Told you I'd get a hold of that camera today Hit the water for an hour and got a few 2-3lb fish. R

Hahaha , nice pup. That tail never stopped in the water, they love their swimming. R

Lol, I know nothing about cameras, photos or photography in general. It is something I could see getting into though. I will carefully borrow it again today with a different lens and hopefully hit the river. Shhhh!

Yep, that climb out is even worse when you've been skunked, been there before. Thanks for the update.

Stole/borrowed my wife's good camera for an hour and snapped a few pics of my GSP Jasper being crazy and pointing a few birds along the way. Some how that same camera will make its way to the steelhead stream this week for some pics

Oh man I wish, 156.00 to fill the tank yesterday. R

A lot of times these people actually leave a note apologizing to first responders, sad really. But yes I agree, truckers and subway car conductors are innocent victims of another persons illness when tragic events like this unfold. Hopefully the truck driver gets the appropriate help if needed in the months following.

Yikes, hell of a day. Puts it all in prospective after a day like that. R

Remington 870 EXPRESS PROS- Receiver is milled from solid steel,Tons of add on's and upgrades available, easily disassembled for cleaning, great combos available for a good price. CONS- Quality has slipped in the last few years, Rust is a problem, laminated stocks tend to swell when wet, single shell extractor. Mossberg 500 Pros- Dual shell extractors, Tang safeties, Great combos available, easily disassembled for cleaning, passed US military testing (includes 3000 rounds of 00 buck down the pipe) becoming a standard issue shotgun before the Benelli M4 S90. CONS- Aluminum receivers (i prefer steel), camo paint flakes off, plastic safety and trigger guard (military spec is metal) BPS Pros- Bottom eject for the lefties out there guys beside you in your duck blind will thank you, great walnut stocks with nice bluing on all metals, back bored barrels, tang safeties, Milled steel receiver. Cons- Little bit more in price but still cheaper than a Wingmaster, weight, ad on's extra barrels are big $$, disassembly for cleaning can be a pain. I havent shot Benelli Nova's enough to offer opinions on it, the Super Nova seems pretty slick thou amazing how it soaks up the recoil from a 3.5 shell. I have a few M12 Winchesters that are great, love the slam fire on them (hold the trigger down and pump). As stated before, these guns (870,500,BPS) if maintained and used properly will out last you, and for the price you don't have to worry about dog scratches, dinging it of rocks, rain, and all the other crap you put it through. Thats my 2 cents

New Winchester pump does look interesting.

Sinker, What makes the 870 the most reliable shotgun ever made? I have a few of them, as I collect pumps, particularly older ones. Just curious why you think this. R

A5 sweet sixteen ...... Now your talking upland gems.

Approach the 870 express with caution as in the past few years there have been some quality concerns. Stay away from the nitro all together. Are you a left or right shooter? BPS ( browning) makes an ambidextrous bottom eject shotgun comparable to a wingmaster. Go try them and swing them all. In my opinion the best shotgun is an older Remington WIngmaster, they just don't build them like they used to period. Down sides are it will likely have fixed chokes. This can be remedied . Then with the left over $$ from buying an older gun , go pick up a dedicated slug gun like the express. Canadian gun nutz is the site to look on for this type of info. good luck R

Too bad, was looking forward to the report.

I like my Simms waders. If there is a good thing to say about the white river waders it's that If they leak you take them back, when they leak again you take them back again. I have exchanged 3-4 Pairs with no problem. Never had a problem with my Simms.

Yep, start the revolution dose early this year.

Thanks, I'll send you a PM, just don't want to ruin anyones honey hole.

In the process, my son feed a bag of roe i defrosted to the dogs about an hour ago. Wonder if he's mad he's not going lol.

Great video !!! My wife is into falconry and flys Harris hawks, when I showed her the video she was amazed. Thanks

If anyone is familiar with the black river road area I have a question about a particular back lake, I've fished most back lakes in the area and done tons if hunting in the area, but one lake eludes me. Just want to see if anyone has camped on it. Thanks, R

Great night for that! Nice fish.

Floatfishing with " that guy" that thinks every time the float twitches or goes under it was a missed fish, even while fishing 4' of water with an 8' lead. Lol

Great video !!!

OK now we're talking, DO YOUR HOMEWORK!!! The breed is what everyone has already stated, highly active to say the least. As for the hunting part remember Good hunting lines are critical, your not looking for show titles, you need proven hunting pedigree. Stuff like NAVHDA(North American Versatile Hunting Dog Association) titles and total points awarded to the dogs. Ask the breeder to see his/her dogs work some birds, obviously ask about health problems and various health guarantees. Make sure if your buying local to check the kennel out in person. I was burned BIG TIME with my first GSP (for hunting) I wont even tell you how many thousands of dollars I spent on that dog trying to turn her field/show pedigree into hunting birds. My GSP Jasper, is from the States (same price as buying here) lots of great dogs up here ! but upland hunting is a little more serious down South. They take hunting dogs very serious. PM me if you would like breeder info both good and bad. A good place to checkout online is "the upland journal " more info than you would ever need. Good luck!

Are you using the GSP for hunting? R
