    Entry Level Gun For The Wife

    The wife has decided to join me for hunting this year but being 5' 3" non of mine or my fathers guns will fit her. I know Franchi offers two women's specific guns and Syren has a line, though it's way out of the budget. Does anyone else make a women's line of guns?

    Astro 320 still worth it?

    My buddies wife forced him to get rid of his dog this past weekend so he's selling some of his stuff. He has an Astro 320 that he's looking to sell for $300 and I'm wondering if it's wort it. I've never had a tracking collar before but I like the idea and this seems like a cheap way to get one.

    Rubber boot sizing

    I'm looking for a rubber boot to wear while pheasant hunting, training, and at the dog park, I typically wear a size 9.5-10 shoe. When in the store the other day I tried on a size 10 Muck Wetland and it felt like my foot was swimming in the boot, so I tried on a size nine and my toes were...

    How do you determine if there's a huntable population?

    Was driving around with my father in law yesterday who was looking at deer hunting properties and I couldn't believe the number of pheasants I saw. I'm trying to steer him towards a property that would be good for both deer and pheasant, but how do you tell if there's a huntable population in...

    Hi, I’m going to be partaking in a quail hunt at a local game farm in a few weeks but I’ve never hunted quail before, heck last year was my first year hunting pheasants. I’m wondering if I’m ok with my 12 gauge or if I should borrow my uncles 20 gauge? Also, the place we are hunting is steel...

    Windproof/resistant mid layer

    I'm wondering if anyone can recommend a good windproof/wind resistant layer for wearing under a hoodie or quarter zip? I prefer to wear them with my strap vest when it's cold instead of a coat with a built in bag.

    Accessible Hunting

    My dad wants to do a pheasant hunt in SD in fall of 2018 but he can't walk more than 200 yards through a pheasant field. I'm wondering if anyone could recommend an outfitter or ranch that might have experience working with individuals with limited mobility.

    I have a 1 year old SM that I took out for her first pheasant hunt on Tuesday, previously she's only been on game farm and trainer birds. This was very different cover then anything she was trained in and I'm hoping that's what the issue was or maybe it was something else. We came across 11...

    Vizsla Breeder?

    Can anyone recommend a good Vizsla breeder in or around MN? Also is there a breed group similar to what the small munsterlander has in the SMCNA or KLM-GNA? Have a buddy looking for a breeder and want to make sure he gets a good one.

    So I got my first dog last fall and this will be my first ever season hunting and I'm wondering if some people wouldn't mind someone tagging along with them. I am not looking to steal spots, just looking to get experience and hopefully put my dog on some birds.

    using an e-collar

    I have a 7 month old SM that I've had an e-collar on for a few months but have only been using the tone feature for recall up until this point.

    I?m buying my first shotgun, up until this point I?ve used my uncles old SKB 12 gauge pump. I don?t have a lot of money to spend and need to keep it around $600 or less.
