    Dog tracking system

    Thank you gentlemen. I appreciate the insight. The longer battery life of the alpha systems is a big plus. My biggest concern is any glitches/bugs of these systems, but most people seem to have minimal problems with them.

    Dog tracking system

    What tracking collar/system do you guys use? Pros and cons? I’ve got the old Astro system and it may be time to replace it with a new pup on the way.

    Young Bird Dog (hopefully)

    I agree with everything stated so far. In my personal experience, with two shorthairs, my dogs looked to me for leadership/guidance. That's because I am consistent with that leadership and guidance. My wife and two boys, not so much. So yes, you'll end up with a great dog both in the field...

    Silence

    This can’t be stressed enough. Far too many people talk way too much at their dog, creating background noise. Dogs will learn to tune you out when you’re always talking.

    BOSS 20 gauge 2 3/4" #5 for ducks

    I have used the 2.75" twenty gauge shells as well as 3" mags. Good results from both on ducks and geese. Keep in mind that this is small farm pond hunting.

    measuring rimfire ammo

    I was looking at the rimfire gauge sold by Neil Jones custom products while buying some other items. Why not measure the overall length of the cartridge as opposed to using this tool? Also, as someone who has no knowledge of reloading, is rim thickness something you'd measure in centerfire...

    Responsible Breeding

    Not trying to derail this discussion, but in terms of responsible breeding, what qualities do you look for in a prospective female? My dad and I have discussed the possibility of maybe breeding his female someday. Admittedly, neither one of us has any experience breeding dogs. We’re also not...

    Gloves - Best for late season pheasants.

    I like army surplus wool gloves. They’re ambidextrous, fitting either hand. Those and regular leather gloves.

    Dog Breeders

    Krystal Creek Kennels in Wisconsin. I got my six year old gsp from them and he's been a great dog, despite my lack of training knowledge when I got him. The Harmyer family was great to deal with. Mountains Fury in New York. My two year old is from them, and he's shaping up to be very...

    What Ya Changing Up This Year

    My dad and I are headed to Colorado for muzzy bulls on our own. Our two prior trips were with a couple guys who'd hunted the state several times before. This time it's just us.

    Colorado Maroon Bells Unit 43

    Thanks Muskeez. I remember you telling me that when we spoke on the phone a while back. I told my old man about that and he was definitely interested. I'll be in touch in the coming months about that bear keg if the offer's still on the table.

    Colorado Maroon Bells Unit 43

    My dad and I are planning a return trip to Colorado for muzzle loader elk this year. We're looking into both the Marble area as well as Sopris to the north. I have spoken with a number of individuals including hunt planners, the region warden/biologist, as well as a forest service ranger. All...
