Legal in MN.

First thanks for all of the responses, it is really great to hear from all over the country and north of the border. I agree with most of you that lack of access and loss of habitat are the two biggest threats to upland bird hunting. But I feel motorized access and technology are a big threat to qu...

A local biologist for IDF&G writes a weekly nature column for the local paper here in Idaho Falls. In a column he wrote a few weeks ago he stated he felt that there were 3 factors that were the nemesis of present day hunting; technology, motorized access and competition. He brought out that with in...

I own a Camry and a 870, they are both super reliable and nothing to be ashamed of IMO, however I wouldn't walk across the street to look at either one, like I would a 65 mustang or a Win 21. A shotgun can be a tool, a work of art or both, nothing wrong with that.

PDSC_0069-h.JPG I am a Red Label guy for a few reasons...They fit me. They are made in USA. They are beautiful in my eyes, with just plain SS receiver. As such, they may go for 1000 -1500. I just paid 1325 for this one, and feel good about it. I have a couple of 12's, but this 20 is a real treat. M...

The new Red Label 20 gauge was suppose to be released this fall (not sure if it will ever be released), the 12 gauge had been selling new for about $1100. Right now I think $1100 would be about the right price, if the new ones hit the market that would drop. The fit and finish on my 12 gauge RL are ...

In MN if you allow hunters to hunt on your property (no charge) they assume liability, if you charge them to hunt the liability falls on the owner and insurance would be wise.

South Dakota requires non-toxic on all public land, With the exception of U.S. Grasslands,State School Land and Walk ins.

Just for clarification, over two million acres of public lands fall into "exception class".

Not required on most SD GFP's walk in areas.

Hey guys! I was womdering What is a reasonable price to pay for a healthy, quality bred lab, or DD?

Thank you all for the input. It seems like its the age old question, which is better Ford, Dodge or Chevy??? I appreciate any and all opinions.

I used to do a good bit of pistol shooting, mostly metallic silhouette, but some hunting.
