Have you thought about Wyoming for sage grouse? I have from what I have researched on the forum and people I have talked to the numbers are not there like Montana? I have never claimed to be the duty expert on anything... But, I can assure that Wyoming has way more Sage Grouse than Montana or any o...

I assume you'll eventually want to hunt the dogs at the same time. I've had many Setters that never had any problem hunting with each other, but, have had a few who needed to be reminded who's in charge. In my experience the key to running multiple dogs is to train and hunt them separately until bo...

I was in the area last weekend and did well. Even though the scenting conditions were on their side...!

Gents,

Where did you buy those water bowls used in conjuction with your stake? Yes, the ones that have an openning where you can drive the stake into the ground thru the middle of the bowl.

Thanks in advance,

1. Quail (all of them)
2. Huns
3. Sharptail
4. Pheasants
5. Waterfowl

Plan on trying to go for Duskies this season. At some point in my life, would really like to go for Chukars.

Have a great season and be safe!

Frank,

Great idea!

Ok gents, help a guy out! Just moved back after being gone for 8 yrs to Loveland, CO and I am looking for a hunting Vet. Got a GSP and DD, that will need their shots updated in a few months. Also, dog boarding! Any recommendations? Plus, anyone looking for a hunting partner? Look forward to your rep...

I own several Benellis and appreciate their reliability. The weight concern was more to do with the 4.9lbs and shooting mechanics of the sport. Recoil doesnt bother me...

Can you swing such a light shotgun effectively?

USMC

Okay folks,

Thinking of getting a Benelli Ultra Light in 28ga as my back up. I already own a Beretta Silver Pigeomn I in 28ga. My dogs and I hunt a lot on Huns, Quail and Sharpies...

For those of you that own one, is it too light?

Thanks in advance,

USMC

Different ribs will need a change in your pointing.

SBE has a high rib,

O/U has a flat rib,

Different point of impact.

Road trip! These are some of the things that I consider to make the most of my trips: 1. Find a buddy with the same hunting goals as you and who you really get along with. Prefeably somebody who brings a different set of skills than you do. Example, my buddy is an outstanding mechanic and I am not.....

Breakfree CLP, and shoot it wet. ? Not sure what you are questioning. Breakfree CLP is a cleaner, lubricant, and preservative that is sold at most gun shops, Wal-Mart, Bass Pro, etc. This quality oil has been used by the military since the Vietnam War and by most knowledgeable gunsmiths and shooter...

Well i suck! I let my dog down. She was a little scatterbrained at first, then she settled in and gave me 7 solid points. I missed 5 out of 7. On top of that i could only find one (actually she found it). I guess i need more work behind the shotgun. But she did great and probably thinks im a fool. ...

USMC

As others have said, if the dog continues to be break now he will do it for the rest of his life. I always bring a stake and tie my first year dogs for the entire season. Its good training aid and safer for the dog.

Enjoy your pup,

Are breeders in the US marketing to what is perceived to what a dog should look like in the field of Hunt tests?

Most dogs reach their height by the time they are 12 months old. After that they will "fill out" and gain two to three pounds. If your GSP is 55lbs now at 12 months, he will probably be 57lbs with good exercise and nutrition by the time he is 24 months old.

USMC

Ok Reba, help a brother.

How do you change it?

USMC

Thanks for,the reply.

Can you adjust the time.? Example, change from 1 minute from the dog goes on point to 15 seconds notice goes out.

USMC

I have hunted in the rain but not by choice.... The weatherman got it wrong. However, they all turned out to be awesome hunts...

USMC

Not sure if this is possible but here we go!

Alpha 100

1. Can you adjust the Dog on point notice?

2. Can the dog distance from me be changed from feet to yards. Mine changes between both.

Thanks in advance,

I feed 4 to 5 cups of a 30/20 dry dog food. When we go to MT for a week and hunt from 1 to 6 hours a day the amount of grub is increased to 8 cups of dry and one can of wet. The can food is to motivate the eating. They have at least 12 hours to digest it. They still loose weight but not as much.......

A pheasant can out sprint the fastest dog. Not to start any WWIII but there is no way a two legged pheasant can outrun a dog....! Just clarifying or just saying...

I think you will find little disagreement any more since it has been well documented the problems early neutering causes. If you feel you must neuter wait till physical maturity which means 2 or over. I would not neuter unless you are having a problem you can't handle any other way. The only real g...

Okay here we go! Season is upon us.. :D Full bodies will outperform shells, especially when you are hunting heavily pressured birds or late season birds. Suggest buying a mix and keep the full bodies closest to you as those are ones they will be eyeballing the most. Assuming you are doing the callin...

A Lab will never keep up with a DD in the indurance dept.... Don't care if the Lab is 55lb.. It ain't happening! By the way there are a lot of big DD out there.

Ya know if this is a gruesome as it sounds, there are so many good dogs around there is no reason to keep these two. I'd turn them loose hunting and see what happens. I am with you.
