Many years ago I was at a charity auction in St Cloud, Tom Knapp was sitting with the owner of DPMS Panther Arms who was a business associate of mine . We had so much fun....at the end of the night he agreed to golf in a lions club tournament in Dayton MN if I would do a 3 shell shoot off with...

The only gun range "near" the twin city's that might allow high base loads is Del Tone in St Cloud. I'm sure there may be others but I'm not aware of them. The science of ballistics and patterning is interesting, and certainly has value but it will not turn you into Tom Knapp ;). Good...

You just described my choice in guns, loads, and choke tubes to a tee! Except I haven't bought an Ultralight (yet). I find something that works and stick with it. I have played around a lot more patterning my waterfowl gun. And what I learned was the differences between shells, and extended...

I agree it was one of the best numbers wise, and easily the most enjoyable for me personally. Sunday was my last day also, it was perfect!!

Lot of birds for 6 guys in 1 day...... Might want to crop a couple out of the picture :)

I have never seen a warranty of 36-48 months, 26 months is the norm. OFA requires a dog to be at least 24 months for testing, and 26 months gives you the time to have them tested. Once out of the warranty period I doubt the breeder would assume any responsibility nor should they. As the...

I've never had a "Warranty Issue", but the couple people I know that have had were treated fairly by the breeders. Responsible breeders are responsible people I think.

Looks like the court of public opinion has found him guilty, right or wrong.

Pretty telling that after seeing the video of the dog she didn't go get her or at least arrange for someone to get the pup. If she was out of town she should have found someone if the video bothered her much as the news report said. The more I think about this the more it smells. If I ever...

I have been working with Auburn University's Canine Performance Program (detection dogs). They have very stringent health testing criteria. Here is a list of what they require. Some tests may be overkill IE OFA and PENNHIP. Semen and Brucellosis only pertains to breeding OFA Hips, and...

I have never heard of this trainer or kennel probably because I am a retriever guy, he might be the best or the worst trainer for all I know. I think we are seeing to small a portion of the video to really get a feel for what happened. Maybe the dog was being FF'd as it appears to have a toe...

That's her!

I buy all my food from Central Pet Ventures, DogfoodDirect.com is the online presence for CPV. Sandy is fantastic and will get you the best deal possible! The address says Big Lake but its north of there in the Sand Dune state forest near Orrock.

I saw the same thing last week. I wonder if the were getting invertebrates like freshwater shrimp and snails?

I have a 2 hole SS and aluminum insulated box(3" on top 1.5" on the sides)(I think). The dogs are very comfortable into the single digits, and on the hot days too, if the fans are running. Get a Sensor Push remote temp sensor and put it in with the dog that doesn't chew. They are great for...

Things that sound to good to be true usually are! I've tried this trick and my wrist was warm in a small area...But my fingers were still cold, it was damn cold that day so maybe it works on warmish days.

SD is still open, and the birds are plentiful but Jumpy as heck. 2 of us hunted 3 days and ended up with 18, 19 if you count the hen the pup caught. We flushed 100's of birds at 100+ yards but enough held tight. Public was actually as good if not slightly better than private, I know hard to...

Doc (right) is already turning into a outstanding upland dog. He and Ty produced 3 limits the last 3 days in SD.

I have a drill one of the best young dog trainers in MN taught me. I use it on young pups but it works just as well on mature dogs. Put on your game vest and put a few thawed bird in the pouch. Ducks, pheasants, pigeons, it doesn't matter. I use pigeons as they are easy to carry and cheap...

Try the Sitka upland glove. They are fantastic. I have used Bob Allen shooting gloves for years, but the Sitka gloves keep my hands warmer and are more durable. Just take a deep breath before looking at the price.
