Sorry for not including that, I like in a town in northern California called McCloud. It's right next door to the beautiful Mount Shasta.

I want to go ahead and give Denise a thank you ten times over. There are some really incredible people out there. It is really inspiring.

Siskiyou Blues

Hey guys, I know this is a shameless post, but I have been working hard with my pup and about to start gun intro. Times have been real tight and I have absolutely no funds to work with right now. I was wondering if someone could lend me a starter pistol to get the pup started. Here's to being hopefu...

If you wear a large I am selling my Woolrich Field coat for 60 bucks. It is almost brand new but it is redundant in my closet.

Siskiyou Blues

At this point I would rather not provide any names. I'm giving this guy the benefit of the doubt until it is proved other wise. This post may seem premature to some but this person knew from Tuesday August 16 that I was going to buy. I sent him the money the afternoon of Tuesday August 16 which he ...

I was a member of a board that had a very strict no talking about bad deals policy. They didn't want to deal with it. Then I had a couple hundred dollars stolen from me and risked being banned if I tried to use the forums for help. If this board is like that remind me to stay far away from the class...

Siskiyou Blues

On point!

Siskiyou Blues

I've heard hit and miss on the stoegers. I you can spend a little more I have heard the cz shotguns have much better consistency.

Siskiyou Blues

I used to buy scratch off and always lose. :( And thanks! We're just having fun. One thing I was worried about her was getting her used to the shotgun. She's been a very shy soft pup. I still think I have to be careful but I am not as worried. I am going to start introducing a cap gun with the bird ...

Siskiyou Blues

I just recently started working my pups on birds with consistency. I got my hands on a launcher, with two more on the way, then I built a coop and managed to get 25 pigeons that all home like they've lived here there whole life (still don't really know how that worked out). I started working my pup ...

Siskiyou Blues

Every single one so far hah. Keep posting pictures!
Mine is black. Sometimes I think about spray painting her white.

Siskiyou Blues

Thanks for that link. I'm in the same boat, just getting my hands on a couple launchers (one at a time...$$$=

) and I have a loft of pigeons so I am really hoping to kick things up a notch. Any good information helps.

Siskiyou Blues

If I'm having fun and everybody comes home that is a success in my books.

Siskiyou Blues

I'm shocked. Most of the 25 pigeons I got have flown back to the coop after they have been launched. They've never used the trap door before and figured it out eventually. They are just a bunch of barn pigeons from a guy an hour south of me and have only been here about 2 weeks. Its'a-ok by me thoug...

Siskiyou Blues

Here's my brooding box with some bobwhite hatchlings,

Siskiyou Blues

Oh well already started building the bucket frame. If it doesn't work out it's nice and portable. This way I can pull them out individually to clean them. It'll go all the way up the one side.

Siskiyou Blues

Transplanted!

Now I just have to build the 5 gallon bucket/nesting box frame and then I am done for now!

Siskiyou Blues

Building my second structure! Should have it done and the pigeons moved in tomorrow. I'm going to be using 5 gallon buckets as nesting boxes and I am going to build an aviary on the side for feeding with a landing board and a one one door. Thanks for looking! http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6012/6000...

Siskiyou Blues

Either is good. I feed the Diamond HE and the dogs do well on it but I have fed Sportsmix and it is a good feed also. Remember the best feed you can buy is one that is readily available, one you can afford, and one your dog likes and does well on. And then when you find it stick with it and stop lo...

Siskiyou Blues

I don't like the show, looks to me like a couple predators picking on our elderly - who's kids abandoned them and their familys history, story and lifestyle is about to go away forever. they offer them a pittance, then clean up the item and use their show to sell it more than they'd ever be able to...

Siskiyou Blues

A bb gun has been the reccomended Barking cure for kennel barkers in a couple older training books I've read. There are modern solutions now, but the concept hasn't changed much. I have a good hunch way more dogs have been screwed up with E collars then with BB guns. Just because it's not what you d...

