Re: Sad Day

I know that I do not post much here, basically because I am new to raising and trying to train a gundog (I have had other breeds before), and though you may not know it I read just about every post made, and have found so much great information. That probably puts me as a bit of a lurker, but even s...

So I would take him out on a two-track, and drive while he ran like the wind. Normally he would run in ...

Sad Day

My dog died today. Since I usually talked to him about painful things I am feeling very empty tonight. He was going to be only a year old at the month. He had so much promise... He was so loving, good with the family, and a great friend.

Check your gear, and have your hunting party check their's before heading into the field. Sure stuff goes wrong on occasion but much can be preventable.

I grew up on them and love bass. It is a very clean tasting fish. My favorite way to eat is broiled fillets with butter and a dash of lemon juice.

For the cheap part the Mossberg 835 pump is hard to beat and it will do the 3.5 shells. Very versatile, durable, and reliable.

Among other things I keep a WWII folding trenching shovel. It is small, but super stout. It can pound through frost, dig out the tires, can split wood with the sharpened edge, and bury any evidence.
