I have an Instinct. I like it. I really don't need any of the bells and whistles. Sometimes it seems to have a mind of its own and I have trouble getting back to the time screen. Now, in defense of the watch, I've never really read all of the directions. I just don't have any use for all of...

It's basically an auto 5 copy. Keep the mag tube lightly oiled and it'll work great. Remington made a 48 as well after the Browning patent expired.

AA 8s. I’ve used 7.5 a lot as well. I don’t notice much of a difference.

Coveys in one particular place aren't necessarily birds from the previous year. They can move quite a distance during the fall shuffle. On top of that the mortality is usually in the 70 percent range or so. Having said that, it would be dependent on the weather. Probably 5 or so as said...

Point, creep, point, creep, point, creep.....pheasants running. Point, flush... quail holding. Maybe not running but it is moving away from you and the dog. Maybe it finally holds or maybe it gets up 50 to 100 yards ahead of you. Had it happen a lot. That's what I mean when i think of a...

After my experience this year with my shorthairs and crazy thick cattails, I would want a flusher if I strictly hunted pheasants in that kind of cover. Haven't seen many others mention this on here. Not good when your pointer is down in cover so thick you can't get to them. I get it that the...

Maybe your gucci grabass labs are too soft from riding in the vehicle with you? A good dog box will toughen them up a bit.

It would appear that the Auto 5 is glued to the wall.

Did the dogs have any trouble finding the bass or the turkey?

I have been using a Q5 for 10 years now. Great vest. Tough. I will say it is difficult to load a pheasant in the back of it. Quail are easy but its difficult to get a rooster back there with one arm. Does not have front load.

Tell them no. Nick them if I need to. Had a guy years ago shoot a jackrabbit in front of my bird dog. It squealed and she freaked out. I had steam coming out of my ears. Other than that I’ve never had one shot in front of my dogs.

For me hunting in Kansas it would’ve been early to mid 2000s.

Merry Christmas!

I shot a white rooster once at a game farm when I was a kid.

Safety never comes off unless birds are in the air and it is going up to the shoulder. Can't believe anyone would do otherwise.

I've made venison breakfast sausage twice. I buy a pork butt and make it about 3:1 venison to pork ratio. Both times I have used the LEM Breakfast sausage seasoning. Turned out very well.

I use TSS 9s turkey hunting. Deadly. I did make a not so good shot on one last year and he had some pellets under the skin. Now I know 7s would be much bigger and probably penetrate through and through but I could see where using that smaller shot could get you a trip to the dentist.

Found some today before it warmed up.

Maybe they aren't very suitable with a pointing dog. Flusher would definitely be better.
