I don't post often on the site but stop in all the time to read and learn from others. For the last year or so I've tried to stay out of this section because I didn't want to think about the day that I would have something to post here. Sammy was my first bird dog. I was 20 and still living with my ...

I had forgot about this thread that I started a couple of years ago. I did finally get a yildiz 12 ga. just a few weeks ago still waiting to shoot it. So far I'm impressed with how it feels and looks. The action is a little stiff but I'm sure that will break in and the ejectors throw empty shells 6-...

One thing I haven't seen mentioned is fit. If you shotgun doesn't fit you it is miserable to try to hit anything with it. You should try to handle as many different guns as you can and find what is comfortable to you. I see that you are in TX and have an academy sports near by. They are importing an...

I just picked up Stella Sisu from Lakeside last Thursday. Their current litter is all sold but they are planning another for spring and they were very good to work with and although I can't say yet how she'll hunt next season she seems very smart and bold around the house so far. 2britts, how are y...

rapid fire- Do you have ties to the area that you chose to try for grouse? I'm in the UP but a little ways from that area, and don't know much about it. If you are comming all that way and need to get on birds drop me a line maybe I can help. I have a few places I could share.

This interactive map application contains the most up-to-date information to help you plan your n...

I remember a while back there was some talk about the O/U from Academy Sports. Is everyone still as happy now with the guns? My parents are down south right now avoiding all the snow. I could have them bring one back now. Just wondering if they are holding up well.

2britts

Grange PM me your email and we can talk. I'm about 45 min north of Green Bay. I have the videos and launchers and am looking at putting together a group to meet for training as soon as we get rid of a little more of this snow.

Collar Clinic might be another place for you to look. They sell reconditioned units and offer a 6 month warranty. There are also some good deals on ebay. I picked up an upland specal 2 dog unit for $225 I took a chance but it works great.

Hi Bill glad to see that you made it over here. Just wanted to let you know for reference that my girls went to the vet today and were 28 lbs each. I know it sounded like size was a concern.

My sister just picked up a rescue dog 1/2 beagle - 1/2 black lab. He's 5 months old weighs about 50 lbs and has short stumpy legs. I don't know but to me it just looks funny to see that big a dog with huge feet attached to short legs. They live on a farm so I'm sure he will get a chance to hunt some...

I had the same experience here where I live. It is also the time of year that alot of these are going on. They hold them outside in the parking lot of Tractor Supply a couple of times a year. I got young homers for $3 each and could have gotten as many as I needed there were about 15 different peopl...

Looks like you had a pretty good day to me. I can't get out until this weekend I hope I have some luck too. I have land to hunt around Bark River but it will be the first year that I have been able to hunt there so I have yet to see what I will find.

2britts

I'm in Menominee about as far south in the UP as you can get. I'm about 45 minutes north of Green Bay.

There are actually quite a few solid copper slugs on the market

I looked mine up and the order was confirmed on April 29th

One of my three made it yesterday. Looks like it is built pretty solid. It made it to the house about 3 hours after I had left with the girls to go run. So I didn't get a chance to take it with me out to the farm. I should get a chance to try it in the next few days.

What part of Michigan are you from that there are not alot of birds? Alot of people travel to Michigan to hunt.

I live in town and put a lock on my kennel. It wouldn't stop someone who wanted to take my dogs, but it does keep out the neighborhood kids. I would hate to have them open the gate to pet the dogs only to have them get loose. My borther had it happen recently with his daughters show rabbit. The kids...

2britts

Thanks for the reply. My girls are young but I would like to get out and see an event.

2britts

I can hardly take my girls for a walk around town. The other night we walked about 10 blocks and it took over an hour. Every block someone wanted to talk about my girls.

2britts

Do you know when the fall schedule will be up? I wish I would have seen this before. I'm only about 10 min north of Peshtigo and would have made a point of being there to watch. I hope there will be more up here in the north.

This is a common internet scam after you send the excess money it will turn out that the bank draft is fake and you will be out all the money, as you will owe the bank the whole sum

2britts

This is the list from the begining of the video

6' lead
choke chain
25' check cord
cotton roping gloves
retreiving objects
blank or primer gun and ammo for it
bird release or remote launcher
e-collar w/ continous stimulation
lots of birds

Thanks I'm very happy with how they are doing. They were just 4 months on the 1st.

I was able to get some pigeons this weekend and introduced my brittanys to what they have to look foreward to

I took my girls to the vet today they are almost 4 months now. They were both within ounces of 17 pounds. The first thing they vet said is "what ever you are feeding them it is working well" after which I mentioned that I was feeding Diamond Hi Energy. To which he responded "You can do better than D...

griffgirl,

I had the same thing happen on friday. I'm on the Michigan-Wisconsin border. I took my girls out to camp and they came home with the bites. We did find a few ticks but they were all up around the ears not on the belly where the rings were.

2britts

My daughter is also 5. She is my little helper. Even if the dogs don't need it she is trying to help. I think she filled the water bowl about 15 times the other day. I can't wait to get the kids in the field to help me train.

I started with 2 dogs what am I in for??

I saw the thread about hunting around Crystal Falls and got to thinking. I live in the U.P. and have been lucky enough to spend lots of time hunting and fishing. I guess I just didn't know there were that many people traveling here to hunt birds. We do see alot of people around for deer season. How ...

I love all the brittany pics. It just reminds me to get out my camera and take more my girls are getting big fast

2britts

I ordered 3 guess we'll see how they work out

2britts

I think I may have to take a chance on these. I just got The Perfect Start/Finish set today. Look like I'm going to need lots of birds.

2britts

Between GDF and Walleye Central I hardly get anything done at work

2britts

I chose britts because I have 2 but I think it depends more on where you are and the cover you hunt.

2britts

I've been reading up and learing as much as I can. I picked up my girls a couple of weeks ago and starting to train. I have more time as of late due to a career change and decided to spend it with a couple of new dogs. I'm looking for a little help for a first time trainer. I think I'm going to orde...
