Are you buying an older Auto 5 or one of the new SweetSixteens?

IC or Mod, very little difference. And choke constriction can vary by gun. What you have is perfect for pheasants. Buy some good #5 or #6 shot and you will be good to go.

It's tough hunting with a deaf dog and can lead to some anxious moments. I had a deaf Brittany that got lost in heavy cover and cattails. Took some time to find him. You can vibrate them and shock them but if they can't see you they have no idea where you are. Years ago I also had a friend...

I think you have gotten your answer. Leave her home for this trip. You can bring her when you come back in two weeks. Sorry for the bad timing but I guess that goes with having an intact female hunting dog.

I know this will fly in the face of the other threads on here but this is a report from the past few days. I had to attend a funeral in Wyoming on Friday. So Thursday morining I left Watertown a 9:00 AM, drove west on Hwy 212 west of Redfield then south to Miller and west on 14 to Pierre...

I would second that! The owner/trainer should be able to answer all of your questions. They will know the dog better than any of us on this forum.

Same here in most of South Dakota. There were Red Flag warning out the past couple of days that covered a large part of SD and parts of western Minnesota. No rain in the forecast. All hunters will need to be extra cautious this year in the field.

Not sure if you may be referring to my post above or not. I would not say anything on this site that would be protective of an area. I have been living in, and hunting South Dakota for 46 years. I've seen alot in that time and hunted many areas of the state. 33 of those years I lived in...

I really have a difficult time believing there were 37 birds per square mile harvested in Codington County. That would put Codington ahead of counties such as Faulk, Potter, Edmunds & Hand. And just slightly behind Clark and Spink. There is no way in hell that Codington produced more...

Just remember that if you use those Black Cloud shells for pheasant to use a more open choke. Probably no more contriction than IC.

I'd like to give my observations from the area around Watertown. At least once a week I ride motorcycle with some friends and we generally cover an area of approximately a 50 mile radius of Watertown. We ride on almost exclusively county roads and stay off main highways. Leaving around 9:00...

I've done that also. I can make her heal by the bike if I have to.

Just be careful. I used to run my dogs with my bike using a 6 ft. lead held very lightly in my left hand. Should the dog jerk or bolt after something the lea would pull out of my hand. At least that was the idea. I was running my currrent dog a few years ago while in Arizona on the streets...

Funny you should mention Uncle Buck. I haven't seen him on here in years. Appears he hasn't posted since 2017. I have hunted with him a couple of times. Great guy and good dogs. I might have to try and give him a call and see how he is doing.

Like I said in my above post. If you are looking for a less expensive back-up gun, don't overlook a Stoeger. Both my son-in-law and I bought a Stoeger Auto at least 15 years ago and neither of us has ever had one issue with our guns.

I have no experience with either gun and I'm sure either would serve you well as a backup. But I would probably lean towards the Weatherby only because it is an Inertia gun while the Tristar is gas operated. Hopefully others on this site that have had some personal experience with these two...

Not the same thing. SOS is chipped beef, or another meat, in a cream sauce poured over toast.

In discussing this issue of the Hot Beef Commercial with some friends and also some internet searching it appears the term "Hot Beef Commercial" is a Minnesota thing. In the Dakotas it appears to go by the name "Hot Beef Combo or Hot Beef Combination". I was in the Millstone Resturant in...

If you are hunting where you can use lead shot and are worried about hi-power shells, I'd try a box of Federal Game Loads in #6 shot at 1,165 fps. They should be fine in your L.C.

It's a midwestern thing. You will find them generally in smaller family owned resturants. Bump's cafe on Hwy 212 in Glencoe, MN has one of the best. https://www.cbsnews.com/minnesota/news/wcco-viewers-choice-for-mns-best-commercial-sandwich/
