Wow I had no clue. I always thought it was just GSP and GWP
-
Lol the only thing that stopped me was the short hair. Cant use it for duck hunting the late season
-

ATbuckhunter replied to Water Rat's topic in Turkey Hunting
Ill be using my mossberg 535. This gun will be my dedicated turkey gun once I get a remington v3 for wing shooting -
Got it, thanks for letting me know. Looks like Ill be building one of these this summer.

Saw a video with a guy waoh training on table like that. How would you use it?
-
Gotcha! Thanks for the advice
-
I also looked at that. Hows the service on it? Some of the places I plan to grouse hunt with it have zero cell service (my experience while deer hunting those same areas).
-
I was looking at the Garmin ecollar and gps combined collar's last night. A bit pricey, but worth it if its good. Does anyone have any expereince with it?
-
Ive done a lot of research on the subject and I do agree that it can be an asset like everything else if used properly. Thankfully there are videos of the proper use of it on youtube as well as a friend that knows how to use them. That friend has had hunting dogs his whole life (has 13 dogs right now) and Ive hunted behind his dogs so I know he knows how to train them right. Only reason im not buying a dog from him is im a bit dead set on the breed I got. Although I did think of getting a GSP for a bit. Perfect! Thank you. I was thinking of the neoprene vest for duck hunting in december and january. Do you have any pictures of the training table?

Might as well since we got all the free time lol Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

This was the Rock Tavern chapter?
-
Understood! I was specifically meaning help with the hunting training as ive never trained a dog to hunt, but point taken
-
One of the sipulations of the contract I signed was to make sure I test the dog in a natural ability test
-
I posted it in the dog thread, but in December im getting my first bird dog...what things would you suggest I get (besides the leash, collar, food...etc). The breed is a small munsterlander which is one of the versitile dog breeds. The dog will be a house dog incase that makes a difference. I know I need to get a kennel, a pen, check cord, and some type of gps, maybe a shock collar and neoprene vest, but what else should I get hunting related. Ill be doing a mix of a little grouse, pheasant, waterfowl and when needed some deer tracking. Any and all suggestions welcomed
-
Thats what I read. I might pay a friend to train it or help me train it
-
Small munsterlander. First bird dog, so this is going to be a learning curve lol
-
No dog yet, but im picking up a dog in Livingston mannor in December
-
I just need more flies in general lol. What sighter material did you use?

Why is she wearing a scarf over her mouth if she wants to sacrfice the weak. If shes scared of getting it, maybe she should sacrifice her self as one of the weak? You can fix stupid man -
Is this your point fly?
-
Thats what I think im going to do. I like the system more than regular nymphing with a float. Basically exactly like the video I posted
-
I think you're best listening to pygmy on this one. I don't hunt out of my blind much becuase I prefer running and gunning
-
Yes it does mask some movement, so you shouldnt need a facemask if you're in the blind. I never had one in the blind and I was never busted, but you should still keep windows closed if you don't think theyll come. They'll be the able to see you moving if they can see through and see daylight through the other side. If you have the other side up, they should be able to see you well. One thing you can do is open up just a little of the other side that allows you to peak through, but doesnt allow any light in. You should be able to open it up enough to shoot through if you need to.

The Longbeards do tend to pattern more tightly due to the resin they use to keep it together. Its good if you take longer shots, but if they come close you can easyly miss a bird actually. I would suggest the TSS, but both will work well for you. TSS is very heavy so it should have the penetration out to 60 or even more, but as you already know thats not advisable. Most would say you should limit yourself to 40 yards in the woods, but since you are in a field you can easily stratch it to 50. Take a shot at 60 yards and see how it patterns. if you have more than 8 or so pellets in the head and neck area, then you're good at that range. People will disagree, but I say why not IF your load is capable of it. I never had much luck with decoys. My best strategy has been running and gunning with out them. They are a love hate thing...you love them when they work and hate them when they spook a gobbler. Pygmy knows some pretty good decoy strategys. Only open the windows you expect the birds to come from. Keep the other ones closed. If the blind has shoot through mesh, i suggest using it. Black is better, but I dont think it makes as big of a difference as people say. I always wear camo in mine, and never busted a turkey while moving around. You don't need another call for now, just get good with that one. Later on you should probably get another callb but to be honest I only use one call everytime too. A jake will have a small beard (up to 6") and the middle feathers of the tail fan will be noticably larger than the others. Some people say they can tell the difference between jake gobbles, but I honestly can't. The toms have longbeards which you will easily see.

Nice! Sounds like a good place to be come opening morning! I would kill to be able to hunt 10 min from the house
