Sometimes it is the picture. I have pictures of dogs with there eyes bugging out but it is not the greatest angle. Same point different angle and the picture looks great but you really don't notice the eyes. Same thing with showing the intensity of the body, sometimes it comes out in the picture and...

For some reason I never take pictures on dove hunts. Monday the opener, my son, son in law and myself got 39. We lost our limit so we stopped. We hunted one spot next to rice fields that are not drained. For whatever reason it is very difficult for dogs to find birds in or next wet rice field, they ...

this is all very interesting, how can there be so many interpretations of the AKC rule book. I have now had my first two dog dogs go through puppy trials and Derbys, all AKC. All of these have been with different judges. All of the judges have told me different things or at least eluded to different...

the only chance we have is to be devious and sneaky, speak illogically but make everyone think it is logical. Problem is that would make us just like the left we don't want to be like. Did that make sense?

when buying your lewis boots don't just measure the front foot and buy all four same size. I ended up having to buy more to fit the back feet of one of mine. She has two different sizes. I found out this is not uncommon.

i have been using the Cabelas dry plus chaps and i also have Filson. i rarely use the filson, they are just too hot. The dry plus are light and for the most part waterproof. i can wear mine in our mild climate, Depending on the climate any chap is going to be warm.

I am not a veterinarian. There is a HUGE difference between a dog testing positive for Lyme disease and a dog actually having the disease. Does your dog have any symptoms? Just testing positive may or may not mean something. apparently There are a lot of false positives with this testing. If no sym...

I'm kind of leaning toward the 20 oz plastic bottle idea. That way I can go "too heavy" by adding water for the first flight and adjust accordingly rather than "Gee, that didn't work." as I watch the doomed pigeon fly off into the sunset. i will have to look at the size of the bottle but i am sure ...

Would I have to get around the fact of shooting pheasants in pheasant country if I were participating in a field trial or hunt test? Do you know how they "get around the law"? yes but most of the time that is on private property. i thought that might be the answer, plus you are probably have leg ba...

I have DT's about 10 years now. I have had to clean the antenna terminal and change the batteries but for the most part pretty good. I don't have young dogs coming up all the time so they may get used heavily for awhile and then sit around until tune up time comes around. Equipment does not like to ...

how do you get around fact you are shooting chukar in chukar country. Wouldn't the game warden have field day with this?

I realized it was 9 years old when I posted my reply. It seemed to be a valid thread for my question. If I had of started a new thread I'm sure I would have gotten some "use the Search engine" responses. Now as to my question about using CDs as the "card", has anyone tried it? this is a great respo...

I use a small plastic pepsi bottle in lieu of card. you can add weight to it by simply putting some water in it. if I want them to fly pretty far maybe no water at all or if I want them to only go a very short distance then half a bottle of water. bottles are all different sizes and pigeons have dif...

I use Winchester supreme for my duck hunting and it has done a very good job.

Thanks for posting this. There products have always worked well for my dogs. They surely promote dog sports and spend a lot of money testing their products. Hard to beat that.

Very few breedings of AA dogs produce pups that will run in AA events. Hence the reason breeders are often selling trained dogs later because they cannot get that true AA dog. However most of the pups will have drive to find birds. That is not to say that breedings other than AA or field trial breed...

You can also attach an avery to your 4' x 4' and it will help.

Yes that is too many in that size coop if you are going to let them breed. I have the same size coop and 12 seems about right. I have had as many as 24 due to birds being given to me and the same thing happened. I just had a pair of babies in the coop with 10 and while they got chased away and pecke...

fish as much as possible.
Train dogs as much as possible.
Get caught up on work so that it does not affect hunting season.
I also have to start going through equipment and updating. Stuff just doesn't last forever.

P&PGunsmith

just got an email from a game warden friend of mine. Their are no restrictions on any of the collars discussed as far as fish & wildlife are concerned.

P&PGunsmith

I hunt with a game warden and he has never mentioned any of those things being illegal. In fact he uses all of the electronics we are talking about. I am checking with him again though to make sure something hasn't changed.

So I am in the market for a new semi-auto shotgun and starting to do some research. I will be going from a 12 to a 20 because im tired of shredding birds. I mainly hunt pheasants but will be going after Huns and quail this year. I am looking to keep my price in the $500-700 range. I am looking at t...

Thats great. My first try with Anni went like this. She chased the horses, then she wouldnt listen and got into the bird field where she pointed but long distance and no way for me to get close.
