I have the new 12 gauge Monte and an older 20 gauge Monte. The 12 feels like a 20, nice and slim. The M2 is my favorite though. Comes with the shim kit so you can get that perfect fit.

I have the New Monte and M2, like them both.

Saw another young brood today, maybe 6 weeks old.

I certainly believe in hunting them at a young age, which is why I like to get a puppy Jan.-March. I won't buy one any other time. It makes it perfect to get them into the hunting field before they are a year old. I hunt about 45 days myself each year. My old female is 11 and I am planning...

I prefer to have my dog obedient off lead, collar conditioned, and force fetched before hunting in the field. I also like them steady to shot, which doesn't happen until after OB, CC, and FF. Mostly for the safety of the dog. And like I said, that is all done by 10 months of age which is when...

It leads to weight gain if you feed too much. My female is spayed and 11 years old. You just have to cut back on the amounts if you feed a higher protein and fat food.

You right, they need birds. That's why I start my pups on clipped wing and dead pigeons at 8 weeks of age and they get them weekly up til the point they are ready for formal training at 6-7 months. Here are a few good threads from some fellows that know how to train dogs and when they start...

In my opinion, she will be too young to hunt this fall. But I like my dogs to be through a formal training program before hunting. A puppy is generally reading for training to begin at 6-7 months and it takes 3 months for Obedience, Collar Conditioning, and Force Fetch. I always get a puppy...

My definition of "Pockets" equals habitat. That is all a pocket is. Where there is habitat there are birds. Problem is that Kansas has had a huge decline in habitat. CRP had large acres expire in the last 15 years. In the last 2 years there has been more enrollment though. Farmers and...

Not true anymore. You can get a high or low rib on both guns. The Monte Ultra Light has a carbon high rib. The regular Ethos has a low rib. Just depends on the model and configuration. The Monte offers new technology.

My female is 11 and 58 lbs. She gets 1.5 cups a day. My male is 65 lbs and gets 2 cups. Great food.

Inukshuk for me.

I don't call those things a hunt, it's a "Shoot". If that is your thing, I am sure it is a top-notch place to go.

1.95 this week. Looks like we may get some more on Saturday. Hope it doesn't scatter the dove. My spot was hot 2 weeks ago.

I wonder since it is this late in the year, if it isn't a 3rd attempt. Rain, hail, haying, wheat harvest, etc can wreak a nest.

I saw a pheasant brood yesterday that looked to be 3-4 weeks old. There is no "Second" hatch. A hen doesn't raise 2 broods, but if unsuccessful, a hen will keep renesting.

I have a Maxus II wicked wing. Soft shooting but I much prefer the Benellis.

I have both a Benelli new model Montefeltro 12 and a new model M2 20. Both great guns. If I were wanting a gun to shoot both upland and waterfowl I would go with an M2 in Gore Optifade Timber 12 gauge. I love mine and it is a fine looking gun...

.20 on Saturday night and .50 last night. Its still green around here. Going to make the dove hunting a little harder.

Last year was actually the best hatch we have had in the last 10 years. I would say this years hatch is comparable to last year.
