Gun Dog Forum

have a group of hunters that have quail quail leases in Spur and Turkey Texas. They are looking for someone to bring their dogs out and guide them on their ranches Friday through Sunday of this week. They will pay you $500 per day and provide lodging and meals. Guide will need to provide a machine a...

Is that the K-9 restart? So, that is not for energy but recovery correct?

When running field trials there are times your dog may have to run multiple times in one day. I am curious what people prefer as an energy suppliment for your dog between braces?

We had a great hunt in Central KS. All walk in. Three guys and three dogs. four days of hunting and killed 20 Roosters, 13 quail, and three prairie Chickens... Still not the best I have ever seen but WAY up from years past!

I have in lcs free spirit remote with an lcs backing dog. What are the steps to pairing the two together?

Last year in n.w. kansas I got into pockets of birds....on private land that I asked permission on. I am headed to central just based off of the reports the department of wildlife issued.....

We all know the numbers are down historically speaking but I would love to hear from anyone that has been out. Right now I am planinng on heading to central Kansas around Hays. I would love to hear about how anyone has done that has already been out. Just to head this off before it starts, there alw...

Central Kansas came back with a good report from my buddy. They got into both pheasant and quail on public ground and said it was a fun hunt with enough birds to keep the days exciting. I am excited to head that way next weekend!

Good luck this weekend to all going! Hope to hear some good feedback!

Sorry about that.... Well, I would love to hear about it this weekend if anyone goes. Found a cheap house to rent in Alden that I am considering. Just with the low bird numbers I hate to be tied down to just one area. Especially when I have not hunted that specific area before. Good luck to anyone h...

Anyone have any luck this past weekend?

We all know the numbers are down historically speaking but I would love to hear from anyone that goes out opening weekend. Right now I am planinng on heading to central Kansas around Hays based off of what some buddies have told me while working in the area this spring and summer. Good luck to anyon...

Talked to a buddy of mine this morning said off of his combine he was seeing at least two different sizes of babies and somtimes three. Thinks there was a double hatch based off of that. Says it is still down overall but big increase from last year. This was in Central KS....

I just moved to Fort Worth and I am looking for hunting leases. Willing to lease individual pieces for dove, duck, quail and deer or ideally find it all in one. Does anyone know where I should look to find one or do you know any available leases?

I have two puppies in Montana I am trying to get to Texas. Does anyone have any recommendations for who I could speak to either private or commercial to have them transported down? Any help is greatly appreciated.

Had one covey rise of a nice 20-30 quail. The rest were pheasants. Found most of my birds in the uncut crp little draws that were in the middle of winter wheat fields. All of it was private land that we had to ask permission on. Public did not produce well.

FYI I had a good hunt the last day in the NORTON area

For a guy who has not been to Kansas in 6 years and has two days to hunt. I'll walk and scout as much as I can but a general area is appreciated..... Deets, If you ever find yourself in the position to do a Colorado Elk hunt let me know I'll be glad to return that favor of a general area to go. As f...

Great advice Deets! I am all in one way or another I am headed out. I can't help but think that with plenty of walking and good dog work I should be able to hopefully find some pockets of birds. I am going to be coming across the state line above the pan handle of Oklahoma. From there I will ride th...

Thanks Duckn... Man oh man doesn't sound great. I hope I am able to find a pocket or two.....

Driving to Kansas to hunt WMA Thanksgiving. Anyone been out this year yet? To give me an idea of the hunting? I have read North and North West has the best projections from the state.... Will just be riding hitting public. Coming up from Texas and then going to hunt through the state....

Thanks all of the feedback! I have gone out and purchased a mister to install in the kennels that will discharge an all nautural continuos mist throughout the night. It is called a Mosquito Sentry. If this works I will let you know. It was about 80.00 at Home Depot and the solution is another 20.00....

I am located in central Florida and this time of year we start to see SWARMS at night and evening of the little pests. I have outdoor kennels and I am constantly trying solutions to keep my dogs comfortable. Has anyone had any success doing so? Are there certain plants/trees I can plant around my ke...

Thanks... we normally get some good ones!

I must be present with you at the time of harvesting the alligato...

Great feed back thank you to all. Yes, the website was a chore to get done and not cheap! I really do feel that this type of website is the best way to channel people to the sport. So even though it was expensive and time consuming I think it will be worth the investment. It was a choir to get all o...

Thanks Don.... Yes, we did as a region we raised the funds to have a private source, (link on bottom of home page) build it.

Hello, I wanted to let anyone who is interested in bird dog hunting there is a great place to run your dog year around in Central Florida. There is an organization called National Shoot To Retrieve that is geared towards pointing breeds. We are getting ready to start our puppy trials which are just ...

Hello fello hunters and field trialers. The Florida region had our new website built this last year and i would love to hear your feedback on what you think. Is it easy to understand? How do you think it looks? Would it peak your interest to get involved? Look forward to your feedback! http://www.ns...

I condition my dogs a few different ways in the off season. I have roading bars built for my four wheeler that I run the dogs on harness. Also, I will use a tread mill for bad weather days. Lastly, I will do as much swimming with them as I can. Now I am running field trials and I am looking for an h...
