    Jeep Talk

    My 78 CJ 7. AMC 304 with throttle body fuel injection, stock 3 speed and upgraded Dana 44s. Originally belonged to my dad, who drove it primarily to take his dog to town for an occasional frozen yogurt.

    Choke questions

    Tom Roster has studied load and choke lethality for decades and is the guy behind the lethality tables you can find on several DNR websites. Recently he has published articles on TSS and concludes it patterns very tight, regardless of choke. He says on pure TSS loads choke is irrelevant. With...

    Calgary Airport and Firearms

    I cleared Canadian customs in Calgary with a shotgun two years ago and it was relatively easy. At that time, you picked up the firearm at baggage upon landing at Calgary then hand-carried it to the customs clearance area. Have your declaration form with you. The officer will have you open the...

    Flying with your dog

    US has new rules for bringing US dogs back from Canada. Last I looked things were still in flux, but they were talking about microchipped dogs with proof of rabies vaccine. Not tough to do, but bummer if you are not aware.

    Dog vest recommendation

    In my experience, fit is the most important element of a dog vest, and it’s hard to determine without buying and trying. A vest that rubs the wrong spots is no bueno, and each manufacturer seems to have a different idea of a dog’s build. The Momarsh vest tries to solve that with its velcro...

    Fly fishing bobbers that stay put?

    Jaydacators work well. Super light and pegged in place with a toothpick.

    Fly Tying/Fishing Thread

    I suppose with so many different fly line designs available these days it is hard to generalize (and not worth arguing about), but for what it is worth, this is from the Orvis website: Most DT lines are used by fisherman who concentrate on dry flies. WF lines are used by anglers who want one...

    Fly Tying/Fishing Thread

    The first 30 feet or so of the DT and WF will have a pretty similar profile and will cast similarly at moderate distance. If you can cast well enough to shoot line, the WF will make that easier as the thinner line behind the head will present less resistance running through the guides. DT lines...

    Broken drill bit removal in rifle stock

    Try a leather punch slightly larger that the diameter of the bit. Give it a solid whack and that may displace enough material from around the bit to allow you to grip it with pliers.

    Hip waders

    Last pair I had were Lacrosse and they were excellent.

    WIREHAIRED POINTING GRIFFON OR GERMAN WIREHAIRED POINTER? True Versatility

    In my experience it comes down to the breeding more than the breed. Find a line that consistently throws pups with the attributes you like and go with that. There are GSPs that work at 50 yards and others at 500. Breed generalizations are of limited help in predicting performance.

    Grand Canyon & Sedona Family Trip

    Grand Canyon railroad from Williams to the South Rim is something kids should like. The hike up the West Fork of Oak Creek near Sedona is stunning, but very crowded on weekends. There are a lot of cool petroglyph sites around Sedona.

    A400 choke

    Mine varies greatly depending on loads. Muller decoy choke patterns about 60% at 40 yards with the non-tox loads i use for ducks. Patterning is the only way to know for sure.

    THC gummies for dogs

    Dogs don’t metabolize THC the same way humans do and, as I understand it, it is considered a toxin. I’ve used Ellevet brand CBD oil in arthritic dogs with good success, but would not use a THC product.

    Browning Superposed Lightning insight

    I have a Lightening 20 made in 64 that is a great gun. One thing to watch out for is the “salt wood” period, when Browning salt cured stocks, which had a tendency to corrode surrounding steel. Get the exact year of manufacture and compare that with the availability literature on the salt wood...

    Best Dog Crate for Truck Bed?

    Gunners are the Rolls Royce of dog kennels. The doors triple lock, they are double walled and they have very stout tie down points. Only downsides are weight (if you are moving it in and out of the bed often) and cost. It you don’t have a Rolls budget, Ruff Land makes a really nice kennel.

    Tawney leaving BHA

    From a member’s outside perspective, Land has always struck me as a better pioneer than a settler. Given the growth and maturity of the organization, this change may be the right thing. He sure can leave feeling great about what he has accomplished.
