I would stop letting him catch it and dont give him treats. by doing that you are rewarding him for something you don't want .

Re: Akc Hunting tests

Hunt test might have more meaning if the AKC set higher standards for the judges instead of have judges that will pass every dog. There are a lot of judges that don't seem to know what the standards are.

Re: IOWA BILL 564--Shorten Season & Lower Limit

with crop and land prices today it's almost impossible. Only way would be to make the wildlife as valuable to the farmers as their crops. like in Africa, which will never happen with a bird. It's going to be a losing battle for the birds

Re: IOWA BILL 564--Shorten Season & Lower Limit

it won't matter what the limits and seasons are if there are no birds to go after.

It easier and faster for them to change seasons and limits than it is to address the real problem of habitat and the conflict it has with farming.
