Anybody else attending this hunt test this weekend? I'll be there both Sat and Sun. I've had Cali out 3 times on pen raised birds and she seems to be coming along well. Later- Charlie

I live in Topeka and travel to Emporia for vet visits. Floyd Dorsey does a great job. Hunts and understands some of the crazy stuff that our dogs get into while in the heat of the hunt.

I hunted with a friend of the inlaws last fall that had a shorthair lab cross. In talking about the dogs abilities (great gundog). He started telling me how he specifically set up the cross. He wasn't happy with his labs because they ran out of gas to quick but wanted the lab personality and disposi...

I wanted an female out of a litter of 4M/4F... Only 1F hadn't been spoken for. We came home with her, it was a great well balanced litter. I would have taken any of them. She is turning into a great hunting dog and family member. You'll be fine. Trust yourself. You did your homework.

scout_on_38s

I have 2 buddies that love that cross. Have looked for it when getting new dogs. One even set up the breeding... I've hunted behind their dogs and they work great. They see alot of birds though. Your choice, no matter what you'll have to spend alot of time being consistent. Good Luck.

Since you won't be needing a 3.5 go with the Benelli M2. I have the M1 and love it. I took the wife in a while back to shoulder many guns and she picked the M2. It shoulder as well as my M1. I've shot the piss out of my M1, doves, quail, phesants, turkeys and sporting clays. I love it.

I've been worrying about the same thing with my GSP. She turned 1 the middle of July. She came into heat this week. Just past 13 months. Not to hijack your thread but how long do I need to keep her away from males and hunt/train by herself?

scout_on_38s

Ezzy- My Dad has a similar kennel set up but she stayed in his shorthair's kennel and he kenneled his shorthair with his lab. I took food for him to feed, Diamond stuff that she does well on. I think he said he added some soft stuff (moist and meaty) as a treat a couple times. But pretty similar ken...

I knew that was going to be an option, but I was hoping a last option... About how long is it necessary for them to wear one of those?

scout_on_38s

I sent my dogs to stay with my Dad for 5 days while we were out of town. When I picked her up she had a spot on her back .25 to half dollar size that she had been chewing at with thinned hair. In the last week I've tried to put some anti-itch type stuff on it as well as no chew yuck tasting stuff wi...

Been using BioSpot and haven't had any problems. I'm real happy with it. I get it at Orscheln's I think 16.99 for 3 month dose for heavy dogs.

Hey guys, As well as bird hunting I'm also into hunting other game as most of you are. I'm chair for the Heartland Chapter of the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation. We are having our annual banquet in Topeka, Ks on Aug 16th. If any one is interested in attending let me know. We have some great stuff. I ...

tfbirddog2- I just finished helping my wifes brother in law with harvest and saw really good number of birds as well. I'm ready to get my pup on some wild birds. Planted birds get the job done but wild is so much better.

scout_on_38s

I heard about the haying/grazing of CRP recently too. And as said have to wait until after nesting. They are allowing the grazing and haying to try and keep it in CRP instead farmers of taking it out and putting in crops since grain prices are so high. Sounds like a little give and take to help keep...

Just watched it again Monday night... its great stuff. The above list is all they require. Good Luck- Charlie

If I wasn't going to be in Montana on vacation I had planned on going. Do they have any others scheduled this summer?

scout_on_38s

How did it go? I've been checking out JH test and NA tests to enter my pup in. Seems things are slowing down with warm weather starting to kick in. Hope it went well.--- Charlie

I think everyone on this site has a a great respect for their dogs and the sport of hunting. I think the problem comes into play when that respect is lost through irresponsibility. I personally would look differently on nonhunting breeds, noncollared dogs and dogs that seem "wild" for lack of a bett...

I agree with most of the posts here so far, if you're coming to Kansas plan on hunting Phez. Yeah you might get into a covey maybe 2 per day if you are lucky but right now quail numbers are pitiful. If you want more quail see if you can pay for a day or 2 of hunting in SE KS then move west. My opini...

My Dad put in for Montana Deer/Elk combo but didn't draw... took him 2 tries last time when he drew tags. I'm going to try to get into Ontario this fall for black bear.

I slowly progressed mine from inside to outside. I crated mine in the garage at first, then moved her to the outside kennel in a crate at night and then just in the outside kennel, I would say kennel and and have her go in her dog house before I shut the gate. We still crate her in the garage during...

I just shot him an email, we'll see if there is anyone up this way that carries the 6x20 panels.

Kmack- That looks about like what I would want. Do you know if they have other distributors closer to me in Topeka. Or would I be able to find something similar around here?

scout_on_38s

My inlaws live in Ellinwood (just east of Great Bend). We were out there a couple weeks ago and had some rain. Saw some birds too!! We make it out often in the fall to do some hunting.

Anyone weld up their own kennels. I've looked at costs and can order enough material to make 2 10x10 kennels for the price of 1 prebuilt and bought 10x10 kennel. So I've ordered 1.25in. square tube for the outside and 1in. square tube for the support cross. My question is what type of wire should I ...

