Just got started seriously hunting coyotes with an ICOTEC GC300. Great E-caller I just do not know the best times to hunt, and what vocalizations to use to start calling sequence.

If anyone has advice I would love to hear it!

What is the best way to teach a dog to back/honor?

ben33127

Just came in from running my pointer and all I can say is I can not believe some people do not LOVE THIS SPORT! I did not get started until 2 or 3 years ago while in college, but I could not stop laughing and just being excited this morning. When you see a dog you have been working with start gettin...

Does anyone have a contact for any birds near Birmingham, AL?

ben33127

Thanks, I think coming in at a different angle will help. I also will steady her up with whoa a bit. Don, that makes perfect sense not making it seem like your racing your dog to the bird. Thanks for all of the help!

ben33127

So i was out this morning working my dog and she would point and hold until l started walking in to kick the bird up. When I would get roughly 15 yards from her walking in she would get really twitchy want to start creeping in on the bird and eventually bump the bird (sometimes flew, sometimes start...

Wow, very small world. We leased deer land by Ms Pats house on 22 in Hatchichube AL. I have eaten at the city grill a ton, I suppose you know Donnie as well?

I am in Birmingham. I have heard of Union Springs, I think they have a statue of Elhew Snake Foot in the town center, if the stories are true.

Anyone on this forum from Alabama? I am just really getting into bird hunting seriously and have found myself in the wrong part of the country I guess :D . I guess an addiction is an addiction no matter your location. Also, does anyone have any contacts for leasing land that could possibly be used t...

Wow, that is thinking outside the Johnny House box for sure!

How many do you think one that size can comfortably hold? 5-8?

ben33127

Does anyone have any suggestions on Johnny Houses? I have looked at the Phantom Plans, and the wildlife plans as well. Not sure which works best? Suggestions would be great, thanks!

ben33127

Thanks for the advice guys!

Does anyone have any tricks, or advice for keeping birds from dying in high heat?

I have the big factory.made brooder with 6 levels, themostat controlled. I don't use it. I get better results with a sheet of plywood cut into four 2 x 4 panels. Then use 1" furring strips on the corners to make a 4' x 4' box then make a seperate frame out of furring strips that will fit into the b...

ben33127

Quail, hopefully!

ben33127

So I am putting plans together for my first brooder, all is going well EXCEPT the floor. My questions is, should my floor be solid, solid with cedar shavings, or quarter inch wire? Thanks for the help?

ben33127

Wow, Thank you so much!

I am trying to teach my female pointer WHOA, I was able to teach my male fairly easy, but with that being said he is a totally diff. dog than my female. She is hard headed sometimes. My methodology is yard work with a half hitch. I will walk a bit then say whoa and tug on the lead. She sometime will...

ben33127

People have their preferences there is no doubt.However, I purchased my first pointer in college and could not afford an expensive collar, therefore I opted for the sd 400. I no longer use the collar for my gun dogs, but still use it on my fiances mix. That was 4 years ago, and the collar still hold...

My eldest pointer "Patton" is losing some of his hair around his eye, only about 2 centimeters in circumference. Can not tell distinctively, but it looks like there may be some swelling! Has anyone encountered this problem before? Thanks for all of the help!!

ben33127

I will pray for a full recovery!

ben33127

Has anyone ever used their ep on a dove shoot to retrieve?

ben33127

so would it be better to put one nipple on two seperate pieces of pvc or just put two nipples on one piece of pvc.....my only concern with one piece (two nipples) is will they kill one another by trampleing to get to the one water system?

ben33127

http://www.farmtek.com/farm/supplies/prod1;ft1_poultry_equipment-ft1_poultry_watering_systems-ft1_hoses_nipples;pgwc1030.html I will be using this nipple system in my Johnny house for water. What height should I set it, and will they start drinking out of it by nature, or do I have to teach them in ...

ben33127

Thanks for posting. I am sitting behind my desk dreaming I was there!

ben33127

I personally have not heard the fox 40, I have one of the Ray Gonia, and the Acme Thunderer. I can honestly say the Acme is A LOT louder than the Gonia IMO!!

ben33127

This is horrible, we need more Marcus Luttrell's in the world.

I can say with out one doubt they are rough around the edges, however when I was in college I worked at a "bleep" Sporting Goods and sold thousands of those guns and I can honestly say we never had one returned (Condor O/U). NOT ONE! DSG had a special make-up in the condor that they had ejectors at ...

Being a PROUD Texan I cannot speak to the "paradise" that is So. LA. However, I can say that the people there are some of the best in the country, save for most Texans that is. The cajun way of life is one of food, fellowship, and... food! The food in So LA will not dissapoint and when everyone els...
