My dog wears a leather collar from Gun Dog Supply for everything, including waterfowl and I've had no issues with the leather stretching or holding up. I treat periodically with Obenauf's and after 2 years it still looks like new.
It's always been my thought that I'd rather bust my tail packing out a sure thing than bust my tail hunting for several more days hoping to get another opportunity. I won't risk losing an animal, but I also won't let the thought of a mountain of work stop me from taking an opportunity, because...
Delta, American, United, & Southwest have all stopped accepting dogs as checked luggage. You can ship them as cargo on American or Delta but I would have a hard time taking that risk just to have my dog along with me on vacation. It would be cheaper to board your dog at home for a week and I...
A whole lot of truth to it. It's about as good of a traditional green timber hunt as you'll find in the state. Unfortunately, your odds of getting a hunt booked there are probably really low. They have repeat guys that hunt with them every year and have for 20 or 30 years straight. They have...
The blue tape is 2" wide so the pattern is about 8-10" wide . I don't feel like that's too tight for me. You're really not going to notice much difference in a 20 yd pattern between a 575 and 585 anyway. You have to get pretty drastic on your choke to really open up a 20 yd pattern with...
I have 3 I rotate through on every hunt. I start the rotation over every 4th day. Seems to keep me from burning out on eating the same thing over and over.
1. Dried Salami & Cheese on Bagel
2. PB&J on Tortilla
3. Flavored Tuna pack on Pita
With all 3 I put a pack of Cheese Its or small...

My 7 yr old son on the way to school "Dad, you know school is actually just like prison......except worse because they don't make you learn in prison" Wait till you have to get a job buddy.
When I hunt with my Browning A5s that don't have interchangeable chokes, I carry a modified and improved cylinder barrel. One barrel stays in the gun in a regular soft case and I carry the extra barrel in a pool cue stick case. Doesn't keep them in the same case but works really well for me.
I'm far from an expert on SxS but had an itch for one a couple years ago and went through the same thing. I narrowed my short list down to AH Fox A grade or a really nice Fox Sterlingworth, LC Smith Ideal grade, or a Parker VH. I could never find an A Grade and or Parker in decent condition...
