One of my most memorable & satisfying moments was hunting on the Indian reservation north of us. We just started hunting a field and 3 guys jumped in front of us and stayed about 250 yards in front of us the whole way thru the field.

Re: Which One?

I always liked feeding my very active dogs PPP 30/20. They did very well on it. After they got older and less active, I would use PPP with the lower amount of fat and protein. Switch it over slowly from your dog food you use now to help avoid loose stools.

Re: Pellets???

I don't worry about it, because if you swallow a lead pellet, it will pass thru you system fairly fast(unlike a gizzard in a bird where it stays a long time until it's totally ground up). If you are really worried about it, switch to shooting steel shot. :D
