Wanted some input/ideas on alternative bedding for barrels. I have always used straw in the past but with the new kennel and drainage trough, the straw that is consequently pulled out with dogs going in and out finds its way in the trough causing a little extra work. I was hoping there was something...

Guys... Ive had it. I cant go on until I find the right match for me. I am a serious... serious grouse hunter. And where I live... briars are the habitat of choice. With all that said, i go though a pair of hunting boots just about every season or two and its time to get a pair of boots that will fi...

Baby oil works just fine.

I use off-brand ivomermectin horse paste. I Think it's called Agri-Max. 1.87% Ivermectin

The the collar I would say is just a shy smaller of normal size. I have a 36 lb. setter with a pencil neck and it fits him fine I just have to buckledown just about all the way up and then tuck whats hanging out on the collar back through the D ring, works fine.

Weve been having trouble keeping bird farms in business down here for some reason, I think people offer more choice and better quaility is why they are still around.

KY Grouse Hunter

Thats unusual. They were usually pretty prompt.

KY Grouse Hunter

good birds and good people. we buy for our club from there.

I've got two (almost 2 yrs. old) setters that are all but STWS that I use as my grouse dogs. They have seen plenty of pigeons, starting to figure out grouse, and recently killed alot of quail over them on a preserve hunt. Just wanted to get your opinions on dogs pointing robins, field larks, etc. wh...

sounds good... How bout some pics?

Its getting that time of year where the mecury will soon start to rise into those upper digits and some start breaking out the clippers for that "summer cut" on their long-haried friends. I don't usually clip mine but this year I am thinking about doing it because basically I don't think it could hu...

Does anyone have any experience about this particular pistol? Does anyone have any experience with .209 firing pistols? I am in need a new one and wanted to maybe try this one.

Ok, I get this alot and here is my experience. To me when the dog lays down It is thinking that laying down has totally saved itself from any correction you might put on it. In other words, "If I am laying down, I know I cant be doing anything wrong". How I have fixed this is by putting an ecollar o...

KY Grouse Hunter

Is there anyone going or does anyone know of anyone going?

KY Grouse Hunter

Does anyone know how to use the Setter Pedigree Program? I have it downloaded but don't know how to use it. Thanks.

KY Grouse Hunter

I am laying claim to this one because I came up with it and I think it is the best.

Woodcock = Swamp Dart

Thats right! No question about it.

I am pleased to see a KY dog win, but I gotta admit I would like to have seen Jetsetter and others in a callback, but the judges made that call and that is how it works so, congrats.

KY Grouse Hunter

Lets hear it for the KY Dog! Congrats snowatch and Gary.

KY Grouse Hunter

what time will they announce? Any idea?

KY Grouse Hunter

sounds like a $#!* eater to me. J/k

KY Grouse Hunter

Go snowatch. Finished the 3 hrs. and accounted for 4 finds.

KY Grouse Hunter

sounds like a winner.

KY Grouse Hunter

My grandfather had a brittany years ago that was a pitiful bird dog but ran rabbits like there was no tomorrow. He ended up selling that dog for 500 bucks and that guy still swears up and down that that was the best rabbit dog that he had ever had or seen.

KY Grouse Hunter

I know that when it is time to get the dog out of its kennel or get it out to run, you can try riding your horse up to the kennel a few times until that dog wants out so bad that he doesn't care if your riding a dragon or a goose, he will want to get out and run.

Tim Hammonds in Berea, KY has some of the best in the Nation, and I mean good stuff. I've seen alot of his dogs run down here in alot of trials.

KY Grouse Hunter

It is gonna take some backing and plenty of finds along with some covey action I understand that is just your opinion,, but why would you say it is going to take some backing,,,, everybody knows you can't win on a back only lose,,,, and ya got to take mind,, it is Ames Plantation and all there is, ...

KY Grouse Hunter

I think next week will hold the winner. It is gonna take some backing and plenty of finds along with some covey action.

KY Grouse Hunter

Ill second the water system. Makes them hit the back of the dog house pretty fast. They seem to not want to bark while water is coming down or in their house.

KY Grouse Hunter

I would say there are alot more pointers bred and trained for foot hunting as opposed to horseback dogs. It takes a real special dog to compete in horseback stakes and only a select few see the day.

KY Grouse Hunter

I saw the same things. I can't believe it. It's almost like they were purposely drawn that way to make it more appealing. But, that can't be true.

KY Grouse Hunter

I am rooting for Clower's Thunder Strike, Lester's Snowatch, Hytest Skyhawk, Jetsetter, In the Shadow, & B B's Pike.

This is some good stuff. I have been waiting for a good discussion like this for a while.

Ok, here is a scenario, if I have trained a couple dogs(foot hunting) for some money before I started trialing, and I run only my own and self-trained dogs in those trials, am I considered a Am or a Pro?

KY Grouse Hunter

Wanted to go but can't.

This may be a shot in the dark but, does anyone know who qualified from the Kentucky Open Shooting Dog?

KY Grouse Hunter

Mike Tracy has alot of dogs there this year, and alot of good dogs too. He has a pretty good string this season.

KY Grouse Hunter

This has been absolutely rediculous over here. I had one of the only places in my area with power so I had 10 people staying the night with me. They are telling some people around Muhlenberg that they will not have power for about 3 months! I have never seen anything like it around these parts. I th...

I love the sportmix. I remeber when I was paying 24 dollars a bag for it early last year and now its only 20 dollars a 50lb. bag and they are telling me that it is way to expensive. I pay 19 to 20 dollars a bag right now and am tickled pink with the results for the price. But like they say, if you f...

Just found out today that my local feed store is getting closer to not carrying my beloved Sportmix anymore so I need a new feed because this store is the only local place I can find Sportmix. They are instead going to start carrying a brand called Formax. Does anyone have any experience or insight ...

KY Grouse Hunter

PM me if your interested in a spot in Central KY.

KY Grouse Hunter

I've seen some stuff out of that kennel and one thing I can say about that operation is continual quality. Bob consistently keeps putting out good all around bird dogs. Good chance you will get a good dog from that operation.

KY Grouse Hunter

I have feed the blue bag many times. Here the last few years, during the hunting and training months I will feed the black bag because of the more fat content and in the offseason I feed the blue bag just because the dogs arent as active and aren't out burning all that energy. There is no transition...

$20!!!!!!!!! It is wonderful! I don't say much about it because I know the majority of people live and die by Pro-Plan and Eukanuba feedsand are strong opinionated about it, but I must say, this is some fine fine stuff for the price. I am not saying that the Pro-Plans and Eukanubas are rip offs and ...

KY Grouse Hunter

Finally! Someone with a question about the food that I feed. I have never talked on this forum about Sportmix that I can remember. I feed it currently and have fed it for a long time. I think it is an underrated feed and I have had nothing but good things to say about it. It seems to be a good heart...

In my travels I have found that smaller lighter, rougher dogs handle well in the thick briar, mountains where I live. I breed for a small setter with tons of drive and like to breed dogs that don't mind to run face first into briars. My largest setter weighs in between 40 and 45 pounds.

KY Grouse Hunter

Wow. Thats terrible. I live fairly close to Jonesy and have not heard anything about that. He recently just got done shooting a show fow American Gundog down here at home and now this bad luck. Prayers go out to him.
