Gun Dog Forum

I am putting together a hunt to eastern Montana. I am wondering where would you guys suggest to start? As far as private and public land availability, and bird numbers? We are looking to go the first week of October? Hoping to hunt pheasants and run into some huns and sharpies? Also where might you ...

if it does turn out to be too loud you can either wrap it up or there are internal switches to turn it down.

We are headed back out to South Dakota in mid December our first trip wasn't that great we leased some ground that didn't have much for food source on it. We are going back and gonna try and find some pr...

I think it is definetly worth keeping birds on hand. Especially this time of year if you are wanting to train. Where i am about this time of year all the bird breeders are normally out of birds and are wanting to keep the birds they have on hand for breeding. So if you don't have birds on hand and h...

I have pheasants and deer on the wall. My shorthair pays em no attention. Good to hear you getting kids in the outdoors. That first bird is a special one. Make sure you take pics they will last a lifetime.

I have had good luck with the lamb also.

Went to jim edgar for the first time this year and had a great day. It was a little warm and windy. The birds were runnin so we had to work for them but we limited out. My buddy and I took our dads and had a great time. Nothin like a little friendly competition between the so called old guys and the...

I wish i might have my wife convinced to keep two so we have six for sale no takers yet though

Was just wondering your opinions on when to return momma dog to hunting after the pups are removed? And how long it normally takes for her milk to dry up and teets to return to normal size?

Hey guys I appreciate all the info. My days off fall during everyone elses work week so sometimes it can be a good thing to have bad days off lol. Dog dr I agree about the reservations we hunt jim edgar a couple times a year if we can get a spot reserved. Well we are gonna go give it a try I'll let ...

I have hunted some of the other spots in IL for controlled pheasant hunts. I was goin to go ahead and get a spot reserved online instead of messin with the draw. We have to do that at jim edgar or not get a spot. At Moraine View how do they pick which area you will go. Do I need to pick my own spot ...

Was thinkin about heading over there. We normally try to get to jim edgar a coulple times a year but its always packed. Was wondering if anyone had any experience or advice. Would like to know how they do the draw. Also how the habitat is? Just kind of wanting to know if its worth the drive. thanks

Thank you all for the replies and comments and yah he has already became the house dog pretty much. Although I know he is dyin to get out and run. I know its not the end of the world if amputation has to happen just want him to be able to do what he loves to do.

My Gsp escaped from his kennel in early july due to a thunderstorm. He was hit by a car and it broke his right rear leg. He had surgery and had a plate and screws put in along with a bone graph. It is now several months later and not much healing has went on. The vet suggested another bone graph fro...

thanks for all the input. Sounds like they are hit and miss on working or not. Think i will just stick with making a silhouette and hiding it behind stuff for now. Hope they can tell its a dog with my drawing thanks for the replies.

I really didn't expect to hear get rid of her for a dog that doesn't care. I know she wants to be part of the activity. I do have other driven dogs like her and they do care but don't whine. I was just asking if anyone had any suggestions. Wasn't trying to ruffle any feathers. I did get one pm and I...

I have a gsp that will whine in the kennel. She mostly whines when i am in the yard and she is in the kennel. Wanting out or if she hears my truck pull in. She also does it when I let another dog out and not her. But she will also whine when no one is outside. My question is do they make a bark coll...
