    Governor Noem writes about her hunting dog

    Actually, politics in forums doesn’t bother me at all. I’m all grown up and know how to ignore topics and posts that don’t interest me. However, not everyone on this site can tolerate ANY remotely political thread or post. I’m thinking that Wolfchief’s recent post (which I enjoyed and agree...

    Governor Noem writes about her hunting dog

    “ would like to know why you have a burr in your bonnet.” Happy to explain. It wasn’t that long ago that even a whiff of a political post was immediately cause for outrage. Posters upset because they came here to get away from politics. Complaints to Webguy, the owner of the site. Warnings...

    So we can start a thread about Biden’s dog biting multiple people at the White House and everyone will be ok with that?

    Governor Noem writes about her hunting dog

    Not political? Hah. A large number of the posts discuss the effect on Noem’s political career/politics. This thread is very political. If it weren’t the discussion would be about whether the shooting of the dog was justified, if the situation was truly as reported and if the somewhat common...

    My how things have changed. Used to be any posts remotely political resulted in mass pearl clutching and cases of the vapors.

    Governor Noem writes about her hunting dog

    I certainly couldn't shoot any dog, let alone MY dog, to put it down. However, I know people that have and some that say they would. Some consider it the honest way to send your friend on. Supposedly you are ending your buddy's pain. I also think that, even today, it's not that uncommon out...

    184? YIKES! That’s animal abuse.

    Dog Breed Popularity

    Dual titled labs are pretty rare. What amuses me is hearing of people pay $3500+ for what were called mongrels in my youth. The whole (fill in the blank) __________oodle or _________apoo thing. Friend of mine has a wife that sells “registered” Cavapoos for $3500 each and has a long waiting...

    Water in the field...

    Been using this last 2 seasons and will continue to do so. Works very well, they drink from the scoop and barely waste any. Good quality. 25 ounces, was about $15 on Amazon in 2022. Easy to refill if you carry and extra plastic 16oz bottle or two on the really long hikes...

    STORING SHOT SHELLS

    I have a basement under my garage. I put one of these in it. Humidity runs no more 35-40% all year. Everything stores just fine in there. Water gets pumped outside, never have to fool with it. Maybe clean the filter once or twice a year. Midea 50 Pint SMART Dehumidifier With Pump - For Rooms up...

    Remember Poly Chokes?

    Poly-choke is out of business as far as I can tell from internet searching. However, there are Poly-choke and Poly-choke II available on Ebay. You'll have to get the Poly-choke installed by a gunsmith. The II apparently just threads into barrels that are threaded for choke tubes. Randy Wakeman...

    Tell SD What You Think!!

    They are not presenting a straightforward survey. They want emailed comments. I suspect most people will not read the long plan and develop their comments. To find the actual plan, go here: https://gfp.sd.gov/UserDocs/nav/RNEP_Action_Plan_2024_2028draft.pdf Read it over and submit your...

    Whats the deal with Impala Plus?

    Ah..I didn’t dig that deep. It did sound like too good of a deal. Probably is a scam. I wouldn’t buy from a Zelle/Bitcoin only dealer. You might try Zander’s. The gunsmith said he was sending mine back to them. You could find out if he put the new bolt and link in it. It’s used so maybe a good...

    Whats the deal with Impala Plus?

    The new importer (which is Istanbul Silah itself as I understand it) just isn't bringing in the Emerald. I agree with you on the green. Haven't seen one in person but it doesn't look appealing to me in the pictures I've seen. The Emerald is much more desireable IMO. As I mentioned in the Return...

    Which Barrel First For Over/Under

    With screw in chokes there's not really any difference, just personal preference.

    My personal experience, your mileage may vary. If the links don't go to the first post in the thread, you might want to scroll up. https://www.shotgunworld.com/threads/new-impala-plus-review.557131/#post-4839573...

    Which Barrel First For Over/Under

    I think the tradition is bottom barrel first. This being traced to the old days of fixed choke only shotguns. Almost every fixed choke O/U you find will have the more open choke on the bottom barrel. Now there is the inline recoil group and there is the less muzzle jump group and probably a few...

    Lab guys sorry but....

    I have owned and friends I hunt with have owned Labs that were still all day hunters at age 10. A very few beyond that. YMMV.
