    Garmin Alpha 100 VS 200/300

    The 550+ is the one if you’re more interested in training, yet still has a functional gps to give distance and direction. I can toggle between dogs, give correction, or just a tone to any of 3 dogs without looking at the handheld. Why does it seem that Garmins user interface on everything they...

    Dog vest for retriever around 65lbs.

    I’ve got both colors of the Scheels vest for my 65 lb shorthairs. The added visibility it gives them is great.

    Are you better at sporting clays or wild birds?

    I’ve shot at courses that our backyard thrower throwing straightaways was about equal in difficulty. I shot at a course a few weeks ago that I felt stupid when I was done. In fairness, I had never been there and had a fixed choke gun with way to open of chokes for it. Should have shot skeet...

    how do you handle different shells for mixed bag?

    Growing up I thought a poly choke is what an 870 20 guage was supposed to look like. Dad had one and I didn’t know any better. He probs my could have filled a rail car with the quail he killed with that gun back when we had quail.

    New upland vest

    I bought a Final Rise Summit XT last winter so my boy could inherit my old Cabelas strap vest. Finally got to use it this weekend. I thought it was easy to load the birds. Like somebody above said, just put bird behind you and drop. I had no issues accessing and reinserting the water...

    Copper Shot?

    The Bossmen claim superiority in whichever way the wind happens to be blowing that day, or in their case, whichever shot they're pushing that day. Their social media was trashing steel (understandably) for years........until they came out with their own 'copper washed steel'. And now, steel...

    how do you handle different shells for mixed bag?

    Don’t let perfection get in your way of good enough. If I’m anticipating a number of quail I’d be carrying 6s instead of my usual 5s. I shoot mostly 6s for pheasants in my 20 anyway to get the pellet count up. To me, trying to anticipate what I’m going to be shooting at or what range is an...

    Bonus Bird Today

    It happened. Twice this weekend in SD we knocked birds down. Marked well. But couldn’t find them after thorough search. After the push, took my shorthairs back to the mark, first one was dead as a door nail and my dog immediately found it. Second one we had seen running after the shot so we left...

    Retirement gift for me!

    Right. The Rizzini was my only Cabelas purchase. Kinda kicking myself for not buying the 12 guage they also had at the sane time. Could have had both for less than 1 new. Saw somebody the other day had bought a clean Pre64 Model 70 for like $500. I might have sold a kid for that one.

    Retirement gift for me!

    I know this is an old thread. But if a person watches the various online auctions and classifieds and Cabelas used gun pages, some steals can be had. I absolutely love my Rizzini Aurum Light 20. 5# 8oz. Purchased at less than half of new. I bought this (bottom) German 5#15 oz 16 guage...

    South Dakota Pheasant Hunting Is Changing, Or Has Changed

    Access and success are needed for recruitment. I’m 45. Have been lucky to have had some amazing hunts over the last 30+ years. Early success on private ground in Kansas, then some phenomenal public ground success kept the drive up to get through the lean times. Been going to SD on private...

    Might be a bismuth shortage.

    What’s inside? Steel. But it’s superior steel than anybody else loads and they’ve always badmouthed because it’s their steel.

    Wet Crispi Boots

    My Russell custom fit boots are perfectly comfortable, and I'm sure will last just fine. That said... They're not just a small percentage higher in cost than Crispi's or other quality boots. South 40 Birdshooters, not custom fit, just off the shelf, are $1065 now. Gustin Birdshooter for...

    I’ve got “custom fit” Russell’s. They are good at marketing.

    Agree with the hot spotting….but heaven forbid you give an honest review on a title sponsor over there…

    Might be a bismuth shortage.

    Whichever way the wind blows. I said as much on another forum. You’d havej thought I had told the Pope that Mary worked in a strip club.

    When you have a addiction you should stay out of gun shops

    Don’t go down the rabbit hole of custom Knives. This one arrived from South Africa yesterday.

    When you have a addiction you should stay out of gun shops

    You’ve got great taste in Cartridges. Was looking at Savage 99s in .250 Savage last night. My Kimber Classic Select in .257 Roberts is my favorite deer rifle. That’s unless I’m carrying my Winchester 1885 6,5x55 Shot Show Special. And I’m always on the lookout for the perfect donor to build a 7x57.
