    How much is a dog worth?

    Priceless Watching a well-trained dog working a field or the forest is an art form. It one of the greatest sight I've ever seen. It amazes me every time we go out. People think that upland hunting is just killing. If they could see a bird dog working a field they would develop a new...

    Semi vs. O/U

    I love my benelli. It's a 20g, 26” barrel. It weighs about 5 pounds give or take. That's not that much more than an o/u. Swings smooth, very little kick, about half the price of a Citori. The 12G could not weigh much more. Kills dead and you can carry it all day...

    creating and loading base map on GPS

    I don't know if this is the right place for this link, but here goes. I am looking at creating or adding maps to my GPS. I have a pair of Garmin's: Nuvi 1450T and Venture HC. I see that the Minnesota DNR provides a WMA base map. I would like to add Snowmobile trails, logging roads in the...

    Why was Bruce McLeland banned?

    I am new but, I think you should re-instate him. Censorship like this has killed many a good forum. Look at Pheasant Hunting forum, for example. It was once one of the busiest forums out there, now it is nothing. This forum cannot become "One Man's" instrument; If it does it will die out.
