Could you PM me any info on this. Just curious.

I would be lookin to get a rabies booster if your dog was bit. Guess I did not think of that being he just turned two and his last shots were not that long ago. I also kinda figured if this coon was rabid or ill the last two weeks of -20below weather would have done in any sickly animals. Or is tha...

Went through four or five collars in under a year. Different manufacturers. I now have a PermaTack and love it.

Took Pull out with a friend of mine that recently got a GWP. He wanted his pup 8mo. old to run with my dog for a little experience. We went to two different private properties that were mainly creek lines between cornfields. At the first property Pull went on point with his tail wiggling like crazy....

Outside during the day inside at night. Weather permitting. Weekends not hunting or training inside much more. Feeding and bathroom outside. No dogs on furniture or upstairs.

twofeathers

I'm in.

I also have sportdog and got the longer prongs and snug up real tight can only fit a finger under when done. Had similar problems with the short prongs.

Wen't out after work this morning and Pull had five points four were hens and one rooster. I missed the first shot and hit with the second dropped the bird about 50yds away in chest high switchgrass. Pull worked very hard and found my bird for me retrieving to hand but a little chomping as he gave u...

Just watched two nice eight pointers fighting..... pretty cool!

Sorry to hear about your trail cam wems if I hear anything I will let you know. It is 200 yds. here as wems stated and the DNR would have been the proper authorities to call. Was I a little harsh? Perhaps. Did I know this kid was so young. No. Like my wife said how far is 200 yds? Was it my fault fo...

So I have a new pup that I personally have not fired a weapon around yet set up in our back yard during the day. Happened to look outside after hearing gunshots close to the house (Deer season). There stands a guy not more than 100yds away from my dogs shooting at deer running across the field. Put ...

twofeathers

Really its up to you. They are versatile animals and many use them to hunt feathers or fur. Personally I do not yet but may as the dog matures. I think you are spot on about them being able to differentiate what were out there to do. By the way my dog hunts mice for me when we are not into birds. :r...

twofeathers

All similar posts as to why I have only shotgun hunted deer once and never again. Does not even seem like hunting and feels unethical.

"Break out the banjos were gonna slaughter us some game."

That part could have been left out. Couldn't help myself.

twofeathers

Well how many Red tail Hawks did you see? I heard from a guy I work with coon pelts are going up to around $25 ea. so hopefully there will be more interest in taking out some predators this year. Looks like you at least had fun.

twofeathers

I probably shouldn't post this because I feel like a moron. :oops: I will anyway so someone else may use it as a learning experience. It was a tick. Pull has darker skin color on his head and neck where he is all black and his skin is like a grey color (As well as the ticks). Well the ticks little l...

twofeathers

Was petting my GSP and noticed what felt like a tick at the base of the back of his neck. I really had to look hard at this thing to determine it wasn't a tick. It is exact shape and size of a tick minus legs and coloration. Never noticed this before so it had to have grown recently. Any ideas? Was ...

Took dogs out this weekend and had some fun. Pull had some nice bird work on two seperate hens one that he tracked running for about 1000yds. He also found me a doe and a rabbit. :D Janie is doing better at not being so close and had fun chasing sparrows and sniffin different types of animal droppin...

Congrats to chase and thanks for sharing.

My son is 13 and I still carry his ammo until game is spotted. It's not that he isn't responsible rather that I am. My father let me carry my own ammo and shoot at game at a very young age 10 or so. Once while squirrel hunting I saw a squirrel in a tree past my dad he was crouched down in front of m...

Very nice. Good job on that point Brandi

Not familiar if there can be an allergic reaction to beets. That would be something I know Pull has never been in yet. Anyone else know of any reaction to beets?

Wems don't know if you got to the vet yet but someone else had a pup that had similar bumps this is what they did. "2 tsp apple cider vinager in a cup of water, damped it and dabbed onto them bumps, took about 5 days it is cleared up now. Vet says the feedlot has droppings from the cows and pup gets...

