I prefer strap vests. With my 20 lb. beer gut and short legs I tend to get too hot in the button, zipper ones. Bought an Orvis waxed cotton and mesh this year. Really nice, but by the time I loaded it up, then put a couple roosters in it, it was too heavy. Went back to my old 30-year-old cotton...

My buddy bought a used, Lariat?? for his retirement present. Top of the line, whatever that model is called. Gave 40 K used. He loves it and it is awesome inside and out, But daaaam, I don't see one in my future!

I had my 1st opportunity to hunt behind a poodle pointer this year. As far as field work, I couldn't really see a difference, literally. If not for different colored collars, I couldn't tell them apart. The difference will be in the breeding as it is with most breeds. Some will be bred to hunt...

Ha, not sure what that means but I have a feeling it's not a complement:D

You boys are making me rethink my January trips west!

I understand gim. I don't totally disagree. And nothing freaks me out like seeing a red neck open carry in a Walmart. But Elijsha Dicken did just that, whipped out his handgun and stopped a mass shooting at exceptional range. Also, a 12-gauge auto is a lot different than a .410 single shot. So...

Lethal15 feet?? Lethal 40 yards?? I don't even shoot much, and I guarantee you I can dance a tin can around at 20 yards with 50-year-old eastern bloc 9x18. 40 yards with bird shot on a human. Nope. I may be insecure, but I know better than that.

Only tall grass I ever saw there was CRP. and very little of that nowadays. Everything else looked grazed down to nubbins. There are still birds there, but you'll have to cover a bunch of miles to find them.

I agree. Having said that, If I'm carrying a .410 or 28 sxs. I'm packing. And it's not for protection from 4 legged animals!

Looks like Jonsy's heading to the truck with that one.

Gucci bound!

I think britts are probably the best house/hunting dogs. Small, calm, very affectionate.

Ha, so I know you're not a fair weather only type guy, if you want a sxs, you're not going to want double triggers. They are a pain with gloves on. So the Fair Isid or that round body Rizzini comes to mind.

What a crock!

The only time I see the end of shooting hours nowadays is if I don't leave the truck till about 4:00.:mad:

In my opinion that is the absolute best pheasant dog style. Is that a vizsla trait?

I guess the 1st question would be, how much you want to spend? The Turks are making some ok looking 16s. But If I didn't want to take out a loan, I'd be looking pretty hard at the Franchi Instinct.

Your neighbor Quail Nerd is thinking about adding a dog to his pack. Maybe you can talk him into a nice shorthair instead of a silly setter!! :LOL:

Welcome, hang around and you'll pick up some info. Might even sell some pups.

If he's hitting sent and hauling ass, I'd bet he's bumping birds.
