    K-9 Komfort No Slip Grip 76" Lead/Leash - Anyone interested?

    About 20 years ago I bought a 76" black no-slip leash from the K-9 Komfort owner. He doesn't make them anymore but he said he'd do a special order for me if a bought a bunch. I need about 3-4 myself but I have to order a dozen. If you want one, you can have it for my cost, $25 plus cheapest...

    Giardia in Dogs

    Just had the annual checkups for the Labs. 2 out of 3 showed giardia in the fecal test. (new send-it-out-to-a-laboratory fecal test is $56 now!) So the vet prescribes ~ $160 in meds for each dog. Now a little history. I've had Labs since '81. Always got checkups, always had fecal tests done...

    Older 16 gauge Ammo - 3 Boxes. Estate Sale type stuff - Prefer Kansas City Area Pickup

    A friend was rehabbing an old house where the owner had moved to an elder care facility. Found a bunch of shotgun shells. I'm keeping the 12s and 20s but there were these three boxes of 16 gauge. I have no idea how old they are but they're not new. Price tags on the boxes show $7 on the Pheasant...

    Pasting Pictures in Private Conversations

    Anybody know how to just paste a picture into a Conversation to another member? I see the way to LINK a picture from a website or image hosting site. I'm curious. I can just cut/paste pics in the regular forums but I cannot do that in a PM, known on this BBS program as Conversation.

    Garmin Alpha 200i - First Impressions

    During the SD opener my son's DoubleTT Lab went missing in a tall cane field for about 15 minutes. Cane was about 6'+ in height, strong winds blowing; I doubt she could hear the whistle with all the cane rattling.. We all came out the other end, no dog. You can't go home to the grandkids without...

    Post Christmas 5 Day hunt.

    I got invited up to SD for a Family and Friends hunt on the 26th. Really, I think the invite was mostly to my dogs. :) We hunted a HUGE cattail patch, probably a half mile long and up to a quarter wide in some spots. 14 guns, about half walking and half blocking. I'm a walker; love to watch the...

    Which is the best hunt, point and retrieve gundog?

    Which is the best....whatever is always good for a spirited discussion. This is a view from across the pond of what I believe we Yanks would call Versatile breeds.

    Dog Hair! I've got it everywhere! - What brush/comb to use

    My yellow Lab is a shedder. She gets quality food with a spritz of salmon oil on it and a dab of coconut oil as well. Supposedly this helps with the shedding. Can't prove it by my house or car. 🙂 So I have a FURminator deShedding Tool that's part of our daily routine. She takes the old man...

    Kansas IWIHA Reservations - isportsman.net

    Hunting Bibs - UNINSULATED, with waterproof membrane?

    Years ago, back when Cabela's actually sold decent hunting clothing, I bought some bibs that were uninsulated and had some goretex type membrane that keeps the wind out and keeps you dry. They were actually marketed to deer hunters so the polyester fabric was soft and quiet...and picks up every...

    Snow!

    Well if I shot an auto or pump and didn’t shoot an O/U I’d have been done at the first point by the little girl. Doubled after she pointed 3 young cocks in a grassy slough. Nice retrieves by both yellow girls. Happy days. Limited a short while later. She’s a DoubleTT/Haynes Floyd Lab. Hope the...

    How deer management in Kansas has effected upland hunters

    Not to derail any other thread, I thought I'd open one just for this topic. I've been out of Kansas for almost a decade. I will be moving back though sometime in 2020.

    Mo-Skeet-O - Anyone remember it? Time to bring it back!

    I saw Britman's post about the Henry single shot shotgun. They also make a lever action smoothbore .22lr, they call a Garden Gun. I have been researching the old Mo-Skeet-O clay target game. I never got to shoot it but my older brother had a friend with the set up. He shot it. At the time, he...
