If there was no vet available. On the tailgate I would fill with neosporen (keeps the hair out of wound) ,shave the surrounding area, totally clean with lots of pressurized saline. Then spot weld it with 3m vetbond (I am not confident with a stapler). And be at the vet when they open.

A positive to steady to flush in a pointing breed is stop to flush. This allows you to catch up and handle the dog for any stragglers. Especially handy on prairie birds

If you look at financials for PF the bulk of the annual revenue is from government grants through the pitman-Robertson funds. That is why they partner with states so they can get a portion of the states pitman allocation. They spend more in advertising than all the banquets and memberships...

I have several 1100’s and the only time I have cycling problems is from plastic buildup in the chamber. Scrubbing the chamber really good with a brass brush has always worked well for me.

Live in Kansas City but have to drive a couple hours to find huntable numbers.

Anyone get out opening weekend? Hunted Friday with low expectations but after seeing 2 coveys on the road thought I might actually get into birds. Had a great hunt saw 5 big coveys and a few pheasants on the day not counting the 2 coveys on the road. A lot better than the last few opening...
