smittty

it has not been not out of the teens at night and 20's in the day time where I am at for weeks and I had eggs on the floor this week I will wait a while before putting nesting bowls out

smittty

I am from NJ and here I am aloud to own a handgun but can't carry one ..so what good is it ? the only guys that carry in NJ are the bad guys ...Just senseless :roll:

Why you been dealing with customer service for 10 yrs I have TT never had to deal with customer service?? :? well lets see ..the numbers wore off the dial on my 1850 once after 5-6 years of use ..another was an issue with the tone botton ..... both times they had a new unit at my door before I had ...

smittty

I have the TEK and it seems to operate just fine .. But what I like most about it is its simple to operate...as far as the customer service they are second to none dealt with them for the last 10 years

intro to birds to that in six weeks very impress of

smittty

yup launcher.. as soon as he gets scent pop em it won't take long he'll get it

smittty

get yourself a launcher or two as soon an he get scent pop the bird he'll learn fast

smittty

Why be surprised sounds to me like they are just two well bred dogs...Remember you don't need to teach a well bred dog to hunt you just need to put obedience behind them

smittty

anyone here try stall matts?

smittty

sounds to me like you're doing a fine job..you're just at the point where it gets a little ugly .... keep the pressure on him do what it takes to get him to pick it up he will give in then its all down hill

smittty

all depends on the birds if they are pen raised birds I think the garden hose will be a little much ...if you want the birds to get out a little more go with a ribbon or surveyers tape just play with the size till you get what your looking for.. I have used hose but only with pigeons

smittty

yup plenty of sand burrs on the east coast moma takes care of them we get home

smittty

I always start by putting a half dozen young pen raised quail ..I put the birds all together the bring in the pup i let him catch eat, chace... anything he want to with the birds first time

smittty

where in ny

smittty

he bayer is 1.47% imidacloprid K9 ADVANTIX IS 8.7% most guys are using 9 cc's on a 50pound dog but so far 6 is working well for me ....the cattle tag I cut in strips four strips to the tag then use zip tie's to fasten to collar ... I also keep a few hanging around the kennel

smittty

works for fleas well but not so much on tics... for tics ive been using the cattle tags '' I use 6cc's of the bayer every 30 days on my full grown setter and 3cc's on my 30 pound setter they are bug free

smittty

i had a guy hunting a field along side the field me and my dogs were in and he was so hard on the whistle my one dog said if he blows that thing one more time i'm gonna shove it...welp! I just got my dogs out of there

smittty

whistles bother the heck out of me... don't use them I do use the tone botton on his collar

smittty

if you have a well breed dog that's all you have to teach is obedience.... what else is there???? he'll get the bird thing himself your job is just putting a little obedience behind him

smittty

bayer tree and shrub I have two setter one 50 lbs and a pup 25 I figure 3cc's for the pup and 6 for the larger dog that's straight undiluted am I correct ?? or should I dilute it//

smittty

yes per day

smittty

i figure a 1/2 oz by volume per bird .... one cup = 16 birds .....I am actually feed 18 birds one cup i like to keep them hungry

smittty

I know what you mean I'm in NJ and every time I get a new pup I say I think i'm gonna send him off to work on wild birds ..But never fails I start working with them and get attached and just cant send them off

smittty

good stuff

that's an easy fix after the vibrate or tune comes the juice.....

smittty

I don't like or use whistles I use the tone button to get my dogs to come around

smittty

a guide service is one thing but to rent your dog out is nuts......that's me opinion any-hows .I work to hard to get my dogs where I want them ..if you ever think about starting a wife renting thing let me know where to sign but my dogs stay with me

smittty

correct

smittty

I was recently in the market as you are for a E/T collar I have a few friends with the alpha and a buddy with a SD TEK so I got to play with both ...and let me say both are solid units and worked well for me none better then the other ... I chose the TEK only because it did everything the alpha did ...

smittty

thanks for that im gonna give it a try

smittty

Any one here use this for flea and tick?? if so how much do you use and with what results???

smittty

pigeon pole

smittty

if she's cacthing the birds you need to get control... is the dog on a checkcord ????.if you don't have a launcher carding works but again you need to take control with the checkcord

smittty

I have a pair also I never used and took them out the other day ..same thing bad batteries and then no range I just gave them to a buddy of mine who is pretty good with electronics he looked at them and told me to give him a week or so to get parts and he thinks he can solve the problem....I will le...

I know this sounds funny but I use the wash machine dog box. It is so simple. Just gut a wash machine. Slap a back on it and a floor and a door. Your done . I use a door because I use as my dog box during hunting. You can put insulation on the inside. You can do this under 20 bucks. I have been usi...

I had a sporstdog beeper it was just to to loud in my opinion even when I used it just on point... im sure the thing got the birds running ..now in heavy cover I just use a good ol bell For my purposes, the beep was louder than I wanted, too. So I cover it with a piece of duct tape, which makes it ...

smittty

I also picked up a tube of the safe-guard10%..the way I read it is two clicks or marks for every 250lbs of horse or one mark or click for every 250lbs of cattle ...so I was thinking I should be at 1/4 of a click for a 50 pound dog.....someone correct me if i'm wrong

smittty

smittty

nothing wrong with what your doing in my eye's.. keep it up just go slow ..I start the suitcase method at 8 weeks just for a minute or two a night while watching tv ..as he gets older it will become more formal that's when the pinch collar come in

smittty

smittty
