Seems your own a rare thing

As far as temperament I have to say look at the breeding parents what the breeder is producing in the past. I've had DDs for over 30 years now and I have to say I've seen some that are a little growly but honestly that was in the '90s temperament issues have been dealt with breeding. I was a...

After a mouse thought living\eating my wingworks vest was a good deal for him I had to buy a new vest quick. Their was a wait for the final rise. I bought a kuiu. I also ordered a final rise, my youngest son will end up with the best I like least. I'm not unhappy with the kuiu at all but my...

I had a Garmin 100 and traded it in on a 300. I really like it. I will preface it with I've not had another brand. The things I feel have been great. I don't have to have a beeper in the field to find my dog hence I don't feel like I'm hunting with a dump truck. The Garmin 300 is really a gps...

I ordered a set of sitka Jetstream ws gloves. When I first got them my initial reaction that sucks they won't be warm at all. After hunting in NW IA last week in sub zero wind-chill I was very impressed. Very thin and warm due to wind stopper. I'm unsure of the durability in briars. One thing I...

I would say no. As someone said the invasive species issue is a hole other ball of wax and as I said every state is different. WI use a civil process which changes the level of evidence needed but only high fines and forfeture are what is at risk, no jail time. Another thing is people traveling...

Years ago I lost the handheld to my tritonics. Unknown to me a trip and fall over a stick launched it out of my vest pocket. Luckily I was able to backtrack and find it. So since I've been a freak about securing them. Recently I bought the 300. I have a strap vest. I have one of the pyke holders...

Ok I'm sticking my neck out here to be harrased and have to leave to board. I'm a retired Illinois CPO. Every state is different but with Illinois and with the USFWS and numerous other states, hunting and fishing checks are "inspections" not stops, like a traffic stop where probable cause has to...

Good wool sock is a must, the older I get the more I like otc

I really like my Garmin alpha (had the 100 several years then updated to the 300) before updating I researched other brands. I don't have any experience with anything except the Garmin alpha gps collars, so take that in consideration. I really didn't like the brands using my cell phone due to 2...

Carl from last year

One other thing is the fastest garmin collars can update location is every 2.5 seconds, a dog can go a long way in 2.5 seconds.

I remember when I was working and we got use of GPS we were extatic with the fact it could as to 30 yards off, we were happy. Always a margin for error if your connected less satellites, due to orbit of satellites things blocking view of the sky, the larger the margin of error. So looking at...
