Like i said in another post, shoot what you feel most comfortable with, my Grandfather would tell us stories about shooting pheasant on horseback along the railroad tracks with a 16 ga. he wasn't using Golden Pheasant. I have tried PS because we ran out of GP in South Dakota, not that bad but...

Go for it Hobie, just a outstanding product! We just ordered two more cases of 20 ga. #5s GP, they will be waiting for us when we get out there. Good luck this year guys....... Andy...................................

Thanks mate, I use to shoot grouse, but those sharptails taste like poop. Huns are a different story though, love em. But we are just nutz about the ring neck boys, i really look forward to this trip every year. Andy............................

Totally agree, overall about 18% state wide. Even higher in other places. Andy..................................

Best place in the world to hunt the rooster!! Our group has been going for 18 years and i have been doing it for 13. We hunt in the @#%$, there is always birds and we always limit, sometimes we have to hunt til 5:00 but thats very rare. There is always 10-12 in our group all the time. I...

Hello, My Cousin and one of our really good buddies are out of Oakland Md, their Dogs have great blood lines and they really spend a great deal of time with them. I know that our friend would never sell a pup to anybody that he felt wasn't going to a good hunting home. Our...

I will pass this on the rest of the gang, also we will speak with the farmers and ask them their advice just where to stay away from. Normally we just dont have any worries but one can never tell. Thank you for your response. Andy................................

Thanks for getting back to me, oh and thank your buddy for me. I know that you have to rush them to the Vet, but that initial shot will really help your dog out. We also stay clear of the dog towns and many of the plumb thickets, as they do hold many bids they could also hold snakes that we...

Sorry that i have to respond to this in a negative fashion but we have been breeding German Shorthaired Pointers since 1980. I want to thank you for reaching out to me but as i stated we do not go out opening week, one of the reasons is because its a dog and pony show, (no pun intended) and for...

Anybody??? Has anybody ever used a snake repellent on their dogs, it will be our first time?? Thank You. Andy..............................

I have spoken with five different farmers and they all said that there will be plenty of birds, no problem. We have doing this for a lot of years, and the farmers are normally honest with use letting us know if its going to be good or bad. But there will be no corn of course, and not super...

Yes you never see a Boss, H&H, Purdy, are anything of that nature at one of these?? Andy.........................................

Yes when you get right down to it you are correct, i have had better luck with my OU and that is the reason. Andy.......................

We have been hunting in SD for 13 years now, never had a problem with snake bites, just those nasty hidden pieces of rusty barbed wire that the dogs rip their skin open on, i guess we have been lucky. Some things have changed a little over the years, it seem to be getting hotter, and...

You have a little bit of everything mate, i wish that i still had my 1958 Sweet 16, it was a real gem!! But i really just use a 20, i dont do much dove hunting anymore and boy i REALLY miss my quail hunting!!! Thanks for reaching out my friend, i live full time in Lake Mary Florida with my...
