I’m trying to remember if I ever made a negative comment about anybodies dog here, or anywhere else, and I’m not feeling it. I do remember the neighbor who had two Goldens out of the same litter, one hunted, one didn’t, but, the non hunter stayed with momma and was a great guard dog. No harm, no foul, as it were. I told people about that.
A different neighbor has a pair (sisters) of Goldens that were part of a study at the U of M trying to determine why some Goldens had short lifespans. Inconclusive, and his dogs are about 14, at the moment, so, it isn’t a thing with all Goldens. I told people about that. I’m sorry your dog died, Brent. I have been where you are, and I will go there, willingly, again. Gus was not a man, he was a dog, and dogs bring a different sort of acceptance and loyalty to a man that they consider their owner. A man can never be a dog, and a dog can never be a man. But, together, they can make a pretty good team.
Don’t assume the worst in people who disagree with you, here, Brent. Your dog wouldn’t have.
You have my sympathy.
Best, Ted Your memory is pretty selective Ted, but this is nothing new. And actually, I have never assumed the worst about people that disagree with me, and even spend many days every year, hunting, competitively shooting, and many other activities with them. But I have certainly let Fuse, craigd, Stanley, bipolar Kolar, and most especially you, among others, prove just how bad you can be to the world on your very own. Some are borderline "people" at best.

He doesn't have grandkids that have to negotiate the third worldchit hole that you are trying to turn the US of A into. If there's a bird dog heaven, I have one or two up there that would welcome gus.

It’s easy to get frustrated with constant political news, but focusing on preparing for hunting season is more enjoyable and practical. Build your stamina with regular walks, eat healthily, and take care of any medical or dental needs before the season starts. Ensuring your physical fitness, including a check-up with your doctor, is crucial for a good hunting experience.
Make sure your gear is ready: maintain your guns, check your hunting clothes and boots, and secure the right ammunition. If you’ve added new guns, test them thoroughly. By focusing on these preparations, you’ll enhance your anticipation for the season and find more joy in the process. So, take a break from the media and get ready for a great hunting season.

I don't have any trouble getting lead. I never have. Primers- yes for a while, but that wasn't because of the government. If lead is going to be in shortage it's because of the increase in battery powered cars. Gun owners should have a good supply of lead built up by now. I've got enough reloading supplies to last long after I'm gone. There's 50 bags of lead shot sitting inside the door in a crate at the gun shop I go to about once a month. Just waiting for people to buy. And my gun club has all the shot people need for sale. Jimmy once again shows his ignorance. Lead for shot and bullets is in short supply for two reasons. The Liberal Left Greenies have caused all of the lead smelting operations in the U.S. to be shut down. And lead and other components have been in short supply due to increased demand caused by the wars in the Ukraine and the Middle East due to Biden's foreign policy blunders. Electric vehicle batteries do not use lead. The batteries in E.V.'s use Lithium, Nickel, Cobalt, Manganese, and Graphite. Lead shot, primers, loaded ammo, guns, gasoline, groceries, mortgage rates, and just about everything else has become more expensive because our dollars are worth at least 20% less due to the inflation caused by Biden and Democrat economic policies. The ten year 1994 Assault Weapon Ban was signed by Democrat Bill Clinton. It expired in 2004, and anti-gun Democrats have been pushing hard to reinstate it ever since. The predicted increase in murders due to them did not happen, and most Republicans vote against a new assault rifle ban. More people die from hands, fists, feet, than rifles. The 2020 total for all rifles was 455, which is a tiny fraction of the over 100,000 per year who die from drug overdoses, largely due to Biden's open border. The Democrat war on the 2nd Amendment is not about saving lives. It is about taking our Constitutional Rights and disarming us.
A true sign of mental illness is any gun owner who would vote for an Anti-Gunner like Joe Biden.

....You are pretty creepy guy....
.....Did that make your day?..... Your dog is none of my business, unless your creepyarse wants to make it so Good post craigd. It never once occurred to me to post an announcement about the death of my dogs here, or to look for sympathy because of it. It is not at all surprising to see the Nutty Professor use the death of his dog as an excuse to lash out with a childish personal attack on his many enemies here. There have been quite a few doggy death announcement posted here. I suppose it could help some cope with what is a huge loss. Only this one strikes me as sick to the core.

Since the subject is Grouse - Any members here fortunate enough to shoot this coming Glorious Twelfth in England or Scotland? Would love to see images of the guns, dogs, and moors.
I'm up to 5.5 miles a day, plus my routine M-F. I plan on visiting the ADK and CNY again this fall before Virginia.