Siskiyou Blues

Cool that you got it done! If you're looking at a permanent structure then I'd suggest ditching the chicken wire. It is not predator proof at all. A coon can go through it very easily. If you don't have much in the way of predators - then it looks great! thanks! Not much in my life is too permanent...

Siskiyou Blues

Oh she's not mine! haha I have a few years before we even start talking about that.
But when I see her again I'll make sure to keep some EP pup pictures in my wallet to try to sell her

oh her dad would be mad!

Siskiyou Blues

we managed to avoid this problem.

this was right after they met at the park.

Siskiyou Blues

I hear you on that. Best to cut out as many variables as you can. Also having two separate "flocks" means if something happens to one I am not bird-less. All good help. Exactly had a big fat Coon get in the Pigeon/Quail/Chuckar/Phez/Duck pen once and he had a very nice feast and fun killing all but...

might want to paint that pvc, white pvc is not UV resistant. It will become brittle in a year or so at most. Will definitely do that thanks. It is a work in progress. Things have been pretty financially tight this past year. This was put together with what I could get my hands on for free, I'm tryi...

Siskiyou Blues

First, don't put quail and Pigeons in the same Pen ! the'll spread disease to each other or kill each other ! Build a Coop for the Pigeons, the quail will be OK in the pen you Built depending on the # of Quail you intend to have in there other wise build it bigger or build them a Johny house. Joe T...

Siskiyou Blues

what's the general rules about having a pen in an area the dog can see. There's a fence in between but it is still a couple feet away. Will she get too used to birds being around to want to hunt them when we are not at home? Meanwhile I have never seen her so fired up about anything in her lil life.

Siskiyou Blues

http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5280/5894901893_0cbfc315f0_z.jpg Just wanted to share, I'm almost done with the "cubby" rack to give them some proper shade and shelter, but they have some room to spread their wings. PVC is my favorite. I am picking up a couple quail this upcoming week to add to the ...

Siskiyou Blues

Wolves are bad news if you run hounds. They've scared more then a few out of the game.

Siskiyou Blues

I know your'e happy with what you got but I just wanted to join the choir and chime in on how much I love my 4d tacoma.

Siskiyou Blues

Two of my favorite brands.

Don't let me down!

Siskiyou Blues

Why does that bluetick coonhound have a docked tail?

Siskiyou Blues

Saw that, but I personally like the garmin more. I already have a tt set up so don't need an e collar. The lack of anything more then the most absolute bare bones in dog tracking is a real turn off for me. I am glad to see someone else giving it a go though.

Siskiyou Blues

Yeah this is a tough decision for sure! There are good reasons to go either way, so my vote is just to follow your heart. I think you really want the newer version, so go for it! :D Hah thanks! That is what I am going to do. And while I am waiting for it to be released I'll keep my eyes open for an...

Siskiyou Blues

oh you were supposed to say get the fanciest newest model possible, that way you won't regret it later ;) think about how cool my friends will think I am.... :lol: But the realistic side part of me wants to get a 220 DC30 combo and save some money, have it now, and have something tried and true. It ...

Siskiyou Blues

Well I am torn, I've been spending some time saving up to get a garmin GPS tracker for my dogs. Obviously I want an astro. But here is my dilemma, Get the time tested 220 or wait for the new 320? I mean, I've been waiting for a bit, so another month or two isn't the end of the world. On the flip sid...

Siskiyou Blues

Can anyone recommended any seminars on the left coast? I am in northern CA and working with my first young pup.

Siskiyou Blues

Wanted to share a picture from today,
she's growing up well, we love our daily walk in the woods.

Siskiyou Blues

Welcome and nice pics. If your up near Hastings island they have some hunt tests and field.trials in the next few weeks. May also give you a chance to talk with some owners about pups and training them. Thanks! I'm 4 hours north of Hastings (unfortunately), seems like I'm far away from everything. ...

Siskiyou Blues

Just wanted to say Hello, Just got my first gun dog pup, a Gordon Setter, from Springset in OR. Although I have spent a lot of time with dogs this will be my first time training any gun dog, much less a pointer. Hopefully you all will be able to give me a hand. Also a bit of a photobug, nice to have...
