I've had a Weatherby Athena (20 ga, 26") since 1990 and have always shot it well. It has neutral cast. A few years ago, I added a Rizzini (20 ga, 29.5") which was cast for a right handed shooter. I shoot lefty due to eye dominance. I had a formal fitting and found I needed a longer length of...

Finally. after looking for years, found one of these at a price I could (kinda) accept. B Rizzini Round Body EL (original engraving pattern). 29.5", 20 ga, 6.4 lbs, choke tubes. I shoot lefty so I had the gun fitted and the stock bent for cast. It is beautifully balanced and I shoot it well. In...

Used but not abused collar in excellent condition. http://www.dogtrastore.com/2500tb.html#.V_LN8PkrLIU Collar is 6 years old. It was used little for the first few years but probably has 30 days/year for the past 2 seasons. It is charged after every day of use and monthly during the off season...

Thanks for the replies/suggestions. I called Deer Creek Animal Hospital and attempted to speak with Dr. Rezac. The receptionist assured me that he would give me a call. It's been almost 2 weeks and there has been no attempt to contact me. That, combined with a surprising number of negative...

Can the birds be found in the Walk-In properties?

Thanks for the input, guys. From researching the net, I've found a couple of potential options in Salina but haven't called them, as yet (Econo Lodge and Howard Johnsons). Both appear to have outside entrances with adjacent parking. I hate hauling all the gear through a lobby and/or up any...

I have an invite to hunt near Salina and am looking for a motel/hotel that will allow my dog in the room. Would much prefer an outside entrance from the parking area. Any suggestions? Any places to avoid? Restaurants? Thanks for your help, ratt

Quick update: I hunted out of Concordia for 2 days before the frustration of dealing with muddy and impassible roads got to me. I probably deposited 100 lbs of mud from Cloud, Clay, Republic and Washington counties in the bays of the Concordia quarter car wash. I did find a couple of covies...

Thanks for your suggestions. I booked a room at the Rodeway Inn in Concordia- $7/night extra for the pup. It's on the north side of town and I'm hoping that it's the same one that was suggested. I understand the caveat about expectations for success but I don't know of any area of Kansas where...

Hi Guys, I will be passing through the NE area of the state and, finally, have a chance to chase the dog around. Does any one have a suggestion for a pooch friendly (allows dogs in the room) motel in the Concordia/Belleville/Marysville area? Will be arriving on Friday (1/10) and staying until...
