There are some menial discounted sales- but I have come to " pay it forward" . I have had elec. collars that I have upgraded over the years and more dogs = different collars etc. I have passed the old ones on to younger guys just starting out in the hope that they keep that idea going. Some I know h...

started this year- glucosamine w/MSG- the younger dog also gets it now- myself- ester-C - might be in my pea brain but I think it has taken off the daily edge of joint pains.

Same here- sore spots no matter how I fitted them- I have had some beaver cut samplings go into ones chest last year- some EMT GEL and all was well.
Stuffs going to happen and I try my best to be prepared- but the rubbing and then the dogs sitting around all night licking was too much for me.

I have thought about this over the years and had a dog I wish I would of- but for my life style my dog use doesn't end when hunting season ends. Late winter both my boys transition to becoming cross country sking Mt climbing boys- spring time thru summer they are either working out or back packing f...

I have had seven Golden Retrievers all top dogs some SH some MH, but all top dogs in the field for both upland game and waterfowl. They all have been house dogs.....I generally disagree with this myth. But, I believe some dogs bred for upland, unless exercised aggressively do better when kept outsi...

2 very good hunting/house dogs here. They spend 10 hours a day in nice kennel runs- When I get home from work they are with me the rest of the time.

This is one of the sites that is fairly user friendly- especially if I can use it. At the bottom where it says options it has upload attachment and then you browse your files to upload.

It certainly was a great start in Idaho- Hunted the first thru today (Sunday) 200 miles apart. Dogs were as good as they have ever been. For some reason I shot well - 9 shots 8 birds. Pulled the trailer around - 2 dogs and myself. First night thinly sliced pan fried birds and corn on the cob- second...

I run my dogs on rocky roads pre season- I have one dog that is a prancer- very light on his feet and never a paw problem - I have one that is a plodder and strikes the ground hard- he is a problem- through out the season , at night , I will put either Vertimycen (sp) or Petro-Carbon on his feet and...

I have a cucumber in my garden right now that has more tack than you. No matter what I answer you'll have something to say that be it informed or not will matter little.

Sorry- I am seeing a better recovery for the next day- No not Red Bull- and never said anything to refer to anything like that.

Not looking at Stamina- looking at muscle recharge for the next day- certainly seeing a diff with the 8 yr old. They get their fat for stamina in their diet.

I recently just made Pumpkin cookies- with out the vanilla and cinnamon - 1 extra egg and put in 3 cups maltodextrin instead of the sugar. A month of road work I have seen a benefit.

I also have been carrying the same and just thought this would be a better deal.

Does anyone carry this with them in the emergency kit ? If so have you used it ?

Are you going to be able to easily see your Garmin with Polarization ? I know it's a pain on the fish finder screen.

I built a small kennel in my basement- luckily I was able to come to work early to make up time and take the hour round trip at lunch to let them out for a awhile.

Like anything else in life I get what I can afford- I have had some great dogs since college ( out in 1976) - paid as little as $75.00- 7 years ago I picked up one of the best I have ever had the honor to be around a , GWP for $200. Still going strong and the best upland dog I have ever hunted with....

Quills are actually hollow though cutting one does not help the release- it's that first small section at the end of the quill that is barbed - cutting the quill does not "deflate " the quill. You can make light bluegill bobbers out of the right quill. I have always used a Leatherman to remove the q...

I had always left them and no problem- after dealing with a lab that tore one 8 years ago- I have had them all removed since.

I went thru a back operation- so carrying items incorrectly take their toll. A good back though is a pleasure to have on and hike with. The WW is the one hunting vest I found that meets that bill. If it wasn't for that vest I am sure I wouldn't hunt chukars- I couldn't carry the water needed for the...

Both my dogs get the shot and at $15 a pop it is a cheap valium for my mind as far as giving me that peace of mind that it will possibly lessen the effect and give me the time to get him to a vet. I have not seen a reaction to the shot from the dogs- I have the shots done on a Sat morning so I can b...

there are no more 15 round fights- boxed GG until I decided getting hit in the head wasn't that enjoyable and getting into college on a boxing scholarship
wasn't an option-

UglyD

one of my boys is a "prancer" never has problems with his feet- the other is a "plodder" he is an exceptional hunter but his pads get beat up because of his gait and how his feet hit the ground.

