Yep, And all 8th graders have pretty much the same potential, it is just a matter of the right teacher or coach coming along and taking an interest in one of them and we will have the next Lebran James, Obama, or Gates; or at least a Noah, Bidden, a Microsoft VP. I would be happy with a high school...

Lemme see if I can answer all the questions....I never considered a mustlander, I don't know why, maybe just because no one ever suggested it, but I will look into it. I do plan on training the dog myself. I'm older now-kids are either in college or almost in college or out of school so there's no ...

I've used Uship and had decent results. Many times they have not been hauled by regular pet shippers but as add on loads or even regular families on vacation as a way to cover some expenses. I have had long haul truckers carry pups for me that i've found on Uship and Craigslist rideshare. My worst d...

The mendota 20 ft has worked well for me. Way stiffer and doesent fray or collect stickers like hardware store rope does. But I'd love to try one of the permatack one's. Not locally avalibile here but next time I need to order other stuff I will add one in.

I don't mind the large body patches. Here's my daughter of CH Erin's Tin Soldier.

For sure pointer. Looks just like this dog. http://www.angelfire.com/ma3/evermorepointers/sblack.jpg The structure is massive on that pointer. I'm not a big fan of the head and tail but I can definitely admire the dog. Beautiful specimen Coop. It would be fun to try him Stateside on wild birds.

They're fine, I've had five of the huglu manufactured CZ, and DeHaan branded guns. A mallard OU in 12 ga, a Dehaan OU in 12 ga, a 28 ga OU, Ringneck sxs in 28ga that I swapped for a double trigger Bobwhite also in 28 ga. They're all gone now that I found an older Spanish made 16 ga sxs that fit me p...

I've been there and Chris is being very modest in his description. Also I'd trust him with my dogs.

My guess is going to be crescent mfg. Cheap and plentiful back in the day. Anyone could have their store name stamped in if they ordered enough of them.

Looks GREAT! I'm buying my hubby a dehydrator for Christmas for jerky making. Saw what looks like a great green chile (for Mark above) jerky. It looked easy and I'm sure it's good. Just blend roasted chiles with warm water and a little salt (peel them first) then soak for 8 hours. Then put in the d...

Dsmtsi the 6.0 is not too bad from what I hear if you do the Egr delete. Also intake and exhaust upgrades along with a tuner should get you better mpg than any SUV I know of. I just picked up a 08 6.4 f450 I'm going to do the same to. The 4.88 gears are what's going to kill the mpg on mine.

The ecoboost f150 is a nice alternative too. The 7.3 powerstroke I have now I'm able to get decent mileage with an edge programmer, cold air intake and straight 4" from the turbo back.

Any recent crosses are not on the up and up. It's done, but as a behind the woodshed deal.

It's fine with me if I don't register. I'...

This is an older picture of my pretty new to me Red Setter. He's from the Hidalgo's Firefly Farm. Been hunting him on wild quail this season and he will definitely hang in there with my Pointers.

8 weeks for local buyers, and 12 weeks for shipped pups. 7 weeks is a barley legal minimum age in many states.

Pre-season scouting trip. It's never left me stuck no matter how deep the sand is or how steep the trail is. But it's a turtle on the freeway.

I had a ford excursion with the 7.3 powerstroke for about ten years as my hunting rig. Way too heavy and long for real off roading. Dog trailers get in the way if you get on narrow trails and need to turn around. I use an 85 4runner for my dog wagon now. Usually if its a longer trip I tow the 4runner.

[*So what makes a dog have grouse dog lines?] You will get different answers to this question from different people.

How about Ugartechea SXS's? I had one in 12 guage and 26" for about three years. I hardly ever used it, always grabbed the 16ga first. I swapped it in on a Browning citori lightning sporting clays.

How about barrel length? Single trigger vs double trigger? Thats a nice one pictured. I prefer 26" barrels and double triggers. They take a little to get used to but I find choke selection much easier and quicker than with a switch. I had an ugartechea from Lcs in 12 and 26" it was a tank to carry....

I also have found revival animal health to be the best prices. If they don't have the best prices they will match and beat competitors.

Welcome, I think you have great taste in caliber. 25-06 is not popular here in the states but it should be. What type of quail are native to Australia? I'd love to see pictures of them if it's something different than we already have here.

Some guys use baby socks. They drive me nuts, but if you have no money and nothing else, they do work. Get a package of baby socks.

Because Neil said so first. I want the dog to figure out that if he moves too close, the bird is gone. No reward. Whether he is able to figure this out is the real question.

Thanks Sharon and Neil for your responses.

Great response to the scammer! I tend to think it's the same scammer doing the majority of this.