Wonder if that's a second or third brood seems fairly late in the year but I could be wrong. Got out this morning and saw a rooster two hens and some partridge. I know they say the bird numbers are down from last year here but I have been seeing partridge and quail that I have not seen here in years...

Went out bow hunting Friday and got two does so Friday and Saturday were spent processing deer as it was too warm still to hang for long. Sunday was trick or treating with the kids then back to work. Plan on going out in the morning though hope to get into some as I've been hearing them cackling fro...

[quote="wems2371" On a side note, and maybe this is already being implemented, is there any part of the Hunter Safety course that covers sharing the land courtesy-wise between the different types of hunters and the use of dogs? I'm of the age that I didn't need to take the course, so I don't know wh...

put his food bowl in there if he wants to eat he has no choice but to go in....also put hay in there they all seem to want to sleep on hay for some reason... +1 My dog last year would not go in his house either for the longest time. I even left him outside in the rain once thought for sure he would...

Squirrels will eat the antlers.............just so you know.

Personally as long as pup cant get at them I wouldn't worry. May want to take out your camera though might get some nice point pics.

Our house dog was bitten on the tip of her nose by a squirrel took a big ol chunk out. It did return to its original color but skin there has a different texture now.

twofeathers

I've been hunting eastern Iowa for about 20yrs never seen one. Of course when I was younger I may not have known one if I had.

twofeathers

It would be interesting if they also included a "roadside trend" to count the number of natural predators. I for one have noticed a huge increase over the years of red tailed hawks with the exception of this year.

twofeathers

Great looking boy you got there. Bet you can't wait.

twofeathers

wems that is correct, after more research I had found that he lived in Grand Mound Iowa. I had posted that, then kept searching and realized that there was a not so reputable kennel of the same name in Missouri. I was not looking for peopels opinions about them or the kennel, rather where they may b...

Was wondering if anyone had any info on Tim and Shanda Carpenter River Valley Kennels.

twofeathers

I will get a photo of him and post it this weekend. Thanks wems, those are good ideas I think thats what I'll do. In an effort to make sure he went to his original owners I really didn't want to put pics out at first. That way whomever tried to claim him would be able to give me the description of t...

Calamus is about 15 miles west of Dewitt Iowa or 30 miles west of Clinton Iowa ,Middle Eastern Iowa, We live on a gravel road about 1 mile from the highway. There are quite a few pheasant hunters in this area and we have public hunting area about 2 miles from the house. I would not mind keeping him ...

twofeathers

Still have him with us the kids decided to name him Rocky since he was found on a gravel road. I was going to get another GSP but wanted a female so we may try finding him a home if no one claims him. I hate to do that but I think it would be better than taking him to a shelter.We might keep him for...

twofeathers

Watched him pointing at some birds outside the kennel today. Still trying to find his home.

twofeathers

I would guess him to be three or four years old. All liver, very friendly and seems to have had some training. Have not been to the vet but should be able to go this weekend. I hope someone would do the same for me if I lost mine. I returned to the area I found him and tried the houses where no one ...

twofeathers

Today on my way home from work about a half mile from my home I came upon an all liver GSP running down the road. No collar and looked like he has not been cared for for a few days. Loaded him up and went to all the houses around that area and no one knows where he is from. Going to take him to the ...

Lots of answers mostly opinions seem to confirm "do what you think is right per dog". As well as what your intentions are you would really have to provide more info.

Depends on the terrain and proper hydration. If that was true my black gsp would have an advantage in the sunny snow covered hunting grounds with colder temps. No?

Not evryone competes with thier dogs or tries to make them look better on paper. Most get pups for pets or hunting companioins or both. That could be why pup #1 lacks on pedigree.

Dogs don't notice if you call them by another dog's name. 3. Dogs like it if you leave a lot of things on the floor. 4. A dog's parents never visit. 5. Do...
