    May I ask you what you are pulling it with? SUV or truck. At my NAVHDA chapter in CT, a member has a similar size Airway RV I looked it up and it ain't cheap.

    How easy is it to drive with that on those BLM roads in the west? In a way I was always afraid of pulling an RV in those places. This is way I am considering an awd Ford Transit. Less roomy, less comfortable but easy to handle IMHO.

    No. It will be too low for that. Though overall size and interior space will probably be bigger than the Wrangler and the Land Cruiser. This seems too be such a good expedition vehicle that I might be ok with the tradeoffs. At this moment in my life, given my outdoor hobbies such as upland...

    Which van to start with?? Please help

    Have you given a thought to a Nissan NV V8? I know it is small and ugly, but it is architecturally similar to the Ford E. Also there are some dealers that convert them with the Titan's 4x4 parts. There videos online. Which one? The current Svana models? They are indeed cheap and come with a...

    Which of the Western states has those flooded corn or soy fields where you go and shoot like 1000 ducks? Isn't it OK? In April my pup passed her first hunting test, VJP (Natural Ability Test) with a 62 points. I expected a bit more, but for a six month old pup she did very good. She got...

    Wow. such a detailed answer. Thanks! TX is indeed a huge state. I am surprised you don't have a wild chukar population in places like Big Band and mountains around there. It does look like Nevada. Maybe unlike Nevada or Oregon the introduction has never been done there.

    Thanks @Tex68w really appreciate your insight. I never heard of this bird. Is it hard to find/hunt them? Yeah, I kind of had a guess that would be the case. Not that it's a bid thing, but it may not be always the option, though usually the prices are reasonable, at least in the Northeast. What...

    Yes New Mexico is a massive public lands state. What would one hunt in OK? quail and prairie grouse?

    Question for Texans. What are the bird, (upland / waterfowl and some small game such as rabbits), hunting opportunities in TX? Let me give you more details what I mean by this question. I know there are a tons of birds and bird flyways everywhere in TX, but there are virtually no public lands...

    I am absolutely in love with this thing. I am working on to get a Ford Transit AWD or a Sprinter, but somethings is telling me in my mind to wait and see the Grenadier first. A new Grenadier may not even be that expansive than a new, but empty, 4x4 Sprinter.

    There are some actual testing videos. And not too bad ones.

    Free state in the northeast is a quite relative term :D Maine and New Hampshire are somewhat exceptions but to your point, yes, I heard some people allegedly do it but you have to be careful doing it. You might get ambushed at the border if someone snitches you...

    AWD transit in sand

    Around February I rented a 2020 Transit, short with low roof, 2WD from U-haul. I think it was one of those atmospheric engines since I didn't see an EcoBoost sign. Not a bad engine at all btw. We loaded it with 2 big sofas and some bags. On the way home, in CT, we hit a snow storm. My driveway...

    That one was quite weird one. I think it was caused by a honest confusion rather then an partisan or adversarial thinking. I talked to a Fousek guy at the 2020 Pheasant Fest who had a very handsome, almost full brown Fousek. He told me that the name, Griffon, was understood as a breed name...

    @Sparse Gray Hackle They once used to be the same breed, but the people with brown colored dogs decided to ban the dogs with black marking. The reason was it looked too much of an English Setter and there were alleged unsanctioned crossbreeding that between the GLP and ES that took place. Though...

    Yeah. Cape Code is getting packed. I know of foamily who moved from NYC to Cape. Though is a good patch of forest left right of the canal, but I am sure if you dare to shoot a gun someone's gonna call cops. No, but close. It's a German Longhair Pointer aka Deutsch Langhaar. She does look like...

    I find this interesting. The pen raised bobs would hold quite a bit if my dog keeps like 10-12 feet away. This morning she stood about 20 feet away. As she moves closer they fly out. There is so much advantage for running a pup on actual wild bird. It makes dog be more accurate, careful and...

    Interesting. I have not seen them yet. or maybe my pup does not yet know how to find them. One can track the migration here. It seems they indeed have made it to MA, especially in the Cape area. https://www.woodcockmigration.org/migration.html This is a fantastic source. BTW, may I ask if you...
