that looks a heck of a lot shorter than a number 7. maybe i'm just thinking of this backwards, i thought the smaller the number the shorter it cut?

Danro

Best thing I ever bought is a shedding blade, took out incredible amounts of the hair the first time I used it. I'm still gonna shave, sorry clip, him later this month but the blade helped in the mean time.

Danro

I did it one time and apparently the complete waste of time it was for dog training didnt truly hit me because I did it again the next year. For dog training, its not at all worth it. Its highly unlikely you will be able to flight condition the birds for quality training. Buy a couple dozen eggs and...

Danro

He was around a new dog last weekend for a couple of days but not now. Thats it though. He ran pretty well today, ate all his dinner, acting fine now, doesnt seem sick at all. Obviously I'll have to wait a few more days to see if it keeps up before spending money at the vet. I guess i'll just try to...

Danro

I have a 6 year old britt who just over the last couple of days has begun showing crazy seperation anxiety. Everyday I put him away while I go to classes, just three or four hours usually, and up till this week, it was never a problem. These last few days though he has whined and barked and I return...

Theres not a chance on gods green earth that the game commission will put as much effort into stocking and habitat recovery for bobwhite quail as they have pheasant. the age of the bobwhite in pa left with the farmers. I was afraid that would be the same problem with reintroducing pheasant, although...

Danro

heard some places are doing real well and others not so much. I think its more than just the cover, there are so many hawks in pa its ridiculous, and the federal government treats them like they're made of gold. I'm not saying have at them with a hunting season but I think its about time they get ta...

Danro

Eh still too much tail for me

love that intensity though. My buddy has a viz and shes a good hunter but geeez "velcro vizsla" doesnt even begin to describe it haha

Danro

Any unnecessary invasive surgery is a no for me. Seems like the cons far outweigh the pros.

Danro

Seems like only 10 or 15 years theyve been numerous in PA, now they're absolutely everywhere. game commission is even telling us now that theyre probably coyote wolf hybrids, explains why some are the size of german shepherds

Danro

You all wouldnt believe the grilling that some guys get on some penn. hunting forums when they even mention the idea of spotting a mountain lion in PA. Won't be long though I say, as fast as they're moving east.

Ah, yes, hunting with hank. Definitely the best hunting show that was on television. Now that guy was a sportsman!

Danro

Hey, a HuntingPA guy. Great lookin Viz, srt. Make sure to take tons of pictures!

Danro

I've been trying to get him on some grouse, but the ruff hunting in NEPA aint what it used to be. Only had a couple pre-season scouting encounters, once the hunting pressures on its a mystery to me as to where they go. He did have some moderate woodcock success this year but I would love for him to ...

Danro

6 years old I meant sorry. These are all pheasant encounters, game commission stocked pheasants for what it matters. He hasnt quite figured out the ruff game just yet. I know the thing about these stocked birds are you have to practically kick them in the you know what to get them to fly so I guess ...

Danro

My britt will be 6 in january and I'm really starting to like how he's coming along. This has been a good season for him so far. Only (well, maybe first) problem I'm seeing is it seems hes too quick to lock up on point. On more than one occasion he'll have locked up on point and I approach him to re...

Danro

Just a boring old doe for me. But it was in a some real thick, up to your calf in mud type cover. I thought it was a bigfoot

Danro

Had the same thing happen to me before the season, dog locked up on the edge of the field, twice I started away convinced there was nothing but the third time a hen busted out. Always good to see the summer work is beginning to pay off.

Danro

Well, he's still learning the rules to this game. I think at this point hes a bit resentful at how tricky they can be haha. Shot another today over him but just winged it. I saw about where it went down so I told him to hunt dead and he went in and found it. No retrieve this time. He was doing it in...

Danro

Just the first of many I hope this year.

Danro

Went out for the first time today for pheasant. Cock birds seem to be heading for the woods, hens are staying in the field. No shots today though.

Danro

I had this problem with my brit when he was younger. ecollar helped alot, not to punish so much as to just keep his attention focused with a page or a light nick here or there.

