I met my best hunting friend 10 years ago at a nahvda na test, it was worth it just for that!

Dude that gave me a good laugh, but as we speak I’m packing cured meat with gallons of water to go do it again… maybe your right.

I’ve ran 2 through the na and left it there, too far for me to be more involved.

Nahvda na test is really laid back, not difficult in my opinion. Variable is young dogs have bad moments that can effect score. The UT test is more intense, find some guys in your chapter to see how far you want to go. Good place to meet like minded people!

Just read wild birds are not an option, my bad.. still plenty of time.

Ported are insanely loud, especially for your friends to the left and right.. we had a thread couple weeks ago but I’ll repeat, shot a ported and non ported benelli back to back and made up my mind in one shot..

Plenty of time, keep your head up. Steadiness is a job for the offseason, shoot every bird that dog points, or puts a good track on. You have a great opportunity right now to show a one year old tons of wild birds this year, it’s irreplaceable. Don’t waste your energy on a small detail so...

Is this her first hunt season at 1?

Amen

I feel your pain, wasn’t that hot but 70 is warm enough.. we did well!

My best hunting friend has a started English setter coming home today, 20 months old.. I’ll give you an update as he develops. Comes from a proven, well known kennel after lots of correspondence and videos showing where he stands.

I shot a 12 last week, profiles the same.. felt like I was cheating on my old one. If I didn’t have history and love for my old a5’s it would be fine

I have multiple dogs and most my buddies do as well, every night before we meet and make a plan they ask if my dog waterer is full. Set on the ground pre and post walk, no plastic bottles and bowls. Not sexy but it gets used every day in the field

Do it, life is short..

I’m afraid so.. everything is bigger out west, including the distance between birds!

Your right, sc is a black hole for public acres!!

Dude Ive got an idea!!

Good for you, I and more your sand and determination!

M2 will be my choice as of now!
