also what are the best chokes to use on a O/U for pheasant hunting I have a pointing dog and most of my shots are close. I shoot IC in the 1st and Mod in the second. If you want, you can use Mod in both barrels you will just have to buy another choke. If I was going to hunt over a flushing dog, I w...

nj gsp wrote:I've settled on Winchester Super-X High Brass with 1-1/8oz of #6. This load patterns well out of all of my 16 gauge guns, and I use it for pretty much everything all season long.

This is what I use as well. I wish I could find some 5 shot.

Sorno

Shoot it or sell it, that is my theory.

Sorno

I use my 10ga with Winchester Supreme® Double-X® High Velocity Turkey in #5 shot. It has the best pattern in both barrels on my O/U. When I used my 870 both Winchester and Hevi Shot. Both patterned well.

I have one. I just do some gun shows and mostly work out of my house. I originally got it for some tax right off stuff and to get guns at cost and it grew from there. I only do 5-6 gun shows a year. The only advice I can give is make sure you have all your paperwork done correctly and just fallow th...

This will be the 4th year in a row that our group has been picked. This will be the first year for my g/f to go. That alone should make for an interesting year.

I haven't been skunked yet. I counted 43 turkeys last night next to where I normally sit.

Basset Hound.

Update: Since I have switched her to the Nutro Aludt she hasn't tooted once that I have been able to smell. 8) Also in the same time she has been starting to loose her shine. I think I am going to buy a bag of the 30/20 Nutro Max and mix some of that in there. I don't want to feed her the super high...

Update: I can for sure say it was the Diamond dog food that gave my pup the gas. After she was done with the small bag of Iams I put her on a small bag of Nutro puppy, no gas. I figured I would try the adult food as recommended in this thread. I bought a 20lbs bag of the Adut Diamond food. Three day...

I bought a 07 F-350 with the V10. After all my calculations it came out on top over the diesel. The only thing that hurts is the $100+ fills at the pump. But it would be worse with the diesel since in my area it is generally .50-.70 cents more per gallon. My order for heavy duty trucks would be: 1. ...

Update: Well cutting back on the dog food didn't seem to work for my dog. She still had the gas problem and I didn't really notice any change. I have changed to Iams puppy food just to try it out to see what would happen. after three days of eating it she no longer seems to have gas. It seems like s...

Sorno

Well it has been a week since I cut her back on the dog food. No change, in fact now she is always looking at the door where I keep her dog food looking like she is still hungry. I will try this until she runs out of food which should be close to a week maybe 5 days more. If that doesn't work I am g...

It could be that the food no longer suits the dog. People can develop allergies later in life; so can dogs. And, do you feed any treats or table scraps? I tend to feed my dogs a lot of healthy leftovers and broccoli sure makes them stankier than usual! I know if they eat anything like a pigs ear th...

I have been researching on here about dog gas/farts. The info I have been reading says it might be the dog food or eating fast. My puppy has been on the same dog food, Diamond Puppy, since i got her. She is now 10 months old. She started getting gas around the end of October. She eats extremely slow...

They are so cute when they are little. Then they get to that awkward stage of being super tall and thin as a rail. Then they get all cute again.

I am extremely lucky.

I use "stop", not whoa for the reason you just stated. I like sharp commands. Same reason I use "here", not come. A lot of people start them at the food dish when pups. I really don't believe you can start training the whoa command at too young of an age. I agree with you. 8) I don't use the "stand...

My new puppy had these little red rings as described. I let them go for the first day then called the vet he said if they don't go down go away in 24hours bring her in. By the time the 24 hours were up you could barely see anything. a couple days went past and she got them again. I called the vet an...

My old girl starting having issues when she was 7 almost 8. She was having stomach issues and bowel issues. I had her spade and that ended all the problems. She is now 10 and is better then when she was 8.

Only springer spanials and GSP's. I will stick to the pointing dogs after the last springer.

Poor puppies have so many collars on that they can't even bend there necks.

The smallest bird I have shot that i wanted to enjoy was a teal. I used a 12ga with 6 shot steel. Pheasants are 12ga 5 shot lead or 4 shot steel depending on where I am hunting. I always use heavy field loads in 2 3/4" shell. Never seen a need for a 3" shell for pheasants when you are hunting with a...

Howdy,

I am from southern MN as well. I have an old gray faced GSP at home. I would never got with out a GSP.

Sounds like a great trip. Make sure the pup doesn't ride on your wife's lap on the way home. My wife did that with the last GSP pup and he has ended up being the world's largest lap dog at about 60 pounds!! Enjoy the trip. I see no problems with that. :D That is a dang long trip to pick up a puppy....

With light field loads, or heavy target loads the recoil is non-existent, and follow up shots are quicker. If a 7 1/2 lb gun isn't a problem, why are you worried about recoil? :lol: Sorry i thought that was kind of a contradiction there. :wink: Hey Sorno...finish reading the sentence. I really like...

Love Ruffed Grouse but never have the time to go hunt them.

Pheasants would be a close second thou.

No, but I have been there many times. My father and I just have a small business out of his home. We hit up gun shows around the area and do special order for people.

I am not brand oriented but I mostly have Remingtons.

I think they are nicely made, and looking, guns but for some reason they don't fit me very well.

My father and I have an FFL so that won't be a problem.
