's no way to rule innocent men. The only power any government has is the power to crack down on criminals. Well, when there aren't enough criminals, one makes them. One declares so many things to be a crime that it becomes impossible for men to live without breaking laws.”― Ayn Rand

    IF you can find a trap range that has a Garmin Xero S1 Trapshooting trainer and IF that range has someone that understands how to use the Garmin, you can dial your gun in pretty quickly. Set up the Garmin on Station 3@16 yards. Set the trap to throw straightaways. Use a full choke in the gun...

    Rex Specs- Again

    Appreciate all the good info. Since I’m hunting the opener I think I’m too late to get the Labs accustomed to the Rex. Please tell me more about using the Mushers wax. Never tried that. How thick, etc

    Rex Specs- Again

    I know Rex Specs/dog eye protection has been discussed a while ago. I re-read those threads. Reports from where I’m headed say it’s been so dry that every leaf and blade of grass is razor sharp. That’s not good for the dogs. So for those of you that have the Rex, any regrets or complaints...

    28 guage

    Physics is always physics. A 1oz load of #5s @ 1205fps has the exact same muzzle energy in any gauge you choose to use. A single #5 pellet coming out of the muzzle at 1205fps hits the bird with the exact same energy in any gauge you choose to use. Put enough #5 pellets that left the muzzle at...

    New Benelli M2

    If a person is shooting LOW with a shimmable gun like the Benelli, to me the correct fix would be to reduce the drop of the stock. That is exactly why they give you shims. I doubt Benelli would want you to use taller beads or they would supply a few different beads. The old acronym for...

    Tristar Viper G2 or Weatherby Element - Back Up & Rainy Day Gun

    So, unlike Benellis that use a nut, the Element uses a bolt. This is the blow up of the parts diagram. S03 is the Buttstock Lock Washer and S04 is the Buttstock Bolt. Any chance of finding a stiffer/thicker lock washer? That and some blue or red Loctite might settle it down.

    Tristar Viper G2 or Weatherby Element - Back Up & Rainy Day Gun

    "Won a Weatherby Element 12G camo at a banquet a couple years ago. They do have design defect where the internal stock bolt comes loose and the butt stock gets wobbly from recoil." Is there a Nylock nut that will fit the internal stock bolt? Might be worth a try.
