Does anybody have any thoughts on the 300 WSM calibre for deer/elk? Reasons for or against? Any thoughts on the Kimber Montana, Sako, Remington guns. Thanks for your opinions.

I think our opinions do agree as I think we are both saying that it may be a good idea to match the dog to the cover. Also, I have found that pointers and labs have different needs when being kenneled during the day so that could play a part in a person choice. As for lazy labs, I have...

Welcome Greg. As far as a dog goes,I would wait a while and see where you end up hunting the most and choose a dog based on the type of cover you end up hunting.GSP's are great if you hunt in cover without a lot of briars or rose bushes etc, but if you end up hunting in a lot of thick, nasty...

Does anyone hunt around Lewistown or the Judith Basin? I bought a guided hunt at Lewistown at a Pheasants Forever banquet and am wondering what to expect.

The reasons could possibly be: 1. Looks 2. They may snag on something and get torn out while at home or in the field causing a trip to the vet.

There are no orange requirements as far as I know in Alberta, Montana or South Dakota. I assume some states have this requirement if you are asking. I always wear an orange hat and I have a shirt with orange shoulder pads and forearms. On a warm day when I use only the vest the orange on the...

I have the filson vest that JMB mentioned and I love it. Not fancy but really functional. Large bird bag Double pockets to separate shells from other items 2 pockets for transmitters Waist strap Zippered indise pocket I don't think you will be dissapointed if that is the type of garment you...

During the day I keep my 6yr old in a 10 X 6 chain link run in the garage where he is safe from the elements and any dangerous stuff that he may be tempted to get in to.(there is not much as I keep all motor oil, fertilizer etc up off the ground. My new pup stays in a 4 X 3 cage in the basement...

I use a plastic type collar that is sold in many stores (lucky brand I think). I have been writing dogs name and my cell number with a sharpy right on the collar. Seems to work good and last a long time without rewriting. You're right, it is important to have some form of I.D on your dog at all...

What does everyone think of the seemingly new trend towards grain free foods? I notice the food I am feeding my 6 yr old (Go Natural) now comes in a grain free version.

Thanks for the info Iowarider. I look forward to checking out those sites today.

This is my new pup Sunny. 9 week old Fox Red Lab.

I don't like the ingredients in this one personally. Usually the first 5 ingredients make up the majority of the food. Poultry by-product meal (natural source of glucosamine and omega-6 fatty acids), whole wheat, wheat flour, poultry fat (naturally preserved with mixed tocopherols), brewers...

I brought this up only because I want to find the best possible food for my dogs. The ingredients listed on the packages didn't really help me much as I am not a nutrition expert or vet. I have however learned that grains and corn are just fillers and not very good for the dog at all. Also...

http://www.acana.cz/orijen/orijen/ Thought this may be of interest to some. I am going to feed my new puppy this and switch my other dog over. I asked about Purina proplan at the kennel where my new pup is coming from and they said it was full of fillers (corn, grain) and ground up animal parts...
