My best friend starting going bald at 18....and i mean bad.

He shaves his head now...

JWP58

good stuff!!

I love the liver pups!

JWP58

The only one i've ever handled in couldnt get shut, literally it wouldnt close until i flipped it over and used my leg for leverage.

I'll pass.

JWP58

I think the best time would be late winter. All of the acorns are gone and feeders become the easy meal

JWP58

Things to keep in mind: 1. Despite all the rumors, feral hogs do not wear kevlar vests (not bulletproof, .223 and up will work fine) 2. In light of the info above, theres no need to pack a howitzer 3. Pigs are mostly nocturnal, you may see a few in the morning and late evening, but mostly at night 4...

I've sold two road bikes off CL and some random bike parts. Thats about the only thing i look at or buy on there..

JWP58

Great looking pups!!!

JWP58

lol i was thinking about starting a thread like this. I'm trying to decide what to name my dog.....and its not even been born yet!

Male: Ace, Gauge, hank, Smokey,

Female: Molly, Daisy,

JWP58

Love the pics! (hope some more get posted!)

Brittlver, how old is the "youngster"?

I hope to find a group like this to help me train my first...

JWP58

I'm 6'1.25" tall and my wingspan is 6'3"...dont know if that qualifies as lanky, but i love the way my CZ bobwhite feels. Although it is a SxS i believe its the same LOP as their O/U's.

JWP58

We got some bad weather ( over an hour worth of hail up to softball size, lots of rotation but few touchdowns) last sunday, but NOTHING compared to what ripped through alabama.

That is one of the nastiest storms/tornados i've ever seen!!! Hope everyone made it through and gets back on their feet!!

I wanna-have a good hunting dog. Not an awesome field trialer, just a good bird dog that i can go out and hunt with successfully and enjoy it.... Got to get one first though.. JWP - The crux of the situation is this... Where you wannabe is where some are and where some have been. The problem is tha...

JWP58

Wow, i almost cant believe someone wouldve done that....almost.

What you shouldve done was blast the birds out of the sky when she let them out.....the proceed to tell her "Thanks, but i usually yell PULL! when i'm ready to shoot"...now THAT would be funny lol

Wow, that is awesome work. I've been looking for a used shell for my Dcab tacoma, and would like to do something like that on the inside.

JWP58

How much does land go for up there? I mean even if you only bought a small piece of land, if it was close or bordering a WMA/public land that would be awesome...

JWP58

I've shot a few and really like them, but the engraving turns me off too. I still look every time i go to academy, but i just cant get over the engraving.

I'll go CZ (canvasback or woodcock), unless they come out with something i like. Heck just a plain ol' blued reciever would be nice.

JWP58

If you buy a CZ double, make sure its post 2005. Since 2006 the problems are few and far between. But if you do have a problem CZ will take care of you.

I cant wait to bust some pheasants with my new 12ga Bobwhite.

JWP58

Still trying to decide.

I'd be in 100%, so i'm not worried about me. Just the apartment....who knows.

JWP58

Gentlemen, We tested the 28 CZ at Nemacolin and for repetative shooting, she has a couple problems, after the 1st 100 rounds the CZ stated to double and she became very very warm. Now for a regular upland hunting weapon she might not have problems, but the Ruger 28 O/U had neither problem and it is...

JWP58

Thanks for the info/opinion ruth!

Btw i've settled on a puppy.

JWP58

Dragging up the thread from the depths to ask another noob question....here goes. At the moment i live in an apartment (one bedroom). Would i be doing a diservice to a dog by keeping it in an apartment? I planned on waiting untill i got a house, but with my career search (law enforcement) process be...

JWP58

Yep, i think i read the same article in a texas park and wildlife magazine. I dont know if there are any fire ants up where i hunt (northwest texas), i've only seen red ants....but who knows.

JWP58

Where i hunt we have deer feeders and with game cams its clear the coons are a problem. Two years ago i would hear quail every morning while in the deer stand, this past yr, nothing! I am now waging a full on war with coons and hogs! Then i'll use the dead hogs and coons for coyote bait.....i believ...

JWP58

I now bird hunt California, Arizona, New Mexico, Wyoming and Oregon. Is there enough great public bird hunting land to make a big loop through Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota and Kansas? I would be limited to the game seasons. This would be a bird hunting odyssey. What other states would you hi...

