    16 gauge

    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.

    Howdy

    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:

    Slowing your dog

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

    Missing GSH's near Ulysses

    One of the sickest feelings you can ever have. It can happen for a number of reasons. I swear, I've seen older dogs take younger ones away in hopes they'll get lost and never come back. Old dog came back three days later. 4 days later a guy a few miles away called me with the young dog. Also...

    16 gauge

    I have owned a few, You will not beat the reliability of the Citori, no matter how much you spend. The feathers would be my pick as the lightning is a little heavy. I've owned 2 Fair Rizzini's. They are slimmer and lighter than the Citori. The 600 required a good cleaning after around 500...

    Kennel dogs and house dogs

    Whatever breed you chose, there will be some exceptional breeders who try and breed for a shut off switch for folks who want house dogs. But if you can't get your dog's enough exercise every day, there will be problems. My dogs are pretty good but driving us crazy as we speak. Terrorizing the...

    Slowing your dog

    You can adjust his range with the e collar. You can also train to stop and hold when he hits sent. Both will take a great deal of effort. It's probably the most common problem in the sport. Some dogs figure it out, some don't.

    Slowing your dog

    Old timers would tie a log chain to them! I would get rid of a dog and ty again before I would do that. When I was young, I'd just jog for hours on end. The truth is, you either pour it on, hunt him hard and hope he gets over it. Or whistle break him, similar to what Gobler said.

    Would like your insight on a purchase for pheasant hunting

    Get the vests and buy a couple shirts with some orange. Or do like I do and buy red and white plaid shirts off eBay!

    Here Kitty Kitty

    Same in south Indiana. People been swearing they see them for years. One a very good friend. Finally, they came clean a few years ago when a guy caught one on a trail cam. Then just a couple years ago the first confirmed bear siting in like 100 years within 3 miles from my house. There's not...

    Vaseline every day for a week or so will take care of that elbow callus.

    Antique road show

    I was forced into it around early 2000's when my workplace went computerized. I remember that I got the curser off the screen and had to go asked someone how to manipulate the mouse around to get it back. Still resisted for a few years, then someone showed me how to get to gunbroker and ebay and...

    2024 Season In Pictures, Guns, Game And Dogs

    My grandson and I had a great time in an unnamed southwestern state. Had some glitches including both being sick a couple days but persevered. Grandson had never shot at a quail. Missed the 1st shot then proceeded to smack down 22 in basically 2.5 days. Also celebrated his 21st birthday there...

    2024 Season In Pictures, Guns, Game And Dogs

    I'm starting to look at your pics out of the corner of my eye. I switch guns once and can't hit a bull in the ass with a base fiddle! But you use a different classic every day??? Maybe you really shoot them with a beat up old 1100 and are a master cut and paster instead of a master shotgunner...

    Rabbits

    I have two rules. No ground shots. No low shots. I've seen way to many close calls.

    Saw another 105# dog.

    I've only seen a couple 100 pounders who were in shape. one was a great Dane, and the other was a great pyranose. both were intimidating. I remember thinking that if I had to give them a shake to discipline, they could easily shake me back.:oops:
