Re: Dog Boxes.......

I am getting ready to start back building boxes here in N Texas. I have personally hauled them in single digit temps, keeping dogs in the box all night and checked inside temps and it is in the mid-upper 50's.

Re: Post dogs on Point!!!!

This was a point here in central Florida yesterday with my young Strut male. Had a tough time finding this covey (wild birds) as he was right at 30 yards away. Knew there had to be birds as he slammed point and was locked in. I've been out to this area a few times and was surprised there are so many...

Re: Recall Question?

There are a few who replied who have tons of experience and to me there is zero chance this dog is collar wise. I have only had one that as collar wise and that was when I attempted to run him at nstra trials and it was only because this dog knew the birds weren't supposed to be out in the field, bu...

Is it hard finding land in Texas to hunt on? We are getting ready to move to TX from Florida and I am anxious to start finding some good spots.

Re: Heating a 6 hole trailer

I did a LOT of temperature testing before and after I began building my dog boxes and I came up with a lot of interesting data. My question is, is this insulated? What material, aluminum? If it is insulated, do you know how much in floor, walls and ceiling? It definitely matters and makes a huge dif...

Re: Illinois ready to introduce gun ban BIG TIME!

True, but this isn't even an assault ban. This affects deer hunters, field trialers, skeet shooters, etc....

They are trying to get this done during the lame duck session and sneak it through.

With moving to OK earlier this year I want to get familiar with a few places to go hunt, prefer public walk in land. So does anyone know how birds are out around Woodward or Beaver, OK or up in Larned or Meade, KS? I realize the drought has really hurt the numbers but figure there's got to be some b...

The big bales work great and right now with hay being in very short supply in many area's they are easier to come by plus they will be quite a bit cheaper. I used to broker Alfalfa in to Ocala, Fl and other parts of the SE and there is a BIG difference in the quality of the hay, depending on where i...

I know several who keep a ton of pigeons with their TN reds and bob whites and have done it for years and they haven't ever had a problem. I have recently started keeping some together myself and haven't had an issue either.

Re: To insulate or not to insulate, that is the ???

Here are some temp results from testing one of my boxes last August.

But, I can place my hand on top of one ...
