Goose, maybe you could rig the 28g so that both barrels go off at the same time? You’d be down to a single shot but it might be more effective! 😁

https://www.huntinglabpedigree.com/pedigree.asp?id=166163 https://www.huntinglabpedigree.com/pedigree.asp?id=117026 These two dogs were just bread. Not sure if it took yet. If it did, the pups should be smaller framed. The yellow dog does point when the rooster is not running around. I...

I guess it depends on what you want. I have a very well bred lab who went to a very experienced trainer at 6 months old. After 6 weeks, the trainer called and said come pick the dog up. As it turned out, the pup had no interest in the rigor of training and, ultimately, hunt tests. The...

LC-where did you get your lab? I’ve had multiple labs over the last 20+ years. Always interested in hearing about good labs!

One suggestion above is Cashman kennels and the blood line you are interested in is Cashmans Super Trooper. Are they associated? IDK but if so, it would be worth a call!

Yep, that’s a nice dog. Good luck with your search!

I’m curious as to what blood line you are looking for?

Not sure how the PM works Here are the two links Good luck with your search! https://www.huntinglabpedigree.com/pedigree.asp?id=117026 https://www.huntinglabpedigree.com/pedigree.asp?id=166163

Woolley-are you looking for a lab puppy? My female is hopefully being bred this week. Not sure what your time frame is. No, I’m not a breeder. Hoping for a puppy out of AJ. She hunts very well, points a little and has done real well at hunt tests. The male, Jax, also has done well at hunt...

Got a little carried away on the first one!

Agree 💯!

If I had the choice to spend 1k-2k for 4-5 days hunting in prime pheasant habitat with a chance to limit out each day OR spend the same money on gas but get to hunt mediocre pheasant habitat 3 times a week, I’d opt for the latter. I’d rather be out with my dog more often, over the course of the...

Once upon a time, I thought pointing dogs were where it was at. Now, it doesn’t matter to me, as long as it’s my dog is finding birds! I hunt with labs and probably wouldn’t hunt much if I didn’t run my own dogs. My older dog is a flusher and her body language tips me off when there’s a bird...

IMO, at the end of the day, as long as you harvest what you are after or pass the test that you enter, and are enjoying the process, that’s all that really matters.

Chief vests seem to work well. It can be customized to your liking. Expensive. Front loading. Too warm at times? Maybe.

One other funny one… I lost my cell phone in a field. It was in a cell phone holder the became detached from my vest. Luckily it was not windy. Went to my friends house and he and 2 other guys were kind enough to come back to the field and help look. And, luckily, the ringer was on. An...

I also lost a dog for an hour about 15 years ago. Missed a rooster. That disappeared over a hill. The dog went after it for the retrieve and his e collar shut off due to battery. Talk about a sickening feeling! It was really windy that day too. A friend suggested blowing a whistle and that...

This year , struggling to walk through cover over my head. Couldn’t see what was in front of me. Took a step and literally fell over into a washout area that was 3’-4’ deep. Landed horizontal to the ground on my gun. My head hit the receiver and I almost knocked myself out!

Using an over/under, 2 in the gun and 8 in my vest. Limit here is 3 and birds usually are spread out and flush as singles.

IMO it’s a bad idea to shoot any upland game on or near the ground with dogs around.
