I was thinking of picking one of these up with two collars. The dogs normally stay pretty close, but we hunt some think stuff. I think the peace of mind that the tracker would provide sounds good. Any thoughts?

Started the season not being able to hit a bird. Last year I did not miss once, and this year I shot two roosters and two quail with a whole box of shells. I have been shooting a lot of trap with a different gun, and think that that probably has a lot to do with my missing with the Maxus. I...

25 Antelope spot-lighted and shot, left to waste. The fines do not seem high enough to me. http://www.omaha.com/outdoors/anonymous-tip-leads-to-arrest-of-men-in-illegal-killing/article_896a6311-90a4-556c-b2b2-dcc2d46fad99.html

I took Molly out again on Sunday. We have not been able to limit yet this season, but we have gotten birds every trip. Yesterday was no different. Molly ended up tracking, pinning, and pointing a rooster after a few minutes. We had 4 or 5 more instances where she got birdy, pointed, and...

My dad and I took the dog and went out on Friday. 3 minutes into the field Molly points and moves and I loose her in chest high grass and brush. A rooster flushes ahead and off to one side. Dad fires one time and the bird is now out of range. He continues to watch it to see where it will...

I got a GoPro Hero3+ for Christmas. I have used it a few times but the videos don't seem to turn out to well. For those of you that have one, what settings do you use for your videos? Wide, Medium, Narrow? What program do you use to assemble a bunch of short clips into one longer video? I...

Yesterday after taking Molly out after birds, I stopped by a place that normally has a few ducks. I pulled of the road, left the truck running, and got out to see if there were ducks around. I slipped on the ice and almost fell. I glanced around and saw some shotgun shells laying on the ice...

I have been hitting birds pretty close and tearing a few up. I decided that I would load Winchester Super X, #6's, 1 ounce, low base and follow it up with the Federal PF shells if needed. Went out this morning, 200 yards from the truck Molly points a rooster. It gets up as I approach. I...

Took my dad and Molly out today. I was looking forward to the fresh snow and we were primed to go. We just headed out to some local public land where we have found birds every time we have hunted it. We walked a corn field and saw nothing! No track, nothing. My dad is getting up there in...

On Saturday I took Molly out to a game farm to put her on a few birds. With the numbers we found last year (her second season) being so low, I wanted to see how she did and get her some preseason training work. I planted a bird for her and hunted her towards that area. We had drug a bird...

I am looking into buying a new gun and am leaning towards the Browning Maxus. I would like to hear some of your thoughts. I like the wood with the nickel finish, but might like to use it for waterfowl as well. If I get the black synthetic stalk I would probably go with the 3 1/2 inch chamber...

We lost a good friend last week. Bandit was 12 and we brought him from Germany with us. A month ago he stopped eating and the vet could not find an answer. Tube fed him as they continued to search for a cause. We finally decided to end his suffering. He was a great dog.

I went south of Salina today. We started with a decent looking WIHA and found nothing. We went to a place that I can normally move a few birds around in and Molly pointed two hens. Nice work and strong point. My buddy moved in to flush as I tried to get my phone out to record the encounter...

Decided last night that I would load Molly in the truck and head out west this morning. Got out there right at sunup and hit a CRP field that looked pretty good. Hunted about half of it when 8 hens got up around 50 yards ahead of us. Molly got birdy a few times, with one close flushing hen...

Any one know if there is still snow on the ground in the Hays area? Thinking about making the trip tomorrow.

Do any of you have any experience with the Browning Maxus? I am thinking about buying another shotgun that I can put 3 1/2 inch shells through for geese. I have been using the 11-87 to hunt pheasant and ducks. Any information or recommendations would be appreciated.

I went out yesterday morning west of clay center. I have gotten a few birds so thought the rain would make it a little easier for the dog to scent birds. I drove past a field of winter wheat and saw 25-30 pheasant leaving their roost in an area posted no hunting. My truck driving by spooked...

Maybe it is not to late to get this Act approved. http://www.fieldandstream.com/articles/hunting/2012/11/speak-sportsmens-act?cmpid=enews113012&spPodID=020&spMailingID=4946401&spUserID=Mjc2MTMzNjA0NDQS1&spJobID=297897675&spReportId=Mjk3ODk3Njc1S0

I have a couple of questions for those of you that are more gun savvy then I am. I have a Savage 745 that my dad gave me 30 years ago. I shot it a few times back then, but have not fired it since then. It functioned fine using low base 8's but would not extract high base 4's. It was made...

I went out around Harrington this morning to see if I could find any birds. Had not scouted the area so I figured I would drive around and find some WIHA that looked good. As I was driving by one of the cemeteries out in the middle of nowhere I saw something out of the corner of my eye. I...
