Bird Dog Training Lease in DFW area

I am about to move to the DFW area from Arizona. Can anyone point me into a direction of a bird dog training lease? I want to steer away from a preserve.

My ultimate goal is to have access to the land and ability to purchase birds, and train on my own.

Is this possible?

Thanks for the input.

Browning Citori Superlight 20 gauge O/U

I ran into a nice Browning Superlight 20 gauge O/U at a local gun shop; they are asking a little over $800. I have not read too much about this shotgun. The only thing I have been able to find online is the Superlight Featherlight. The shotgun I am looking at has fixed chokes in it. Any experiences ...

Re: Benelli Ultra Light, Montefeltro, or Browning Silver Hunter

Have any of you taken any turkeys with a 20 gauge Ultralight? I just held one and really liked what I felt. The shop did not have a 12 gauge but I really like the 20. With the right shot and load, it should be able to pattern nice at forty yards, right?

I believe the biggest difference in the two is that the 1187 should take at least 3" shells and the 1100 probably only takes 2 3/4" shells. This can be quite a difference maker in a 20ga gun depending on your type of hunting. What is the difference b/w the two types of shells (besides the obvious.....
