I haven't read all the posts, so I don't know if anyone else who owns boith guns has posted.

But.... I do own both an SBE-II and an Xtrema 2. There are some things you need to consider with...

I do my best to keep control over my dog in the blind, and only let her retrieve on my command. I agree cripples need chased ASAP, and I don't really care about the "birds that are working" as...

Nope - wasn't joking. Was referring to the comment about the dog ending up in the pond after just hearing gun shots.

I agree with your ccomment. My dog always stays teatherd until the first...

So - a SH, almost MH dog broke at gunfire? How did they ever get past JH doing that? Even with no hunting experience, that should be the one thing that dog should have been able to do.

Go meat...

Just get a 100% British Lab. I was skeptical - thought it was just breeder hype. Either I was very lucky, or there is really something to those British lines.

Anyway - just my 2 cents. Like I...

Where do the birds land? Doesn't matter how great "the spot" or how perfect your decoy spread. If you're 100 yards off - you wont kill a bird - so you need to hunt where they want to be, not where...

I used to shoot a bunch of different guns. One for trap, one for skeet, one for sporting clays, one for hunting doves, one for waterfowl. Now I just shoot an Xtrema 2. Yes - if you really want to...

Another vote for Xtrema 2. First time I shot mine, it cycled light target through magnum loads without missing a beat. Knock on wood....

I did clean and lube it with CLP before hand. A lubed...

For shotgun plinking and doves, etc, recylced shot will save you enough money to make reloading worth while. I figured our my 7/8 loads were running me about $3 a box using it. Still - you have to...

I reload a lot. What I have found is that a 7/8 or 1 oz load is just fine for shotgun "plinking." 16 yard trap, skeet, sporting clays - if you're just goofing around. With the right components,...

Find out Friday... If no birds yet, back to bowhunting until it gets cold (Maryland).

My 2 cents - if you hit a bird with the center of the pattern, it makes no difference with what you hit it. Same goes for a miss.

Lots of guys swear by heavy this, blind that, black whatever.......

Well - if you subtract the guns, dogs, decoys, and specialty clothes as sunk costs:

license and special permits - $110 each for me and two sons

$20 in shells

$10 in gas

If you don't...

Nice looking pups. My new pup is due to whelp on the 19th - can't wait.

If you are looking for an all around shotgun, one that will do it all, upto 3 1/2 shells - then you either pickup an XTREMA 2, or an A400 XPLOR. These are the only guns I know that can handle...

I'm not into the time and money required for FTs. I want a good hunting companion - and that means a good friend to have around the house the other 300 days a year. But there is something to be...

Thanks, Dale.

Dog has been properly introduced and is supposedly pretty steady.

What I'm looking for is a desire to chase things that drop, and some innate instinct to bring it back. What do...

So my beloved Chloe is getting up in age and I am looking for a new dog.

I have a deposit on a nice male - great lines - 5-months old.

So.... I'm going to go take the pup on a little...
