  1. I'm still undecided on getting and auto or O/U. Just keep going back and forth. It's going to be strictly for upland so I'm leaning towards an O/U for weight and easy of carrying. But man there are a couple auto's I've fallen in love with!
  2. I am In search of a Hummingbird Xi 9 20 or Xi 1521 to hook to a Helix 7. Any chance anyone has one they are willing to part with? Thanks Matt
  3. You are correct, they also eat squirrels, rabbits , turkey, pheasant, quail, grouse, small deer ( I've seen it) , invade people's private stock. Oh yea they also invade nests of all of the above and more, so the list never ends on why these things shouldn't be taken.
  4. Leaning somewhat towards the Beretta a400.... any one running one of them?
  5. So this dog I have who will be 1 year old January 15th, has completely changed me and how I choose to spend my spare time. I have become addicted to following him around in the fields and getting him in the duck blind when possible! That being said I'm in the market for a new upland gun! Any recommendations on a good gun? I'm thinking I want something somewhat light in a 20 gauge...... but open to all ideas. Really not looking to drain my bank account but I am willing to put down some cash for something nice!
  6. Pm sent, not sure if it went through though......

  9. We were able to put a good mixed bag together yesterday and was finally fortunate enough to kill my #1 target bird this year! My first Redhead. I'm looking to get this guy mounted, Amy suggestions on someone who does quality work on birds? Sent from my SM-A716U using Lake Ontario United mobile app
  10. I where it to and from , but not while on stand. I will continue you doing this no matter what laws are put into place! Why? I also lease and pay alot of money and do a ton of work every year to enjoy deer season. If I wear my orange while I'm elevated every trespasser that comes on my property can see me much much easier. I like to have them nice and close so there is no escape for them! Some things are just out of control these days, next it will be if you want go hunting it's mandatory you have a vaccine!

    That's really scary! Glad all is good. This is probably my favorite reason amongst many other that I am glad I made the switch to a saddle. The safest I've ever felt, since you are ALWAYS connected to the tree from the time you leave the ground and come back. Also there is always tension to assure you that you're connected!

  13. Cool as hell man and I jealous behind belief about that woodcock hunt! Hopefully can get a deer killed asap so I can use my rutcation on chasing birds! Was super close this morning, back in the same spot now blowing around like a weed! Sent from my SM-A716U using Lake Ontario United mobile app

  17. Gunnar really showed his versatility this weekend as we hit the marsh for his first duck hunt on his 9 month birthday! Retrieved every bird ( some with a little assistance of rocks) like a rock star! The last retrieve was pushing 80 yards or more and he was on it like he's been doing it for years! Half way back with the some what alive bird in his mouth he decided to cut into the coattails? I figured maybe he was just getting tired and trying to find an easier route back to the blind. A few minutes go by an still no dog? I could hear him splash every once in a while but could not get him to come. Finally I jump in the water and track him down 30 yards from the blind stuck! I get to him and the bird is know where to be found and the dog unable to move! I was afraid he was caught in a trap, but luckily he was not! I free him up and he tries to move but just freezes and favors his back leg. I ended up having to carry him back to the blind, half hour later he appeared to be fine! Thank god!! I'm guessing maybe he just got a cramp? My only concern now is, he had a Slightly alive bird in his mouth when it happened and dropped it. I really hope he doesn't associate the injury with that bird being in his mouth! I tried throwing a few dead ducks in the yard to see what he would do, but all he would is take off like usual on a retrieve but once he hit the bird would sniff it and walk away! Also would not hold the bird if I put it in his mouth. Man I hope this isn't a new trend! Sent from my SM-A716U using Lake Ontario United mobile app
  18. Very cool and congrats on the successful youth hunts would have loved to do it but we have been busy trying to get a deer killed for my son. What breed is Hank? Sent from my SM-A716U using Lake Ontario United mobile app
  19. Well today was a special one! Was able to Finally meet up with Bradon aka Steelie here on LOU and put our boys together. If it hasn't for this man I would not have the dog I do , and it means alot. He told me how special these dogs are and he most definitely wasn't worng. Today Blaze showed up pointing and retrieving birds like these guys are bread to do. Gunnar payed lots of attention, and by the end of the day followed suit. FINALLY Retrieved 2 fresh birds to hand and we just missed our glory camera shot with both dogs locked on point on the same bird side by side of each other on the last bird of the day!! Was truly awsome! Can't wait to do it again brother and man watching these dogs work is truly special! Now on to trying to get the kids on some deer this week old.

  22. Sounds like a great time! I'm just getting into this bird dog game and I am absolutely hooked! Nothing like watching all the hard work come together. We did Pheasants last weekend and hopefully some more this weekend after I take my 12 year old on his first duck hunt! Fingers cross the dog retrieves both my sons and his first bird at the same time...... can it get any better then that? Actually possibly when my son shoots his first deer and the dog tracks it!
  23. So we were fortunate enough to be able and go back Sunday afternoon to put Gunnar on some more birds. Much tougher conditions then Saturday morning. Warm, windy, and very dry. He was able to put up one out of for birds. With the grass and brush much dryer his face and around his eyes got pretty torn up! Is there anything you guys do to help them from getting to beat up? Thinking about getting him a skid plate for his belly.
