Congrats John. Bruce has had lots of good things to say about Wyatt.

Bruce have you ever heard that story before? I just want a good hunting dog, next thing its hunt test, field trials, etc etc.

MillerClemsonHD

Congrats, Bruce had told me he was pretty sure he was going to get it. Sorry we didn't get to add any points to the list maybe next year.

MillerClemsonHD

Congrats man she has had a good spring thats for sure.

MillerClemsonHD

Congrats man, glad to hear you guys had a good one. Your brother headed north yet?

MillerClemsonHD

Good luck Ross. When is Gent getting back out there? Didn't get to ask Matt last week when I talked to him, but he said he is doing well.

MillerClemsonHD

Take your time and search for a deal. Remember that in late spring and early summer odds are you can find better deals than during hunting season. I found one for $350 after shipping and transfer. Has a few scratches but nothing too bad and I didn't buy it to hang up on the wall and look at. When yo...

MillerClemsonHD

I have one and like it. I would look on gunbroker though as you should be able to find one cheaper than that. It would have to be in 100% condition for that price and if its going to be a field gun a few scratches won't hurt.

MillerClemsonHD

Go here and search by state and type of event.

Trying to read all of the requirements from the different venues from the website can get confusing. You will benefit most by attending a test or trial for any venue you are interested in. While there ask questions about specific things you see or rules that weren't clear to you when you read them. ...

Go shoot some of both and figure out what you like before you buy anything. Some people don't like the sight picture on a SxS if they are used to shooting a pump or semi. It is all personal preference. Find a club or range and shot any gun you can get your hands on and figure out what you like. If y...

Congrats Parry and Bruce.

MillerClemsonHD

Awesome post Adam. Some of us wish we lived out there in the sportsman's paradise to give us more time in the field. I know I'm thankful for the days I get each year even though there are a whole lot more days of walking and sitting in a blind and the only shooting that happens is BS, but it sure be...

MillerClemsonHD

Thanks Bruce. Really happy with what you accomplished with Mae. We are having fun hunting in Indiana and enjoying having her back with us. You definitely spoiled her while she was with you as always. At 19 mos I have no complaints of what you have accomplished with her. She has is 100% business from...

I bought a Alfa in 209 and while I spent more for it, I don't intend to ever replace it. It is built as well as any regular firearm and see no reason it will not last.

here it is in 22

I was hoping when I looked it up one of them would be the weekend before Thanksgiving so I could run while Im back home. Oh well at least I will get to chase some birds while we are there.

MillerClemsonHD

Thurs. I will pick up my 6 month old pup, Wyatt from Bruce my trainer!! I'm sure Bruce can't wait either!!! :roll: I feel I call Him all the time to see how he is doing and to ask all the newbie questions! He has been training there for the past 4 weeks and sounds like he is primed and ready to go!...

MillerClemsonHD

We were quoted $75-100 per dog per dose. Ended up being about $30 per dose and the vet didn't charge us for a visit to administer the shots. So our total ended up being about $60 or so.

MillerClemsonHD

Congrats. Glad hear you and Calvin are making a good team.

MillerClemsonHD

I have one as well and love it. I have killed a few doves, a sharpie and a couple of chickens with it already. Will have some quail and maybe a ruff grouse or 2 by the end of the year. If you only had him show you 4 you were an easy customer. I went through about 15 before I found the wood I liked. ...

MillerClemsonHD

Where do you live? That will make an impact on some of the suggestions you get.

MillerClemsonHD

Good post babe. Much better than if the rest of us had tried to remember what had happened after we got back and tried to put something together. You forgot a few key points though. After the stop to flush and one dead bird on the way back to the truck the great point Mae had she let me walk in and ...

MillerClemsonHD

I got the Husky in the Filson's and they fit well. I do not have skinny legs at all. I have had that problem with other chaps I have tried in the past.

MillerClemsonHD

I bought these recently and am very happy with them. I have seen them quite a few other places as well, but I wanted the double tins with zippers, no desire to have to take off my boots to take my chaps off or put them on. They aren't cheap but they are made well and have no doubt they will last a l...

MillerClemsonHD

You have to train your pigeons to home. Letting them out to fly right be feeding time. They will do some loops around then come back in. Whistle or make some other noise that you will make every time you feed them so they know to come back to that noise. Then you have to gradually move a half mile d...

MillerClemsonHD

I have one of these in 3 dog and am very happy with it. Feel much better about the dogs riding in there than pretty much any other option. Doesn't get cold enough here for locks to freeze like is does where Doug is. It is light enough my wife can help me get in/out of the truck. The top storage is g...

MillerClemsonHD

put your pedigree's on here, http://www.perfectpedigrees.com/ and you will get some feedback on the lineage of your pups. There are many different titles a dog can earn and they all mean something different and impact what the pups would be worth. Start there and you should get some more feedback fr...

I might just have to open a distribution company to ship yildz to FFL west of the Mississippi since Academy doesn't want to do it!!

