Nothing is going to best the Chessie or the Lab for water work in extremely cold situation's where ice is hanging from the dogs eyelids, ears, mouth etc. This is what these breeds were made bred to do simply put. Now speed in the field is no comparison to my German Shorthair Pointers! The...

Congrates on a mighty fine looking bear! Now that is going to make one heck of a rug on the wall.:cool:

There are only a handful of folks who can find and trap wolves! It is not as easy as putting on your hunting boots and walking in the woods. I personally believe that state wide permits should be offered to hunters to swrink this wolf population period. The putting of a bandage (hiring a...

The trapping of wolves is not all you might think it is understand! They are very weary and scent/trap placement must be perfect. Trapping for me years ago was fun, never minded the getting up late or getting back late. Trapping beaver, fox and other critters was a challenge and fun to boot...

Now after last winter's kill on the cattle rancher's, it is about time that these wolf packs get trimmed down as far as possible. If you have say 15 wolfs in a given area then you need to take out at least 9 of them (leaving 2 breeding pair) which will still give those plenty to hunt next...

Gentlemen, I have read all these posts on this thread! Now I will give you my opinion of what this Lady needs to feel comfortable with in the woods or wild, when it comes to those wolf's. My wife (65 yrs young, 135-lbs) shoots a Glock .40 cal (sub-compact) which holds 11 rounds total. The...

Ummmmmmmm tested??? Well I can tell YOU that any dog or pup from my kennel will certainly be more dog in the field, than you could ever hope to hunt behind period. I don't field trial on horseback (don't ride a horse anymore) but several of my dogs have gone on to become champions in both...

Gentlemen this is a game of sport using a shotgun and I shoot all birds in the "air". I shoot turkeys in Missouri on the ground, not in the roost OK. My favorite pheasant gun is a 16 ga Belgium Browning with full choke. My favorite quail gun is a Remington 1100 in 20 ga. English stock, using...

I do have 4 young male pups! The litter was 8 puppies and all females were sold for $1,200 dollars. There bloodlines are NFC/FC 5 time national champion Heide Mighty City Slicker and NFC/FC Magnum's Touch Of Gold. It doesn't get any better than this for bloodlines. These pups are now 4.5 weeks...

Kyle I have a place in Arkansas, we have a lot of family down there. You send me a PM and I'll tell you were to go, pitch your tent etc. Not far from Steamboat Springs Ok.

I personally believe that your choice of 800 yds for the 30-05 is an overload task for the Old Soldier! The amount of energy won't really be enough and the doping out for that bullet at 800-yds is going to be one heck of a job to get done. You would be much better off with something like the...

Now I have some outstanding young German Shorthair Pointers, their bloodlines are Heide Mighty City Slicker cross with Magnums Touch Of Gold. Both those dogs were National Field Trial Champions. I am getting out of the business of breeding for puppies. Also have a few 1 year and 2 year old dogs...

You will only be successful if they are very hungry! Food is what dictates to weather a pigeon will do this or that etc. I raised pigeons and can tell you, they are not all alike either. I had racer's, homer's, Birmingham Rollers, Turkish Roller's, California White Race's too. Last year my...

My elk rifles (always have a back up at camp) are a model 70 Winchester in the .338/.300 Ultra mag, along with a model 70 Winchester in the 300-Ultra mag. The wife used to shoot a model 70 338 mag until Mr. C dealt her a heavy blow. I later made her a model 70 featherweight in a .338/08 that...

I too can tell you that P-Dog hunting is very addictive and a truck load of pure fun. I started off with a .222 "the triple deuce" a few years back (46) and then graduated to the 22-250 along with a 25-06 for those far out critters. Not as many hits but even a close miss still puts a smile on my...
