The number of lead balls of bore-diameter size that it takes to equal 1 pound.

Great pictures! Thanks.

That's terrific news! Very happy for you.

I wouldn't. If that were the case, why don't people eat more coyotes?

I get both Pointing Dog Journal and Gun Dog and like them both.

Somebody was looking for info on the G3 a few days back. Here's the text of a press release that came out today: Tri-Tronics Announces Major Innovations for Hunters and Professional Dog Trainers Tucson, Arizona - Tri-Tronics, the industry standard in electronic dog training equipment, is pleased to ...

I grew up and still live around a lot of farmers and ranchers, and most are outstanding people. However, I know some who shoot tule elk indiscriminately and others who believe that anadramous fishes should receive no consideration in water allocations. As a group, they're not always my first choice ...

QC, Where does your theory that they "strike so often" in the wild come from? That's a helluva lot wilder than the adult venom-control thing (which is science-based). A single rodent that's as big around as they are will last them a couple of weeks before they start to feel hunger pangs again, so th...

A trainer who lives near me always says the only time it's too late to start training a dog is after it's stopped breathing. I'd go for it.

I was only planning on using it when I knew there was a runner in front of the dog, but this whole concept is brand new to me.

I've been whoa-training my English setter with just a check cord (half-hitch tied around the rear end). We tried the post a couple of times, and she was so miserable that I don't have the heart to put her back on it. We're progressing fairly well and she's now stopping at a considerable distance whi...

It's great that your dog will be OK. A rattler – especially an adult – will often deliver a dry bite when it feels threatened. It's not easy for them to produce venom, and somehow they learn that it should be saved for food acquisition, if at all possible. That's why the babies are more dangerous – ...

My brother just picked up a French Brit puppy that was born with a tail that can't be longer than 2 inches.

Here's where I got mine.

I have a 22-month old English setter that hates any type of loud noise – except for gunfire, which thrills her to no end. Not sure exactly how things worked out the way they did, but I'm sure thankful for it.

That's great. Thanks for posting that.

Sorry, I didn't mean a collar with a hawk scream setting, but an actual wooden mouth call that you blow into to produce the sound. Supposedly, a wild rooster won't budge if he hears it and believes it's real – he knows that if he shows himself by flushing or running, the hawk will be all over him. I...

I ordered a screaming hawk call from an Internet site, and it arrived today. Seems like it's pretty easy to use. I listened to a recording of an actual red-tail scream on another site, and it doesn't seem too difficult to duplicate. I bought the call primarily to use on wild ringnecks in Montana thi...

I bought the cheapest one sold by Cabela's. So far, so good, but I haven't put many rounds through it yet.

All four of our dogs have the run of the house and go in an out a doggie door as they please. The Lab and setter usually sleep on the couches in the living room. The Lab, who's 5 now, used to sleep in the bed with us, but my wife gave him the boot when he got too big. If she goes out of town for som...

Both my Lab and my setter eat grass, but they're pretty selective about it. I've been studying it for awhile, but I'm still not sure what constitutes good-tasting grass to them.

HRC,

My Lab hunts quail just fine – he just does it in the same harg-charging style with which he hunts everything else. He might not be ideally suited for the task, but he has a lot of fun, and so do I.

No doubt, Willie. Neither of the two I've seen pointed anything like that.

I don't know how many pointing-Lab people there are around here and I don't want to offend anybody, but I just thought I'd share an experience from yesterday. I met a pro trainer out at my hunt club in the morning for some whoa work with Mazie, my English setter, that didn't involve a post. Mazie do...

Like you, I love all sporting breeds and wish I could live long enough to experience ownership of each. Right now, I have a yellow Lab that's a once-in-a-lifetime dog in his prime. He has so much energy, natural talent and desire (and it was absolute plain, nearly-blind dumb luck that he joined our ...

I have a female English setter that will turn 2 in September, and she's a joy to have around. She likes to roughhouse occasionally with my much-stronger Lab, but she is beyond gentle around people. She's the first setter I've owned or spent much time around, but here are some things I've experienced...

Casper,

I live in Paradise (1 1/2 hours north of Sacramento, 10 minutes east of Chico). What town in NV are you from?

Hi everybody, I've visited this forum quite a few times, but never registered until today. I have a yellow Lab and an English setter (the setter is now much larger than in the photo). We hunt upland and waterfowl primarily in Northern California, but we go to northeastern Montana for a week every Oc...
