Carried a Franchi SL 20GA this season. It's operation has been fine and a pleasure to carry in the field. I consider it a very good gun for the money. Since in Illinois anymore we carry the gun in the field more than shoot it Weight was important. Made this season very enjoyable for an old...

I have a real problem with the position that Pheasants Forever takes on the releasing of breeder birds!!!!!! Nothing in this world stays the same. The age old theories preached by the establishment has just allowed states such as Illinois to justify doing absolutely nothing at all to help the...

Got a question about Wisconsin Phes.? We spent 5 years in Madison and traveled the lower third of the state from the Mississippi to the big lake. I cannot understand how a state with such rolling terrain, varied crops, hay fields, pasture land, swamps, sloughs and every type of field...

Hey Shadow This post is getting a fair amount of attention on this and one other forum. I guess there are more run aways being weighted down with the equipment you mentioned than we know of. It might be smarter to select dogs bred to work at medium and close range. Could save a lot of $ on...
