Most of time I wear a long sleeve work shirt purchased at a second hand store. One in particular gets all kinds of of positive notices. I recall buying it for around $6.

I was referring to the pair in Chessie 67's photo not the pair of Labs in Chestle's photo. If those are Labs...Well excuse my error.

At the local Farm & Feed - type store look in the horse section for a spray product,Mane & Tail Tangle Free. Prior to the release out of the kennel at the field, I'd spray my Springer with with the stuff. Comb out after the hunt was alot easier with fewer burrs. Also, prior to the season have a...

Great photo! Few people realize what great upland dogs Chesapeakes are or how burr resistant their coats are, as well. The same nasty, weedy burr patch that would mat the coat of my late Springer has virtually no effect on my present Chessie. CBR's only real upland weakness are their lack of...

Do some research here and don't be shy about a call to the Idaho F&G Regional Office.... https://idfg.idaho.gov/

Great job on finding and getting one! What barrel length?

I forgot to add on my previous post that the 16 Ga. BPS was indeed on a 20 Ga. receiver, but for the 20 Ga. 3" shell. The receiver on the 16 Ga. is narrower than the 12 Ga., but I believe the same length. Browning did a crappy job of marketing the 16 Ga. BPS to dealers and the public. I worked...

I own two BPS'; a 16 Ga. with a 26" barrel and a 12 Ga. Upland Special that I replaced the too short 22" barrel with a 24" Hastings Wadlock11 barrel for better balance and handling. I like them both, but I agree that they are tad heavy. I think Browning has errored in not replacing the too heavy...

To me, I feel a great deal of the problem occurs with not drawing (gutting) the birds soon after shooting and then not keeping them cool prior to full out plucking or cleaning. As mentioned, I think a lot of people don't like red meated birds like sharpies and waterfowl because they over cook...

I grew up using Hoppes #9 and still have a bottle; however, I now use WD40 as a solvent on the first patch or two; followed by a dry patch and then a patch with CorrosionX or Barricade to coat the inside of the barrel and for the exterior metal.

My late Father refused to let me skin a pheasant; so through my youth and well into H.S., I was a plucker. At the time of plucking, water was boiled and put into a bucket. Each bird was dipped into the bucket and a plucking, I would go. The boiling water helped minimize the skin tearing.

I'll go with two of my former dogs, Buck an American Water Spaniel and Star a Chesapeake. Buck's nose was amazing. I recall him making several unbelievable retrieves on ducks; one a sailor that went into a large greenbelt and considered lost. A good hour after the first try by the hunter; I took...

Glad to hear of your good luck on finding a new vet.; I was shocked upon moving to our new home in Orofino, Idaho that neither of the two vet. clinics are accepting new clients. In fact one acted with a bit of a smart ass attitude when I expressed my frustration. Several vet clinics in Lewiston...

Thank you for the response, gsppurist; I appreciate it very much.

Before Sept., I will be moving to Orofino. I suspect blue and ruffed grouse are available in the nearby National Forest. However, I am curious about any public land hunting for pheasants and ducks? Can anyone advise me?

I've been out a few times since the Opener and although "handicapped" by a 5 month old GSP female puppy, I am getting the sense that more pheasants and Ca. quail are present than in recent seasons. Your experiences or thoughts?

With a little over a month to go, how is the pheasant and upland bird hunting?...Especially, the Spokane area bird hunters. Me...Better than the last couple years on pheasants and about average for quail. One former co-worker claims a "limit every trip"on pheasants on private ground in South...