Danro

All I can think of is how much that pup probably had to pee

Danro

Go with the wrangler, I'm drivin a 93 YJ as my daily driver now, I can get about 20 mgp. I'm sure you'll be driving it to school right mostly? For that back and forth driving less then 10 miles 20 mpg is all you'll need IMO.

Danro

will do, bosco, thanks. I'll give it a try and hopefully it'll get better.

Danro

right under his nose he is beginning to lose some hair. most of the rubbing is either right under his nose or the side of his lips. i cant imagine it could still be fleas, i've washed him with the shampoo, he has flea and tick stuff on him, we bombed the house. those little buggers are about to get ...

Danro

I dont know if its only his back paws, its the only one I happen to notice at least. I guess he licks his front paws almost as often but the back paws are the only ones Ive seen him naw.

Danro

Nah his ears are pale pinkish and clean, probably not an infection I wouldnt think. I'm beginning to think its some kind of allergen. His eyes can sometimes be runny and it really looks like his nose is itching him the most. I forgot to say that he's licking and lightly nawing his back feet also. Th...

Danro

his ears are clean, i make sure to clean them with ear solution. what would i be looking for with an ear infection?

Danro

I am thinking ears or eyes as well. Mine rub their faces on the couch/chair/etc after a run b/c their eyes are itchy even if I flush with saline to get rid of seeds,etc. Is this happening after he is outside? Ive been conditioning him for the past 3 weeks or so, running him two or three times a day...

Danro

Ive bought quail from zukovich, they're good flyers, cant go wrong with that.

Danro

My britt has been incessantly rubbing his nose and the side of his face on the carpet for at least the last couple weeks. Has anyone ever expeienced this with their dogs? Is it possible its allergies or is he just losing his mind? Any help would be appreciated, I'm definitly trying to save a trip to...

Danro

hey guys, i'm just wondering how often you replace your e-collars. I have a dogtra system that ive been using for about a year and i still absolutely love it, but i've noticed the battery life decreasing a bit. should i ride it out till its dead or begin saving to replace it? i love dogtra collars b...

Danro

I'm gonna have to bring this up at NAVHDA. talk about versatile.

Danro

Daddy's Paycheck, call name chex is absolutely hilarious.

Danro

wooo, smokin'!

Danro

Ah, yes, chelydra serpentina. (I'm just showin' off now

) They make good soup, too. mmmmm, snapper soup

Danro

I'm gonna have to agree with you on the diamondback water snake identification. Looks like you've got a nerodia rhombifer that's a little lost.

Danro

Even being a Britt owner myself, I have to admit that after a long day of hunting, Brittneys are not the prettiest dogs on point. Hair all dirty and mangled and full of mud. But you know what? I wouldn't have it any other way.

Danro

GDF has got to be one of the biggest hunting related forums on the web. When a forum gets to be this big, there's only so much that can be done by the dedicated mods. I agree with grant and approving all people before becoming members. You probably can recongnize spam by the username readilly.

Haha....that's a new vocab word in dog training for me. Interesting take on the method.

Danro

You gotta nip it right now. Do you have an e collar? The best thing to do that I've heard from so many people and have done myself is to take the dog out where there are a lot of deer and once she starts chasing, crank it up to a high level and zap her once. Only gotta do it once probably before she...

Danro

Welcome! Always need more southeast PA guys.

Danro

Could have just been a simple cramp. I'd imagine dogs get them too. Doesn't sound like something to get too woried about, unless it happens again. A second opinion might not be a horrible idea though, just in case.

Danro

Great to see they're not just little lumps rolling around on the floor anymore. Oh boy, I want one.

Danro

Chelydra Serpentina. She'll take your finger off before you even know you made a mistake. Some of the bigger ones will take off your whole hand. You've gotta have brass ones to stick your hand in a hole with a live snapper in it.

Danro

It doesn't look good. Could be a calcium deposit on the bone itself. Or she could have suffered some kind of trauma on the rib and it healed incorrectly. I'd have it checked out. Could be nothing.

Danro

I've had this happen before in our small jack russell terrier. she was fine when I touched her leg but as soon as I tried to move it around at all she was in pain. it was a strained back muscle and the vet just told us to give baby asprin. could be that.
