Photos Those are real good action photos. Getting multiple bird action photos are difficult. Nice group photo. Looks like there was a lot of shooting going on. How many rounds did it take to bag that many? HA HA

Dog Collar TriTronics is a good brand. I recently purchased a Dogtra 1500 1 dog model and am very satisfied with it. I borrowed the Dogtra model previous to the purchase. It has a 1/2 mile range and was $240 brand new. For the $ I am very happy. I don't get caught up in the real long...

Training Tips One thing I did with my dog is put her through puppy obediance class. You learn how to get your dog onder control and are tought to make sure you are always in charge. It goes hand in hand with at home and the field. Having your dog in the house with you is always best as they...

22 and 410 pistol Technically pheasants are considered small game in MN. Small game can be hunted with a 22 but nothing larger caliber than that. I have heard of the 22 and roadside thing. I have also seen where hunters have attempted to shoot a rooster sitting in a tree w/ a 22. In MN it...

410 Pistol I believe it is technically legal, but it seems like a grey area. I know it is legal to hunt small game with it, but why would you want to hunt pheasants with it? Hopefully it is used only for road hunting. I think if you here to take a shot at a flier it would only get injured...

Essential Gear Needed WEB-GUY is refering to me at the end of his reply. I have hunted in MN for 16 yrs in extereme conditions. Not saying that you will be in extreme conditions however the #1 thing I recommend is a good pair of boots. I have Irish Setters w/ 400 gram insulation (Gore Tex)...

410 willing to sell I have a single shot 410 virtually new, shot less than 1 box of ammo to date with it. Also have 4 boxes of ammo with it.

Of all the different types of ammo on the market, for the $ I have the best luck with Estate. It is inexpensive and works just as well as the "top of the line" spendy ammo. With the price of ammo these days and amount of shooting done in SD Estate is the way to go. ESTATE FOR LIFE!

Buffalo Butte It's is difficult to not have a good time with the Springers. You can basically do all types of hunting and shooting from sunrise to sunset.
