    Game bird Mounts

    i've got mine and my dog's first ever pheasant i'm wanting to get mounted. I'm going with a standing pose but what are everyone's opinions on the tail feathers? i've seen everything from 1 o'clock to 3 o'clock and the one above seems to be about 4 o'clock.

    Kansas Trip

    I usually feed twice a day. when we are doing bird work in the morning or trials i just feed once at night. When we've had a long day of training/trialing i usually mix water and/or canned salmon in oil with his food to promote feeding.

    Kansas Trip

    I've been planning my dad, my GSP, and I's first wild bird hunt (ever) to Kansas for about 6 months now. Pretty much everyone that has shown interest (and has a dog) the past couple months is unable to go. We are doing WIHA only hunting in and around the Hays and Lacrosse area (got a house in...

    GSP and collar issues

    In every instance, it’s an immediate response. Collar, no collar, yard, field, etc. just apparently not when he’s 6 feet from the bird and I’m kicking brush not to his liking. Lol. At one trial his snap lead came off his tie out post. I didn’t notice till I saw him making a bee line to the...

    GSP and collar issues

    i have heard someone say that the "terrible 2's" were the same for dogs as it was for kids. i didn't know if it was a joke or them being serious. i'm hoping its just a phase. when we do yard work i usually use no collar and leave the check cord on him he'll hold it all day and i'll throw hats...

    GSP and collar issues

    i've got a 2.5 y/o male GSP and he has a really good nose. we don't have wild birds here so most of our bird work is either in the training field or in NSTRA trials all with planted quail/chukar. the issue i'm running into is that whenever the e-collar is on he's the perfect dog. holds point...

    2021 Colorado Elk Pack List

    i see the water bladder but didn't see a water filtration device for the bladder? are you using the steripen on the nalgene and pouring it in the bladder? might want to look into a quick disconnect attachment for the bladder to make filling it easier. or run an in-line filter.

    Colorado draw results!

    Really curious of the draw report. When does that usually come out? I applied for unit 67 archery. Was 20% with 3 points last year and I had 4 points this year and was unsuccessful on 1st choice.

    WTB WTB SxS 20ga

    Thanks to a member here I got a 16 matching my criteria. Might still be on the lookout for a 20 too as a backup or for buddies that want to go hunting. So I’ll do one more bump.

    My favorite little bird gun has bit the dust. Gunsmith has advised it'd cost more to fix than the gun is worth. And a whole lot more to restore it. So the market being what it is now for new firearms looking to see if anyone has an old side by side shotgun they'd be willing to part with it. My...

    Recommendation for Shotgun Gunsmith

    I don't guess i knew Orvis did gunsmithing. but both of those options seem to be extremely high for a cheap gun i won't to bring back to life.

    Recommendation for Shotgun Gunsmith

    Background: I bought an old 1960's Dakin Model 160 20 gauge Side-by-Side last year in fair shape. I used it almost exclusively in my first year of running dog trials this year. I tried shooting other guns and I just did not hit birds as consistently as I did with this old gun. When I bought it...

    Clarification on Colorado Turned In Limited Licenses

    the $600 isnt the issue. I'll pay to keep my points. I just want an additional point if i do that. i'm essentially giving up my first choice tag why can't i pay to keep my points and get an additional preference point. i understand that's not how the system works just seems odd. and it would...

    Clarification on Colorado Turned In Limited Licenses

    but why lose out on getting an additional point this year? I can just take another point to put me at 5 points next year and make a near impossible New Mexico application for 2022 and use my 5 points in Colorado next year. if i draw the impossible New Mexico tags then i'll pay the fee to keep my...

    Clarification on Colorado Turned In Limited Licenses

    i don't mind eating the tag fee to keep my points (in theory). its the fact that i also lose a year in the point creep of the draw by not gaining a point by turning it in. so while everyone else gets closer to their desired point destination, next year i'm in the same boat as i was this year...
