    Prepping for a controlled burn.

    Our same group burned off 3 pieces of ground again today. On the largest burn 110+- acres we had a local small town fd out with 2 trucks. Trouble is the small truck with 400 gallons of water weighs over 15000ibs. That limits there usefulness. Have 2 more pieces a landowner is begging us to do...

    CZ shotgun rebates

    I took advantage of the rebates buying 4 of the qualifying dbls for our pf banquet. Rebate was a smooth process. As for the CZ quality I wasn't a fan originally but after talking with guys that sell them I changed my mind. Sellers said very few problems and excellent support by CZ. They are...

    Prepping for a controlled burn.

    The best preparation makes for the best burn. If you are wanting to do a spring burn fall mowing and baling gives a great headstart. If not done in the fall mowing and raking is a good idea. Lots of water and people who know what is expected of them is a absolute. We burned 4 pieces yesterday...

    Which Barrel First For Over/Under

    So I felt the same way but got a unpleasant surprise when I broke the action barely enough to reload the top barrel and then it didn't recock. I did it 3x just to validate what was happening.

    Remember Poly Chokes?

    I have 1 on my 50 year old 870 wingmaster magnum. I have never patterned it and don't know if it would make a difference if I tightened or loosened it. Unlike the previous 5(?) Buttstocks if it ain't broke don't fix it. My hunting buddies all give me shit about how rough it is but I shoot it...

    Lab guys sorry but....

    NAVHDA Utillity requires a dog search a body of water for a blind retrieve. No hand signals,no whistles just the original send. The dog is judged on a thorough search. Invitational/VC requires some long marks , doubles and blind retrieves I believe. I haven't participated in that event. You...

    Lab guys sorry but....

    Of course I do if it is safe to do so. Do you shoot birds that flush to your left when your flushing dog is to your right?

    Lab guys sorry but....

    Interesting that you bring up MH level of standards. You do realize most labs aren't able to do those? By the same standard MH in pointing dogs aren't allowed guidance,whistles/hand signals.

    Pointing to far/ not moving in on running birds.

    So here is my take away Pen raised birds are a small part of the problem. The real problem is the dog is still gun sensitive and has learned to point away from the gunfire. You may have accidentally taught the dog this while training to overcome the same problem. The only fix will be going back...

    Lab guys sorry but....

    And I might add I have a friend who hunts more then I do( he hunts a lot) with GSPs. He wants his dogs to run big so he stays out of the cattails or his dogs are just busting birds because they want to charge out then hunt back. He has no interest in being in the junk. I take my dogs into the...

    Lab guys sorry but....

    I keep a eye on my dogs the best I can. I use vibrate and tone to get them to check back or hold if on scent. I try and keep them within 40 yards of me or someone else in or out of the thick stuff. We all do it enough that the dogs know what is expected of them. Newbies I take out hunting...
