Gentlemen, I am in need of some 16 gauge Remington Game load hulls. These are the black shells that can be bought at the big box stores. I am willing to buy whatever you can spare,

I have a hand full left of a box of ribbed black plastic 16ga Remingtons with cardboard wads and no shot cups that I bought in 1965. I never throw anything away.... I'll put them in my will for you Dave...

Charlie, Nothing special really. I am set up for them and have a pile of wads,etc. I load them several way's and use them in all my 16 gauge gun's. A lot of guys like the cheddite hulls like Winchester,RST etc. and every once in a while I splurge and buy a flat of RST's. I think there is no better but reloading is still cheaper and I enjoy it.

Thanks to a couple of generous PGCA members I have a supply on the way. We really do have a bunch of great guy's here.....:bowdown:

I'm addicted to them because they make wonderful crimps, indistinguishable from new out of the box. I only bought a couple hundred from BP years ago, enough to last me out, so I have none to spare.

King, If you bought a couple hundred a few years ago you don't shoot enough...:whistle:

It's true, I don't shoot as I did, clays a few times with the kids, but mostly for birds. A couple hundred new hulls in 12, 16 and 20 will see me out with a few flats of Kent TM. The limit on blacks is five, the geese toll well, but I bought some beautiful magnum drake whistler decoys for the divers mix next season so enough maybe not!

King, Do you have or have you used a Nova Scotia Tolling Dog? I had a friend who passed away a couple of weeks ago who had a wonderful one, "Rusty" that was a fabulous dog on just about any kind of fowl, be it geese, ducks or woodcock. What has been your experience with these dogs?

Dean, yes, I've gunned with the Nova Scotia Toller when it was called the Little River Duck Dog, starting about 50 years ago. (My neighbour a kilometre away bought one last fall.) They're intelligent, all they're cracked up to be, the only limitation in temperament, usually a one-person dog. They're not as tractable and laid-back as a Lab.

I remember a toll of about 200 bluebills in a salt-water harbour called Ostrea Lake on the Eastern Shore, not far from where Destry Hoffard was tub-shooting a few years ago. The birds were a long way off, maybe a quarter mile, and the birds tolled in a tear-shape like attracted by a magnet.

Another time I used my black Lab on bluebills and he brought 100 bluebills nearly ashore on the edge of a field jutting into a brackish pond behind a bay. I kept throwing a stick, the birds kept coming, and Jake didn't break.

Thanks King, that's about what I understand of these dogs. I thought it was the dog's coloration but using a black lab as you did makes me believe it's just the curiosity of the fowl that is their undoing.

Susan and Dave have some great dogs, I have one of their Labs.
They have been breeding NSDTR for a number of years.