MillerClemsonHD

In the summer heat we open the vents and make sure there is water in the box with them to drink and when some spills it helps cool them down as well. Our summer is nowhere near 30 below but did get down in the teens last year. Keeps vents closed, Hay in the box for warmth for the dogs, pulled back t...

MillerClemsonHD

I do not think they will sell and ship to an FFL.

MillerClemsonHD

Your going to have to head east to find one. Maybe go visit some family or an old friend and come home with a new toy. Academy is importing them directly and only place selling them.

I have one of these with a side firebox on it that I use to cook BBQ. Total was around $200 and I can cook 9 6-7lb butts on it. I cook mine at 200-210 for 22hrs and have no problem keeping the temperature that low. Pain is adding charcoal every hour or so, but makes some dang good BBQ. http://www.ch...

MillerClemsonHD

look on Gunbroker for some comparisons in condition, price and factor in $50 for shipping/transfer fee.

MillerClemsonHD

I'm with you. Like a nice shotgun but really care that when I pull the trigger it goes boom and is going where I aimed it. Someday might get a nice browning or something but for this price great gun to shoot a few years, and won't hurt my feelings if I get a scratch on it. Id rather buy 2-3 shotguns...

MillerClemsonHD

It's your choice as the owner if you teach sit stay or not. Me personally I will not as I have seen dogs sit on point. Some where bc of pressure, some were soft dogs, and some were hard headed. Rather then put the ground work there for an issue like this to pop up I'm not going to teach my dog to si...

MillerClemsonHD

If he will let you go shoot it a few times at some clays, and see how you like it. The way a gun fits you makes a bigger difference than anything else. If the nicest gun in the world doesn't fit you right, you still won't be able to shoot it worth a darn. Then you can decide if you want to carry tha...

MillerClemsonHD

I purchased one of the 20ga O/U and have no complaints. Only used it a few times as its too dang hot to want to go shoot right now. It does feel great, swings great, and shoots where you aim it. Feel I got my moneies worth thats for sure. Don't think you will be disappointed with it especially if ge...

MillerClemsonHD

I don't know where you are as it isn't in your profile, but there are tons of pros that head to many different places out west. I would say you need to talk to one individually to discuss an opportunity to go out there. Just making a post on this board won't do much good. Look at the post below ther...

MillerClemsonHD

These hunts are usually preformed on a plantation block and probably even more common on the large blocks of timberland in that area of the state. These are very very large tracts of land and not being done on 100 acres between 2 farms. The place I hunted it cost $5 for a missed shot which for a lot...

MillerClemsonHD

Sorry for the confusion Pam, just trying to keep you on your toes. You are correct drive hunts are only allowed in the lower state. I have been down to Kingstree to go on one with some guys from work. I don't think it matters if they did drive hunts every weekend across the state it would still be h...

MillerClemsonHD

A drive hunt is much more organized than a bunch of people just going out and a field and turning dogs loose. I have only been a few times, not my favorite hunting but is exciting. The clubs that do it here have leases on a few 1000 acres and hunt in blocks. They will put out the "standers" out on t...

MillerClemsonHD

Our girl is 23" and 57lbs

Pictures is about 6mos old but she is pretty much the same size now.

MillerClemsonHD

send a PM to Rizz1 they have a couple at their plantation and have pictures of them. I know there have been some pictures of them posted over on vdogs.

MillerClemsonHD

I would say go to a local club or hunt test or trial and watch pointing dogs work. Would also suggest trying to find a flushing dog to watch work. That is the best way to figure out what you like. Then if you pick flushing or pointing dog then start looking at the different breeds to determine what ...

MillerClemsonHD

Welcome. What part of GA are you from? Quite a few members on here from GA.

MillerClemsonHD

From reading over this post a few times I think we are misunderstanding when you say you want a tougher and more daring dog. I take it to mean you are wanting a more bold and confident dog but I could be wrong. I would say that will come with time. The more comfortable the dog is with you and what i...

MillerClemsonHD

Haven't had any problems with mine and I am really happy with it. If you are looking to buy a gun to shoot at the gun club every weekend this probably isn't the gun for you. If you want a gun to shoot every weekend at the range you are obviously going to have to spend some more money. If you are buy...

MillerClemsonHD

Sorry to hear that Scott.

MillerClemsonHD

Thanks goes to you Bruce. These pups are everything we could have wanted. Your help with training and advice is what made them progress like they have. You had the info right on the trial it was an AF puppy stake that we ran with the UBH group here in SC. We are looking forward to the trip to SD thi...

MillerClemsonHD

no problems with mine. Agree the range is somewhat lacking, and you have to be careful with the antenna so as to not pull them out.

Please keep us updated on anything that comes up with changes that could increase the range.

MillerClemsonHD

Welcome Ernie. We met this year at Echo's plantation for the trial Ross hosted. We had the little solid liver shorthair pup that we ran. Hope to try to make another trial or two this year now that we will be able to be competitive. It was worth it for the learning experience though. Hope to see you ...
