what would you sugguest is a good setup for chokes in a 20 ga over under to hunt grouse with i'm thinking the 2nd barrel should be a full, and does it matter which barrel you should fire first, shouldn't matter but maybe i'm missing something

ibbowhunting

i think the berrys are high bush cranberrys grouse love um

I guess I could of save my money an bought 5 gals of gas. if you ...

I say run her this season and see if she decides to hold her birds and make you a part of the team. If she lets you eventually get there, I'd shoot her a few birds, even if she helps flush. Then get her broke before next season. If she never makes you part of the team, I'd probably look for another...

ibbowhunting

i have never shot a bird for the pup, and she has never caught a bird. she is not steady enough yet

ibbowhunting

there looks to be a nice yildiz 20ga over and under on gun broker right now just sent the payment out for mine or i would bought that one, just thought id post this to help the people not in acadamy sport area to find a yildiz if they want one

ibbowhunting

I'd like to clear one thing up she is not moving in on the birds because of me she is busting in on the birds just to chase in my op I'm on board with letting her chase after the flush but would like to get her to the point of steady to the flush before I start shooting birds

ibbowhunting

I think I could easily get her on 5-10 grouse a week depending on weather only problem I have is truely seeing her work it's very thick and a check cord is very tough in woods this thick IMO check cording her would only work during training in the fields

ibbowhunting

don would you run her on a check cord at this point or let her run she cover ground very quickly

ibbowhunting

ok sikka my britt is now alittle over ten months old she covers ground well, and finds birds, she points pigeons in a trap for less then a minute then busts into flush i've never been able to get around in front of her before she trys to flush. grouse season here started last saturday so sunday we r...

ibbowhunting

I hunt Minnesota however the early season is just that. lots of cover. I have never done real well opening weekend, I didn't even have a flush this weekend. I didn't hunt real hard though. Wait two weeks and it will only get better as the leaves come down, always does. They are also saying the bird...

the best bows built in the past few years are shooting alot faster than even bows built 10 years ago,which makes them flater shooting which in turn make it easyer to increase your yardage an arrow that used to drop 12'' between 20 and 40 yards may only drop a couple inches shot out of current high e...

as i drove home from work today i was thinking i hope you find your dog, great news

ibbowhunting

from what i read yildiz is the best bang for your buck but good luck getting a new one to minnesota acadamy sports is the sole importer in the us and they no longer will do a ffl out of state transfer from what they told me they stated (due to tax reasons) they no longer will ship a gun out of state...

ibbowhunting

This will not work for everyone, but, it's my method. The rule is - don't shoot over a dog until it is pointing the pigeon in a pop-box, and you can walk up and put a food on it. To build a dog to this point, use the natural pointing ability of the dog coupled with perfect timing of release of the ...

ibbowhunting

i dont know why, but other the real bones or pig ears mine prefers a kong

ibbowhunting

from what i hear and read the yildiz is a good bang for your buck, but only avaliable through acadamy sports which only covers the southern states i trying to get one shipped to minnesota acadamy claims for tax reasons they will no longer do a ffl transfer :( i found a couple well used ones online, ...

omg,dead birds then hot dogs for a n/a track. Go get yourself some young pheasants,find a field with moderate cover. let your pup watch you release a phez,and let him watch it run away. Release your pup,he will run to where he saw the phez go,and start looking for it. He will naturally start tracki...

ibbowhunting

her recall is good i was thinking that the check cord was not helping things, meaning she seems to hunt different when i'm bounce on the end of the cord. just had it i my mind that i don't want her to catch the bird but i don't think she will catch a hard flying pigeon out of a launcher, but i have ...
