Our Brookings County PF group held our annual youth hunt last weekend. 21 graduates of the S.Dak. SafeHunt classes were invited with their parents/guardians. We meet at our local gunclub for a safety review followed by some trap and a pheasant silloute to pattern their guns on. After about a hour of...

Well written,thanks.

I might be wrong but 4 10" boxes are prob better. I think the drive to nest will overcome any changes in the nesting arrangement for the birds. I also believe there is food which encourages nesting. Someone had a tip about easy to maintain nesting boxes. If I recall a 10" board with 2 bricks wedged ...

Thanks for the replies. "Sugar" got me to due a little research and I found that honey actually works better then sugar!
Both displace moisture cutting down on bacteria. Because, of the granules , sugar is slighly abrasive therefore honey works better.

Glued a nickel in the slide. Can still pivot but wont come out. Why would it need to detach?

weimdogman

So after losing my xmitter twice because the clip came detached I did this.

weimdogman

Thanks Its not my fight. If it was........

weimdogman

Great when it comes together!
Nice stylish pup. You should be proud!

Thanks for the link

Going to check out the sportdog collars.

My collar riveted on doesnt sit right on the the neck and catches debris so its no bueno.

weimdogman

Arent the gundog collars of the same construction?

I need to check out Sportdog collars
Is that the brand ?

weimdogman

Curious what problems?

Mine seemed to have connectivity/ range problems and would go off on movement when in bark collar mode. Actually shocked me while handling.

weimdogman

Having trouble with a pt10 collar so I called up customer service. They were polite and are sending me a replacement. They have no records of any of the 6 collars and 4 transmitters I have registered with them ? Perhaps out of warranty drops items? They have previously sent me a alpha handheld warra...

weimdogman

Antibacterial like neosporin or just bagbalm?
Cuts are from dogs rolling in the grass play not fighting.

weimdogman

Pop rivets and washers to make a solid connection.

1 inch collar that is easier to buckle and has a D ring.

My solution to their poor design.
Not sure how it will hold up

weimdogman

Thanks for the replies.

I talked to a vet from my navhda group and she assured me blue green algae is toxic even in small amounts.

Now I need to try and learn to identify it?

weimdogman

Do dogs build up some immunity to algae?
My dogs are always drinking from ditches,ponds and creeks and nothing seems to bother them.

weimdogman

Called GunDog Supply. They are most helpfull. They are aware of the collar problem but their's is of similar construction. I asked about anything else and Drew mentioned the quick release nylon collars but he added they are not as secure.

weimdogman

Those gundog supply appear to be the same crappy collar.
Somebody tell me I am wrong!

weimdogman

Electronics are fine but this clad collar with cloth in the middle is horrendous for heavy usage.
Their roller collar replacements are better/easier if not in 100% condition but still poor.
Collars have to be so thin to pass thru/around device that I cant find a good replacement?

weimdogman

Thanks for the replies.
Dogs attitude is great

He wants to play fetch when he isnt spinning in circles trying to lick himself. That cone is not his friend!

5 days ago I had a 18 month old male neutered. Vet said there is a problem he has swelled up. He noticed the the dog urinated a orange stream so asked about a uti? I told him not that I know of but dog is prone to drink 2x the water of his littermates but has been checked and isnt diabetic. He confi...

I hunted whitetails 40 years ago. Shot 1 with the bow and 3 with the rifle. Started hunting pheasants with dogs and we kept finding dead deer-arrows sticking out -or guys in pickups on the road looking for their wounded deer. Helped 4 or 5 guys find their deer while we bird hunted. Wasnt legal then ...

So I bought a replacement PT10 collar for my SportPro. Barklimiter works the same, autorise or set stimulation level. To set stim level. Dial to aux Press top button While flashing green move dial to a stim # Press top button again. When solid green goes off, barkcollar is set to correct at the desi...

If I understand the OP , just go on and try to train any 2 dogs in the seperate ways. You will learn plenty about both "systems". Yes , as a earlier reply mentioned more dogs , would offer more evidence of how the systems work.

Press on and keep us posted.

My 3 weims are on a 22-14 food 4 cups a day. They all weigh about 70. Get quite a bit of exercize almost daily.They are just too thin. Tops of hip bones are visible.I have fed more but this seems to be about the correct amount judging by their stools. I. Want to add olive oil to fatten them up a lit...

So I recently saw a litter of black and white gsp that had a thick coat. Not long haired but a coat more like labs. Guy said he had dna test and it came back gsp. I know in Weims their is a recessive gene that produces long hairs and a recessive gene that produces a thick coat. Anybody know of gsp w...

weimdogman

There are 2 options
Auto rise increases with barking
Set level of shock

I only asked about the wear duration as I wonder about having a seperate bark collar being a advantage?

I wouldnt leave a collar on for a solid week

weimdogman

So some Garmin trainingcollars have built in bark collars. Garmin cautions against leaving trainingcollars on the dogs for extended periods. How is the bark collar unit different in this regard? Is it okay to leave a bark collar on for say a week? Also anyone experiance a training collar , set to ba...

Train your dog to be steady to birds PERIOD. Train with a group so dog is able to ignore strange dogs and strange :P people. Train your dog to be steady on birds PERIOD. I failed a na test because a previously planted chuckar ran right in front of my dog before we got into the bird field. As most kn...

weimdogman

Seems to me you build your pen with a small call back holding area. Dont lose all the birds if some thing gets in

Running 2 na dogs on Sunday.
Anyone here going to be there?

weimdogman

Midwest Tri States NAVHDA is around SiouxFalls,S.Dak. and plan on 2 AKC tests. Might contact them.

Funny bear story from 30 years ago. Guy in town has a pet blackbear he walks in the park. Bubba is in the park with his "125 pound-solid muscle" lab. Tells bear owner better watch your bear as my dog may git em. Dog walks over to a tree where bear had been. Pisses all over himself. Bear owner yells ...

Nascon, funny thing I had plenty of pigeons, pen raised quail&chuckar to train with. My female pup wouldnt point them. Didnt really care to "hunt" for them. Maybe too much pressure too early? Anyways first real contact with a wild pheasant while hunting and she was a grey statue. Have had no issues ...

weimdogman

Has anyone seen this as a problem in their dogs? I dont mean it has occured, I mean real issues because of it.
I researched it some and wonder how severe a misaligned bite has to be to experiance the issues discussed?

weimdogman

Thanks for the updates and great photos.

Anybody else still at it?

weimdogman

Super lucky to be here in South Dakota Pheasant Capitol of the World. Lucky enough to have time and access to areas to train my 3 weims who just turned a year old. Able to hunt great land with freinds and family. Last 2 weeks I have probably seen more birds then most see in a whole season. Lots of p...

The other afternoon I called my friend who has a large farming operation. We worked a cedar grove and drove/flushed about a 100 birds. Never had a shot. So we worked some nearby grass areas and got a couple points and 1 bird which made for a nice - chase - retreive. We loaded up and were headed out ...

weimdogman

I apologize for the poor post quality and dont understand why the pic flipped sideways. In that 1 pic 1 is on point,1is backing, and the best dog is telling me they aint here!

weimdogman

We limited out between this piece and a 40 acre crp. Dogs had some good points and retreiving is better everytime we go. I knocked down 2 birds out of 1 rise and was concerned about 1 as it wasnt hit hard. The dogs hadnt been able to mark it down I called 1 over and he immediatly came up with that b...
