    Let's Bitch (Can't Hunt)

    The funny thing is that I moved to TN from northern IN 40 years ago. I just never got away from milk and water. Most of my family is not shy about having a little "nip" now and then and everyone drinks coffee. I may try the Mocha Frapacinno....

    Let's Bitch (Can't Hunt)

    Oh, some of it smell delicious. I just never developed a taste for it and caffeine (I know it doesn't have include it) drives me insane (more)!

    Let's Bitch (Can't Hunt)

    I may be a little out of the ordinary as well.... No coffee No alcohol No soda A lot of milk (probably too much) A lot of water Not necessarily a health nut but I get my share of activity for my age. I have a hard time being still - I wore out my mother's last nerve....

    Tools?

    Interesting. I have two of the original Bird-n-Lite vests (one because it was being sold by an individual unused for $40) and a BV16! I don't use the BV16 in TN because it is often too warm. I will check it out and rethink using it around home as my dog ages. She loves going down the...

    Browning Dura Touch Recall Repair

    Update: According to the Browning service website, the Maxus has been coated and inspected and is somewhere between a finished inspection/testing and shipping back to me. Benelli has sent me a forearm for the M2 but I do not have the Butt stock yet. I did call them to confirm that a Butt...

    Let's Bitch (Can't Hunt)

    I suspect there are a number of us on this forum that would buy Goose a good meal just to for the opportunity to meet him and put a face to all the text we have enjoyed. Bonus points if his cousin comes along.....

    Tools?

    Wingsnfins, I have been reading advertisements regarding bird hunting vests that will morph into a harness to carry your dog out of the field. I hope you never have to use it. I have carried my older setter out of some mountain trails in the Appalachians hunting grouse. Not ideal for either...

    Collars

    I may be wrong but the TT25 collar saves battery by only transmitting locations when the dog moves. There may be other improvements but that thought sticks in my mind. I have been running the TT15 minis for no other reason than I like the smaller form. I probably have to charge mine every...

    Browning Dura Touch Recall Repair

    I am in the same boat as Munster and can expect what Ky Setter experienced.... My Maxus shows "a gunsmith has started working on the gun" and Benelli will be sending me a new stock when it becomes available. Browning received the Maxus on 12/23/23 and Benelli confirmed the predicted shipment of...

    Gas Prices

    I hunted Iowa and Kansas and had to be at a function in Oklahoma City at the end of my week's hunt. Gas was $2.70s in Iowa a little less in Kansas and I bought in Oklahoma City at $2.41 on my way out and back to TN.

    First trip to SoDak

    There was a thread (on this site, I think) that discussed that pheasants actually lose weight when eating a diet heavy in soybeans and fatten up when eating corn. Makes sense when you think of the protein versus carb scenario.

    How often do you encounter the law?

    Good info and thanks. I have trouble keeping up with the paper or even reading it but as the world continues to evolve I will probably have that stupid phone in my casket!

    Flagging in the field

    Goose, Don't you hunt states that require orange? If so, have any officers ever asked about the lack of orange?

    Flagging in the field

    Check Tractor Supply for "Allen Reflective Trail Markers". In the past, I carried a blaze orange spring loaded clothes pin that had about 1.5 feet of blaze streamer on it. Very light when attaching to the grasses. I don't remember where they came from and eventually I lost or misplace the 2...

    Gun training puppy

    I have used similar methods to what BB describes. Usually by myself starting with a .22 pistol. I makes sure the puppy is has their nose engaged in something before I shoot the first time. So far, I have never had an issue....

    How often do you encounter the law?

    Thanks for the explanation regarding big game licensing. I hunt upland birds only (pheasant, quail) so that may be why I have not ran into any issues showing only the IA and TN mobile apps when checked. Just add to the data: in 40+ years I have been checked once in IA, twice in TN- never...
