    Turkey load?

    Long beard xr. 3.5 inch #5s if you want to shoot to 50. 3 inch #6 40 and under. Gun, choke and ammo all need to work together for best patterns. Tons of youtube videos show endless results. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Off season for the dogs

    Already started back into retrieve work. He is progressing well (knock on wood) so just refreshing on different objects to proof the training before moving it into the field with fresh shot birds. Once I am satisfied with the retrieve work then we will go right into steadiness and focus on it...

    Questions about first waterfowl dog.

    You want a dog with a good temperament. All the drive in the world doesn't matter if they are so high strung they are unbearable to live with and some breeders that want ribbons don't take care enough about an off switch. There are some very successful breeders with plenty of titles on their...

    Choosing a Dog

    Here is some information that most people won't tell you: Hunting dogs are a pain in the ass no matter what when you first get them. If they aren't then you probably don't have a hunting dog. Most dogs take two full adult hunting seasons to truly season, mature and learn that at home they rest...

    Diamond Black Ice Modules

    Good luck. I had the Diamond Black Ice FLX - rotating module - and killed many, many deer with it. Nice drawing bow.

    Paintball gun as bear deterrent

    Frozen paintballs might be an okay solution if you shoot them in the face. I have friends that deal with bears all the time and use less than lethal rounds and spray on bears. Show no mercy or they will just be back the next night.

    Help me choose a Duck gun

    I truly don't think this decision is as agonizing as you are making it. Just get a 12. Why? Ammo much, much easier to find and much cheaper local and online. I have both a 12 gauge and 20 gauge for waterfowl but if I was picking one it would be the 12 gauge. Also, don't get 3.5 inch mags...

    What to look for when buying a pointer puppy.

    Questions to ask. Drive? Cooperation? How much do they actually hunt their dogs? Where do they hunt their dogs? What birds? What range/pace are they moving? Do they check in often or do they go long periods without? Natural Retrieve Ability? Water? How steady are they? Did they do formal...

    GPS collar and unit advice

    The alpha 10 is a toy compared to the other units IMO. I think very few people would be happy with it as a stand alone unit and it’s overpriced for what it is. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Which Garmin handheld/ comparison

    I hunt thick cover and the 550 plus is great for me. I have a Garmin watch and rarely even use my handheld.

    New Griff pup

    do the AHAE in September. It would be a perfect. Needs to be steady to flush, retrieve to hand. Field, drag, blind water entry, track behind duck, marked water retrieve with gunshot. It is a hunting dog test more like the breeders test in the German System. This test is still weighted...

    New Griff pup

    Congratulations! I ran VHDF over the weekend. The pup blew up on the track but still managed a 59. I had been hoping for 64+ and we would have been there if I would have prepped him for the track a little more seriously. If you get a chance, I recommend looking into the VHDF. Their tests do...

    Best Pheasant/Grouse/Family Dog

    Literally you and other people that just sing the praises of one system and then downplay the difficulty of others gets annoying in these threads. Just stop. We get it. FT dogs are the best lol

    Turkey gun for backpacking

    Personally, I believe a 410 is a poor choice when compared to a 28 gauge. If you want a small bore turkey gun. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    40 yard turkey

    I really like that 30-40 yard range to shoot birds. If you end up with pellets in your turkey’s breast that is unacceptable to me. A pellet ripped body is the result I’ve seen from super long shots - that typically occur with tss. Hell I get less pellets in the body with a skeet tube on...
