I guided black bear for a few years and I never carried a pistol, black bear are not aggressive they look to avoid people. Carry the .40 if it makes you feel better, or bring a large bell

, don't waste your money on anything else.

I believe you have your wording wrong, guys try to "lionize" tame birds, when in reality that are simply a glorified clay pigeon. A wild bird is just simply a wild bird, you don't get to spin them in a sack, tie them to a string, or plant a pole by them.

A typical work day I get out 1-2 hours a day. Weekends and a couple week long hunting trips, will be the entire shooting hours (9am/12pm - sundown). A typical field is 1/2 mile long, so you work the field take a 10-15 minute break and do it again, lunch in the field and some drive time between field...

+1 on the Dogtras. I have a pair of Dogtras that are over 15 years old and still going strong. I had to make a trip to radio shack to swap out batteries about five or six years ago but that has been it. I think the battery in one is getting weak...seems not to be holding a charge too well, so I'll ...

Hmm. Old thread. But I actually read through the whole thing since I was researching what upland hunters do when faced with snares and traps in the field. I'm new to hunting (this season will be my first) and while I plan to do all of my hunting on private land where the owners don’t trap, I am sti...

To save you some embarrassment on your thesis, I will note that your photo is a hoax. Im curious if you are too dense to read the story of the REAL Photo?

When I cleared 4 acres I had use of a small dozier, if that wouldn't have been available I would have did the same thing Karen did, however I would've went orange. Those compact tractors sure do have a way of holding their value.

If this is a several year project it works best to cut the stumps about 4-5 feet tall, wait about 4 years (giving the roots a chance to rot) and you can tip them over taking the stump out at the same time. The taller the stump the better the leverage.

I second this, fits me great, fit and finish is equivalent to some much higher priced guns, made in the USA. The down side, they are on the heavy side and they were discontinued about a 2 years ago.

Just for your information the Flyway is the exact same collar as the Pro 200 (except one has silver buckle), the Pro 200 general costs $20-30 more.

Why not a single barrel? For some reason I'm kinda thinking about picking up a Savage 220 hammerless single shot.

I think this is ridiculous, luckily it doesn't matter much to me as I'm a canuck lol. Letting the retrievers run in spaniel tests defeats the purpose I think. Will they be held to the same standard?

As some one that hunts with both dog and hawk and keeps pigeons, i'm saddened by some of the reply and welcome some of the others.

Noone here can answer that without a widespread genetic study. I doubt you would get an honest answer from most breeders either. However, if as Doc E says, only 10% of labs point that means you're excluding 90% of the gene pool to breed pointing labs. If you think that won't have a big effect on ge...
