    How user friendly are Garmin track/training collars?

    I have been running the Alpha 10 for the past several months on both my GSP's in both training and hunting scenarios. Overall, I am fairly pleased. It has taken some getting used to, but it's pretty easy. Likes: compact, GPS helps you keep tabs on your dogs in heavy cover. Cons: A little slow...

    12 Gauge vs 20 Gauge for bird hunting

    I love my 20 gauges. They are wonderful to upland hunt with, especially when you're on a really long walk. However, if I were to own 1 multipurpose shotgun, it would be a 12 gauge, no questions asked.

    Opinions on what bullet

    Berger HH worked like a champ for me last elk season. Boom flop. Gun went boom, elk went flop. 180 yards. Dead elk.

    Good to know. Thanks. What about the Alpha 10? Anyone have experience with that unit running multiple dogs?

    How user friendly are Garmin track/training collars?

    Hey guys. I've been running a DT e-collar on my GSP for the past 6 years will relatively few issues. However, I have now added a puppy to the mix and am looking to making the upgrade to a Garmin multi-dog track/train system. I'm familiar with the GPS functionality, as this is Garmin's bread and...

    Is 308 good enough

    My elk this year fell over dead where she stood after getting served some medicine from my Tikka 308. 168grain Federal Premium Berger HH dropped her where she stood at 185yrds and a 20mph crosswind. I would not hesitate to shoot any elk inside 500 yards with it.

    Upland shotguns

    CZ Upland Ultralight 20ga is a wonderful gun. I've had nothing but success with it thus far. As my universal multitasker shotgun, I grab my Browning Maxus 12ga. I've knocked down quail, pheasant, dove, ducks, squirrels, rabbits, and I don't know what else with that thing. Kills em dead.

    What Choke and shot size? Chukar/Quail

    For quail, I like #7.5 shot, 1oz loads in 20ga. For whatever reason, 1oz loads are harder to find, but I much prefer them. As for Chokes, IC & Modified paired together if I'm shooting an over-under. If I'm shooting a semi-auto, I almost always run an IC for most everything. I'll go to a modified...

    2022 Rut Report?

    Any news out of South Dakota? Got a last minute invitation to hunt up there on a piece of property I've never been to. East River Region.

    Butchered Quail smelling rotten

    Quail guts stink. Wash throughly and you should be fine. If need be, brine in salt water over night. Or, before cooking, marinade in buttermilk with salt. Makes for dang good tasting quail. Congrats on the success!

    Getting Meat Back Home

    Wow. Good to know. I figured TSA would freak out at the idea meat in a roller box. I'll check out the bubblewrap. Thanks.

    Getting Meat Back Home

    Hey guys, I am going on my first cow elk hunt in WY this season with a buddy. We are planning to fly into Jackson Hole and then drive a rental into our unit. For those of y'all that have done this before, I'd like to get your thoughts on how to get meat home should we be successful. We live in...
