I have a 35 lb. female Brittany and have had the TT15 Mini for over 6 years. I really like the smaller collar for my Brittany. While some say the Mini has less battery life and less range I would say that it is minimal and nothing to be concerned about. I have the Alpha 100 with the TT15 Mini...

Years ago I hunted a very good retrieving dog with a new dog. The older dog would take the birds away from her and thus she learned she didn't need to retrieve. Big mistake on my part. I'd try hunting them separate and see if that makes a difference. Opposite of your dog, I had one that...

45 years of living in SD and they never had a Pheasant Fest in Sioux Falls until I started spending my winters in Arizona. :mad: I did go to one in Kansas City and another in Minneapolis.

I agree. My point was that the weight difference between 3 20 ga shells and 3 16 ga shells is very minimal.

That is a proven fact but certainly could very between guns, payloads, chokes, etc.

Assuming 3 shells in the gun the weight difference between 20 ga with 1 oz loads and a 16 ga with 1 1/8 oz loads has to be very minor. Maybe an ounce or two.

One big advantage the 16 has over the 20 is that in most cases the 16 throws a better pattern.

I love my 16 also. Kind of surprised the 20 is only 1 oz. less than the 16. Browning web site says the 20 is built using a smaller-sized frame than that of the 12 gauge. Doesn't compare it to the 16 so my guess they are using the 16 gauge frame. That's what Browning did with the older Auto...

My current Brittany is 35 lbs and my previous Brittany was 40 lbs. A Medium fit them both very well. There is a fair amount of adjustment. You want it to fit fairly tight, you don't want it loose on the dog.

I agree with what you are saying. What about someone that has a residence in Minnesota and spends 99% of the year in Minnesota yet through some SD loop hole claims SD for income tax purpose? Don't you think Minnesota, or any other state, would have a problem with that?

You should have noticed that the information provided in the above link is not from the State of SD. It's a private company trying to make a buck. Maybe it's stuff like this that has prompted the state to propose a bill to tighten residency requirements, at least for a hunting license. I know...

This is false information. They certainly are not a SD resident by spending 1 night every 5 years in the state. However, SD is quite liberal in letting people from out of state license their RV's in SD. I'm not sure what the requirements are for that but I know there are many RV'ers that...

Here's the easiest pheasant recipe there is and it turns out great every time. I normally use a baking dish in the oven but a crock pot works also. This recipe doesn't even require you to brown the pieces first. PHEASANT IN CREAM SAUCE 1-2 Pheasants, quartered or cut into serving pieces...

Appears to be quite a few retailers in the TC area. Check this link on their web site: https://www.google.com/maps/d/viewer?mid=1aM7tjocx5JTqlP-R1cKMH1b3PAPEb3vP&ll=45.0077726860592%2C-93.25794067162835&z=12 Or order it from Chewy.com and have it delivered FREE to your door.

Just throwing out another option for you to consider and that would be a new Browning A5 12 ga. They are not gas operated and have an inertia system similar to the Benelli. Based on Browning's web site a A5 12 ga. with a 26" barrel would weigh 6 lbs. 11 oz. I have a new A5 in a Sweet Sixteen...

Putting your dog in a good kennel like a Ruff Land or equivalent is a safety factor for both the dog and yourself. A loose dog in a vehicle when in a collision can become a flying torpedo injuring or killing both the dog and people inside. Wherever I travel my dog is in her kennel. Even the...

If you can find one you can't go wrong with a WingWorks vest. I've had one for probably 15 years and it still looks like new. Carries two 1 liter bottles that are easy to remove and reload while wearing the vest. And loading the game bag is very easy while to have the vest on. Probably the...

I'm a Brittany guy so I can't get into the long tail debate. But, I do like a little longer tail on my Brittanys. I hate when they really bob them and leave just a stub. I think having that little longer tail makes the dog look better on point. Also might help with style points in a field...

Still a fairly heavy gun at 7.5 to 7.75 lbs. depending on barrel length and rib... But still considerably lighter than a standard Auto 5 12 ga.

South Dakota does require orange while deer hunting with a firearm. Here is what the regulation reads: "Any person hunting any big game animal, except turkey or mountain lion, with a firearm shall wear in a visible manner one or more fluorescent orange exterior garments. The exterior garment...
