Looking for a new lightweight SxS. I've got plenty of shotguns in 12 and 20, just looking for something lighter that won't damage too much meat. I don't know your level of knowledge in the area so forgive me if you already know this. But a light 12 gauge load will do less damage than a heavy 20 gau...

Never watched one run inside a hole, we have lost a couple that the dogs tracked to and alerted at badger holes.

Turns out they managed to get a photo of one of the wolves.

Also, I have a hard time believing a wolf, an animal that can run down a deer, elk, or bison, missed a stationary man. World's most uncoordinated wolf I guess. There are better things to do than sit at a computer trying to find any little thing that might say someone else's post is wrong. Just not ...

No. I'm sick of the crazies who supposedly represent me, the NRA is just one example. Given your perspectives on Second Amendment issues, I doubt you have to worry about the NRA representing you, but Bernie Sanders might be doing a pretty good job of it. Its not looking good, the two Republicans an...

First it was chocolate . Then silver. Just heard of "Platinum" the other day (apparently super white?). Now today someone on a FB group asked about good "charcoal" Lab breeders. ...Charcoal???

I'm quite sure that you are aware of a non-tox option from RST in several gauges...I reckon those cartouches would be a feel-good solution, if one imagines a need for such shot.

Never could figure out why one needs special pants to go hunting. Everybody I know wears Jeans. I have been going more toward Carrhart Bibs as my belly gets a bit bigger.

When my lab was near the end of his life, my wife and I had a discussion and made the decision to go without a dog for a while, nothing to tie us down and we could go on extended vacations without any worries. I made it a month and a half.

Show judges are paid professionals, the Brittany club requires that the judges must attend a seminar that contains a Power Point emphasizing the field ability.

In my mind deflating the ball is like corking your bat. Yes you need talent to use it, but it's still an advantage outside of the rules. But Gundogguy if you're a Cubs fan then you have my sympathy!

Almost every Lab Ad talks about their "Championship bloodline" pups, and buried far enough back in the pedigree you will probably find one. If it matters to you, request a pedigree and see what is really there. And remember you are looking for Field Champions, you don't want to see Show Champions in...

If it is in average condition, 15-25 years old with fixed chokes, they are going for around $300-$375 in the gun shops around here, I believe.

Turning a mark into a blind is counterproductive.

I don't think it an advantage on grouse or woodcock, but I feel it is a huge advantage on pheasant. I believe more birds are recovered the quicker the dog is on them. I agree with this.
