Gun Dog Forum

When you own a dog that points and pins the dogs down there wouldnt be a need for a "herding" type approach/dog.

Rowdy-
Some of the best bird dogs had absolutely NO confirmation, what the heck does is matter? All of your talk of angulation, confirmation, etc means nothing if the dog cant find birds. So who really cares?

You may have a vegetarian dog.....

Ames=Superbowl. Everything else is equivilant to CNFL and European football.

Get rid of momma and the cats.

It surely doesnt hurt to kill em, although they are WAY down on the list of TOP PREDATORS. Coyotes actually rank below man. Ferral cats, possums, and coons have a much larger effect on wild bird populations.

Time better spent trialing IMO

Do you have a dog to enter? Drawing is this evening at 8 pm. Please call ASAP if that is the situation. Thanks!

I hardly ever use fruit wood and all my meat recieves rave reviews. I use hedge, walnut, hickory, and oak all the time. A couple of years ago I actually quit using charcoal and grill will wood exclusively.

Brown County FTC is hosting their Fall trial this weekend the 10th and 11th. We will begin with HB stakes and move onto the walking. Drawing Tuesday the 6th. Call for more details. Thanks

Bossman- I was just kidding around. I wouldnt want people know my sweet spots, littering, shooting my birds, or any other situation that could come up. Also I am not insured and could assume or defer the risk to the landowners. :D I put to much work into landowner relationships, population control, ...

heck I will put you oin wild birds on private ground for the right price!

Chris E. Kroll, he is a notorious bulls*tter and has won many a chugging copmpetiton. He also was the first to discover global warming and develop the internet (Sorry Al). He is also known for his work as a humanitarian/philanthropist and Porn star. These achievements, among endeavors should include...

To be held 11/9-11/11 starting 8 am Friday morning with the HB SH dog (1 hour) followed by the HB derby, then the Cara Kroll Memorial Walking Shooting Dog Classic (1 hour) to end with the walking derby. Call for more details, drawing to be held 11/7/2012.

These reports are coming from guys that have been going to S Dakota for 40+ years and they told me to save my money and stay at home this year. Still probably better than other states but not good.

If my quail have enough food and water for the length of time I'm going away, I don't have one problem leaving them for a week since I know they don't have the size to break my pen and get out. You obviously have never raised quail. They can get out of anything no matter how good of a pen you have ...

I have friends that have summer camps right around that area and from the reports this summer I got from them I actually cancelled my training trip. Reports consisted of "no cover, few birds, and drought stricken like the rest of the country". Its beautiful country, albeit a long ways from Tx. Your ...

The handler wasnt saying "whoa" but screaming to the heavens "MY DOG HAS HOLES IN IT AND I DONT TRUST HIM!" If I was judging it surely wouldnt impress me. This is a team sport and you have to judge both the handler and the dog. Sometimes the dogs hate that fact.

There is plenty of walk-in ground around to choose from. Some better than others obviously. Get yourself a map and start driving. The further from Topeka you get the less pressure you will find. It doesnt hurt to knock on some doors while you are out either. Good luck, T-town is a rough place. Just ...

Welcome, thanks for your service and dont forget to post your location.

That is why they call it hunting and not shooting.

People complain about trappers and the loss of bird populations, almost in the same breath at times. These two go hand in hand. The less critters out there equal higher bird populations will grow, there is a clear relationship. Unfortunately there is always a risk when running your dog, skunks, proc...

All of my boys have worked dogs in one of those front packs. It got to be a bit much when I had two of them with me though. (you try one on the front and one on the back) :lol: My oldest is pushing 8 and LOVES to ride his horse while I work dogs. He also is a big help when I need someone to flush fo...

You dont need them for a dog.

You can see my set up at www.cekkennels.com It is an inside the building kennel set up. Concrete is a must and will make your life MUCH easier!

You dont need heat for pigeons.

AKC? Open to all breeds? More details please.

labs..................

I train with a wonderfully succesful AA amatuer on a regular basis, funny how he buys plenty of birds from me and has more johny houses than dogs. (thats quite a few BTW) I have met tons of folks that "seemed" to know what they are talking about, although the proof is in the proverbial pudding. :roll:

Amen Casey :roll:

Your a dumb@ss why dont you give me a call, save on gas, find birds, and have a place to stay! Your always welcome, except when you arent.

Get real, I have a 200.00 trailer that is towed behind a $1000 truck. My horses are cared for better than most people that have those $30k trailers. They arent they expensive, but they do have their cost's.

walker all the way.

Welcome to the Kansas constituency here on GDF. Congrats on the new pup!

they sure are fun. Not to brag at all, but you should come to my place. I just finished my 6th and final hatch of quail of the year, 1,500 eggs a piece. Dont be envious though, they eat about 800 lbs of feed a month :roll: . I cant wait till trial season to start selling some!

I drilled a hole in the side of a feed pan so that I could run an electrical wire through it to power a 60 watt light bulb. Then I turn it upside down and place a 2 gallon metal fountain waterer on top of it. Hasnt failed me yet.

I keep light on mine year round. Make sure you have good feed, clean water, and oyster shell helps to promote good egg health.

I feed puppy food until 6 weeks then start the switch.

I heard you can find a mean BBQ in Tx. Thats what I would try.

Seriously Gooseman? Why could you not go anywhere? I have two horses here on the property and couldnt see the reason in sending them somewhere else. I am tied more to the quail (3,000) than the horses and still have time every summer to take a vacation. Horses take care of themselves for the most pa...

I have sold dogs to hog hunters for the exact purpose of breeding to enhance the noses of their hog dogs. I see nothing wrong with it. If I had a cull right now I would be more than happy to help. Poo Poo all the naysayers, they just dont know what they dont know.

I am with birddogger, cant see the dust I guess. These are animals folks and we are suppose to outlive them. I guess when you treat them like a commodity and a means to and end you dont get attatched like some, but even as a child I never did because I understood the cycle of life I guess.

.22 short shot from inside the house would work fine in conjunction with the hot wire.

Tirgger-
Thats comes from someone whos boat cant hold water. Ignorance is bliss :roll:

I think that is the most uneducated thing I have read. Can I ask why?

Gun X but a lifetime warranty is only as good as the lifetime of the company. Hard to collect on a problem with a company that is out of business, like NEF.

Stay at home dad

farm part time

you got to be able to shoot around the horse, I think everyone has forgot about that. :roll:

Rowdy I might be interested in a roading harness if you ever get into that field.
