Sounds like you're after just a short check cord with a snap? Maybe find a check cord and cut it to length. I have a 30 footer from Mendota that doesn't have a loop. Obviously too long but you could cut it to your desired length and just burn the frayed ends off.

Hell I don't like that pressure even with my 5 year old dog haha even though they know all the ropes, they still can be knuckleheads at times and it usually seems to be when others are watching versus when you're alone and they are hunting fantastic.

One thing to keep in mind regarding your unguided missile comment, is that genetics can be weird. Even if Dam and Sore were tested for hips and elbows and on down the line before them, there's no guarantee that a pup or 2 can't end up with bad luck on the genetics end and get some odd health...

A "must have" for me on trips is a 5 gallon bucket with a toilet seat cover that's designed to snap onto the bucket and a few plastic bags. Nothing worse than being out in the prairie, without a tree in sight when nature calls. This prevents dumping mud near parking areas like Goose seems to...

There's also some de skunking shampoos that work well AFTER you've washed them a couple times with the solution you mentioned. That solution helps a lot in knocking down the worst of the smell. But the one time I've dealt with a skunky dog, they still had a hint of skunk on them a day later so I...

The US Department of Energy estimates 1.3 million gallons of oil is spilled into waterways alone each year just in normal operations from pipeline breaks, tankers leaking, oil wells leaking, etc. Fossil fuels are a lot more than just the pollutants into the air from burning them. That figure...

Exxon thanks you I'm sure

There was a time that if you told someone we'd be flying 50-100 people across the world in giant metal birds they would have put you in an insane asylum. Never say never. Is the technology perfect right now? No. But it'll continue to advance. And there's a reason in my area, the largest energy...

Same with battery tools. I know a corded tool compared to a gas auger isn't an apples to apples comparison, but the point is technology has advanced and you never find a corded tool now. The point that alot of anti solar folks make is that "it'll take me 15 years before I see any gains". My...

Yeah I've shot pheasants within a couple hundred yards of windmills too. But this particular area in NW MN, I've seen huns right on a fence row that's probably 50-100 yards from the closest windmill and shot chickens probably 100-200 yards away from them. I've never been able to get a good...

I've shot many a prairie chicken with windmills about 200 yards away.

It's not so much a concern for us hunting here in MN, but a lot of us will go to western states that have them. It's hard to find avoidance classes in this state since there isn't a large population of snakes. I'd bet that class was fairly full considering it's one of the few I've seen held...

That's a general rule of thumb. Some breeds are more predisposed to using both ground and air scent and I'm sure some individual dogs that come from breeds that use only air scent or ground scent will learn to use both. I know my dogs will use both air and ground scent and different times...

Yeah I checked shipping costs and apparently it's free shipping too. I already have a vest from them but I considered ordering their Sidekick vest for warm early season hunts and dog training but I'll probably hold off as I can order just the Sidekick belt system and use the strap/yoke from my...

Noticed online the other day that GoHunt is having a 20% off sale on certain brands and that Final Rise vests are included in the sale. For anyone like me that was keeping their eye on those vests for awhile knows they never seem to go on sale directly through Final Rise. Just wanting to share...

I don't own one of these particular guns but I own several autos, I try to make it a yearly winter project to fully strip and clean the guns after a season of use. Then just keep up with normal cleaning and oiling of high impact wear parts throughout the season. Also a tip, learn via forums or...

I think we have the same gun Bob haha

Yeah I donate every year. I think they just keep that information internal.

As I've gotten older, I've been graduating down in gun size haha started with a 20 but then used a 12 a long time, then a 16 gauge, now this year I'll be back a 20 gauge as my primary shotgun.

Hell I use 2.75"s and never have an issue. If you check ballistics, alot of times 2.75s will perform better than a 3 inch shell. Usually 2.75s give you more FPS too comparing equivalent shells.
