Gun Dog Forum

I’ve found a few different products on the market that can be attached to a bike that make the ride a little safer for the dog and the rider. I’ve used a roading harness and let the pup either pull me or heel on the side but I feel that isn’t too safe. Anyone one use one of these and what would you ...

I just bought a BUL 12 ga with the 24" barrel. I do not feel it packs a punch. I shot a round of sporting clays with no issues. Plicked pheasants with 3 1/4 dram 1.25 oz of 5's with no issue.
