Oil can gum up in very cold weather. If you clean the action with oil, blow it out with computer air (the little bottles of compressed air).

Sorry, I couldn't resist.... and I didn't do anymore browsing.

I don't know if there is a way to restrict a page, and only allow what you post. I just clicked on your video.
Cheers,

Nice video... not too shabby!

But I couldn't help but notice THIS on your photobucket page. DO TELL! Poor thing...

Don;t knock it until you've tried it!

Just got back from the store and wore a t-shirt. When I hunted Saturday it was 23 degrees!

Oh, yeah, I have had those! But of course back in Texas we used a half jalapeno slice. To me there is nothing better than mesquite grilled quail with bacon and jalapeno. I cooked the filling tonight for the pie - pheasant breast, celery, onion, potato, carrots, a little corn, in a thick broth. (I wo...

This may be a naive post, but many of you know I am training my first bird dog. I took my dog and my sons on a preserve hunt this morning. We started into the field and Ginger was going down a central, mowed path into the start of a field of some cover. She was going straight down the path and got a...

There are two - maybe three - brands under $1,000 that I would own: 1) Verona 2) Lanber 3) Franchi Diamond I have several Lanber o/u's - they are a very popular gun in the UK and australia, and they are made in Spain. They retail for over $1,000 there, but sell excess inventory in batches in the US ...

Yeah, I saw no reason to lock it. I thought it was a very interesting thread.

Oh this is terrible! Very very sorry to hear about this.

When you can, you should let Stonesthrow know about it, just so they know.

It's weird how the bars on the tail really thicken out towards the end as opposed to thinning out. Be sure to hang onto those.

Saw this and had to share: LONDON (Reuters) - Dogs can sniff out unfair situations and show a simple emotion similar to envy or jealousy, Austrian researchers reported Monday. Dogs sulked and refused to "shake" paws if other dogs got treats for tricks and they did not, said Friederike Range, an anim...

I keep my transmitter clipped on my vest or coat and can press easily. I don't use the e-collar much when hunting, mostly only when training, when I am not carrying my gun anyway. It seems like a neat gadget. However, people will be much more interested in the quality of the transmitter and its rang...

We had a beagle when our kids were born. This was never a problem. When we got home with each of them, Old Fat Nellie would give them a big sniff, then generally stay away from them.

I have a "dog bag" with e-collar in it, gloves, whistle, chaps rolled up, etc. When she sees me get that bag or when she sees me lacing up my boots she starts dancing around and gets all excited. By the time I open the back of the SUV to start loading up she will hop right in.

I picked mine up at 7 weeks and 2 days. No issues at all.

For your first and only gun a 12 gauge is a good choice because you can hunt anything with wings with it and adjust your load accordingly. You have the size for bigger birds like Ducks and Geese and even turkeys, but you can load down for small animals like dove and quail. I recommend a 28" barrel ...

I tried one of these on last month. I think there are two sizes... I think I would have needed the larger one. I felt the belt was a little too narrow and the vest was too wide across my gut (6' 225lbs). Otherwise I liked it a lot. EDIT: I just looked in their catalogue. I had tried on the game bag ...

You'll be fine with a 20. You'll only be giving up something duck hunting, turkey hunting, wild-flushing pheasants, etc. Big birds, long range. This is why I suggest the 12. I am thinking, suppose a new shotgunner shoots a few rounds of trap, and decides to buy his first shotgun, and can really onl...

When I tell my friends what I am getting they seem suprised and tell me to get a 12g. Your friends know you better than us. I would listen to them and ask them why. I wouldn't get hung up on "hunting over dogs" being the determining factor in why people choose 12 over 20. Way more important than th...

gar-dog

Frankly, if this is your only shotgun I would get a 12. A twelve is much more versatile - better suited for clays, waterfowl, home defense etc. For strictly upland, a 20 is probably fine. Anyway, you can do anything with a 20 that you can do with a 12, just in some cases be slightly handicapped. For...

Thanks Matt and others.

Buford... yep that's a skid plate. It's a little embarrassing how geared up my dog is, but she couldn't care less. None of it bothers her.... she associates it all with hunting and being in the field and is eager to stand for me to get her geared up.

Great looking pup! Crate training is critical at this stage. The puppy should spend a lot of time in its crate and only be loose when directly supervised. When taking her from the crate, always go straight outside to potty and give praise. Every time you puut the pup in the crate, say "crate" or "ke...

You should also post in the Buy-Sell-Trade section of this site.
Good luck with the move.

If heavily thorned, specifically, you might go with the double tin chaps. If just heavy cover in general, I would think the single tin is fine. Even the single tin is pretty dang tough.

gar-dog

for the most part throw all the generalities you hear about each breed out the window. Excepting of course that brittanys are immensely more attractive... My pup is out of field trial stock and at the club we belong to she will range out pretty far at times. But when we are hunting in cover or wood...

I had to take my in-laws to the airport at 5:30 this morning, so I decided to sneak in a one-hour hunt before work. After dropping them off I headed straight to Clinton WMA and hit the fields at 7am after waiting 30 minutes in the gravel lot for sunrise. At 7:30am Ginger got birdy and after some sea...

How did you know what size chaps to get? I wear size 36 waist and 36 length. Waist size doesn't really matter - there is regular and long. With a 36" inseam you will want the long. They do make a husky size as well, which will be roomier in the thighs, but at 36x36 that probably doesn't apply to you.

Bad news: a local 50-year plus old gunshop, pistol range, and outdoor clothing and fishing store went out of business near my house.

Good News: I got a filson Upland oil cloth coat - retail $215 for $129 and a filson mackinaw cruiser wool coat retail $279.50 for $120 !!

Seven months old. Dog was doing what you wanted in familuar surroundings because it was sure of itself. The new area and new conditions blew it away. I don't like to see a dog that young in a position like that, personnel opinion. Takes a lot longer to establish control without an e-collar than wit...

Look, all is fair in love and war. You want her. Make it happen.

It certainly doesn't hurt to inquire about this. I am sure your neighbor has noticed the flirting. Maybe he will be a stand-up guy and realize that you two were meant to be together.

I found it - unfortunately it doesn't reset when you "start a new hunt" - so it had 104 miles - which includes NH and some driving between hunts up there. Thanks.
