This is a great bird hunting shotgun for somebody. I have one and its a favorite grouse gun. I use a BUL 12 Out West.

Another vote for Sound Gear in ear devices. What works well in a duck/goose blind, doesn't following bird dogs, for me. The muffs interfere with my gun mount and become insufferably hot in a short time in the grouse woods. Fitted and tuned by a PhD audiologist, Sound Gear's are very comfortable...

This is a very nice looking litter. Made even better, by having all the needed health clearances performed on the parents. Note: the pedigree link didn't work for me.

Certainly hope that GSP is all OK and that they catch and punish the perps. I about threw up my lunch after seeing that mess. :mad:

You might have better luck selling this dog if you would get him up to date on his shots. A savvy buyer will insist on this.

Well, for grouse and WC, you certainly have plenty of gun. Cylinder and Skeet 1. Agree with 7 1/2 and 8's.

Beretta or Browning are the best guns for the money. You will need to look for a nice pre-owned one in that price range. Some nice guns come on the market right before Christmas.

I don't think that is "Strange " at all. A guy who bought a dog @ MCK from Michigan told a similar story on Mi. Sportsman a few years ago. I relayed that information to the OP some years ago. Good Luck to both you guys. NB

I am sure Al.G would provide a first class, all inclusive upland bird hunting experience over his bird dogs for those looking for that kind of trip. Read those reviews. Mrs Bumpo and I fished the three famous spring creeks near Livingston (Armstrong's, Depew's, and Nelsons) with Al many times...

Al Gadory (sp) is a fly fishing/bird hunting guide on the Yellowstone River. We fished the spring creeks with Al many times, back in the day. Great guy. Not sure if Al is still in the game or not.

^^^^^^THIS^^^^^^^ I have also noticed this lackadaisical or almost totally absent lack of moderation on here too. SAD !! :mad:

AMEN !! Goodell is the worst excuse for a commissioner in 10 lifetimes !!

I'd wait until some reviews come out from people like Larry Brown, Nick Sisley or somebody like that. And I'd like to see what the weights are on the various models too. That said, CSMC builds some very solid S/S and O/Us. Just not sure how they can produce this kind of doublegun at this very...

That article cited above is a perfect example of "Fake News". There is no upside to leaving dewclaws attached for bird dogs. The AKC requires they remain for show dogs.

Hunter Safety Instructor here too; 40+ years and counting. I like to be on the safe side with shotguns for youngsters. A double gun, either S/S or O/U is a good way to go IME. Very easy to see whether the gun is in safe condition or not. Harder with pump or auto (the last gun I would buy for a...
