I always hunt at least 2 dogs together. Some occasions and fields I will hunt 3 dogs, and have put as many as 4 on the ground at the same time (by myself) but 4 was a bit too much.. :lol: I do 90% of my hunting just me and my best friend.. He fields 2 dogs and I field 2. I always smile when I hear t...

My everyday shooter & favorite gun is my Benelli Legacy Y2K limited edition 1 of 250. Love it, love it, love it! I just purchased the new "Legacy 28" and have put 50 rounds through it at the skeet range and that is it.... Can't wait to bust some pheasants and quail with it this fall.

Thanks CK. If you don't see what you're looking for it doesn't mean by a longshot I don't have it available. I am WAY behind on updating the Supply site. I have been needing to update all the new Garmin, Sportdog, and TT products, but I have mama's kitchen & bathroom remodel taking presidence over m...

Peroxide is part of my kit. Not sure why you think no one has a Ekit. Most do. from my experience. Nowhere in my post did I mention an Emergency Kit, Or the even include the words "Emergency" or "Kit" in my post. Please read thoroughly before you post... its embarrasing. I did however, pitch the id...

Not trying to be crass, but why in hades is there so many dog owners that don't own a "Dog Owners Home Veterinary Handbook" and have it readilly accessible at all times??

An absolute necessity IMO.

My Lab "Sooner" answers to "Boom" more often than anything. Another used alias is "Boom-Sooney" "Cy" my pointer stud is either "Silas" or "Cy-dog" One of my Brood mama's "Jenny" is called "Jen" or "Jen-Jen the Engine" due to her normally suped up hyper state of mind. My other Brood female "Sam" gets...

Lost my birddog "Kacey" this morning. She was my first birddog. Kacey would have been 15 years old on the 15th of this month. She lived a wonderful and fullfilled life afield and at home. Lots of memories with that ol girl. As hard as it is to see them go, I am thankful she passed in her sleep and w...

We have had 3 or 4 days in a row of really good rain here but we also had some hail last night and 70 mile an hour straight winds. Looked like a hurricane outside. The hail and high winds only lasted about 20-30 minutes but the rain was heavy for awhile turning into a slow soaker overnight. I don't...

Hope it turns out to be a good year for you then! We might have to work at it this year.... Usually we have a couple fields where we show up, sit in the pickup and drink coffee while we watch the pheasants fly from the feed to the CRP and / or walk around in front of or behind the truck. :lol: When ...

I spend most of yesterday (and will be all weekend) swathing CRP patches to be baled for hay... Alot of people (landowners) are going into the ACS office to get permission to swath half their CRP, in this drought. People need hay BAD and there hardly is any. :( I swathed about 75 acres yesterday an...

97% to 2% is more than decesive. Never forget, when the thug policitians get your guns, freedom is gone. With 175 million gun owners in this country, hard to take over.

Rain! Finally We Have Rain!!!

It rained like a cow peeing on a flat rock this evening. Despite the threat of tornado's and damaging 90mph straight line winds, and all my kids at Vacation Bible School crying in the church basement after they took cover, it was a welcome sight!

Yeah, I don't plan on making enough money in selling products to regain my expenditures. I'd have to sell a bung load of product. It would be as you said - Follow-up and advertising. Selling some products and meeting people.

Can you say HUGE tax write off?

Yes. I have had 2 extensive back surgeries. They were both in my mid twenties and only a couple years apart. I have Rods, Plates, and screws along with all but one of my Lumbar vertebre fused solid, and part of my sacrum. It sucks, I hurt constantly everyday, all day long. There is never a point whe...

FWIW - I worked our NAVHDA chapter booth at Pheasant Fest last year in Omaha.

Luckilly I have a BIL that lives right near the Sprint Arena. I won't be paying for lodging!
I've never been, and I'm not going to buy anything, so I hope its full of alot of other good stuff than just shopping for dog supplies.

Is your question pertaining to the Registered Name? I'm not up on AKC reg's, but the American Field or FDSB registry you can name your dog whatever you choose up to 3 words -27 letters I believe.

Just by myself right now Jess but you are always welcome to come out. I need to get some info. from Dave on WIHA land and maybe even some private.

Molly- In my opinion I would get the new SportDOG SD-1225 SportHunter.. It is the near the same price as the TT Sport basic G3 (actually I sell it for $5 less than the TT Sport Basic) and the 1225 is FAR superior, IMO. I have sold a few of these 1225 units and everyone I have checked back with loves...