JWP58

I hate to dig up an old thread but WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Is all i can say when i look at these pictures. I must say, i truely envy you guys....thats a dream situation, thanks for posting pic's...gives me something to day-dream about lol. This thread reaffirms my thought of..."i've got to hunt montana!...

JWP58

Great pics!!! Looking through threads like this really get me amped up to get a dog....

Again great looking dog and thanks for the pictures!!

JWP58

That setup reminds me of the one my dad built, and it worked for him.

Basically there was 4-5 runs with concrete floors that were enclosed in cyclone fencing and each run had a door to individual houses/pens inside the building (sheet metal building).

JWP58

Keep us updated!!

JWP58

Sounds like i need to move to montana....

JWP58

You eat those things?!!!!

JWP58

2001 Toyota Tacoma Double cab TRD offroad with 153,000 miles. I love my Taco, its simple, i dont care for all the electronic b.s. found in todays new vehicles. The only thing i've been wanting to add is a camper shell.

The most costly thing i've spent on the ticket as of yet is tires.

JWP58

heck the only option i have hunted is dove!

But i desperately want to hunt quail, phesant, chuckar, grouse,.....and anything else!

JWP58

Heads up, i just saw a CZ woodcock O/U in 20ga at Gander Mountain in LBK two weekends ago. It was a little more than your stated price range (it was 1000) but if i were you i'd go in and take a look at it. Maybe talk to a sales person, they might be able to work with you on the price or have lay awa...

JWP58

Great story, beautiful dog!!

Its actually the same color and breed that i want..

JWP58

Its super easy. Just have your FFL dealer fax the shipper a copy of their actual FFL. Then pay the transfer fee when you pick up the gun. Luckily for me CDNN is located in town so no shipping....just a $20 transfer fee. You will also have to pay for shipping, and some dealers will charge you a fee ...

I'm new to the upland hunting/bird dog world so i guess i really dont have a dog in this fight. Honestly, WHO cares. If you do trials, awesome! If you just hunt with your dogs, thats great too! In my opinion this sport is in decline, which i think we can all agree is NOT a good thing. Fighting among...

JWP58

I'd suggest going to a few shops and handling as many shotguns as you can. If it doesnt shoulder, fit, or swing nice for you move on.

Your best bet for saving on $$ is a pump, used or new. Nova, 870 express, bps, 1300, ect..

JWP58

Just south of you, Abilene. Although i do most of my hunting closer to Lubbock (jayton)..

JWP58

WMA's are wildlife management areas. I think the main difference is the hunting is restricted to certain dates (i.e. not open season round). Also studies and research are done in these areas by TPWD. I think most public land in other states are open to hunting all season, instead of restricted to sc...

JWP58

It would be nice to try public land, too bad its few and far between here..

Does anyone hunt the Chaparral WMA? The Matador is the closest WMA to me...any birds up there?

JWP58

Man, Idaho sounds like a winner. Whats public land hunting up there like? Lots of country or is it like texas...none (ok maybe not none, but close to it)

From checking the Idaho fish and game website it looks like the south-west part of the state has the most species of birds..

JWP58

I prefer to have the dog from puppy stage and move forward, even if I plan on having a pro train my pup. If you decide to go with a puppy, ask the breeder if he or she would allow you to work your puppy with the breeder when he works his dogs. I offer free introduction session every Spring to anyon...

JWP58

Hi to all, new member here! I'm really wanting to get deeper into upland bird hunting and want a dog (pointer). So heres my question, being this will be my first bird dog (my father had many, EP, GSP, Britt...unfortunately he's not with us anymore) should i get a puppy, started dog, or fully trained...

I've only had the privledge of hunting Doves (plan to change that this year!) but so far...

878 automaster 12ga (handed down)
870 express 12ga
870 wingmaster .410 (handed down)

And my newest edition a CZ bobwhite in 12ga. Hopefully i'll get some bobwhites and pheasants in '11.

JWP58

My guess is that you want to hunt phez. But if you want a mixed bag, I would suggest western ND or SD, where you can get a chance at huns, sharpies and prairie chickens in addition to phez. Or if you want a real mixed bag and are willing to travel, some western states in Oct. have up to 8 species o...
