The only way to decoy geese here is with a John Deere with a rotary mower. Probably longer than I've been alive the snow geese fly from state refuge to state refuge to eat the freshly brush hogged corn and gain altitude quick as they come out of them. Luckily I have the 45 acres that borders one ref...

I like the #2's when I can get them. It's a happy medium for still keeping a pattern without large holes since it has the higher pellet count. But still carrying enough energy for high Flyers. We use a full choke extended briley on the Beretta xtremea 2. And an extra full in the SBE but I cant read ...

Cajun Casey and sd44 both have very valid points. Pull the scruff of the neck to make sure the pup is not dehydrated. If it's dehydrated call the breeder and let them know right away. Then call the vet right after. If not feed some canned pumpkin and get the dog back on what it was on before you bro...

Sharon I agree 100% on the dog not working behind. But I'm a fan of getting that bird 150 yards slightly forward and to my left before working the 500 yard ahead bird. Also the Wild Western quail are pretty good runners and become flighty also if I'm not able to reach them quick even if my dog is st...

I have dealt with this before. Last week was the most recent. Luckily he was a very tough dog. Make sure he knows his commands and you are producing birds. Crank up the juice and put him away immediately. Repeat the next day. If the dog doesn't behave he doesent get to run again that day. Always sta...

I fed his sister a nice big chunk of raw elk roast today, but she's just my wild bird dog.

In my opinion sharing the love of dogs and hunting with friends and family is what it's all about.

The pool skimmer handle is great. Usually sturdy and light aluminum. But I'd swap the shallow skimmer net for a deep bag fishing net. Also for those not wanting to spend a bunch on the aluminum pole, chain link fence top rod work's well. I cut it in half and was able to use the tapered end as the mi...

Thanks for the link Felisha. I checked it out and would like to repost this from their site. "you'll find meat meals in pet foods, inclupoultry meal, by-product meals, and meat-and-bone meal.

Third for the lewis boots. I hunt the cactus and thorns.

I know times have changed and our dog food has advanced if you're willing to pay the price. But from what I know the greyhound guy's that are still left are still feeding raw meat. What confirms to me that the old way is the better way is that my relative trucker made deliveries lately to their supp...

I like his looks. Tail or no tail it's all about ability and heart.

On the link you posted itappears to be the same as the electronic dogtra launchers I have minus the electronics. Soid have to say yes. The guys at lcs should be able to tell you for sure. My past experience with them has led me to believe they are experienced and gave no bull to just to make a sale.

Nothing wrong with CZ. I've had a few of the ringnecks and the bobwhites in 20,28 and 12 guage. The double triggers are something to get used to but ended up loving them. Near Instant choke selection with the two triggers instead of fumbling with the switch up top. Also if you're scouting used guns ...

The blues in the cactus and thick stuff are less likely to run so try and start there. The rest will be experience and no better time to start him learning than right now. If possible try to get a bird's eye view off horseback to see exactly what's going on good and bad.

My slightly educated guess is the one in grey that's on 24/7 is google bot. But I'm definitely not a tech expert.

I wish you would not have called me a liar earlier and I would have left it alone Munster. I now know why the sensitivity came up with you. http://www.huntingmunsterlanders.com/Photo-Gallery.html if that's what floats your boat great! This is America!! But don't deny that the fact that an unknowing ...

I called it sharpness you called it hardness. The Fox farm statement is good old American humour. Judging from your pictures I knew the moonlight bunny ranch would go right over your head.

Neil I would think the Germans must have some sort of fox farm. Afterall we Americans have the moonlight bunny ranch in Nevada

A shorthair treeing a squirrel is a long ways away from a DL killing a fox on command for a judge to see. With testing requirements like that how safe is a a yapping pup? Do they use live fox? Is that a regional thing? I've only seen coons used here and heard about cats, but I don't personally part...

Munster So you're calling me a liar but won't elaborate on the testing requirements. I agree 100% on the bad breeding but they're bred to pass the requirement set in place.

I keep beef hearts and green tripe on hand. Eggs of course are always here. Personally, I don't see much value in going all raw but hearts, tripe and raw egg yolks are nice to add. Beef hearts are very easy to get. Tripe can be depending on where you live. If you have access to a ranch slaughter go...

Thanks gotpointers. I purchased a MEC sizemaster yesterday. I was used, but not that much. The thing was spotless and it came with an extra charge bar for 7/8, or 1 oz. Some other goodies as well. Got it all delivered to the house for $180. Seemed worth the extra money. I had a MEC 600 jr. when I w...

The German testing requires a kill also for their sharpness requirements. I've lost an English pointer to a very sharp DL. I dont know the DL you are talking about, but I can tell you with 100% confidence that the requirement of a sharpness test and the killing of your dog have nothing to do with e...

Whatever powder is readily avalible in your area I'd go with. Also the gun shop that sells the powder usually has free recipe book's for that brand. They're proven loads so I stick with what's in print. A mec single stage loader is a quality product. A lee is a cheap plastic thing but it functions. ...

Perfect start and perfect finish will get it done without the need for a trainer. If you have the time to spend.

Parvo can still be picked up anywhere like from a neighbor upwind. Speck of fecal matter on a shoe walking into Walmart. Use quaility vaccines that have been stored at the correct temperatures. And administered at the proper intervals and the dog will be covered after its third series.

My old faithful 16 guage side by side will go in the morning after work. But I picked up a Browning citori lighting sporting clays 12 guage over the summer and I will put it to the test. I don't expect to keep it past September dove but who knows.

I have a heritage 2 hole with top storage. Good looking box at ten feet. But it's just a plywood box with a pretty skin. Heavy and I'm eventually going to have to replace the floor. I'd rather have just a solid aluminum diamond plate box like I on my dog/ utv trailer.

You need a release from the kennel to use their registered name in the prefix. Customary somewhat but not necessary unless agreed upon prior to sale.

I'd advise you to get the Perfect Start DVD and follow those instructions - retrieving would be the last thing I'd worry about with a young setter (Gordon or otherwise). A few fun bumpers or dummies a week - like one every other day or so. If the dog won't reliably recall (here) then he should be o...

gotpointers

At that age you need to keep him excited and make retrieves fun and not work. Stop earlier and plenty of praise.

If you are in the market for an SUV with a small bed and like GM products it's probably a great choice for you. It's more Tahoe than a truck. Dont expect to pull a fifth wheel trailer or it to have capabilities a real truck would have.

Here in NM it's looking really good but usually we end up with a cold spell and rains that end it earlier for us. I can imagine for most of you further north. Especially Canada.

We shoot a lot of high flying passing geese, so a 3 1/2 is definitely necessary for what we do.

When I think of Introducing a young pup to birds, my mind goes to teaching a love of feathers, feathers in the mouth. . I do my lab's that way too.
