:unsure: I Agree with zeb. The only reason they didn't make a 3'' 16 is because it would have made the 2.75 12 obsolete! To late zeb I'm afraid you already did.;)

Totally agree. I think sometimes your born with it or learn it by example. Other times it comes from age. And some never acquire it.

Last year I shot one wild bird.:mad: So I took my frustration out on some flare nares and chukars!

No truer words were ever spoken.

Get on gunbroker and look for Remington 11-48's or 11-58's. I think we discussed this not long ago on another thread. There is a very nice 1148 with a polychoke on there now. People po po the polychokes but believe me they work pretty danged well. I've been outshot by one before and the best...

Probably but, I have witnessed dogs' reason. A brilliant beagle my dad had in the seventies. And one of the dogs that would often break out and circle pheasants. We once hunted him in a place we had hunted many times. Probably a mile of unproductive ground with ditch lines and wood edges before...

Yeah, that's probably closer than actually reasoning to get around them. Although I never underestimate them.

That Gus is a pretty good-looking dog. Local breeder? Crops out yet up there?

Not that this is common either, but I have seen a couple big running dogs that would track for a while, then if you would be fairly close to an edge, they would pull out and run hard down the edge. Sometimes for a long way. Then cut in and hunt back to you. Sometimes it worked like a charm...

Maybe I could sneak up on those ones.

Yeah, I have that shape down pat.

I haven't tried my Meindl's yet. they are 400 gran insulation. I'll try using the insoles in my other boots today.

I've been trying to get in shape for a while. Working out, walking. Lost some weight and feeling pretty good. My problem is, no matter what boots I wear, my feet hurt after about 5 miles. What's the best insoles? I remember reading a thread about it but can't find it.

Which brings up another point. I see a lot of guys saying they keep them within a certain range. How? With the shock collar or by screaming all the time? Believe me I spent years doing both! If you use the shock collar, you'd better have a bold dog that can take it. A lot of dogs will associate...

Nice looking dog. But I don't call 150 a big runner. Range is relevant to cover/terrain. Also, it's pretty tough to expect a dog that's used to running wide hunting fencerows or short grass prairies to all of a sudden hunt close in a C.R.P. field. The absolutely best is a dog that likes to know...

I told this one before, but my old shorthair got it in S.D. Just 10 or so. Thought we got them all out. 3or 4 days latter I was petting him and checking him out. I felt what I thought was a thorn about halfway between his nose and eyes. Pulled it out from the top and it was a broken quill that...

Sound like Willy was a little paranoid.

Like Obi said. The Rangers were 90's. There could have been someone else who bought 90's and sold them under another name. The Rangers can be had cheaper, but they are exactly the same. I had a 16 90 and a 20 ranger. They also made a .410/22 like the savage 24's but better looking.

In spngertime's defense, I thought he was a springer/Britt/ shorthair cross

Yes, especially if bird populations are low.
