It may take some doing but I'd LOVE to make the trip out there! I'll pm you by tomorrow at the latest! Me and my Gray Ghost just may pull it off!

Bird Dog 67

Good work! Another notch on the Mathews!

Bird Dog 67

I'd have to go with a late season pheasant.

Bird Dog 67

I'm sorry to hear of your great loss. I hope you can find comfort in the memories that you shared with your buddies in the coming days.

Bird Dog 67

My belief is that if you have to ask this particular question you already know the answer. It's the final and greatest act of kindness that we can give to our canine pals as difficult as it may be. JMHO

Anybody else expecting to open this thread and see puppy pics? Congratulations.............she's and absolute angel!

Hi All, I'm looking at buying a .40 cal semi auto handgun for home and range. Right now I'm going back and forth between a Glock (if one can be found these days) and a Sig............any input as to which would be a good go to gun? If there are opinions on other brands as well I'd appreciated. Thank...

Bird Dog 67

Thanks for the replies. Being my first bird dog, I was a little paranoid about it at first. And I agree he's a young guy and has really taken off growth wise in the last week or so. I can hope for the best and see how it looks down the road. There haven't been any signs of pain or discomfort and he...

I road my Weim along side my bike on a mix of blacktop, pavement, grass, and gravel and STILL have to trim his nails once every couple of weeks. I've tried to keep them trimmed back as far as possible but without fail, they continue to grow long. Each is different in some aspect I'm assuming.

I thought this was a great read and appropriate for this forum:

GREAT pictorial and essay!!!

If any Moderators read this post I would like to nominate this as a Hall of Fame Post!!!!

I use Neosporin on a regular basis and it works just fine. Give it a go.

Bird Dog 67

I have seen those Pedimate (?) rotarys on tv...I wonder if those are junk. Denise The PediPaws are junk! The only reason I tried one is that the local WalGreens had them so I thought I'd give it a go. They barely have enough power to turn the drum and bogged down IMMEDIATELY when applied to the nai...

According to the internet the longest living dog was 29 yrs and 5 months - an austrailian shepard If it's on the internet it HAS to be true! Just joshin'. Our first dog growing up was a collie that lived just past 18 1/2 years old..................Gypsy. She was a fabulous dog, one day she just dec...

Bird Dog 67

He looks like a keeper to me! Where'd you get him?

Bird Dog 67

PLEASE don't let this get to be a William Wegman type of deal.

Bird Dog 67

I went last year to Minneapolis and have to say, to me it wasn't worth the money. Nothing stood out as making it much different than any other "Outdoors Sports Show".........not saying it was bad, just my opinion.

Bird Dog 67

For low and slow cooking you can add a dark beer or some coffee and it addresses any gaminess. For steaks and such..............butters and onion is the way to go.

Bird Dog 67

BEAUTIFUL! Love the pics! Been hitting the local pheasants as well, not quite as extreme as SD but Sunday was brutal here in WI!

Bird Dog 67

I was almost POSITIVE that I'd open this thread; Speaking of frozen semen.........................it was -18 degrees here this morning!

Bird Dog 67

What do i absolutely need in a bird gun? - A couple more to keep the first one company!

Sorry I couldn't resist.

Bird Dog 67

That's a Booner!!!! How long are those tail feathers!?!?!?!?

Bird Dog 67

You feed your dog 12 cups of food a day!?!?!?!? Wow, does he have a tape worm? 66 lbs is very well within the normal range for the breed as I recall.

"Most owners are not going to know what the proper correction would be when they here the bones crunch on a bird, the wrong correction could make matters worse. Life is a lot easier just by avoiding noise making toys. And Yes this is a problem that I have had first had experiences with." In my opini...

Bird Dog 67

You're right.............................maybe if a dog was never trained to know the difference between a ball, or a squeak toy and an actual game bird and the intended purposes of each then it might be possible that a resulting hard mouth may result. Again the key to both of my statements lay in t...

Bird Dog 67

I believe the greater percentage in this case is incorrect or lack of correction rather than a toy. A dog's "intelligence", smarts, now how, or whatever you want to call it are great enough to discern the difference between a toy and game if and when trained. And if a dog doesn't hold enough smarts ...

I've heard this MANY times and have yet to talk to one person that has experienced this in actuality. Anybody.............?

They used to do the trick for me too until the prices went absolutely ridiculously through the roof! Great loads though.

Bird Dog 67

Thanks crackerd. Wasn't aware of that. At this stage in the game I use the the retrieves more for excercise than training. I went with the rubber bumper due to durability and cost issues. Dusty has a very good mouth on his retireves I've not had any problems in that area. I appreciate the feedback!

Bird Dog 67

I have a two parter that I'm interested in hearing other's experiences on: #1 I recently bought a new hard rubber retrieving bumper, it's orange. My dog seems to have greater difficulty picking this bumper up by sight than others that I've used including white canvas, and Dokken dummies. Is this jus...

Bird Dog 67

Another option that I use is Neosporin Triple Antibiotic Salve.

If you'd be willing to fly me in..................................

Seriously wish I lived nearby. Good luck Matt!

Bird Dog 67

I had the privilege of doing this very thing early this fall. With the proper pre-hunt instruction/do's & don'ts I found the kids to be safer than many adults I've hunted with in my life.

Bird Dog 67

OUTSTANDING!!!

Bird Dog 67

Had a buddy lose his elderly golden up in that area a couple of years ago, overnight and into the following day. We feared the worst as well but did the rounds, knocked on doors and left descriptions and contact numbers with everybody in the area. He got home and not an hour later got a call from a ...

I've used G96 Complete Gun Treatment for years and absolutely love it!

Bird Dog 67

Anybody else feel like they could just step right into those pictures? Awesome, simply top notch!

Bird Dog 67

Sorry for your loss.......................I think I would've liked Dexter............the stories remind me a lot of myself growing up! Revel in the good memories!

Bird Dog 67

Sounds like the perfect case for a bird launcher. Dog gets birdy but keeps creeping, pop the launcher. He will learn not to crowd/bump the birds and start locking up upon scenting.

Would you do this?

I would DEFINITELY use a rat terrier for shark bait!

GSP 4 me - That last photo is AWESOME!!!

As with everything else, the key is exposure and as with every dog, the reaction may differ from one to the next. Have fun with it and make it a positive experience!

Bird Dog 67

I'll have to wait for a bailout for my next pup

Bird Dog 67

Sorry to hear about your loss Will. Looks like you had a keeper there...........

Bird Dog 67

Anybody have a site that I can get some Otomax without a prescription? Thanks!

Bird Dog 67

Shoot it...........plain and simple. You're right on being concerned about not only your dogs safety but your family's as well. One warning/talk with the neighbor and then end it.

Bird Dog 67

I'm leaving now.......................call with final directions!

Bird Dog 67

California you say....................? Could've been a rapid liberal.....................

My apologies if this is too close to a political comment.

Bird Dog 67

I just broke my dog from climbing pine trees and problem solved!

In all seriousness, I agree with the rubbing alcohol or a nail polish remover on a cotton ball will wipe off the majority of the pitch as well.
