ultracarry… I think you are missing the point of the post. This post is just to be informed when dealing with dog breeders. Price of dog has nothing to do with this post, if asked $400 deposit for a $800 pup that would raise some caution on my part.... BTW it's been awhile since I bought a pup, but ...

nevermind

JONOV... Thanks for the input. I still believe $100 deposit is enough skin, anymore is just an advantage to the questionable seller. A deposit increase because of price of pup?... full price is paid on delivery, where is there more loss to the seller verse what the buyer loses, if seller doesn't liv...

nevermind

RE: Dog Breeders My thoughts, after an experience with a dog breeder. Here's my red flags. 1. $100 should be sufficient to hold a pup. Anymore why? 2. Seller says pup's are to be picked up before 8 weeks. 3. Seller says no pictures or seeing pup's until pick up date. 4. Seller try's to substitute a ...

Can you walk and chew bubble gum at the same time... break the gun while holding the butt stock between your elbow area and body, with your hand cupped over the breach to block the shells from ejecting to the ground. I do it all the time. Another way you might want to try (I haven't) is to remove th...

I'm not a e-collar guru or pro trainer...I picked up this is a young dog you have and first time training, anyway I would choose one according to the range I let my dog hunt. A dog that doesn't leave shotgun range wouldn't need a tracking collar... my dogtra 2500 with locate worked well and is a goo...

Purchased a Pathfinder and took it for a trial run. I like the simplicity of operation. The only draw back is I wear gloves and can't manipulate my iPhone screen without taking my glove off. Anyone found a way to use the phone without cutting the end of your trigger finger off the glove? Also was th...

gonehuntin' I'm giving your ff training a try on my Setter. I have him on the table and he's progressing. He hasn't dropped the dowel ever when given the hold command. The problem is getting him to release the dowel. I use "give" but he won't release unless I lift up his rear end and take the dowel...

I like using #6 shot. You could find Sharptails or Pheasants (2nd weekend Oct. opening) in some areas where there's Huns.
20ga is what I use.

Thanks for the info DeLo 727.

nevermind

Vman.... if you're still following this forum how about a update on the pathfinder now that you've used it through a hunting season? I'm curious about battery life and the process of switching from tracking to correction mode, does the Bluetooth device have a rechargeable battery, also durability of...

nevermind

you should move this tread to the training section... probably get help there.

Good looking guy... what's his weight?

nevermind

as I mentioned I had a red label... I shot quite a few shells through it and the gun still locked up tight when I sold it. I will say when opening the gun up the barrels would drop like you were tossing a anchor out of a boat in fact that's what I called it my "boat anchor"... also got tired of pack...

nevermind

I bought a red label 20ga new in the late 80's , but sold it a quite few years ago. I thought the gun was great until handling my beretta 687 (I have them in 20ga and 12ga). the red label was a reliable gun, but was a clunker compared to the beretta. you could probably find a used beretta silver pig...

nevermind

Said before... range of a dog is a personal preference... 100-300yd range I wouldn't consider a bootlicker. A dog that never leaves shotgun range would be my idea of a bootlicker. If you want to start a war on the net, call someone's dog a "bootlicker". It's a highly derogatory and insulting term t...

nevermind

I hunt with a feller who has Llew's who are big runners. We hunt primarily Chuks together. His dogs find a lot of birds, he kills a lot of birds. I have traditional GSP bootlickers 100-300 yds max. We kill equal amount of birds. At the end of the day my boys are in their crates while we're waiting ...

nevermind

what was left of the collar? were the prongs still attached? take a pic of the collar to show defect and send to Dogtra... those prongs are screwed onto the transmitter, so the prongs must have been very loose for them to back off... owner should take responsibility to check equipment before use. I'...

Nothing new on these proposals... eastern Washington, north Idaho, eastern Oregon or whatever. I'm in eastern Washington and the main hurdle is who's going to pay for this new state? I know we in eastern Washington pull more out of the pot than we put in and I'll bet eastern Oregon and north Idaho a...

