good to hear WNC-i did inherit a belgium 12 which I started to use last year for pheasants and ducks which I really enjoy, which is why I want another one but in the 16 and lighter!
curious on your guys experience with the new sweet 16's? I was leaning towards a O/U but I love how light these are. My biggest concern is the reliability/cycling?
we just wrapped up our last training night last night. I'm not sure what to think of NAVHDA, overall it was positive. Our PP breeder required us to to take the NA test and since this was my first versatile dog, I joined the group this year. Quite a few guys with experience there that was helpful...
i was at our local sporting goods store the other day and there were a few boxes to choose from, i was actually hoping on stocking up on the 12guage but that was still sparse...
thanks @Ben Lamb I'll take a peak at the Guns Int'l every once in while.
Wanting to add a shotgun to the collection, I do not have a 16 gauge and I'm interested to adding one. Looking at various over/unders. It seems like the Franchi Instinct SL is the gold standard and about the top of my budget.
I was interested in the Stevens 555E as well if someone has put that...
I have an 11 year old lab and when we were starting to think about the recruit, we wanted something versatile like a lab but less shedding. We now have a 10 month old Pudelpointer, and yes, about 90% of people who ask think its a poodle mix, but like Firedad mentions, they actually were used to...
it went really well! got lucky on finding a good mall/snows roost; got permission right away. Snow goose migration was in full force too, tornados everywhere, but they knew to keep just high enough from us.
Pups were not in the blinds with us, but they helped find a few of the malls we couldnt...
any SD hunters out there?
We are heading out there for our 3 day NR hunt starting friday, DU migration reports are doom and gloom but who knows how accurate they are
Hi SD, i bought a boyds stock for my remington 783 -270 to spruce up a cheap rifle alittle bit. I've had it for atleast 5 years now and no signs of fading or wear (laminate) and I really like the finish on it. It was an easy swap.
I was curious on the accuracy as well because I was thinking of...
thanks guys for the suggestions and your 2 cents; I wont be doing anything illegal as I dont want to escalate it anymore, I have kids and dont need some moron knowing where I live.
I pulled the stand, made a nice string of mock scrapes for the guy's next hunt to get him all revved up for that...
Congrats on the puppy deposit!
We are 16 weeks in with our first versatile hunting dog; I needed to start the process with our current aging 11 year old lab.
I'm learning that my bowhunting time has taken a huge hit, but I love bird hunting too much to not have got another dog. I joined NAVDHA...
