I didn't have as much as I thought, 120+ rounds is what was in the bin. How does $15 and a small Snickers Blizzard for them all sound for a price? I think I remember seeing a Dairy Queen along the highway. I could be down there as early as Monday if that is convenient for you. Otherwise, shoot me a ...

How much are you looking for? I have a bit of once fired laying around I could spare. Its been fired in Remington Model 8 and 61 autoloaders so may be a little more dinged up than if fired in a lever gun. I am not sure how much as I am at work and have not looked into that bin in a while. I thin it ...

I am not a retriever owner at the present, an English Springer Spaniel si the closest I come to that at the moment. I run English Setters and German Wirehairs for the vast majority of my small game hunting. I do little waterfowling these days a week in Manitoba and a couple days early season goose h...

This just isn't true. It's your opinion, I get that. Noone in the cover dog world focuses on retrieving, so it's not just Steve your parting ways with...it' most of the setter world ;) I should hope the cover dog circuit does not shoot birds, most of their trials are far outside the hunting seasons...

One option is to join the Southern Minnesota Pointer club. They are great group of guys and hold training at MN Horse and Hunt one night a week. They are a wealth of info. If you have never trained a pointer get a mentor or better yet hire a trainer. A poorly trained pointer is a disaster in the fi...

I've owned and used spaniels, retrievers, and pointers over the years, I have a pretty good idea of their strengths and weaknesses. Pointing dogs are my preference today as I do mostly upland hunting and what waterfowling I do is easily handled by my setters and wirehairs. I mostly train with NAVHDA...

I have no idea why the so called "versatile breed" training would not work, it works very well for the half dozen setters as well as the Pointer I have owned. The idea of a bird dog NOT retrieving is totally foreign to me, it is the most important reason for owning a bird dog. As so much o...

Whatever you do, do not take it to the range as a starter. This is one of the very worst ways of introducing a dog to gunfire. Gunshyness is created by the handler more often than not. It is something that is not easily cured if ever. My suggestion is to join the North American Versatile Hunting Dog...

Just be sure your friend knows the danger of Mosinitis. It starts with just one. I've now lost count of how many I have. Hell, I just came home with another one last night. :lol: Fixing to fill another coffee table? You know that coffe table holds 20 right? I have a little ways to go to fill it. No...

Go to the local hardware store and by a Nylon or Durlon bolt of the proper diameter, I don't remember what it is off hand. Buy it long enough you can cut off the head and the threads leaving the solid portion spanning across the receiver. I think I picked mine up for about $2 at the small shop in to...

Figure the same a a waitress. I've been on both sides of the question and start my base at 15% the guided cost as a start. If the guide busts their butt, works hard, gives tips, helps you learn the hows and whys of what you are doing, has a good camp or set up, etc. then I'll tip more. If he is lack...

5:30 is good too, I'll try to get there sometime before then and save a table or two for those interested. I should be wearing a yellow short sleeved shirt and a olive green baseball cap. If no one is there looking like that, save a seat for me as I either got tied up at work or am buying a gun on t...

Parkside at 5:00 should work for me.

Hamburg was not a very big town when I used to hang out in the area 20 some years ago and I don't think there is much more today. The Parkside Bar is the only place I remember eating at and I can't remember the meal. I think one would have better luck at Hoppers in Waconia. It has pretty good burger...
