I use the 1970's Ithaca auto loader 300XL model. Never had one problem in any weather or shooting low or hi base. The only thing is that it doesn't not have the screw-in chocks like the newer models. Hunt Grouse, Pheasant and Quail. It has two barrels IC and Modified.
Bob,
You would surprised/shocked how many released pheasants you have shot thinking they were wild birds on public lands/ditches. Maybe you wouldn't be so boisterous about the dreaded 'nare flares.' Don't let your ego override reality.
Sounds good, let me know. Went out this a.m. quail hunting around Okeene and GunnR pointed a covey and of course, as usual, I missed.
I usually hunt in the morning, so if you can make out to Drummond whatever time is best for you I'll meet ya.
My only time hunting out west is when I drove to Woodward to hunt Cooper WMA. Spoke by phone to the Sr. Game Biologist for Cooper he told me that the Quail population this season was the best for many yrs. Upon that advice I made the 72 mile trek. Well, I must of hunted the wrong area because I...

I'm very much interested in your 1450 e-collar. I own one just like it but had some issues. You can call or text me at (580) 614-1372. I also can be reached at my e-mail address: michaelsonmonte@gmail.com.
Thanks
Wow, the best hunting story I have ever read on the Ultimate pheasant forum, (and I've read a lot). You ought to write for a magazine. You worded the story in such a way it was filled with intrigue. I was all in; my interest, emotions and anticipation. A job well done. Keep writing I'll keep...
Yesterday was my 21st day hunting Drummond Flats WMA this season. I spent most of the morning watching the inauguration and finally got to the Flats and out hunting at 2:13 pm. Unusually cold for Oklahoma standards with temps in the 20's and wind approaching 12 mph.
About 15 minutes into our...
He was a rube, troll and used very inappropriate language, having used our Lord's name in vain. I for one had admonished him. I also had quit reading his posts and glad he is now History.
Thanks web guy for having the "intestinal fortitude" to banish him.
How do you get your dog to slow down when they are on hot scent? My dog wants to put it in over drive when he is trailing a hot pheasant and no amount of anything will slow him down except the e-collar which will effectively kill the hunt.
Any suggestions?
At 11:30a.m today I was rewarded w/my 4th Oklahoma rooster of the hunting season. Have lost one and missed three 😩 this season. GunnR worked him back and forth w/the wind to our backs and got in front of him and pinned him solid. Fortunately for me he flew straight ahead and I covered him and...
Met up w/skydiver yesterday at Drummond Flats and we hunted together about 3 hrs, saw several pheasants and 2 covey of quail that busted wild. We did scratch out a rooster for our efforts .Very foggy when we first started and by the time we finished it was beginning to clear. Little wind, only...
Skydiver,
Check out my posts on the Oklahoma site. I've hunted pheasant and quail for nearly 15 years at Drummond. 3 years ago I hunted 20 times taking 4 roosters, last year 15 times w/one rooster, this year so far 10 times w/2 roosters shot and 5 quail.
Find a spot that has a few trees and...

I Grew up in S.D. and presently own a trailer at Bob's resort where...
