Winnie really worked this bird this last weekend. He was trying to give her the slip for about 2-3 minutes. She got him up about 15 yards away and down her went. The happiness a dog has when they get to retrieve a bird to hand is simply amazing.

I am selling my 12ga browning BPS field model. I have a 28" bird barrel as well as a Hastings paradox rifled slug barrel with a redfield 2x7 scope on it. Gun is in good condition, always cleaned and oiled. Has normal wear and tear from being in the field. Really good, flexible setup for a...

@20super90 you are in the Mankato/new Ulm area correct? We should get together for a hunt sometime.

I also live in the mankato area and agree with @20super90. Public ground has been hit early and often this year.

I have always wanted to try a whole bird fried but never pursued it. worth it?

Soak in buttermilk for 10 or so hours, then pat dry, let dry in the fridge for 10 hours and roast it in the over until the breast meat is 165 degrees.

per the MN DNR commissioner deer hunting license sales are up 8% from this time last year.

this is the heavier model I believe. the SL is the lighter model. If this was an SL I would be all over it, I have the 20 gauge SL and love it.

My group of 4 got 6 birds Saturday morning in southern MN. Missed a few too. The action was pretty steady in the 3 hours that we walked.

agreed with gimruis on the heat. Maybe an hour or so in the morning but temps look to be too warm.

I used a garmin with my lab and even with the long prongs it wasnt effective. I switched to a dogtra 2100 and it was the best decision I ever made.

I have not had any issues. This is my 2nd season with this gun and I bought it brand new. I'd think the gunsmith would be able to work the issue out.

@skeet Mc I also shoot the SL in 20 ga. I love it. Easy to handle in the field, quick to shoulder and comes in a neutral cast which for me being left handed is a benefit.

walked yesterday for a few hours in the morning, disappointing end to the season. a lot of the cattails and thick cover were snowed in. didn't see hardly any sign at spots where i have flushed birds in the late season several times. Dropped in the cattails a few times just below knee height...

I agree with this post, a whistle stop has been one of the most effective and used commands while a field with my red lab Winnie.
