Same exact issue with my Setter. Try apple cider vinager it works no joke my dog stopped itching and the redness and inflammation went down big time in a day.

I was looking at the Pheasant count in South Dakota and it is down from 4.19 to 1.52. Seems like a very drastic drop to me and it is even more concerning because the report from the DNR said in other words not to worry. Numbers don't lie hoping it is not a replay of what has happened here in Illinoi...

It was a nice point but bad camera work by me. I gotta get better at that next year.

The Quail are thick where I hunt at wish I saw more phez.

Well I went hunting Sun and noticed my dog was eating grass nothing unusual because he does it often with no problems. Today he had a hard time going to the bathroom I had to help him get it out. While helping it looked like string but I noticed it was grass but it was thick like hay. Should I take ...

Your pup will be alright right it is just a baby. Focus on recall and manners and more recall let it have fun this hunting season and you will see when the light comes on. That is the best feeling when you see the pup mature in front of your eyes.

Love your pup establish a bond and teach it to come when called. Trust the bloodline and be patient you have many more years with the dog.

Can't wait season starts in April here in Il.

Leinenkugels summer shandy in the summer time when it is in season. But a cold coors light can get the job done.

We went hunting yesterday and I always knew that gundogs are tough but I really got to thinking about what these dogs go through. Is it to please the owner or is it because they love to find birds? I often feel bad for my dog because of the punishment that he goes through, my dog sometimes is in obv...

Hunted my setter in SD during late dec 3 deg had no problems except the balls of snow hanging off his featherings.

gripper39

Oops didn't mean it like that I would not shoot the birds for just the dog to eat just wondering if it would be possible to use as part of an all natural diet.

gripper39

Has anyone ever fed their dog phez meat? Heard of a woman that feeds it to her dogs but they are not gundogs. Will it make my dog try to eat the birds?

gripper39

It is three feet all except his left foot but he licks his left elbow

gripper39

Any suggestions or remedies for this would be greatly appreciated. My dog has licked himself raw on his feet vet said it could be from boredom or allergens in the grass. Vet just told me to watch for infection, and to wipe feet regularly after he goes out. My dogs feet are not getting infected and I...

Just wondering if I could use an old ironing board as a whoa table?

I like the horizontal tail very pretty.

I was just wondering if anybody has seen a beeper collar spook birds? I just got one about a month ago and love it but it seems like some people think it spooks birds away others think it spooks birds into holding tight. Just a question Ive been wondering about.

I drive a 2003 Jeep Cherokee Overland 4x4 and V8 smooth enough to ride i n the city and highway yet rugged enough to take it hunting with dog crate and everything.

gripper39

I was just wondering about the smell of game birds do they all smell the same and do they smell different than regular songbirds? My dog mainly hunts pheasants and quail but I have used chukar to train him and at the hunt club he has pointed partridge. Why would a pigeon smell different than a songb...

I love love phez but don't mind catchin a covey or 2 of quail.

gripper39

Good deal I just got one for 307 new and I thought that was a deal. Wish I could have came across the price your talkin about.

gripper39

Pheasants because they are so unpredictable but I do like to catch some quail in there as well.

gripper39

I have to use the crate only place in the car that my dog doesn't get sick.

Has anyone ever bought a gun online? I am looking for a turkey gun and I see some good deals online but I don't know about shipping a gun thru the mail. If you have bought a gun online any suggestions.

Any suggestions on how to keep a dog off the screen door.

Thought you were gonna look into a Llew.

I am in the process of changing from Nutro Natural to Diamond Natural anyone have an idea about the Diamond or heard anything about it?

gripper39

My dog had a good first season finally locking up on point during the end of the season. Now I realize that I need to get a beeper, will the beeper affect him or distract while on point or will i have to condition for the beep?

gripper39

My Llewellin made me look like I knew what I was doing with the training. I have never owned a gundog before so I trained my yr old Llew the basics and he did the rest. I love my Llew and I am hooked on hunting with a dog. My Llew is also a great companion, in my opinion a Llew can hunt anything.

gripper39

I started my pup out with pen raised birds but after a great season with a lot of wild bird encounters should I go back to pen raised birds to tune up during the offseason? Or what do you more experienced choose to do to keep the dogs tuned up and on point during the offseason?

gripper39

about 20 inches of snow fell last nite and the wind gusts were clocked around 60. I got a drift in my backyard as tall as my fence. Ill take the day off though, I can't go anywhere.

gripper39

I love my Llewellin I use mine to hunt pheasants and quail, I hear they are great grouse and woodcock dogs.

gripper39

It's okay for my dog to jump up on me we are tight like that and it is on command. I do not let him jump on anyone else though I think that is rude.

gripper39

I saw one on a trailcam pic I think it was in Kass county.

I was facing the same problem living in the Chicagoland area where you could get in trouble for lighting fireworks so I started by clapping my hands while pup was eating then moved up progressing from slapping shoes together then to slamming books together, the books kind of sound like a shotgun.

Got back from SD 2 weeks ago and I took my 8 month old pup and all was good. Although I did put out a disclaimer to others that I hunted with explaining that my pup was very green. I am no pro but it was good to see what the pup needs to work on and what the pups strong points are. Plus with the bir...

Just got back from hunting in SD and road hunting is very legal there. It was looked at as hunting on the way to hunting and it was not get out and shoot it was get out and hunt the ditch. It was an interesting experience you would see one bird cross the road and step in the ditch and twenty jump ou...

Couple months ago had my pup get a bone stuck around his lower jaw. Vet had to sedate and cut it off with a bone saw.

I have a 7mo old ES and I am training him to point want him to point but what is wrong with a dog being a flusher? This is my first gundog and when I was looking for a dog I saw that this breed is a pointer and a flusher. I just want to go out and see some birds with my dog. Will he turn into a poin...

I have a 7month old ES and I am trying to get him ready for the season so I bought some young quail to start off with. Now I have a few questions regarding how to place them. Should I put all of them out or should I put 1 out at a time? How do I put them to sleep? Ive heard of a few ways but Im not ...
