That does not bode well for the marriage...

Is it out of the question to put up a fence?

Just a reminder that we don't name names in situations like this. It's been absolutely great so far. Don't want this to go in a bad direction.

I believe that Grant sold Perfect Pedigrees to Steve Snell along with GDF. Emailing Grant is going to be useless. Suggest you PM "admin" through this site.

Certain individual tossed with prejudice.

You're thinking about great dogs, good beer and bad, bad women...

PMs are completely private. I'f the NSA wanted them, they could probably do so, but the moderators have no access at all. The site admin could get to them if he wanted to put a ton of work into it. But, get real, neither the NSA nor the site admin give a rip.

Al, I believe that Mr Reed said that the trials that he attends are in MI, on public grounds, that he pays taxes on. Since he pays taxes on them, he is entitled to reasonable accommodation of his disability. What is reasonable and what is not is, pardon the pun, reasonable to debate. Not knowing Mr ...

I should have been more expansive in my post, but I'm at daughter's lacrosse league, doing one finger hunt and peck on the iPad. Fundamentally, with some distractions, we are having a discussion about what is a reasonable accommodation and what unreasonably changes the sport. There are parts of the ...

When the field trials are conducted on public land, they come under public rules. To wit, civil rights. To segregate disabled field trailers in trials on public land when reasonable accommodations could be made would IMHO constitute "separate but equal", the illegality of which is settled law.

Welcome to GDF! Also, thank you for your service to our country.

I'm moving this to General Chat so that it will get more views and, hopefully, thoughtful replies.

I won't dignify your "South of The Mason Dixon" confederate 1939 German attitude with a response. Mr. Reed, I, personally, support the ADA. Further, I support, specifically, the reasonable accommodations you have received and, more generally, reasonable accommodations for handicapped people in fiel...

2 pounds of ground meat of your choice. I use 50-50% turkey and pork that I buy already ground at Kroger. 2 pieces of bacon, cooked crisp on the microwave, crumbed as fine as possible. ½ to 1 tablespoon salt. I use 1/2 2 teaspoons black pepper 1 teaspoon sage 1 teaspoon dried parsley flakes ¼ teaspo...

I use apple cider vinegar some of the time. It's one thing that I vary to get a different taste. I get tired of doing the recipes any one way. I'm always varying the wood I use, the kind of vinegar, variety of molasses, etc. In the tangy sauce, I use apple cider a lot. In the KC-style sauce, not so ...

Welcome to GDF!

I don't think that adelaide887 is going to respond. Further, I don't think that avatar is really a picture of whomever created the account. Not too many folks in Bejing that look like that and are really interested in GDF.

If you're talking about full-up formal training...steady to wing, shot, and fall, on point and back...

I'd wait till the pup is at least 12 months old...give him a full season of hunting wild birds, then take him to the trainer.

Tangy BBQ Sauce.

viewtopic.php?f=104&t=31361

Note the part about being better after being in the frig over night.

If you want something more tangy than KC sauce, try this. 1-1/4 cup Hienz Chili Sauce 3 cups Hunts or Heinz Ketchup. No cheapie stuff. 1 cup Yellow Mustard. I use Heinz 1 cup Light Brown Sugar 1/2 cup Honey 1/4 cup Lea and Perrins Worchestershire sauce 1/4 cup Vinegar. I use a white wine vinegar. Tr...

Here is a good KC-style sauce http://gundogforum.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=104&t=31016 . Note the comment about adding honey to make a glaze. I like the KC style when sweet is in order. Best fresh made right out of the sauce pan. I have a different sauce, almost as easy to make, that I like for pull...

It depends on the dog and the situation. One of the most common is a dog without an ecollar chasing a deer into the next country. They seem to lose their brains and think about nothing but the deer. I lost a pup that way years ago for about 12 hours. It was gut wrenching. Since then, I never take th...

GREAT NEWS!

I like the vinyl collars. They clean up easy. Get a brass name tag riveted to it...don't rely on a tag attached with a split ring.

Welcome to GDF!

Print up a flyer with a picture and your contact information. Go door to door in the area that he was last seen. LEOs, mail carriers, etc. anyone that drives the roads in the area. Basically, you are trying to recruit as many eyes as possible in the area that spend a lot of time there. I had somethi...

11 lbs is wrong. Not without 4 lbs of lead in the stock. There might not be enough room in the stock for that much lead, come to think of it.

I have had to use tungsten in the past to get benchrest rifles up to the weight limit. It's almost twice as dense as lead.

A crate is your friend. Might also need a bark collar.

Another handy trick to end counter surfing is to put mouse traps on the edge of the counter and gently cover them with a paper towel.

Do you shoot with with both eyes open?

...but when one hears multiple professional trainers that have proven results recommend the same method over and over...

Welcome to GDF!

When I lived in Ft. Worth, I came to love Amarillo...was stranded there traveling on ski trips 3 years in a row.

Correct, Sharon. If the group here sees something that seems "off", they're going to question it.

Sometimes, the "off" is something new and better. Sometimes the "off" is just different. Sometimes the "off", after debate, doesn't stand up.

Greg J.

Sorry you had a bad experience.

Been on here since the beginning and you're the only person I remember having trouble with TT.

Which is 1/8th mile in practice...which is 220 yards.

I've had all three as well.

I like the discrete vs analog stimulation setting of the TT and DT. I definitely did NOT like the jump stimuation of the DT. Felt it was too much to keep up with.

The general concensus on GDF seems to be that Tri-Tronics has the best customer service.

Range is how far the transmitter will talk to the collar. It doesn't impact stimulation. An e-collar is like a walkie-talkie. Instead of voice, it sends a message that says "stimulate at this level".

Greg J.

The reason that we might not let it be is that the method described conflicts with what other experienced trainers promote. In the future, someone might search the archives and get the wrong idea.

What I would tell you about any e-collar is that when you look at the range is under good conditions and to bet on half of it for worst case.

They'll have something that fits your pocketbook. Look around, you can find discounted prices. You can also frequently find them on Ebay.

Greg J.

Usability, reliability, customer service, battery life, charge time.

Bite the bullet and get a Tri-Tronics. You'll be happy that you did.

HuntSmith Puppy I and II. Lots of great advice. The tone is a little boring, but that calm, even tone is one of the big things that they're trying to get across.

I started my kids on a cut down Remington 1100 in 28 ga. I reload so the cost wasn't a factor. The 28 will hit like a 20 and kick like a 410.

I don't want them catching birds. I do shoot a cap pistol behind my back and at the ground at a distance from the pup when in full chase of a bird. The shot is thus associated with something super fun.

Welcome Chris. I'm over south of Dayton. Used to shoot a lot of skeet; grew up in the Nashville Gun Club.

The bottom line, Kiki, is that you should have handled it privately without airing it out in public in front of half of the WWW. You generated a lot of aggravation, a considerable amount of work, and one person to blow up enough that he quit GDF. I'm posting this here rather than PM in the hopes tha...

so thats why i asked the mods why couldnt ANY person who is PROVEN to rip a member off on here be banned and their ad be deleted.. We do this already. Have done it pretty much since the beginning. With the caveat that PROVEN is much easier said than done. Just get really tired of this coming up ove...

Welcome to GDF!

Looks to me like the package is on its way if the post office hasn't lost it.

EDIT: One picture removed by Greg at OP's request.
