Check out Lion Country Supply they usually have a few nice consignment doubles for sale..... http://www.doubleshotguns.com/aboutus.html

Thanks for the heads up!

How about barrel length?

Single trigger vs double trigger?

Here is the Bolero

I'd keep an eye out for a used A.Y.A. I've seen a few used ones in that range at Cabelas gun library. I’ve been looking at AYA’s on gun websites. Didn’t know anything about them. They are some nice looking guns! I’ve found a couple around $600. Do you own an AYA? I sold the one I did have to buy mo...

I really want a classic Side x Side or Over-Under. Initially I wanted a 20 gauge but open to other gauges. Will be used for upland hunting (mainly pheasant) but also sharpies, ruffies, prairie chickens, huns and on occasion doves. I hunt a lot of MN public land so I need something that can handle no...

Check the drop at heel and comb. The older guns were chin mounted and not cheek mounted. Damascus? If steel barrels I still wouldnt run steel loads through it. Bismuth or Hevi-shot, low brass. The Smith's have a tendency of cracking at the wrist/sidelock when using hot loads. Don't extend the chamb...

Nice pics rk. Is that a little French Britt? What area do you hunt? I grew up in N. Minn., and had a chance to check out the Aggasiz Dunes area Near Hwy 2 this past winter. I don't know if they'll ever open it to chicken hunting, but it was good to see the project finally get off the ground. Nate T...

I've been saving $$$ for a new gun and looking for quite some time now. Came across an LC Smith 2E 12 gauge today. Gun is in good shape and seems like a fair price. My only concern. I mostly hunt MN public land, non-tox shot is needed, will this gun be okay with non-tox? The associate at the gun sho...

Here are a few photos from our 2013 MN Prairie Chicken season. First time hunting chickens. Cold, wet, windy weather but a great time. Any day you can spend in the field with your father, following bird dogs, is priceless. I've heard prairie chickens normally don't hold tight for dogs. My dad manage...

I went on my first ND sharpie hunting trip. It was a ton of fun and I learned a lot. Poured rain opening morning. We did a lot of walking but managed to scratch down a few sharpies. Poor shooting, great dog work. Hunted over a flusher, a mutt (springer/gsp mix). Hunted all PLOTS land around the Gack...

We have the grindables made into cheddar meat sticks, brats, ring bologna and jerky. I like to cook up steaks and put them in Zatarain's Jambalaya or Dirty Rice...pretty good and easy. Simply pan frying with mushrooms, onions, and salt/pepper is tasty. I love venison...I probably have some form of v...

Good looking crew! Wish I had the space for multiple dogs...lucky!

My dads EB has a short tail, maybe shorter than he would like but there's no doubt when she's birdy.

Saw my first FS1, what a nifty looking little gun! The one I handled was a 16 gauge, light, silver receiver nice looking. Anybody own a FS1?

So I was sitting eating lunch the other day, paging through my new Gun Dog magazine, when I flip the page and theirs my parents EB Georgia. Kinda fun to see a dog you know in a bird dog publication that you read on a regular basis. Picked up an extra copy for my six year old niece; figured she’d get...

Not yet...still on the hunt put a request in with the neighborhood shop, they are normally pretty good about filling requests.

Had my first Surly Abrasive Ale last night....it's pretty darn good, one to try if you like Double IPAs.

Congratulations to Larry and Earl on winning the Hobart Ames with Whipoorwill Wild Speck, which qualifies her for the NC to be ran next month on the same grounds. Want to guess how big she is? She looks tiny compared to Randy's dog and her kennelmate, the 2nd & 3rd place dogs. I couldn't have scrip...

Looking for something related to bird dogs, bird hunting, PF, etc....

Anyone know of anything out there?

rkappes

Really nice, thanks for sharing!

I love working the young dogs out of Piney Run Art aka Artie. I own 1 myself and have worked with a few more.. All have been real strong bird dogs with power and endurance.. I like the bigger brits, just what I personally like and glad we have a choice. Mo Artie looks huge in photos especially stan...

Every breed has a breed standard, it's up to each breeder to abide by it... Or disregard it completely. But if someone wants a dog that is big like a pointer and runs like a pointer, get a pointer. Why ruin another breed's standard and integrity to make it into everything it in not meant to be? Eve...

Lagunitas Hop Stupid is like 110 IBU's...it's pretty darn good, IMO. Have to be a hop head to like it. I also tried the Indeed Midnight Ryder, a Black IPA. It's like 65-70 IBUs, I have to go look at a piece of equipment next week, and it's about a block away from the Indeed Brewery...I'll have to s...

I agree, rules are rules. I was just curious why they have the rule, where it came from, or why it matters?

Ditto on 8-Bit and Buffalo Sweat! Have you guys had Velvet Rooster from Tallgrass? Great name and good looking can....but I wasn't a huge fan. Guess I'm not a huge fan of tripels in general. I have discovered that I'm a big fan of IPA's and DIPA's. Brought home a 4 pack of Surly Abrasive.....and it...

At this moment I'm drinking a Rogue Chocolate Stout...pretty darn good.

I support the local Manhattan brewery Tallgrass. I really like the Ale, Buffalo Sweat, and occassionaly the 8-Bit. Give their beers a try if they are available in your area. Here is a link to their website http://www.tallgrassbeer.com/ The best beer though is one enjoyed (any brand) after a long, h...

Just reading through the UKC rule book and came across this…just curious why a dog would be DQ’d if the owner didn’t indicate the dog is altered? Why does it matter if a dog is altered? "Neutered/altered dogs shall be eligible for all UKC field trial competition in the Open Dog Class or Gun Dog Clas...

I tried Innis & Gunn about a year and half ago, after a day spent at a hunt test, and it has been my favorite ever since. It has a very interesting and unique flavour (it is 'aged' in barrels that were used for rum, scotch, etc) - the Original is my favorite. I have only seen it sold in singles, so...

Weird to think that some people don't care for dogs....they are missing out.

Congrats on the new pup!

What breed are you getting?

rkappes

Beer, jerky, couch and nap time! :D I'd say its the 'stuff' outside of hunting that connects us. Whether its napping on the couch, riding on the golf cart, hangin' out in the ice house, biking/hiking trails, going for rides in the car, etc....just fun to have the hound around and involved. As far as...

Janine keep up the good work. I'm a HUGE advocate of rescue dogs. Lot of good dogs out there. I used to volunteer at a resuce, ton's of dogs surrendered because of stupid reasons. We've rescued/adopted three dogs so far. One purebred brittany, one JRT mix and our current dog Jersey, a GSP/Springer m...

I read a story in the paper a while back about a bald eagle nest that had fallen to the ground and it had 51 dog/cat collars in it. I believe it was over by Detroit Lakes or Perham MN, somewhere out that way. Kinda crazy.
