Re: Garmin Astro - display issues?

sounds like a display bug - have you tried updating to the latest firmware to see if this cures the issue?

Re: TT G3 Sport Upland

I have that same collar/beeper. One tip is that the beeper can be pretty loud, loud enough to spook a dog that isn't used to the noise.

I stuck a piece of duct tape over the beeper and that reduced the volume to just about the right level.

Re: Duck

Curried duck is fantastic. Actually better than chicken, almost like lamb curry to me. The extra firmness and flavor are really beneficial when using duck in a curry. Most Americans I know probably aren't too thrilled by the taste of a curry, but growing up in the UK it's a flavor of home to me :D P...

PA Grouse Hunting

Had a great weekend in north west PA. Appears to be plenty of birds around, certainly more than last year. Was a bit reluctant to take my 5 1/2 month old pup with me initially, but my hunting buddies persuaded me to bring him along. He had an awesome time running around the camp, and was very well b...

Re: Nova program on PBS: "Dogs Decoded"

(spoiler alert!) :-) I'd previously read about the Russian experiments with Silver Foxes, but seeing the results was really interesting. I don't think they mentioned it on the Nova program but the article I read mentioned that the genes that select for domestication also bring the ability to underst...

it was on my local PBS station last night. Great program with some startling facts about dogs. I highly recommend it.

Re: Remington Model 31

I was really fortunate to be given the honor to buy a 16 Gauge Model 31 from a friend. I think it dates from 1937 and it has a 26 Inch plain skeet barrel. This has to be the tightest skeet choke anyone I've shot with has ever seen. It will easily break clay targets at 40+ yards. Something about the ...

Re: New Pup

I slept in the spare bedroom with the crate on the end of the bed. After the 3rd night I put the crate on the floor in the bedroom. Seemed to work OK for me.

Re: astro dc 40 issues

I have a DC30 and a DC40. The couple of times I've used them together side by side the DC40 has picked up the satellite signal much quicker than the DC30. Haven't seen the connection problems that other have mentioned with the newer collar, but it's still pretty early. New charging system is much be...
