Second bird usually needs the tighter choke. No bobwhites here so I'm just on wild gambels and scales. They are fast, And the first bird doesn't always go down. I'm definitely not a pro at the gunfighter draws. Pass shooting ducks and geese is usually done at long ranges. Here anyways. I usually use...

I'm a firm believer in single shots for young shooters. I makes them learn to concentrate on the shot not worrying about getting off a second one. All of my kids learned to shoot and at first hunt with only one shell in the gun. Even if the gun could hold multiple shells only one was loaded. On my ...

The advantage of the double over a single barrel wether It's a semi auto, pump or single shot is the ability to choose a different choke pattern. Front trigger for close birds and the rear for a follow up. Optimal pattern for the situation. And a double trigger double gun is the ultimate tool for me...

The gambels have been a little easier to stop in my experience compared to the scales. The running you describe usually stops in the rough stuff like cactus where they feel safe from predators. The lead bird also dictates the flush, experience counts on how that covey survives. There is a huge covey...

I couldn't imagine a safety concern with "Dogs on 1 side of the fence....horses on the other side" unless one or the other were to get through.

Ezzy, if I may ask what did you keep in the lot's that were encircled with welded wire for 30 years?

gotpointers

I don't expect the welded wire to hold up long for the dogs. Woven horse wire or welded panel will.

My horse has no problems with the birddogs hanging out with him. The blue heeler he doesent care for but she deserves it.

The 220 does fine for me. I don't need features I won't use anyways. It tells the direction, distance and if the dog is on the move or on point. Some great deals on used ones also can be found here and on the field trialer board. There was one lately for 350$

He looks nice georgia. I picked up a couple mountain feist pups this weekend. They are off a long line of champion squirrel treeing dogs. I find the outdoors to be so much more enjoyable with a k-9 companion regardless of the game. SCK I'd like to see more Diemo pictures and progress reports. And s...

Really? Are a lot of parents dropping their kids off at homeless shelters? Far too many people cull their children before they are born because it would be too inconvenient to drop them off at a shelter where people are waiting in line to love them. Human life unfortunately won't make the headlines...

If you cant find the pet store food replacement use some of the dry baby cereal that gets mixed with warm water. Can't remember exactly the name. It's been many years since I had to do that.

I have another question to lay over top of the original. Are those of us who use birds in training unmoral because of the way we use them? For example, I worked for a retriever trainer who would put a litter of pups in a big ex pen then pull the flight feathers off of a pigeon and throw him in the ...

With wild spooky bird's I can't afford to be making noise. I use the vibrate feature on the collar.

I was in Kansas two weeks ago. I do head that way occasionally. It's really light and all aluminum. Dimensional I don't know if USPS would haul it. I shipped a mountain bike to Maryland USPS for 57$ years ago.

I have an aluminum diamond plate two hole box here for a full-size. The top storage box was taken off before I bought it. I think it would fit under the rail. I bought a new one last week to fit my tacoma so I don't need this one. Call or text 505-31963 eighty two for pictures and price.

Sorry about my previous post that was out of context. This is what I was referring to when I was saying it would fill up with trainer services.

I think it will fill up with trainers offering services and will be harder to sift through for sale items.

I wish it was legal here in NM.

It's tough to have one here with housecats, coyotes , poachers and thieves. But I've seen the phantom kennels recall pens in person and they are very nice if you have a spot where they will be left alone. Dan sells plans at phantomkennels.com

Do pointers and setters have stronger natural abilities than the other breeds? Would these two breeds be more likely to train themselves quicker if they were exposed to wild birds? You bet they do, harnessing their abilities is where the work comes in. If you can teach come and stay you have yourse...

Some neat old boxes, I haven't seen the top left two or bottom two until now. Made well before I was born though. I heard they would often shoot the box so they are rare and valuable now. They'd go great in a display with some old decoys.

I use the safeguard goat wormer since the liquid is easier. I've had it miss worms that were caught by the cheap and old reliable peiperzine. At least in young pups anyways.

Reds are still bobwhites. There's plenty of variants of bobwhites being sold. Check out eBay and keyword quail hatching eggs. Orange, whites, Georgia giants, Tennessee reds, Wisconsin Jumbos to name a few. Try a flight pen and use the privacy type screening for the sides. Fill the water and feed onl...

Did the breeders you talked to confirm that a cross to a bobwhite is possible? I raised and hatched every quail except mountain and mearns for years and I don't think they will and haven't seen it yet. But id like to see.

I agree that they are great videos. I was shown how to work dogs by my buddy who was the assistant to professional trainer Harvey Butler back in the early days. Perfect start still would show him a thing or two especially with the e-collars.

Two eggs at at a time, I've also seen the parents lay a new set of eggs before the last pair of babies are out of the nest. Food and warmth are all that deter them from continuation of back to back and overlap clutches. So the answer to your last is varied.

I have seen pups catch parvo between their second and third five way shots. Neopar has a shot schedule at neopar.com that I now follow.
