My oldest son shots right and my youngest lefty as far as shells ejecting out we have no problems With that. The safety being on the top is real nice for me t...

Hey cheryl,
If you need a gunner my two sons are always looking to go hunting

. Don't sweat losing your dog they will find you. Hope you can get
out this week and good luck.

Try and push her range out and always hunt on the down wind side of the group. This will allow her to work birds across the
the hole group. Its tough to hunt with a dog that only hunts for its owner.
If you can figure it out your friends and family will have fun and get some birds too.

KF We hunted some state land last Friday. Personally we don't go in the a.m due to all the people there but if you Wait until three or four in the afternoon you will be the only on there. All the easy birds are shot leaving some Good birds for the dog to work. Make sure you dog is rock solid on poin...

Looks like you had a good day of hunting even if you had trespassers on your lease.
Tread lightly in your letter to the land owner thing can turn ugly real fast. we lost a nice
Farm due to a father son feud. Now its 175 acres of flat corn stuble with no birds.

Sir I do not have a ryman setter but I do have a 8 month old english setter. I think your asking a very general question about a breed of dog. You may have too look into the ped to find if there's any agression. As far as the biting our setter pup will play ruffhouse with our kids (nip bite jump on)...

They were not hunting with us, just ran into them in the woods.

Sorry about your hunting season hope all goes well with your surgery. If the gsp in your avitar needs run for you this fall

I think red wings and danner are still made in america, a couple styles of carhart jeans also.

pinebrookkennel

AMEN !!!!!!!!!
Every time you drive to the big mart store in your town think about the local harware or grocery store that was
killed because we all want our paint brush or canned green beans 20 cents cheaper!

pinebrookkennel

We were in upper mi a month ago and you wouldn't find a dog on point without a locator beeper of some kind. Also, if not for the beeper on Other guys dog in the woods he would have gotten shot at. Had a grouse fly 5 foot crossing left and at the last second I heard his dogs collar beeping and didn't...

pinebrookkennel

A couple of you replied, the dog will tell you when there ready (to steady)
What are we looking for specifically? Slamming on point, cutting into bird scent,

Too funny I got turned around tacking a deer on Sunday. Looked up and it was dark and didn't know were north was!!
My boyscout sons said hey dad, dumb question were was your compass?

pinebrookkennel

Not planning on trialing right now but you never know!
This unit would be nice in the north woods to keep track of your dog and have control
Gh, how many controlers do you want to carry at once? Seems like one unit would be nice
yes if it died that would suck, that's why I asked about TriTronics

pinebrookkennel

Thanks all We work on heel,whoa drills in the yard on off days due to the soft nature of the dog. I don't want any pressure on him the same day we run in the field because of the range issue. Doing well on the heel and whoa IMHO. I'v used the paul young method without The correction at this point. A...

pinebrookkennel

Anybody know if t.t. is coming out with a unit that is both gps and e-collar in one unit. I'm sure the pro unit would be
sweet.
It can't be to long because didn't garmin buy t.t..
Looking at a gps unit. $700 E-collar $500

pinebrookkennel

We are using launchers and homing pigeons, after a run last night I think the problem may be that he dosnt like to
Run in cover he can't see? Maybe its a contact thing

pinebrookkennel

Thanks all
I'm thinkin now I'm putting the cart in front of the horse. :roll:

pinebrookkennel

There is always a cord on him.
That the problem if I handle him with the cord around birds were is he going to get his range form?
I want him to go out and find birds, not walk under or behind my feet and let me lead him to the birds.

pinebrookkennel

Time to ask a question Fiirst a little background, we have a 8 month old setter male who is an introvert. Along with that he has range issues I'm trying to work out. ( None to speak of ! ) We have put him on pigeons and built up his prey drive, now I'm working on range. With this I'm planting launch...

pinebrookkennel

What did the dog know when you droped him off ? Let's start there. Imho your dog should know there name, know the come and Heal Command, be started on whoa before you even think about a trainer. That's basic work you can do as a owner to save yourself a lot of money. It can take a month to get a dog...

pinebrookkennel

We do not have any problems, once and a while the dog will run out to the coop when you don't want them to Like at night or when your leaving for church. How can you blame a bird dog for going out and finding birds? Make sure your birds are strong fliers so your pup can't catch them if there in the ...

pinebrookkennel

Get white pigeons, the neighbors will think there white doves. When they ask tell them how blessed they were to see
Several white doves in one day.

Jimbo There seems to be a lot more deer hunters in the last few years. 15 years ago hardly anybody bow hunted. The outdoor and persuit channel have made it Cool to be a bowhunter, look @ all the cloathing you can buy in camo now. Its good for the sport and hunting revanue but Please do we realy need...

Looks like a great time. I've wanted to get out west and shoot an elk for years now, life just keeps getting in the way. Oh and
The cost.

Nothing better than hunting with family, you will always have someone to go hunting with.

pinebrookkennel

Duct tape works fine. Its not very expensive and if you forget it stop by any store and pick some up. Tape over the foot
after a while the pads will wear through and the dog won't slip. Back wrap the first layer around the ankel to help with
removal. Also you can buy It in all kinds of cool colors.

Thanks for the resize. I haven't figured out how to do that from my smart phone.

How's everyones deer hunting season going. I know this is a gundog fourm but people hunt a wide varitey of game. As far as hunting lies go I have a nice Little story.

My wife was thumbing through one of my hunting mags and saw an add for the new astro collar. To my suprise she said I should have one of those for our dog.

Great post, sounds like you have a nice string of dogs for that yupper cover.

I hate the look you get when you miss

. If your dog could only tell you "I DID MY JOB STUPID"

pinebrookkennel

You will find some bird around wolverine. Saw a couple while morel huntin this spring.

Captain jack
Would love to make the trip with you but my wife would string me up. Heading up next weekend to the grayling area to hunt.
Then comes ohio youth bird season . This month is all booked upl. Hope you find someone to share your trip with.

pinebrookkennel

If Im traveling for work if its a two hour drive Im staying in town. Same rule applys to hunting. There is alot more to do after the hunt.

pinebrookkennel

Switch to hole corn ,it keeps them warm. You need to add some grit to help the digestion.

Ruth
Heading up north that weekend for a three day hunt. Hope to find some grouse and woodies to throw a little shot at.
Can't wait only two more weeks

pinebrookkennel

Yes corn works well I've used it in the trap. I lined the bottom with cardbaord so the corn didn't fall through. The best way I have found is if you have a bird too put in the trap other birds will go in. This way you don't have to bob train them. Put one bird in trap add bait, set. One tip I have i...

pinebrookkennel

Tim I have had no problems with mine. I've never had a bird get out of the trap. The door latch on top is a pain sometimes if your alone Tying to load a bird. If you fund a good spot it may only trap four or five birds @ one time due to its small size. On the up side It fit in the trunk of a car or ...

Sign me up. Thanks doc, very generous!!

pinebrookkennel

Ray You are right about golf there is a ton off money spent on all pastimes. Your average suburb white collar worker can play golf once a week and hang up the sticks. There are no chores to be done twice a day no matter the weather. Or trying to clean hoves or file teeth all the while trying not to ...

Can't let my wife see that pic she will want a horse to go shoping on. :roll: those bags get real heavy sometimes

Is there a purse @ these event?
If so where is that money going. Straight to the handler, or do the owners get a percentage of winnings
