I hunted with my previous lab for 12 years, right alongside my britt, loved every minute of it. Hunted him on dove, waterfowl, prairie chicken, phez,quail, hung. partridge, sharptail, and he retrieved a fall turkey for me, theres nothing they cant do. No matter what we were hunting he was as good as...

Ballistic Products is where I buy my steel reloading items from, the Helarco steel shot wads they sell are less expensive than most others and I have had great luck with them. When hunting WMA areas in Montana you have to shoot steel, I reload 7/8 oz #4 at 1690 fps in a 2 3/4" Fiocchi hull, plenty g...

I bought some of the ikam glasses to try out. They shoot pretty good video, tried them while goose hunting last year, unfortunately I did not charge the batteries all the way before we hunted. Had what I thought was gonna be real good footage of birds working in close, and I was really on top of my ...

A friend of mines lab has a murmer, was found about 4 years ago. She still hunts with us, but he has to be smart in the way he uses her. She still gets her retrieves while chasing waterfowl, but no back to back tough retrieves and her days of hitting a giant CRP field are done, but we still find her...

I am not a big fan of the FC wad used in those shells. Clean your barrel real good and shoot them again, a dirty barrel seems to affect those wads more than a normal wad. If not try an extended choke tube(Carlsons,Trulock,Briley) with a longer forcing cone, will probably help out.

jarbo03

No, wouldn't have it, never had a problem with lab and britt.

Seems like a valid question to me. All I have seen is one answer and the rest are somebody being a *********. Sorry Jarbo03 BUT If you do go back through the OP's posts since he has come to this board you will see why so many people are soured on him. as many of his posts are to bait people.....He ...

I live in NE Kansas, so thats a pretty good drive, thanks though.

Does anyone know where I can get some pigeons in eastern Kansas?

The day I picked up the retrieving dummy and my lab did not get up, I knew it was time. His body had been going for a while and I knew it was getting close, but he still looked happy and had that gleam in his eye. When he didn't want his dummy my heart sunk, I sat down on the floor next to him for 4...

1999 ISUZU Trooper, 245,000 miles, replaced the engine due to a freak occurence, nothing else has been touched except for normal maintenance. Drives great, 16 mpg, will get me places most vehicles won't with plenty of room for dogs, people and gear.

I hunted a lab and britt together for many years, they both went about their business as usual never competing for birds, adding a lab to the mix did nothing to hinder the pointing dogs, as long as it is well trained, a well trained flusher is an asset to any hunting group.

jarbo03

Watching a good dog work a wild phez that wants to run does it for me, stumbling oupon some quail is an added bonus. Have really enjoyed my couple trips chasing hungarian partridge in Montana also, thats a fun bird. I really enjoy prairie chicken also, from hunting them in september like phez, to th...

I basically freefeed my 45# male Llewellin Setter. He has a pen connected to the front of a small building, so the extra feed left out does not get wet. I feed about every three days. He eats what he needs, and does not gorge at all. Try that with your stubtails! :roll: :D Could have done that with...

Dealt with this last week with my WPG pup, diarrhea followed with him. Pepto works, along with some hamburger and rice for a few days, he was good as new.

jarbo03

WOW! He looks very similar to my WPG pup, face markings are almost the same. Congrats on the new dog!

I prefer males, no rhyme or reason, just my personal preference, it is more about the individual dog.

I use my A-5 Sweet 16 duck hunting, fun to shoot. I had the choke opened to a LM and shoot nothing bigger than 4 shot, the bigger the shot the more likely a problem is to occur. If you reload I also use mylar wraps in the shotcup and load no more than 7/8 oz of shot.

I have had 3 britts and all of them were the most chilled and calm dogs I have ever hunted with, my current britt is the best dog I have been around when it comes to chillin in a duck blind. All of them were dogs that my family bred and were from the same bloodlines.

jarbo03

While waterfowl hunting my lab and britt were both broke. When upland hunting they would not take after a bird when flushed, would move in that direction but wait for bird to be hit before going into retrieve mode.

Bought my Beretta from budsgunshop.com, went easy, others have said how to do it.

A friend of mines son was at the hunt, shot his first bird. He said he was definitely in for opening weekend next year. Thanks for putting on hunts like this for kids.

I have used a crate for training and have had several pups who never had an accident in the house. The secret is to crate the puppy for rest period or napping. When you let it out pick it up and take it out doors. After doing its job outside bring it back in an play with the pup as long as you like...

I assume you are referring to Britts I was refering to all breeds. If you want to see one being used as a versatile you about have to go to somewhere they are doing testing. But in the real world can't remember when I last saw one. Ezzy I live in the real world and see versatile dogs everyday :roll...

Birddogz, You really know how to stir these FT boys up, don't care how much you hurt their feeling either, but I got to tell ya the competition at Ames has nothing to due with actual hunting, although I agree IMO a dog who wins any kind of competition should also find the most birds. Got to remembe...

I was at Rogers last weekend to pick up some decoys, been thinking about a 20 gauge so I looked at ammo. They had Fiocchi 2 3/4", Kent 3", Federal Premium, and Fed Black Cloud in stock currently. Best deals are by the case with free shipping.

jarbo03

MONTR, I would also check out http://store.rogerssportinggoods.com , they can have good deals and most shells have free shipping when bought by the case. Performance wise the Fiocchi, Kent, and Federal are all quality shells. The Kents are the fastest, which I like, but the hulls are not waterproof,...

I called my vet yesterday and she told me 5-6 months. Depends on the kind of terrain you hunt in if they need to be removed. Boots are required where I hunt, and I also hunt a lot of wheat stubble fields, so I have no choice. If your dog does any waterfowl hunting, a muddy weedy marsh is also a bad ...

Have hunted with brits and one lab in my life, couldn't ask for any more out of them. Tuesday I brought home my WPG pup, do as much waterfowl as upland hunting, cause I don't have to travel to do so. Really wanted to consolidate to one dog, hope all works out, he has a lot to live up to after my bri...

On any smaller ducks #4 shot would be fine, and any bigger ducks over decoys they would be fine also. I would go with the 7/8 oz load, the pellet count for steel is much higher than that of lead with same shot size and payload. I reload 7/8 oz of #4s for all of my duck shooting, these are at 1700+ f...

Have never shot one, but have read and heard a lot of good things about the 930. The other Mossbergs i have hunted with or around have been good guns.

Around 12" of snow here in eastern KS, windy and 5 deg. Had to clear a path to the yard for the old britt to go potty, he didn' like his weiner dragging on the snow, poor guy.

Should be interesting around here. Be bringing home a pup to a house with a britt that will be 15 in 2 weeks, also have a 8 year old rottweiler. Wanted to make sure i covered all the age groups. With the old britt it will be like taking care of two pups, and the rott is not the sharpest tack in the ...

Two bite size pieces wrapped in bacon, grilled medium rare. Usually seasoned with Tony Chachere's. Haven't met anyone yet that doesn't think it's great like that. That is another of my favorite ways to cook it. When cooked properly on the grill, goose is maybe my favorite wild game. Don't overcook ...

You cant run them in Navhda as Mr. Quindt said, remember Navhda have some great retrieving dogs, and the labs point can't compare to the pointers in intensity IMHO.

My britt was also in the 50-55 lb range, and a great waterfowl dog. He was the best dog I have hunted with when it came to sitting in the blind, he would stay motionless and not take his eyes off the sky, but he also upland hunted slow and methodical. Minus the weather limits he was a great overall...