UglyD

have 2 PudelP's and a small Shih Tzu ( that is not a foo foo dog- back packs with the best of them) in the house- maybe it's because the PP's are 2 and 6 that they age diff makes it work out- but couldn't be more pleased with the set up.

UglyD

ALWAYS, ALWAYS, ALWAYS...carry enough water. That could be a small squirt bottle with a pint of warm water in it, in the winter or it could be a gallon or more in the summer. Know the signs and symptoms of heat stress, not just the textbook description... but what it actually looks like in real lif...

UglyD

I get both my boys vaccinated- Vet feels from what he has seen that it lessens the severity. I pay $15 @ shot- gives me a better feeling about getting them back to a vet.
$15 is worth it for that peace of mind be it warranted or not.

Boy that's a lot of ifs maybe and could have been if the solar lunar chart was correct-(0: I think most people would have played the odds and it wasn't putting the ball into the air at all.

Poor call plain and simple for so many reasons- I was a Seattle fan but after seeing the real reason for the penalty on Baldwin after scoring a TD and the punch thrown at the end of the game- classless period.

UglyD

I would say the most enjoyment of this season was watching my youngest dog come in to his own , my older dog tolerating his youth and myself learning that there is so much more than the kill and sharing that pulling a trailer across the Rocky Mountain West with my wife.

My theory- though just a theory- I have had both females and males over the years and some great females- I have 2 males now- night time inside dogs. No Problems- Females are females- seem to develop a tad faster then they the become females (J'k) but males dogs revolve around the 3 h's- Hunting- Hu...

My dog has been known to pint voles but not during a hunt- pads- tried everything- some dogs a boot is your only choice- Mushers secret isn't going to help that- same experience with the Tuff foot- brittle pads. I run then on gravel rods and it does seem to toughen the feet but the one dog will alwa...

I feed 4 to 5 cups of a 30/20 dry dog food. When we go to MT for a week and hunt from 1 to 6 hours a day the amount of grub is increased to 8 cups of dry and one can of wet. The can food is to motivate the eating. They have at least 12 hours to digest it. They still loose weight but not as much.......

Thank you for the reply Ray- both dogs are best buddies not even a small amount of aggressiveness in either dog- The older dog won't take anything from an outside dog- but always wants the encounter to be a friendly one from the start.

UglyD

Thank you- they know the pecking order very well- one of them even knows he's behind the the wifes little dog in order of rank.

UglyD

if one breeds his male do you see a difference in that dog afterwards- attitude- really basically sex drive- does he become what one may put as a "horny" dog ? Right now a have 2 males- 1 just turned 7 and one is turning 2. Neither have been neutered- don't have and never have had a male dog problem...

My two PP'S- 1 at 60# The other at 70# I feed 4 cups and 3 cups. If I fed 8 cups they would roll on the birds. They are very active- I run them daily in the off season- they run cross country skiing on the weekends in the winter and back pack in the summer.- You can lightly see their ribs. What are ...

Mushers secret works to a point- certainly not a cure all- I have to apply it multiple times . Boots are probably better. I have 1 dog that is not bothered at all and the other chews on the ice balls quite often. Just different feet. And yes I have to apply as we leave the truck or he will lick it o...

wait I am one of those Yanks that fought the metric system but isn't 10 degrees Celsius 50 degrees to me ?

Yes- lots of water- a little home made energy bars for them- When we stop and built a fire to cook something- they are still rolling in the snow enjoying it- I do put Mushers secret on their feet though.

Tough call- I have two both looked basically like that- one has a coarse coat and one had a wooly- here is the wooly as a pup

looks like it won't let me attach-- but the pup looked just like yours

had to put it in line or my system wouldn't let me post it

UglyD

Yes- I would certainly say though that a late blown call is more important than and early blown call.