I teach biology and have seen some information on this. From my understanding the clone may be close but envornment has so much to do with what you get in the end. You could relate this to a well line bred litter where litter mates go to different homes and the outcomes can be quite different. The c...

Thanks guys for all the responses. Last night it had scabbed over and he hadn't been bothering it. And it didn't seem to bother him as I looked at it. My wife and I are keeping an eye on it though. We do have a large number of the BR's here in Kansas. I see them in the garage often. Thanks again- Ch...

I let my 13yo gsp out this morning and he had a spot on his back that had a little spot of blood and I could tell he had been licking it. When I looked closer he had a small sore that looked kind of like a pimple with a hole in the center of it. I tried to squeeze it but nothing would come out. Ther...

I bought a box of the Fiochi's but haven't had a chance to try them yet. I was thinking the same, if they are good as their pheasant loads they should be pretty devastating.

Good luck with the computer problem. Did you get my email with my address?

What a game I'm not a huge basketball fan but that truely was a great game no matter what the outcome, although I'm awefully glas the Hawks came out on top.

Any chance finding a DK sight in english?

Who are your inlaws? My grandparents are Phil and Anita Fouts. They started Fouts Funeral Home, my uncle Paul owns it now. I have a ton of cousins and aunts and uncles up there too. I make it up that way 4-5 times a year. I got my pup from Scott and Dale Moore in Blair. When is the trial in Eureka? ...

Not that one but I was thinking about coming up for the Hunt Test on the 22nd that they are holding there. I've been meaning to shoot you a PM my family is from Woodbine, Ia which is just up the road from you. I got my pup in Blair, Ne she looks real similar to the black and white pup you have liste...

Most all upland birds taste good wrapped in bacon on the grill. I usually marinate for an hour before in whatever premade stuff I get at the store. Usually add garlic, onion and worstershire sauce. Wrap in bacon and toothpick together. Grill. My wife who is a little picky about game, loves them. I d...

We have an outside kennel for our 2 GSP's and our dogs come inside during the evening and back outside to sleep at night. Works really well. Concrete is a must to help keep them clean so they aren't tracking in all the time. Have plenty of towels ready for when they've been in the yard though and yo...

Never heard of it coming on that young. Tough decision to make. I understand attachment, but I also understand finances. Would the surgery be 100% effective? No problems ever? $10,000 is pretty pricey for a "free" pet. Hate to say it but there are lots of dogs that need rescued. Euthanize and find a...

I've seen some of you mention searching about information on certain dogs. Many of the dogs in my pups pedigree are imports or still overseas. If I wanted to find info on any of the dogs in my pedigree below where should I go? Is there a website? Does anyone recognize any of the names? Thanks- Charlie

scout_on_38s

I'm getting ready to pour more concrete and add another kennel, but my current setup is 8x16 concrete with 6ft chain link fence around it. For my top I took the top rail off the fence and slid PVC T fitting on to it then put it back. Line up the T's opposite of one another and bend 3/4 tubing across...

The Dam of my pup had practically no tail. Horror story went like this, husband had wife take pups in to get docked. I guess he assumed the vet would know what to do. Pups came home with practically no tail. They were very careful when they took her litter in. All the pups had decent tails.

I'll second the low expectations, our first valentines back when we were dating, got her a fishing pole!!! I moved up to perfume on our 4th valentines together.

scout_on_38s

Good deal, you going to go run him the 23-24?

scout_on_38s

Oh she gets after my old dog all the time, sometimes he gets after her too. They chase and nip, slapping each other with their front paws. When they come in the house in the evening, the wife and I'll rough her up some too.

Hey Mav have you had pups yet? Other dog doing ok?

scout_on_38s

I wish.... but don't think the wife would go for 3 dogs. I have a 13yo kenneled next to her. Obviously not as much spunk as her though.

scout_on_38s

She will be 7mo. on the 18th. The outdoor kennel is approximately 8'x8' with dog house, water and food dishes, concrete floor. I know she is young and I'm sure just bored, but wondered if any of you did anything to keep them somewhat entertained during the day. In the evening she comes in the house ...

scout_on_38s

What do some of you do to keep your pup/dog entertained while they are in the outside kennel and you are at work? My pup has been dumping her heated water bowl, so I switched it out for a bucket tied in the corner and now she's chewing on it. She plays hockey with her food bowl, pushing through the ...

My pup seems to be a fan of cat and deer poo!!! Never seen her eat hers or our other shothairs though.

That pic with the coyote is frickin awesome. How did the whole situation turn out? I would guess coyote just took off? Was he bedded down there?

scout_on_38s

Not sure where to get ducks but I suppose you could have a buddy sit on the other side of a pond with ducks and then you and your pup come in and set up. Released ducks would look like they are coming up off the pond? Might check regs. too. Have training license? Controlled shooting area? Definitely...
