BillThomas is not BirdDogz. OTOH, a certain person from Cincinnati, who has previously been banned from GDF, was fond of bringing up exactly this same conspiracy theory.

I'm curious. UltraCarry, please explain yourself.

Most people on here know that I'm not very tolerant of people getting personal with each other. It's cool to argue ideas. It's not cool to flame a person. For example "Using an e-collar on the dog while on point is a stupid idea" is harsh, but not going to get someone counseled. "John Doe is just pl...

Note: Grand Dad actually said "Don't ever spend all that you make". I restated it to "Pay yourself first". It just means more to me that way. Grand Dad understood that when people have money in their pocket, they tend to spend it. In today's world, my claim is that people will tend to take on monthl...

Looks like it would work, you might also try overlapping rubber inner tube as a door instead of your hinged door, you can just run your hand between the tubes and dont have to worry about birds slipping out.

+1. The overlapping flaps work out much better in practice.

I sure do like my GSP. Wouldn't change anything about him.

GrandDad was a smart fellow. Lived through WWI, the Great Depression, WWII, etc. Worked his tail off. Mom and Dad divorced when I was really young. GrandDad was my Dad's dad. He lived next door. Was my primary father figure till I was 12 or so. Pardon me if I idolize him a bit... Get this: He was a ...

OK, take this for what it's worth. It's what my grandfather beat into me. I didn't understand till later in life, but once I did, they have served me wll. Grandfather's Five Rules of Financial Independence 1. Pay yourself first. 2. Don't buy what you can't pay for. 3. Don't turn away free money. 4. ...

Try the Beretta A300. It feels a lot like the 1100 standard weight.

Contact my training partner, Chris Hall. memberlist.php?mode=viewprofile&u=2761 . He's plugged in.

Athlete's Foot meds have the same active ingredient, often at higher "yield", for less money. Why? I've always thought it was because the closer it is to the jewels, the more a guy is willing to pay for it....

Haiku. That's really funny. My college education allowed me to design flight control software for the F-16 and F-22 and other kind-of-aircraft that I can't talk about. Similarly, I did guidance work for the Patriot missile. I've done radar simulation software for the P-3 and knowledge-based systems ...

Never had trouble with one and a dog, though I can imagine it would happen if the dog got between the turtle and safety. I hate snapping turtles. In my youth a friend and I spent a long afternoon catching bream on horse weed worms. We must have had 50. When we pulled up the stringer to show a friend...

Just adding an idea: used Winchester 101. Here is one for $1049 that I found in less than a minute. http://www.cabelas.com/winchester-shotguns-winchester-101-field-12-gauge-field-2.shtml . I'm pretty sure that you could pick one up for a good price with just a little digging. They are high quality s...

I am confident in saying that my college education was challenging and well rounded. It prepared me well for my career and life in general. Without it, I would have been a lost ball in the tall grass. I wasn't as well prepared by high school for college. That, however, was my fault, not the school s...

Our name for a stoat is "short-tailed weasel".

In many of the PLOTS lands that we hunted in ND would be inaccessible by RV. Some of those that would be accessible, the RV would block the road. Since I don't RV, I can't tell you about the availability of free RV sites. Sorry.

I don't get much chance to read the forums this time of year. I have two kids playing varsity lacrosse...3-4 games a week each. If anyone needs my attention, they need to PM me. I've seen other people attach pictures to posts here. I've just never tried to do it. I guess I could give it a try tonigh...

After 6 years of work, I have a beautiful, lush, healthy stand of fescue. The dogs urine will still brown it unless I, or nature (rain), dilutes it quickly. They will also tend to urinate in the same spot multiplying the problem. My solution is training them to do it in the empty lots next door. Wor...

There is a scam going around here. You get a robo call asking you to take a quick political survey. At the end, to compensate you for your time, they'll offer you a free cruise.

It's a scam. The phone numbers used are spoofed.

FWIW,

I LOVE a 28 ga. But, they aren't going to be quieter than a 20. Unless you reload, andI do, the cost of shells would break a Rockefeller.

Grant sold the whole shebang to the Snells quite some time ago. He's up to his ears being a systems architect for a large hospital chain and with a new baby. No time for dog training. Suggest you PM Rob Snell via "Admin" here on this site. None of the rest of us have anything to do with GunDogDirect...

Foam ear plugs. Don't forget the foam ear plugs!

I post pictures to the one place and links to them from others because it helps me retrain control of the pictures.

If I screw up and leave geo-tagging data in a picture, I have only one place to go take care of it.

If your pup does well on Diamond, go with it. You can pay more, but you can't do any better. I've had mine on Diamond Naturals. Both Large Breed Puppy and normal Adult. They do great.

When you select the thumbnail of the picture in the album, it will bring up a dialog box with a number of text fields. Select the one with the PHP IMG tags. Open a post here on the forums and paste that image tag in. Then hit submit.

As I see it, there are three things here. 1. Is the dog going to point a parrot by scent or sight? Your guess is as good as mine. My dogs will point pigeons that aren't ground dwelling. OTOH, they won't have anything to do with field larks despite being ground dwelling. Guess they've learned that th...

I have an iPad. I've always stored my pictures on Photobucket and posted an image link here.

Pretty much anything with a high percentage of Maltodextrin. I've used Gylcocharge and human-oriented "Weight Gainers".

Bird dogs find ground-dwelling game birds. With that said, I have seen dogs point game birds in trees both by sent and by sight. But, the dogs had long been hunting those birds and had learned "the game". The same dogs ignored robins and other non-game birds. They'd learned that "game" as well. Parr...

For the sake of completeness, just a reminder about not using ivermectin with collies and related.

I have another bud with one. He had to have it custom made. I don't remember all the details, but I gather it was made starting from 12 ga and 20 ga LW parts. Sorry to be so slow on this. Since starting the new job, I don't read the forums as much as I have in the past. If you need me for any reason...

Ivermectin has a huge range of safety. I give mine a half click erring on the low side. This because the dose that we give with the .1cc/10lbs of dog is many times what is necessary for heartworm prevention.

I went to the paste a couple of years ago. It's incredibly easy.

A lot of suspicious stuff at that humane society.

Sounds like a Garmin is in order for the owner.

My sincere condolences. Rebel was special. There is no telling how far he would have gone if he hadn't been injured.

15 years old...Old Rip put the longevity into them, didn't he?

I suggest doing a search of the archives on "decoverly". Might be illuminating.

Huge Congrats. Like the look of that dog!

I like to run a hotter powder than Green Dot. I feel like a load with a pressure above 9k is more consistent and gives a longer shot string with the 1 oz. PFP, before using "pompus" to describe me, you might want to ask the basis for where I'm coming from. OTOH, if you want to get in a flame war....

Get a lab.

Why are you loading Green Dot in 1 oz 12 ga loads?

I think it went together well. Gunner, like every dog, had his good and bad points. On the good side, he had the best nose that I've ever seen on any dog and tons of drive. On the downside, he'd get crazy at trials and lose his cool. There has never been a dog with a better personality, though. He l...

Go Zero!

Heard anything about the other pups in the litter?

http://www.utahbirddogs.com/ is a great place.

Beer, what kind of truck to buy...I guess even about cats.

Just remember the wisdom of Bill and Ted and all will be fine.

PM "admin" here. I don't have admin access to PP.

I suggested it to Rob and he approved.

GDF has gotten to the size that OT posts can consume a considerable amount of energy.

We'll have to figure out the rules as we go, but I think as long as was apply the wisdom of Bill and Ted, things will go fine.

Congrats!

I like a cold beer myself, but we're going to have to do something for off topic threads. They are getting out of hand.
