Re: auto, pump, or break

Not sure why the majority of my posts never see daylight on this forum but let me try this again. In the past I've owned several different styles of shotguns. Pumps, doubles, autos, and singles were all in my safe at one point. Something was missing though. For the most part, when bird hunting, I ca...

Maybe this is where I should have posted first. It's been a long time since I've bird hunted native recently found a local fellow that owns what appears to be a pretty good GSP.

Because my dogs are small and there's not enough neck on them for multiple collars, I'm get...

New guy

Just wanted to say hey to everyone. I'm new to the site but not to hutning with dogs. My grandfather had a GSP some time ago that was an absolute machine. I've hunted birds, coons, bears and rabbits off and on all my life with dogs but have recently found myself wrapped up into a sport that I feel i...
