luke0927

Well I'm still using an older TT pro 200 it works great so haven't had a reason to upgrade but i have finally lost on of the rubber plugs that cover the charging outlet on the collar. I sent TT and email but does anyone had to order these before if so where did you get them?

Thanks

luke0927

luke0927

Grant Im in GA too and need a box but cant decide what to go with where you able to get it in GA or did it have to be shipped in? I've looked a dura custom and a few others but haven't decided yet.

luke0927

luke0927

yep maybe 1/2" must have been young one? I don't think it could have been a spider that would be too big for anything in GA.

luke0927

What do you think...this is about 2 weeks after it happened.

Thanks For all the replies! I really want to try and get into some quail...this will be my first year out so i guess it's just going to be a learning experience

If i caught some one trying to steal one of my dogs it would be just like trying to burglarize my home or kidnap my kids....they would be leaving my property in a bag. you got to be real low to steal dog like that...... I guess if you have high value dogs or big trial dogs you need to invest the mon...

luke0927

I really like hearing about your dogs the they are reall nice glad Gent made a great recovery.....Luckily im in GA....If everything works out i hope to add an EP pup to my house in the near future and I will definitely be talking to Ya'll....!

luke0927

I purchased one of the 20ga O/U and have no complaints. Only used it a few times as its too dang hot to want to go shoot right now. It does feel great, swings great, and shoots where you aim it. Feel I got my moneies worth thats for sure. Don't think you will be disappointed with it especially if g...

Tape comes from consuming fleas right? so if you don't have a flea problem you should be OK with those.....What do whips usually come from.

luke0927

I normally shoot my benelli auto but need a break open for FT and something basic to get my wife into shooting...anyone else have any opinions on this gun? I was thinking about trying to find a used Citori or CZ something like that but for now i really wouldn't want to spend a lot of money unless sh...

luke0927

Thanks this sounds like what i need to do...so i can buy it right from the web no need to for a vet to have to sign off or anything?

OK heartgard plus 50-100 for 4 dogs is getting expensive now! How many people admenister ivermectin themselves....Do you just measure it off with a mcg syrninge and as long as you know the exact weight its safe to use correct? I use very strict flea control around the keenels so i don't have fleas s...

luke0927

Thanks that sounds like a good idea I'll work on narrowing down my area i want to stay in and find the town thats about right in the middle and call around

We'll I've decided im heading to KS this November instead of messing with Hotels I want to take my paretns nice 28' camper...I'm still working on narrowing down my main spots for hunting...are you allowed to camp on public land or do you have to find a designated camping area (how are they with dogs...

luke0927

Luke - What you did is about all I have ever done wth my dogs. I keep the pup on a checkcord because even though my horses are pretty mellow, something sinking its teeth in their foot is lilely ot elicit a pretty explosive response. I don't want the dogs playing with the horses, I want them to be j...

luke0927

Whats the best way you like to introduce dogs to horses? These are dogs that didn't grow up around horses...My family has horse but they aren't kept on another property....Here in GA i won't be hunting horse back but i got to thinking that this fall at hunt test or FT im sure there will be horses......

luke0927

Yes they have very nice dogs! are you in GA?

luke0927

I'm here in GA where hog hunting is very big especially with dogs....There are the farms that are over populated and have a lot of destruction from pigs alot of it comes from not managing then correctly its an all year round thing...they plant the crops then they come in and destroy it...you have to...

The first week of the season during the work week how crowded is it....if you willing to walk can you get out and away from a lot of people?

luke0927

it was already starting to heal good...I removed the staples and used cephapirin benzathine on the wound he told me to use it a couple times a day until it heals up.....

luke0927

Thanks I'll call the vet its not like im out in some remote spot hunting better make sure its taken care of right.

luke0927

Well it finally happened had a dog get a good cut, thank god it wasn't deep enough to hit any muscle it was on my female on the right from but it was about 2 1/2" and all the way through her coat. I cleaned it with soap and water and put some alcohol on it and then stapled it....it was my first time...

luke0927

If the hatch is good i plan on taking my first trip to Kansas around the 2nd week of the season...hows the best way to get accurate info on the hatch...i would say the DNR but I would say they are in it to sell licenses so will you truly get accurate reports? actually- for years the DNR has been pr...

luke0927

Luke, I could not tell where you were when the dog turned its head while on point, but it appeared the dog was looking for you. I have seen dogs look at the handler when they are uncertain of what is about to happen, or dogs that have received some kind of pressure while on point (either whoaed on ...

luke0927

This is the same way i broke the dog steady to wing.....Once the dog is finished with the training and back on birds the style and intensity is still there but when we are doing our yard work training thats how she reacts....578SLE do you find on most dogs that once they are back running on birds th...

luke0927

I think that given the bird flew behind the dog, you would be o.k. with that kind of movement in an AKC SH or MH test. The rules read: "Normally, a dog can move or turn inplace to mark the fall of the bird, provided no significant forward motion is made. This allows movement if the bird should happ...

luke0927

I'm asking the same questions you are. :) I think you're doing a good job. I'm confused about using the e-collar unless the dog knows absolutely what he is doing wrong by marking. i was told no e-collar around birds. ??? I've trialed for years ( American Field) and we are expected to collar our dog...

luke0927

You know i didn't think about that with the pigeons circling over head it probalby makes it more difficult than just starting with quail and having them just fly off and then down. I plan to swtich to quail soon when i start going to my training land...I will make her stand the quail through the bla...

luke0927

OK take a look and let me know what you think this is session 4 two pigeons planted....I ran the dog first around my property through the woods to make her look for birds then up to field where she found the birds....She didn't chase at the shot but she is a little feet happy i corrected her when sh...

Great pics thanks for sharing!

Do those people need to be slapped whats the point of them breeding dogs like that......... Let's be careful. This is a relative newcomer to the Forum. The poster's question was not about whether mixed breeds are a good idea. Let's not turn this into a bashing mixed breeds & their breeders thread. ...

Do those people need to be slapped whats the point of them breeding dogs like that.........

luke0927

Nice setter.....its not really a problem with the dog cowering or lowering its head etc when moving out in front like its anticipating a correction....Thats why i think after the training is "finished" the better the dog will look as it gets on more and more birds and handles them correctly.

luke0927

I guess this could go here or in the general not really training specific. For those of you who train a dog all the way out wing shot just a full finished dog. Do you think that during the training that the dog kind of "loses" (i want to say loses but thats not really the best word) some style...Its...

Ok i have an appointement with the Vet but its not till the 20th as im leaving this week to go to Boston for work.

Its a 7 month old GSP thats when through (Yawallac' s) caladen kennels puppy program and looks like a real nice pup...i got him and going to train him out and just give him a good hunting ho...

luke0927

Wanted to shoot a few birds over the dogs before I start breaking them to wing and shot they did very well despite the poor conditions it got really hot even early in the morning...and there was barely any wind.....We started up a dog club and the little Brittany is a guys first dog he brought it do...

luke0927

Good luck, I have lived here my whole life and unless you have family ground or a fat checkbook, it is very hard. Farmers turned deer outfitters have made it difficult to lease good land at a reasonable price. Good deer leases go for about 8-10 dollars per acre. Bird hunters out here are used to pa...
