Gun Dog Forum

Sounds like you have good plan. I am also a northern Wisconsin grouse hunter. My only suggestion would be is to buy a gps collar the piece of mind it gives makes for a great hunting experience.

The dog was found two miles north of my cabin this morning by a turkey hunter. He was tired and hungry but no worse for the wear. Thanks to anyone who saw this and looked.

Was supposed to say Silvernale Rd

Thanks for answering my question Deke

So I've made the decision to switch to all steel for my upland hunting. What is everybody having success with we're are you buying your shot and what chokes do you like .

I have gone and watched a few trials now and they look fun. I decided last spring that is something I would like to try. The only thing holding me back is the dog I currently have a six yr old pointer who I think would do ok at this format but he is not registered. I have tried unsuccessfully severa...

Not sure what you consider cheap, but a 10x10x4 inch area is about a yard of concrete or roughly 55 bags at 2 bucks a bag. A lot of work mixing that much but for less than 150 bucks you can poor a pretty decent run

I would like to run my cabin with a solar panel. I currently run off a 1500 watt Honda generator and would like to use that for back up and to charge my battery station. At max usage I would probably have 3 60 watt bulbs an older radio receiver and a 40 inch newer flat screen tv. Any suggestions on ...

he is a kennel dog not sure what the bold is all about either doesn't show up like that on my screan

I am thinking about buying an 8 month old pointer pup. He has pretty much been socialized introduced to a few birds (bumps and chases) seems to know kennel and has a little bit of recall. The owner doesn't believe in putting any pressure on the dog in the first year. I went and looked at the dog in ...

Would you want the same range out of your hunting dog as you would out of your trial dog and why? Not trying to start the old hunting dog v trial dog fight just trying to decide what I should be looking for in my grouse dog.

once agian thanks everbody for the suggestions. Maybe you folks could give me a couple more. after thinking about my dogs range i guess he has never not come back and the little s.o.b can really find birds and after a long summer of really trying to get him steady he seems to get it. I guess i would...

thanks for the responses i almost put in the op please help ray g :) to answer bonasa yes i have pretty much just let him run he will check in every 15-20 min or so but it is those 30 min plus jaunts with no contact that make me a bit nervous also the grouse hold pretty well now but as the season go...

This is all good but he spends to much time out of bell and beeper range. is there any way to shorten him up with out affecting his dr...

Grange are there any grouse trials in augusta this fall. I have a cabin in Ladysmith and would like to come down and check it out

yep just let them fly around i know nothing about this so any detailed advice would be helpful

Flew my my homers for the first time tonight. released them next to the coop and they all came back. any suggestions on how far my next flight distance should be. I train about 10 miles from my loft and would like them to fly back from there eventually

casey, deer feeder or deer if deer please tell more that sounds awesome

i have been watching your posts about this dog pretty close and am really excited for you. I would not worry at all my ep started out about the same way as yours got cold fast and did'nt have a lot of drive as a one year old. Just finished his fifth season on grouse lastwknd of january in northern W...

I got my EP in a simlar situation and in no way am I an expert but this is what worked for me. I used a pro trainer about once a month for about a year. It was kind of a piano lesson type deal i would go and show him the progress we were making and he would either tell me i needed to keep working on...

Thanks for not crushing me on the spelling of potato

Thanks for the welcome folks and not poking fun of my spelling of potato ( i was a Dan Quail fan as a kid) Winger is five years old I will try to post a pic of him today i should have time sitting home with sick kids.

I am a male 37 year old carpenter. I have been hunting since I was old enough to carry a gun. I currently have a an english pointer couch potatoe. I thought theses dogs were supposed to be high strung. We mostly hunt grouse in Northern Wisconsin.
