    Essential upland bird gear for under $30

    A havalon or outdoor edge replaceable blade knife is always in my truck for cleaning birds and would make a good gift!

    12 Gauge vs 20 Gauge for bird hunting

    Definitely a 12 if you are at all concerned about bears. Also as stated above, you can find light 2 3/4 loads for smaller birds and 3 inch loads for ducks and geese.

    All-time favorite Sub Gauge Upland Bird hunting Gun?

    For a buy once, cry once gun...I'd go with a beretta 686/687 in 20 gauge. For something a little more affordable that still will get the job done every day of the week and twice on Sunday, get a Franchi instinct.

    Upland benelli

    Maybe it is just some guns that have these problems or maybe a QC issue with Benelli. I run more often than I'd like to admit when upland hunting, and like I said in my previous post the click has never happened to me.

    Upland benelli

    Keep the bolt fully closed and the gun will go bang every single time. Operator error.

    Upland benelli

    I have a Montefeltro and a Super Vinci. I keep reading about the "benelli click" that makes these guns "unusable", but I have put literally thousands of rounds through both guns and it hasn't happened to me. I can only assume it is operator error on the part of the folks having these problems.

    Garmin Alpha Issue

    Hi all, Just picked up a new Garmin alpha 200i and tt15x collar. Seems like a cool set up and I am just learning it, but when I hit the button that should turn the beacon light on the collar on/off it doesn’t work.

    Versatile hunting dog?

    My advice would be to search out a local navdha chapter and find a breeder through the club. Also, make sure to do your homework on the breeder and ask what they have been selecting/breeding for specifically. What would the breeders ideal dog look like? For example, I have a griff and I had to...
