Nice video

I don't worry about it, because if you swallow a lead pellet, it will pass thru you system fairly fast(unlike a gizzard in a bird where it stays a long time until it's totally ground up). If you are really worried about it, switch to shooting steel shot.

I was mainly a pheasant hunter. I started out with Springers. I had 3 of them. I decided I wanted to switch to a pointing breed, so in 1988 I got into Brittanys. Since then I have owned 13 Britts and had 25 litters of pups. My Britts have all now passed on and I can no longer walk more than 200 yard...

Welcome to the forum. I think you will enjoy hunting with a Brittany. What are you mainly going to hunt?

Happy New Year!

Looks like a good hunt--thanks for posting it

Finally, nothing promotes excitement in a water dog like live birds. I used to use clip wing pigeons. Throw them in a pond and let the pup chase. The clip wing will swim with it's wings. The shorter you make the throw, the harder entry you will build. Remember though, that for any confident entry, ...

This will give you a couple online breeder sites. You might look online at Gun Dog Breeders( this is where I used to advertise) They list a lot of breeders. You can narrow your search by breed & state. It will also list who has pups on the ground at this time. Since you aren't in a big hurry, I'd lo...

Congrates on the successful hunt.

I hope you and the dog have many more

It's pretty simple how I fix my pheasant. All I cook are the pheasant breast. I fillet the meat off the breast and soak it in salt water to draw the blood out of the meat. I then drain it and put the meat into a zip lock bag that is filled with Kraft Zesty Italian Dressing. I let it marinate over ni...

Start your recall AT HOME with the check cord on him along with the e-collar. Call him, start reeling him in useing the stimulation to get him started(if he is moving towards you don't use the stimulation). Once he gets the idea at home, then go to another location after he got it there, go to anoth...

You said in your post you had an e-collar on him. You need to start reinforcing the come command with your e-collar. Start this at home. I'm assuming you taught him to come at home by having him on a check cord and reeling him in when you called come. Instead of useing the check cord, use the ecolla...

You might want to look on u tube for smallmunster(all one word) videos. He hunts a lot and has a lot of hunting videos on utube of the 2021 iowa season. He usually hunts at least 3 or4 small munsterlanders at a time. His dogs hold point forever until he gets there, but go when the birds get up. It s...

I'm probably more concerned about my dogs staying warm on the long drives to and from December hunts than during the actual hunts. As Garrison stated, short-haired dogs seem fine as long as they're moving, but I take a few extra steps to make sure mine are comfortable while being transported. I use...

You said you have a garmin 550+ but the dog is too small to wear it. One of my pup buyers bought a female from me & she only is 28#--He runs her with a GPS unit attached to a harness--He says it works real well and he likes it better on the harness then around her neck. He doesn't use the shock part...

Pheasant in SD. Sharptail & chickens in NE. The guy gets around, has good dogs, and makes good videos. Thanks for p...

PPP 30/20 is an all life stage food--it will work for dogs of all ages. I've used it for dogs of all ages and never had a problem. Edit--I looked up the nutrtion on PPP30/20 sport chicken & rice and the nutrition on PPP 30/20 PUPPY chicken & rice --both labels say 1.1% calcium.

I was bored with no hunting season open, so I headed to Ontario to hunt walleye. I wore my Pheasants Forever hat to feel like I was hunting. I had a good hunt and ate walleye every night. I even caught a couple of big throw back walleye. I also bagged my limit of mosquitos!! :D :D This trip should g...

Nice looking pup & welcome to the forum.

With a young dog you might want to hunt alone or with one gun if you take someone along. As garrison stated only birds handled properly should be shot. I believe the more birds shot over the dog the better and the more you take her out the more progress will be made. If you have fun the dog will to...

Unless you post the pedigrees or post the titles on the dogs, people can't help you out. In American Field pedigrees you look for ch(field title) in front of the dog's names. In AKC pedigrees you look for FC or AFC titles(field trial dog title)in front of the dog's names or JH, SH, or MH (hunt test ...
