Would like to plan a hunt this September. I would like to be able to hunt a variety of kinds of birds. Can anyone get me started on what states have early bird seasons on a variety of birds and a lot of public access?

I will be picking up a new pup in March. I currently have a 4 year old gsp. Will my older dog influence my pup at all. My gsp is a little high energy but a very good dog.

I was looking at one there. I think it was $80. Have you used it?

I would like to put a fan on my dogs crate. Any suggestions?

My gsp pointed a woodcock Saturday morning while we were out looking for sheds. That was the first wild bird he has pointed. I was pretty pumped.

If I use Frontline spray before I hunt along with my dogs monthly treatment am I going to hurt anything?

I have started my pheasants on a traditional gallon waterer. Should there be any problems if I switch to a nipple system when I move them outside in a couple of weeks?

Last week at pheasant fest,we stopped by the garmin booth and they have a new camera. It was called the virb. Has anyone looked into this video camera? It looked pretty good and they also had a dog mount from a different company. I am pretty interested in getting a camera and want to know all of my ...

Pheasant fest is in Milwaukee in a couple of weeks, is anyone going? I was going try to make it down is it worth going?

I live in Manitowoc. I am loving every minute with my 21 month old gsp. we are definitely learning together.

Adamdirk

he only does it when I close the door then he lays down and is fine. when I open it later to let him out he doesn't make a peep.

Adamdirk

I should have clarified that this behavior is in his crate. that's the only place he growls.

Adamdirk

i have always ignored it. i shut the door like always and walk away. i dont think he likes the springs in the door.

Adamdirk

my wife's little white fluffy dog is usually very good, but when you put him in his it's a different story. he will growl and jump at the door. any advice on how to stop this ?

Adamdirk

I started using the grain free diamond natural,and I am happy with it.

I took the NA test in may with the Wisconsin river chapter. I was extremely nervous because I am new to all of this, but had a great experience. what chapter are you a member with?

Adamdirk

wow what a crazy week! our daughter,Harper, was born on Tuesday march 5th . she was 8.2 lbs and 20 in. mom and baby are doing great. the transition home went about as well as it could have. my year old gsp has some energy so we keep an eye on him constantly, but he loves the addition.

Adamdirk

if I would switch to the Ivomec, what can I use to prevent tapeworms?

Adamdirk

we have just heard there might be an adjustment phase, but I hope not.

Adamdirk

within the next couple of weeks my wife and I will be bringing home our first child, a daughter. we were already told about bringing home a blanket she has been wrapped in and letting the dogs smell it and get used to it. is there anything else we can do?

Adamdirk

I went out grouse hunting today with my pup and two friends. we were near mountain and flushed one grouse. I am new to all of this and really enjoy it especially watching the dog work. any help for a beginner like me?

Adamdirk

I just made the switch from Pro plan performance to diamond naturals extreme athlete. my pup has having loose stool with ppp,but seems to be doing well so far.

Adamdirk

Adamdirk

does anyone have plans/blueprints for a coop? or know where I should get some

Adamdirk

when my dog gets to a bird for a retrieve he plucks the feathers before he picks it up to bring back. I haven't forced fetched him yet, will that be covered in a program I follow?

Adamdirk

does anyone have the smartfetch program that they would want to sell?

Adamdirk

The inlaws are asking for ideas on a christmas gift. i was thinking a training dvd would be a good idea. i want to force fetch my 10 month old gsp, so which is the best option?

Adamdirk

He is 9 months old

Adamdirk

thanks guys, the land we were hunting that day is public land. it doesn't produce many birds but it is beautiful.

Adamdirk

I brought my 6 month old pup to a trainer and he is coming along great. I was starting to think I brought him there to early from all the posts I was reading.

Adamdirk

this morning one came back and is hanging around the coop, no signs of the others

Adamdirk

I don't know how young they were (maybe 12 tO 14 weeks?) but I was assured they were never flown.
