I wish I would have made a big door. any body know of a design that makes it easer to catch them... if you had a small removeable avery and could push them to the avery with some kind of moveing wall .. you could use the avery for your bird box. catching them is a mess I have seen a simular idea wit...

madduckdog

I have a 3ft by 5 ft one now like the LCS plans.

it is a pain to clean... and catching pigeons...

but if it was narrow it would make it a lot easer...

madduckdog

has anyone tryed to make a coop only 2 foot wide say a 6 x 2 x 4 or is 2 foot just too short...

for say 8 or so birds.

madduckdog

I have always wondered about that place too..

almost pulled the trigger once.

madduckdog

I wonder if all those low T commericals are fake .....

can a dog have low T

madduckdog

get out early when it is cooler. hunt the area where you found the covie. don't shoot until the dog starts pointing. wild birds will not stand for a dog to crowd them tame birds will let a dog get close ... your dog will learn this with a few flushes. When he does hold a point Kill the bird for him....

madduckdog

I am no expert and don't have enough wild birds to try the wild bird thing.... but here is my thinkin. use pigeons. If you mess up you migh not mess up her love for game birds. not being a pro I am not sure when I can presure (push the button ) a dog on wild birds ..but pigeons can create a controle...

madduckdog

thanks,.. if I make the trip I send you a PM

madduckdog

I have been trying to get a WI trip up but everyone keeps backing out

madduckdog

in our part of the country it may be the only choice

few bird hunters left.

fewer willing to go on a boon doggle "trip up north"

madduckdog

how much do they usually cost for young ?

madduckdog

if I just trap some will they home back from say 10 or 20 miles or do I need homers ?

and where would I get some homers ?

madduckdog

I am not a expert. I am on my second dog he is 9 mo now and has started to point wild quail and woodcock. Some one told me last month a few wild bird encounters is better than many tame Bird encounters. I beleive this to be correct. My dog was pointing tame birds at 3 mo or so but did not point wild...

madduckdog

Why does MO not have a upland stamp, they could use the money to rent or buy more land to manage quail....if they could be sucessfull they would draw bird hunters from around the USA makeing more money for the state and more money to spend on quail management... but it sounds like they are like AR m...

madduckdog

You can hunt as much as you wish...

the guest policy is very restrictive 4 a year and no one guest can go more that 4 times EVER.

I guess the real question I am asking is how good is the KS public walkin areas compaired to the MAHA units ?

madduckdog

Mid America hunting Association...

is this a good deal for someone from TN that plans on makeing 7 or 8 trips

madduckdog

As soon as he is heeling well I will start. formalizeing Obedience. then FF just like the smart fetch DVDs. I have trained one other dog a VDD and It was a good dog it handled ok,.. some ...

madduckdog

and eps run navada but not labs which are breed to flush

madduckdog

I have been wondering if pratice for NAVHDA NA test incurages this

madduckdog

how harmfull is it. When NA tracking training the pup finds the bird the bird cannot fly so he usually catches it. How does the pup know the difference when he is hunting a running bird and starts trackin. also I have been told never let him get it in his head that he can catch a bird seems like tra...

madduckdog

look at Dhan guns

I shoot AYA

madduckdog

any one seein MO woodcock

madduckdog

There are folks in AR and TN that have started doing perty good on the woodcock. Wif No quail to speek of they have started hunting them and they tell me they do good for about 3 weeks on good years... I am going to try to shoot them this year. Let me know when you start seeing them so I will know w...

madduckdog

ok I may get hammered for this but here goes my thought and I am not a expert in fact I am no were neer it. I think some pups need to know who is the boss.. and the grabin by the scruff may be not enough. My dog did not respond well to that but I had to be a little more rougher. I now beleive that p...

madduckdog

anybody got any detailed info in this method

madduckdog

I did have a dog that did that I never fixed it don't let Whinning get out of hand...... It will be a big problem if you duck hunt.... it can be a big problem and very hard to fix.....so hard some dogs go under the knif to stop it...... I wish I could give you a fix ,.... I wish I had found one

madduckdog

also if you are going to duck hunt,.. or hunt with many folks you need to get him usto more than one shot at a time.

madduckdog

Worried no way you have found some wild birds be thankfull,.. and pm me as to where you were but no one else

madduckdog

he is starting to tip toe then swim a a little. He is just about their. Another dog helps a bunch. I may try the cheetos again to get him on out their

madduckdog

should I get a g3 and save some money or get the pro 100 and be broke for a while ?

any one got a g3 combo

madduckdog

update he has gone in with other dogs when it gets swimmin deep he sinks then turns around,.. yep his head goes under. he keeps going in with other dogs and after 3 or 4 times he will just stop in the water before he sinks and turn around. he will fetch in the water but not in swimming depth water.....

madduckdog

I am teaching the place command also so on the very slow days the dog can have a little more freedom in the blind to sit stand or lay down.

madduckdog

what about at the tracking part can you tell the pup to find or dead or somthing to let him know its tracking time ?

madduckdog

OK my pup is 11 weeks. I may try this
I need a strong water dog,.... I duck hunt alot.

what do you do if the dog starts to struggle as you are putting it in the water ?

how many times should I do this a session ?

madduckdog

I have been told not to force any thing with water... would holding carrying him in the water be force ?

madduckdog

Ok I tried the trick and my dog stayed on the bank and ate duck turds.

I can get him to get in about half way up his body but he will not go deep enough to swim

he is 11 weeks old any more suggestions.
