I have one of these and it works well. Also have a manual cock & load model with a foot pedal for when I'm too lazy to set up the electric one.

I started hunting/shooting in the mid 60's, back when hearing protection wasn't even commonly used on ranges, let alone required. So between rock concerts (by the 80's I learned to always wear foam earplugs at indoor shows), the military, a 40 year LE career, flying light aircraft, and shooting...

During early season when it's warm to hot I have to say I've grown to favor Banded's super lightweight vented early season shirt. A bit pricey but man, are they comfy when putting on the miles in warm weather! I believe Beretta makes a similar shirt and I imagine others do too. I have almost...

To the original question, will will he hate you and do I know of any negatives? I know what you are feeling as I had the same worries when I sent the first lab pup I trained to a pro over two decades ago. Turned out my concerns were baseless and I suspect your's will be, as well. I've never...

For a retreiver trainer who works with labs Blue Green Algae is always a concern doing water work in the summer, particularly in low/stagnant water conditions. Fortunately it's pretty easy to spot, usually it's a medium to heavy patch of bright blueish-green crud, although it can be lighter...

Pretty darned fast, and they get up to speed quickly. This afternoon I was driving home from work and came across a rooster picking grit on the side of the road. I was doing 45-50 and he flushed just before I got to him. Rather than head away from the road, he flew down the ditch right next...

Actually scored 2 boxes of 12 gauge Prairie Storm 4s today. Other than a couple boxes trap loads, these were the only 12 gauge on the shelf...

The size of my agency is irrelevant, we all have to abide by the Constitution and in this case specifically, the 4th Amendment. Somewhere along the line G&F agencies decided they needed & should have broader powers regarding search & seizure than other LE agencies had to work within (see State...

I should have prefaced the above with that I have no issue with Conservation Officers, and was more than happy to work with & assist them. They have a difficult & dangerous job and I've always given them props for doing it. That being said, the Constitution is the law of the land and I prided...

I retired from nearly 40 years in law enforcement in 2017 at the rank of Deputy Chief. Suffice to say I have a fair understanding of the Open Fields & Plain View Doctrines. I have never understood the probable cause exception granted to Conservation Officers regarding Open Fields. I...

I don't think it's a genetic trait per se, other than avoiding loud unexpected sounds would be an expected survival response.

I've lived in ND since 81' and hunted west of the Missouri River/in the Badlands just about every year. I moved to the SW corner of the state in 2018. I've never seen a rattler when I've looked for them, and seen very few otherwise. Last summer I saw a grand total of 1, and that was west of...

Yep. Wonder how much they're selling? Trap loads are the one thing we can get around here. Not a lot, but there is some on the shelf...

Cheaper Than Dirt is selling Federal Blue Box trap loads for $49.99 a box! That's the stuff that is normally around $5.00 a box anywhere. Hope everyone stocked up on ammo & components while you had the chance, this is going to be a rough 2-4 years...

Pard, howdy & welcome from the Free State of North Dakota. Fine looking labby you have there...

You're probably right, KSM. The Crew do love to hunt waterfowl. You should hear them bitch because there's no field hunting geese down here...

Mallard Island is no big secret, particularly for North Dakota residents. It was one of the first "hot spots" I heard of when I first moved into the state in the early 80's, and it is mentioned fairly often as such in the pages of North Dakota Outdoors (NDGF's magazine). It probably gets...

Considering the distance factor for most, the prospective buyer is pretty much dependent on the breeder/seller to provide information. As a buyer, I want transparency and patience from the seller. I want to see at least 4 gen pedigree (prefer 7 gen), parent certs, heath guarantee...

Guess we'll see how it plays out. Good luck to those who trust that ammo & components will appear on the shelf any time soon, or that the current administration won't do everything it can get away with to hurt the hunting & shooting community...

SW ND, 30 below when I got up yesterday morning, no wind...
