Or just aluminum thick enough to have some stiffness....wood will get nasty eventually with pee and wash down water

birddog1968

Sheet aluminum.

I've been moving my dogs into woodcock this week....we've never hunted woodcock. When they bump a bird I bark WHOA ! and fire the blank gun....doesn't take many to get the point (pun intended).

birddog1968

Yes the 1 percent cattle injectable is considered undiluted ad it relates to the link I gave.

birddog1968

But also .10 of a cc per 20lbs is also plenty. There are threads on here to search with the math.

This is a good link to understand dose.

Alcohol abuse causes disease in every major organ in the body and is physically and mentally addictive... That bout wraps up its status as a harmful drug. Like any substance including candy there is use and there's abuse. How many kids start by sneaking alcohol from parents or friends parents cabine...

birddog1968

Are alcohol and tobacco gateway drugs? What about canned air......

Best thing a society can do is raise its children right....the rest sorts itself out that way.

+100 to chukar12's post.

And I've had my dogs hunted by yotes in ND and NE.as well as had two yotes circling a dozen pointers on stakeouts at night. The ranchers I stay with had one trying to break in the whelping shed with two litters and their mothers inside. Its not common but they are opportunistic if the chance arises....

birddog1968

PGC LOL....it happens when and if they get a chance which doesn't happen very often. The effectiveness of coyote hunting with decoy dogs proves that given the chance they will kill dogs. The fact that yotes do their best to not put themselves in a loosing situation as all wild predators do, prevents...

birddog1968

Way to go Gary ! strong showing....

birddog1968

Call TT but they will probably refer you to Collarclinic.com

birddog1968

At 6 .months I let em do a little bump and chase.... Stress on little....real training starting soon after, depending on the dog of course....prior to that I've got them coming when called and have them crazy for retrieving bumpers from land and water. Other than that I'm just happy timing on walks ...

birddog1968

All my dogs were taught to respect my bird pens (2000 chukar, 100 phez and 200 quail) and my free range chickens (25 at times) without issue....consistency and patience......that said don't turn your back until its firmly engrained.

birddog1968

I looked it up Sharon and edited my post...thought it sounded familiar and its rare. Pithyosis insidiosim. Terrible thing to watch. My above description occurred in the mid Atlantic region .. .

birddog1968

Horses get it and its fairly treatable in the cutaneous form, I had a friends lab that had the internal form and it killed the dog despite all efforts. The dog couldn't hold anything down and would throw up what looked like coffee grinds. I remember there being no real treatment for the internal for...

birddog1968

Fella used to post here named Craig has a NAVHDA VC Pointer.....

birddog1968

Want to see if yotes attack dogs, go to pleasant hill productions Facebook page and read and see what happed at the Virginia amateur AA Trial the other day.

birddog1968

Have, could more, but don't, really no point in it for me personally.

birddog1968

Grass awns shouldn't be a problem this time of year.

birddog1968

I've taken care of a mess of dogs in and out of crowded kennels and never seen anything like that. I too would follow the vets advice. I might also call around and email pictures to some university vet hospitals.

Hope you find an answer.

birddog1968

The ranch I lease in Nebraska had a pack of 11 causing all kinds of mischief. Ranchers said they don't normally shoot yotes unless there's a trouble maker....but said they had to deal with that pack around their cows and homestead.

birddog1968

Trap, skeet and match

birddog1968

In future contacts you need to read the dog and make corrections before a fight starts...after the fact won't help. And the more it happens the more engrained it will become. Good luck, let's hope he was just protecting himself. I have one that I have to manage but he,s one of the best birddogs I ev...

birddog1968

I realize everything can't and won't be made here....in all actuality we produce more now in the US than ever before....its just not low value products for everyday use....its high value products not used by the vast majority of us. I had just hoped maybe just maybe our e collars could have remained...

birddog1968

I'd rather pay the higher price for made here....also don't need gimics on a pro model system.

birddog1968

We pay 33.91 here which includes 6% sales tax.

Your naturals will be right at 43.00 and assuming we only see the 5% increase ours will be around 34.60.

I still don't get the logic of spiking price on one formula...must have something to do with your margin on the others.

birddog1968

Just out of curiosity, what was your price on naturals chix and rice, pre price hike?

birddog1968

Took the whole hit or put the whole hit.....and what would be the reasoning there?

birddog1968

Will not cross.... Whole new deal

birddog1968

I kinda thought garmin would do this, was lamenting it when they bought TT. correct me if I'm wrong but I took it as there would be no more 100 or 200 and the ones shown will be it???

birddog1968

Snow especially crusty snow will tear up any dogs feet...I too use Epsom salt. I also use cut heal ( from tractor supply) on slipped or raw pads and edges of pads. As well as bag balm on dry cracked pads.

birddog1968

I will have to wait and see....the bark collar seems gimicy....but being a pro model maybe there's a pro that would be worried about that. I'm gonna snap up another G3 transmitter and a couple collars...that oughta last the rest of my life.

birddog1968

Yes I could see that working well, we had a lab here find a guy in 120 ft of water as the dog stood on the bow of the boat...amazing.

birddog1968

A pointer in that situation would likely end up a broken bloody mess.

Cadaver dogs smell body gasses and that takes some time and I can only guess that maybe that mud is so tight scent has trouble escaping.

birddog1968

If the dog thinks there is a possibility for another bird on the find they wont move their head. Don't force the style out of him. I agree with this, and sometimes the looking around is a sign of " I'm feeling pressure " precursor to tail letting down and more you don't want to get to. Might be tim...

My dogs do great on it....if its true. Personally I think this article is nonsense. I guess we are supposed to take a blog as some infallible source????

Funny her blog post was deleted from petmd......wonder why....something to do with unicorn flatulence maybe? Lol.

birddog1968

Wish NRA helped the hunting community and the slow steady backdoor efforts of the animal rights groups....they are after our gun rights too, just in a sneaky stealthy way.

birddog1968

You do realize these dogs spend the summer on the northern prairie finding wild birds don't you? Visit while they are there.

birddog1968

Animal rights and hsus's plan of death by regulation.....it won't stop at docking and dew claws. Look at the ban on prong collars and e collars....this is a full assault and elected officials are allowing themselves or ate fully complicit in allowing a radical minority to dictate what good people ca...

birddog1968

I've seen to many dogs die from HW, move down to southern Maryland for a summer then try your holistic nonsense....HW IS A KILLER.

Foxes die from it like any other canine.

birddog1968

Nope and if you read back I stated I wasn't and that no internet posting should be followed except to seek a vet. Grow up.

birddog1968

I see....it was posted to another forum and I assumed it was something USDA worked up....my fault.

birddog1968

I second what Don says, he may seem immune to shots but when a bird gets up and more than one person starts banging away that could change for the worst. This is the point extreme care should be taken, make him right and you have the rest of his life to enjoy him. There are plenty of threads here on...

birddog1968

Anyone seen this form from USDA?

http://www.agriculture.gov.ie/media/mig ... 070314.pdf

birddog1968

This is all in the vein of hsus's policy to overburden dog breeders with so much regulation as to make more and more pure bred breeders fold up.

birddog1968

+1 ....somethings require legislation....some don't.

More gov control isn't needed here and I question where this bill came from. Sounds HSUS'ish. A beginning to an end.

birddog1968

You beat me to it Evan..... That would have been where I was going next.

birddog1968

Gary is a good guy, I bought a Damascus grandson from him years ago....dog was a bit of a hard head but Damascus was known for that....took awhile to get him right....he is now hunting grouse in Maine and his owners love him as the send me emails from time to time.
