I’ve owned a couple sport dog units. Don’t particularly care for the remote as the few I’ve owned haven’t held up well. For an inexpensive collar I like the garmin delta series- they are three dog capable, easy to use without having to look at the remote and have held up well. my best units...

Even though I have a canopy cover on my truck I still store a lot of my gear in totes in the bed. In order to minimize them sliding around I picked up an adjustable bed bar that goes across the entire width. You can get them at harbor freight for about 25 bucks. Great investment when you don’t...

I love all the thoughts coming from this. I just want to know if they can develop me a shot that the stream lights up as it goes out to the bird. Then I know why I’m still missing these dang flying things and by how much. Over the years I’ve gotten better just mostly based on patterning my...

Just a bit over 3 weeks. NODak here we come. Only one springer with me this year. Older girl blew TPLO last year and with what the surgery and rehab set me back i just can’t afford for this to happen again. She will stay home and spend her time in the field locally. Bird numbers in a large part...

Outstandng video. Really opens the mind to shotgunning in the field. Looking forward to follow on videos. This has the potential to change the way we hunt, shells, chokes, wads, patterning. Happy to see my Winchester SX4 as the test shotgun.

Crap, I’d be in heaven at that price. Washington state still at about 4.25 and in many place over 5 bucks. Our great governor is seeing to it that anyone working today will pay everyone’s share in this state.

Started out years ago, with pump shotguns and still have numerous ones in the safe. When I thought I needed something more fancy/prettier I opted to get an over/under. Have several today in the safe. A few years ago I found myself traveling more to hunt. That year I had a minor shoulder injury...

Absolutely love the 2 3/4 Fiocchi Golden Pheasant nickel plated #5 in the field where non-tox is not a requirement. Before the pandemic a box of 12 ga was about 17 bucks. at least with my Winchester SX4 this patterns admirably and I’ve killed more wild pheasants with single shots than any other...

Totally agree. My springers are trained with the dogtra T&B color system. I use the beep to turn my spaniels, stop from flush and return. the Locator button is sufficiently loud enough to quickly locate in heavy cover. If I had one wish it would be to make the change feature button even smaller...

Here is the fall count. Just came out a short while ago. Good luck. Upland Game Brood Survey North Dakota’s roadside surveys conducted in late July and August indicate pheasant and gray partridge were up from last year, while sharp-tailed grouse numbers were down. State Game and...

Agreed. My older collar had the beeper and the shock on different sides which minimizes the rotation of the collar. I tried using velcro on the collar to keep the unit from rotating to the bottom without much success. Fortunatel, my dogs are almost always within 30-40 yards which I can hear well...

While not the newest dogtra unit I went fron a 1900 t&b to a 2502 t&b 2 dog unit. My oLd collar was over 10 years old single unit and other than battery replacement every couple years it’s helped up through thick and thin. Still worked when I put it away. The 2502 t&b are actually beeper units...

I’m very fortunate. about 8 years ago I considered going from a flusher to a pointer. made friends with a guy with a Brittany. He was struggling to find a bird his dog was pointing. Kicking brush and muttering to Himself. I was just about finished hunting and saw his dilemm. Asked if he could...

Yes, one of my hunting buddies has one. Super light. Down side is I can buy (2) winchesters for the price of one.

Love my springers. Have had a handful over the last 50 years. Each one has a different personality and gives us unique memories. They hunt their butts off during hunting season and re perfectly content to lay around on the sofa or bed during the off season. They do however love to be with me...

That’s my older springer spaniel Sophie. About 1/4 field spaniel. Good working dog with the ability to slow down outside the field. My other pup Rita.

Ran into something)g similar a few years ago. Had a nice Beretta semiauto. Elbow injury made the gun too heavy to hold up by days end in the field. About that time Winchester came out with the SX4. Coming in at the upper 6 pound range in 12 gauge it was definitely worthy of looking at. I’ve been...

Thanks for the ad. I use this site all the time but never thought to join till recently. It’s all about the hunt, whether it be pheasants, quail, hun, sharpies, or turkey. Retired in 2016 and now spend days with my hunting companions (dogs) trying to stay in shape for hunting. While I live and...

Just checked yesterday and fall counts come out from NDGF in September. This will be the best, most current information on what to expect this year. Good luck.
