Since the following is Wisconsin related, I thought to throw it in this thread. The DNR is still deciding about the master plan of Rainbow Springs in Mukwonago WI. There is interest from retriever and pointer circles to push for a class II training grounds. The DNR is still taking on usage requests ...

Being a history buff of sorts, and to not let the good past die, I would like to open this topic to the VERY seasoned bird dog owners whom had the privaledge to handle, raise, or have first hand experiences with some of the highly noted dogs from the various pointing breeds. I would love to see pict...

Sir Frederick Von Flintstone I like that name :) This is what was included with the pedigrees: "Our bloodlines were obtained and breed for one reason, to produce excellent close working hunting companions.

I do not know about the ultimates, but I have the supermags in both waist highs and chest and both are toast toasty...Had them now for a few years and they are pretty durable.

Got pedigrees just now..Sounds like one puppy is left for sale.

With the topic in hand, I had sent an email to the seller to see if I can get a legit issued pedigree on the litter's sire and dam. Would be interesting to see what is on it. Hopefully I get something back. I think how mountaindogs commented was appropriate. What he is talking about is deemed public...

In the ad the visit our website works. Pretty interesting and diverse business by the way. Their website shows pictures of some dogs in the upland bird hunts link. The dogs in the pictures look like the same couple of dogs (guide dogs perhaps owned by the seller?). Could be what the seller referred ...

I wonder if these cases of salmonella habitually washed their hands, and dog's bowls after feeding? I wonder if they let their dogs lick them right after they eat?

My dad used to buy Diamond by the pallet for years. No dogs died, no salmonella symptoms. Not trying to argue...just stating facts......

The only time I see a dog shiver is from two things:

1. anxiety or excitement
2. trying to keep warm

millerms06

Good job!! You remembered all your lines!!! :D I am glad Morgen didn't screw up her lines either :lol: So far I have never been in a commercial that required lines. But if I did, my professional background would kick in. It was fun and the takes with the dog went really well. I am glad I gave her t...

You forgot to bring a gun.

Thought this might be a cool thing to share with you. I had the opportunity to take on a commercial spot wearing my hunting gear and have my favorite dog by my side (sort of :D ). Even tried to give the local NAVHDA chapter I belong to a free plug by wearing our hat. :wink: They liked how the dog an...

Sounds like a great time! Go get em'!!!

The four we had gotten earlier in the season are already eaten, I hear ya on the grouse. Going to be up north for a few days starting Thursday. Hopefully we will get to go out and get some more too!

millerms06

I hope everyone is having a great hunting season so far. The season has been good to me and my dogs. Morgen and I have had the opportunity to help out with some of our state's learn to hunt weekends for Pheasant and Waterfowl. Morgen got to retrieve some ducks and I had a blast with every kid I got ...

Hunting rabbits with spaniels is totally different than hunting rabbits with beagles or other trail running dogs. When it comes to nose, there really isn't much difference. And that was all I was getting at. DonF brought up an application for beagles I have always saw during a hunting situation. I ...

Working on tracking and making sure the dog doesn't back track much if any, and how quickly the dog can handle check work (lost the scent and then picks it up to track further). Whenever my dad and I have discussions about his field trial beagles, those are usually the topics we discuss. The drag in...

Garrett, Did you work with a whistle in the yard yet? It would be a pretty good idea to introduce this in the yard first and then slowly work it in out in the field once she assimilates what blasts means what. One long one means whoa, two means to cast left and right (depending on which way I start ...

Glad to hear you were kind enough to help find a downed bird for another hunter. My young GSP has had a couple hunting weekends already doing water retrieves and finding a cripple here and there. The lab owners give me weird looks, and sometimes say "pheasant season isn't open yet." But they do not ...

All three dogs look really great. Your whole weekend is one I hope to have down the road someday. A very sincere congratulations.

Been using 3 inch bb for a couple of seasons so far in both the Benelli and Franchi 12 gauges using a modified choke. So far so good.

"If it has ground corn and poultry by products it will probably do your hard working dogs well." My vet told me to stay away from any food that had corn, or meat by products. He told me the 1st 5 ingrediants will tell the story. If they look ok, your probably good to go. I have been using the 4 hea...

Definitely pull the primary flight feathers off one wing, yes the front half, and pull some of the breast feathers onuhunter mentioned. Another trick that can help is wet the bird a tad if the scenting conditions are less than favorable. More success during training the better I say! Distance can be...

Sorry, the OP's woodcock and grouse do not require the "killing power" of a duck, goose or even, wild pheasant. Choose the load correctly, point correctly, trigger correctly and go pick up the dead woodcock. :roll: Yes, birdhunters are required to make decisions.....that would appear obvious, even ...

millerms06

It is my sincere hope the anti hunting, tree huggers at US Fish and Wildlife will be replaced with people that have actually hunted, and the non-toxic shot nonsense will end. As a devil's advocate: It is hard for that to happen when aftermarket choke companies market their chokes to "shorten shot s...

Hunted up in northern wisconsin this morning: 11 grouse finds. Took two shots and had one in the bag. Breakfast was delicious!!
Total hunt time was 2.5 hours.

Heading further north for this afternoon.

I think there isnt anything wrong with what your doing, and I do it myself with my dogs. But I would pull it off of the wall just incase there was a miss step by her. I also have a pull tab on the collar so if they miss a beat it shuts down. Saftey first. Love the enthusiasm! I hear ya. I never lea...

A couple of gripes is that clubs need to be more creative in how they use grounds. A dog isn't going to want to stick in an area that has no cover. A dog will stay in that area if it: 1. only ranges thirty yards from the handler or sometimes less on a consistent basis 2. Is not allowed to independen...

My point in my prior posts is that many of us that are active here and other places are in it for the dogs and everything else is secondary. From most of what I see this is not the case with the general bird hunting public. If we were not the exception clubs would never struggle to fill up tests an...

I am not following? Weekend warriors don't like watching good dogs and good dog work? I am sure some do.

I have tried to get Scott convinced he should do a grouse hunt in the Great Lakes States...nothing planned yet. Would be nice to see that or a pheasant and waterfowl combo hunt with the same sets of dogs.

Congrats! Good looking dog. Sounds like he will be a good one this hunting season.

millerms06

The main premise of an introduction to birds at this stage is to increase the dog's prey drive and overall boldness. While it is neat to see a dog point a bird, searching relentlessly for them is far more important at your pup's point in time. What I like to do is show the bird to the pup, while I a...

You can look at the pedigree of my oldest V Myla. She has tons of energy to burn and hunts like a champ.
