Old Dublin: Perils of the printed word, sir. Mine was a deliberate attempt at juvenile display in the face of sober, reasonable, mature discourse. A mild tease, if you will, acknowledging the sometimes juvenile exchanges contained herein -- often by myself. I will also take the Setter's example...

MNMT: Question for you: I cut open a black walnut my son had found this week explaining there was a familiar kind of nut inside this green sphere. INstead I found some godawful snot in the middle instead of a nut. What gives? Had any experience with these? Was it a bad nut or just too early...

Old Dublin: Well, well, just Nyah! My dog's better than yer dog! So there! Wait, I'm channeling my four-year-old *and it feels pretty good*! We're here for the fun and I apologize to anybody who takes such prattling seriously. (Also, Labradors rule!) :p Did anyone notice I did the Rock and...

Getting a little heated, gentlemen. There is no reason an honest question should elicit these kind of remarks. I think we just saw some tremendous examples of bragging and ribbing on the bird dog forum. Don't get your dander up. This is an honest question asked by a fellow member. Some years...

I don't think Only A Pointer meant to come off the way his post read. I still love my Remington 1100, which I hunted with for 20-odd years. I bring it on trips as my backup in the event my new beloved Benelli should somehow fail me.:eek: I understand Pointer's point (forgive the expression)...

The K has it. Well done, fellas. I am ver impressed as a guy who just started enjoying open-air stadiums again. This Twins fan tips his cap to you on this night. Now, at least we can all agre we hope the AL does the job! Oh, wait. WTF:mad:

I'm already packed. Can I bring my flabradors? See it doesn't take much for me to change allegiances, just the promise of some good hunting! Can I hunt your stuff while you are out winning blue ribbons? Actually, I would love to hunt with any or all the guys on this thread. They all seem to be...

MNMT you've got a heart and a head for all sorts of stuff. Here I was thinking you were all ``Suck it up and fight through it'' kinda guy. I ever cross paths with you, I will buy all the beers -- or root beers or whatever. That goes for a bunch of the guys on this forum. (Even the ones with...

Sorry for off topic, but I would too.:D

Feed a quality food with good ratios of protein and don't worry about it. Some dogs -- sadly, not my beloved labradors -- will take what they want and leave food that they don't feel they need. Dogs aren't like people, they usually have sense enough to take what they need and leave what they...

My goodness, Driggs, that is a handsome beast. I had the pups out to a farm with some my relatives from out of town last fall and could not help thinking of those pen-raised birds and what they were in for against two labs who cut their teeth on scratching out wild birds in the over-hunted...

Try driving around Woodbury, Minn., where my folks live. Every family there has a cookie-cutter yellow lab that looks like a barrel and lives behind the most unnecessary invisible fence ever installed. My uncle, on the other hand, had a springer (best breeding, top schools, no expense spared)...

I predict I will see as many shootable birds this year as I have the last few years. Note I said see shootable birds, not bag them, that is my problem to sort out. We may be on the bottom of a cycle but that happens. At least there is a promise of a better stage coming. I worry more about...

I married into a family that was at the time racing sled dogs. Try and bring a fat lab to that family event. :rolleyes: I have learned/heard/been schooled on more canine nutrition than most sane people should ever have to be exposed to. That said, when I first started visiting the in-laws...

That dude actually frightened me. Kept me from posting. Daisy said she'd bite him in the face, but I think that would be inappropriate.:confused:
