I've looked a the kennel heaters for dog houses on gun dog supply I'm wondering if I could run two of them and maintain close to 65 degrees maybe more or less. I'd love for the dogs to be able to get out of the cold after a hunt and warm up. Or when I stop at a hotel I could plug in the trailer and ...

Hey guys I recently bought a 6 hole trailer that I will be using all winter. I'm looking for heating options that I can use while the trailer is unhooked from my truck ideally I'd like to find a unit that would be mounted in the trailer so I can keep it warm while I'm out hunting with a couple dogs....

love this picture!!!! love your roof aswell did you find materials similar to cost of the tarp types? Be sure to figure in cost of a top if you have a dog like my Holly. I put her in the kennel on the right, forgetting that she can jump tall buildings with a single bound, while I took her pups in th...

Im looking to build or buy 2-4 more kennels at my place. ive been looking around trying to find kennels at a reasonable price but it seems like everything is the same price everywhere i go. any suggestion where i could find kennels for slightly cheaper would be great thanks

Not sure if these will help or hurt you looking at pictures always makes it seem like hunting season is way to far away!

hey tail cracker it can be hit or miss depending on where you go i am an outfitter and guide bird hunts in montana. one of the benefits of hunting with an outfitter is that i have leases that i know well and can get you on birds. other options are public land which can be really good or really bad. ...

I wonder if anyone has ever told you guys this? you guys sound a lot like an echo?

One of my favorite sayings of all time is "once their mind is made up, don't confuse them with the facts"

drich2244

I live and hunt in montana make no mistake about it English Pointers can handle the cold just fine! now granted you get em really wet they will get cold quicker than the rest i just carry a towel with me dry em off.

drich2244

lol so question would you put it on the paperwork?

drich2244

you should also look at block management ive found lots of birds on some block management on the high line from havre to sidney its prolly out of your way but there some great hunting up there

drich2244

thanks guys i sure appreciate all the info i cant help but feel like this littermate syndrome is more on owners than it is the dogs not saying that it doesnt happen to people who spend enough time training and working their pups but id be willing to bet it happens more often when people dont spend e...

drich2244

drich2244

are you making a general statement or telling me that my dogs are scarred of fireworks?

drich2244

thats good advice i wouldnt call them family dogs, example being in the house dealing with lots of handlers/people although i like my dogs well socialized as i guide lots of hunters every year and i train my dogs to be respectful of all dogs we come in contact with. My intention is not for them to b...

drich2244

i like hand signals i run pointers so when i want them to stop its always woah but when they are within 15 20 feet i snap my fingers and they sit down i dont have to worry about anyone else telling my dog to sit or any of that

drich2244

I think youd be hard pressed to find a better feed for your dog i run my hunting dogs on sport all through hunting season and theyve never quit because of lack of energy or weight

drich2244

ive always thought if a guy could afford it build a small shed and have kennels on 3 sides then have counters on the inside on all 3 sides with chainlike running underneath then have the chain link high enough on the bottom you can slide dishes underneath for easy feeding then make your dog doors so...