Ask your Vet, if using fluoxetine (Prozac) might help with anxiety.

nevermind

Northeast Montana is your best bet for the state (around Plentywood)... Tons of public ground there and they cater to non-resident hunters. You probably wouldn't have much trouble getting permission on private land as well. It gets a bit crazy in Montana when pheasant season opens, but prior to tha...

nevermind

The B-guns are reliable guns. you should be able to find a good used one in that price range. Gauges sub to the 12ga. might cost a little more.

nevermind

My hat's off to you Rik.... seems like you already have focus and determination!

nevermind

wolves will kill your dog same as they will kill coyotes. Eliminating competition is natural behavior.

nevermind

Give the hasp on the check cord being sold a try with gloves on... a lot of hasps are to small and you have to take your glove off to hook up to dog collar.

nevermind

I think your intro was excessive remember it's a introduction. Whatever your recall method is I would use the e-collar only one time on a low setting nick during a training session. I'm a softy with the use of a e-collar... I only use correction when my dog blows me off on recall command, if your go...

nevermind

I liked the dog work on your video, but I don't think a command flush would be useful in a hunting situation when you can only take a cock bird. I noticed the dog in your video spitting out feathers...i've seen more than a few hen pheasants killed by flushing dogs, also watched a buddy send his poin...

nevermind

Yes... CIARKA my expirience with hunting dogs is you can range them in, but can't push them out in range.

nevermind

I'm not a dog trainer... anyway I think you need to let the dog trainers here know how you introduced your dog to the e-collar in conjuction with the "here" command?

nevermind

A gun fitted to you is a confidence builder...only downside is a miss can't be blamed on the gun.

nevermind

I haven't been on this site long....maybe someone can explain what perfect pedigrees is about?

nevermind

Bill... I don't feed my above mentioned dog raw food, but he's been on grain free dog food for atleast 5yrs. I do realize this is a case study of one on my part, but I didn't find feeding grain free food being a cure as the dog still had episodes of low blood sugar. This dog had great stamina, but a...

nevermind

I have a dog getting close to 12yrs of age that has a problem with low blood sugar. I'm not sure what you mean by seizures, as my dog just quits hunting and is lethargic until his blood sugar levels come back. Strange to me... is the few times this accures is when I hunt him in early part of the hun...

nevermind

This question is more for those that have a Dogtra 2500. I'm trying " Training with Mo" method to intro my pup to the e-collar and here command. Following Mo's procedure is working well except for one concern I have. Mo starts with low stimulation level one. I don't know what Mo has for an e-collar ...

contact Montana fish and wildlife... let them know the regions your going to hunt in and they will mail you maps of block management and other public and private properties that are available to hunt. The many times I've call MFW they have been more than helpful getting me maps and other information...

Sounds like, they dog hasn't got the "knock" out of it yet. With both of your dogs doing the same thing. Just an opinion, on what you have written. The most common issue with flaggers, tends to be a dog, that's close to being, ready for the steady work. Or, a dog that has steadied, really fast, rea...

Hi folks, if anyone reads this. I sent a deposit to Larry Lee at Bar Lee Setters in Bend, Oregon. Wondering if anyone has actually met a "Larry Lee" of Bar Lee Setters? I'm offering this question as a topic because I didn't meet Larry before sending my $300 deposit for an English Setter puppy. I as...

nevermind

I would be disappointed too about the response from Browning. The rep might have been giving you the longest time frame. You're not going to be able use the gun in it's present condition anyway, so I would send it to them. Hope things work out for you.

nevermind

Will Browning replace the stock? seems the gunstock should be cover under a warranty , if defect was not caused by purchaser. Looks to me like inletting was to tight or weak wood grain in stock or combination of both and the stock couldn't handle the recoil.

nevermind

Your dog will let the pup know this isn't play time when the pup runs up his backside while hunting. The times I've hunted with a pup and older dogs there wasn't but a few snarly nips and the pups got the message.

fantastic...technology. Hopefully it will be offered in F 250-350 trucks.

My thoughts... pheasant in the areas that I hunt are in cut wheat feeding early... it's hard to get them to hold in the open fields, so I've had more success waiting until after they have fed and move to heavy cover usually later in the a.m. depending on weather. I look for good cover next to food p...

nevermind

I have my doubts on this... the wolves in my part of the country consider coyotes as competition to be eliminated.

Pella strap vest is easy to load birds into. I like having 4 front pockets for gear and shells, big back pocket with straps to tie jacket on and water bottle pouches. I did have to make some modification to the vest as I found the belts for adjustments to long and the keepers on the ends of the trap...

nevermind

As said gun fit is the most important part of choosing a gun...most guns can be modified to fit you, but there will be a cost added to the price of a bad fitting gun. Choosing between 26" or 28" barrel I think is personal preference.... 28" feels more balanced in swing to me. Late season pheasant hu...

nevermind

Very old school.... thought was being in the home would hamper a dogs scenting ability. I haven't owned a hunting dog that couldn't find birds... all were house dogs.

nevermind

Suppose you could, but how will you enforce the vibration mode when the dog blows you off? Seems hitting the vibration button when you want a dog to stop would be cumbersome...giving the voice command is more to the point and quicker.

nevermind

Dang.... OP I guess you better pray to Saint Patrick for help.
