Anyone have any recommendations where I can get my hands on some pen raised quail to work my dog on around BR? Looking to do a couple of runs before woodcock season kicks in.

I will say that the ecollar feature of the Alpha is not the most user friendly for administering corrections.

Does anyone know if the tt25 is able to connect to a separate device like a tri tronics device or once it is connected to your alpha, you can’t connect it to an older controller?

I was originally dead set on a garmin but I don’t think I need all the bells and whistles it provides… my main concern about the pathfinder is how you use your phone instead of a handheld and how it would drain my phone battery

Additionally, I want to know more about how well the pathfinder works when you lose signal. I’ve certainly been places where I didn’t plan to lose it but did and if I haven’t already uploaded a map, I’d hate to be SOL

I’ve seen they have to be TSA approved and I’ve seen not to use TSA approved

I’ve done both and I haven’t seen any issue there… I usually use my regular non tsa locks but keep a set of tsa locks on my carryon just in case

Not a bad idea. I’ve had guns miss a flight to Canada once and we had to make the airport hold them until we flew out

I fly with guns at least 5 times a year. My 2 best pieces of advice are to get a lock for every hole and to absolutely make sure they put that piece of paper with your signature in the case with your guns. They say to make sure there is a lock on every hole but I’ve only seen it enforced a handful of times. One time in Washington the baggage guy tried to pry open my case to prove a point that my case didn’t have enough locks even though there was one for every hole. He made me buy extra locks and duct tape the case… as for the slip of paper, I have heard horror stories from friends about TSA not seeing the slip and confiscating the guns because they weren’t checked in properly. I had to tell the new baggage lady at MSY last year how to do it because she almost forgot mine.

Oh, and don’t skimp on a shitty case. I’m convinced they try extra hard to break your stuff because they know they are guns. I have seen them crack Pelican cases before and I consider those good.

I just ran into them at a trail head and didn’t want to be that guy who interrogates everyone as they get to their trucks. He did mention that this year has been really tough though. I was scouting for ducks and didn’t find a drop of water so I figured it had to be related to the drought as well

They look almost identical to a snipe but bigger. Those bastards are hard to find in a dirt field so I’d hate to know what finding a dead woodcock in a leafy forest is like

So what’s the deal with the free canes??

Regardless if it lands just east or west of BR, we are fricked when it comes to tree damage…
