    Zero Degree Bag

    I have been comfortable down to 2 or 3 F with this and an insulated pad. Over 100 nights in it at various temps and very happy with the value. https://www.hykeandbyke.com/collections/down-sleeping-bags/products/eolus-800-fill-power-0-f-goose-down-sleeping-bag

    Video Editor / Movie Maker?

    I use lightworks, which is free and has treated me well.

    Old school duck hunt

    Is that a sharpie? Looks like a different kind of grouse.

    Upland Pant/Vest Recommendation

    Vest is a much more personal choice. I have a wingworks that I love for full days carry lots of water and shells/birds. For lightweight, filson and orvis make great options and it seems like there are new companies everyday.

    Upland Pant/Vest Recommendation

    For high dollar stuff, the new pyke gear thats advertising on all the podcasts is awesome. For budget, wrangler outdoor pants and Dan's chaps are as good per dollar as any gear I own.

    Any Pudelpointer guys here?

    I have DDs not PPs but everyone I know that has switched from Labs to german versatile dogs is very happy. The range issue is all training. My male is very hard headed but clearly understands that he can hunt sharpies at 400 yds before lunch and must stay within 40 yds to chase pheasant after...

    I can't speak to the sportdog stuff but this is a great point about rechargeable, good addition to the thread.

    Pointer breeds hunting fur

    I have let mine chase a few foxes that gave them the slip, and somehow haven't had a coyote encounter yet. I feel confident that either dog could dispatch a fox or yote (it wouldn't be free). I definitely believe that a drahthaar can catch a fox or coyote, I just don't know if the odds of...

    20ga Federal Heavyweights - Mod Choke

    My 20 gauge stevens 555 was overchoked with the heavyweights at .555 and .568, mod is much more open than those but may have a chance to work.

    Pointer breeds hunting fur

    I think this sums up the JGHV system's benefits as they apply to OPs needs very well. My two drahthaars are just as described above. If I let them they will fight anything and regularly kill coons, but will sit on the dock and watch geese honk away because I told them. If we are pheasant...

    Bark Collar for a big Stubborn Dog

    I have used two garmin products, the barklimiter and the PT10, the limiter has more options but the PT10 hits a little harder and works better for my stubborn one. The PT10 is designed to be paired with a non GPS garmin device but can be used solo without the handheld as a bark collar.

    Wounded game recovery with blood tracking dogs

    yep this is good advice. I use a pinch collar on my more aggressive pulling dog, just stopping is correction enough for the normal one.
