I do a steel/tss duplex and my cost is $1.25 per shell...and I still hate missing! Maybe next year I'll try a few pure tss loads.

THIS GUY GETS IT

Alpha is a poor training device, but a nice hunting device. The Pro550+ is their most versative product IMHO. Never used the Sport Dog.

Windchill over 15F: non-insulated boots (Kenetrek) and midweight wool socks, synthetic long johns, ventable brush pants (Kuiu), synthetic upper base layer, lightweight long sleeve shirt, windproof light vest (orvis), light neck gaiter. Windchill under 15F: add 400g insulated boots, an extra...

A couple things... 1) Like Labradinger said, it's been real tough scenting this year. My DD and PP are both veterans on wild birds and trained to the highest levels in NAVHDA, and they have been struggling. Especially on downded birds....it's probably the worst I've seen years. 2) Stopping...

Lido failed with 191/200 points. Without getting too far into it, we had a very difficult brace mate to back...a French Britt that was maybe 16 inches tall. The one point she had in short cover he backed, but the two she had in thicker cover he never saw her and never backed. The judges scored...

How'd you get the dog to stay still?? J/k. Good advice.

Purely cost. By my breakdown when I bought all my components, that load costs me $1.24 per shell using brand new primed shells. The TSS component is $0.89 and the steel is $0.06. So if I went with a 1/2 ounce of TSS my shells would dang near double in price. I was pretty happy with my pattern...

My load is a duplex of steel and TSS. 90% of stuck BBs are steel. I can probably count on two hands the number of TSS I've found in the breast and legs. But like I've said, my shots are closer than what was originally being discussed. My load was given to me by Hawglips on duckhutningchat. He...

Sorry, for the record, the vast majority of phez I shot with TSS are Stone Cold dead. For small bore and non-tox, it's as good as it gets. Effin expensive though.

My info is completely anecdotal, but for my 28ga loads it feel like I get mostly pass throughs. My shots are almost always less than 40 yards though, and most under 30 (I train good pointers cuz my shooting sucks). I HAVE seen pinprick holes through the bones of wings and legs, which is a...

3 pups left.

Bump

I have a Drahthaar and a PP and a German Shepherd mutt. The wirehairs shed maybe 20% what the shepherd does. Possibly less. It's not zero though.

Bump.

Thanks. His coat is excellent. Harsh wire but with very little fluff. Not as dense as my DD, but he can run in the hot weather way better and the cold still seems to not affect him much.

It's too bad that some folks have to "yeah,but" this in regards to politics. This story was striking because the leader of the largest pheasant hunting state was proud of the fact that she killed her own hunting dog after a bad hunt that seemed to directly stem from her inability to handle a...
