She dont like my wife...at all and she is agressive at things she dont want to do and bites This sounds like a behavior that was allowed. What makes you think the next dog won't do the same thing if allowed to? You need to get that behavior under control instead of letting it be the next guys probl...

Mountain Cur.

duckn66

Minimum 1/4 inch/ft I would recommend. When they pee I like to see it immediately start running off. LOL. Make sure you put a light broom finish on it too.

It was Mountaineer, thankyou. I am alot like he was now toward the end. A good waterfowling buddy and I always use to talk about how we should bring a camera to the blind instead of a gun. There has been many many quail hunting trips this year that I never even fired my gun. Not because of lack of b...

Did he falsify papers? Who knows. Does it go on today? I'm sure it does. However, I bet there was more outside blood coming in than than he tells of. Whether or not these dogs ever were registered who knows. 100-150 pups whelped a year is a lot of dogs over the course of the years. I wonder what he ...

duckn66

Ha HA it sure does! Anyway, who knows what was BS and what was factual in the book. I'm sure he did more outcrossing than he told us about in the book. He said it himself that pedigrees arent 100 percent all the time. Hmmm. Was interesting how many different types of "experiments" he was involved in...

"Snakefoot the Making of a Champion" was so interesting that I read the entire book in one day while the snow and cold wind blew out of the North and I had my EP's inside enjoying the house and getting in from the cold weather. I'm sure this has been asked in the past but here it goes. This book was...

Let me pose this question to you: Would you rather have it go to a hunting home and it only gets out to hunt a couple times a year? OR A non hunting home who includes the dog in all activities and stimulates the dog in other ways? ^^^ This. If the dog was out and about constantly that would be awes...

For being mobile, an individual on another site took an enclosed cargo trailer and made the inside how he saw fit. Of course this would still be considered primitive I think, but maybe a bit less than tent type primitive.

duckn66

I get the 10 dollar off coupon from the Purina Rep that is at my local store every Saturday. Plus, a 10 percent military discount on Tuesdays for those that qualify at Orchelns (sp).

duckn66

Something I have never shot is Sandhills. I have heard the are the fillet mignon of the sky though.

Never shot a Canadian either. They typically don't get this far south of the border.

duckn66

Now that would be fun! When I used to run coonhounds they would occassionally get on a bobcat.

duckn66

Wow, this was some great info! Looks like I will be purchasing one to try it out. And if it's as good as you all say I'll be looking to get 4 more.

duckn66

Do you find that you still need to put hay in the house? Of course with no heater I stuff the boxes with hay and change it frequently but under them I have rubber matting. I have found that with the metal swinging doors on my houses that lots of hay can prevent them from opening and/or closing. Woul...

duckn66

I'm still exploring options as far as whether to build indoor kennels or keep the current set up. I've known about Hound Heaters for quite some time but have never really considered them. I always bring the mutts inside when it's really cold. Heat of the summer they stay pretty cool where they are w...

duckn66

Tell us more about how it became dead. Did they tree it and you shoot it out? Catch it on the ground?

duckn66

Good point Neil. I never thought about that. I could definately see that happening.

duckn66

Georgiaboy, that is a very sharp set up you have. I would love to be able to put together something like that for my next kennel. Did you ever insulate the building? You probably don't have to worry about it getting too cold do you? What are your dimensions on the indoor kennels? Also the dimensions...

duckn66

Are there that many wild birds in the south? I thought that they had all but disappeared?

duckn66

MOshorthair thanks for the info. Pntrrookie, unfortunately my concrete inside is not sloped. I'm having to retrofit my shop to do this. After reading a couple of responses on Upland I think that I will make my indoor pens 48x60. My dogs will be able to go outside to relieve themselves (at least I ho...

duckn66

I'm over just East of KC. What town was this guy in? Also, where do you get those beds?

duckn66

I posted a simialar subject on another forum. This is exactly what I want to do. Only I want indoor/outdoor with swinging doors or spring loaded to enter in and exit the indoor area.

Where did you have your kennels made at? I can't find exactly what I want either.

duckn66

I have a Huglu that I picked up overseas about 15 yrs ago. O/U 20 with 26 inch tubes. It's my quail gun. I love how it points and its lightweight as well.

duckn66

It's been cold all over. Although not as cold as what you have, but cold. The entire area is getting ready to get dumped on and temps are going to stay in the gutter for a couple of weeks.

duckn66

I hunt quail with English Pointers and therefore the need for an auto loader is a requirement. They find many more birds than other breeds and usually the coveys they find are largeras well so an auto loader only makes sense. :lol: Seriously though, it all depends on what I am hunting. For upland bi...

duckn66

Instead of beating you up for asking this question I'll add some useful information. If you wait until the upland bird forecast comes out that will be a starting place. Combine that with rainfall maps and it will get you in the areas. The public areas in KS get beat up pretty bad. Some of them will ...

duckn66

Chesapeake. Although I don't have one anymore the ones I did have were all very loyal companions. Definately a breed apart from other dogs.

But, I don't think I've ever met a breed of dog I didn't like something about.

duckn66

I have several canvas backs in the freezer now, can you suggest any specific recipes for them? Fajitas...... :mrgreen: Filet the meat from the breast, cut into strips and marinate in Italian Dressing overnight. Skillet with a little cooking oil and brown the meat. Add red, green peppers, and onions...

duckn66

If you're using the PS, why even ask this question? A whoa post, barrel, or any other "artificial" tool doesn't make the dog learn it any better. My dogs were all whoa broke with the PS and PF series (except for the first pointer - I got her before I learned the Perfection way). It works. It works ...

duckn66

Is a barrel absolutely necessary to teach whoa in your opinion? I worked on Whoa with my pup some last summer as I was teaching him to heel but wasn't too worried about it just yet. This was his first year hunting wild birds which I thought he did very well the last part of the season. The person I ...

duckn66

Well said EZZY $1000 stud fee for a untrained, untitled, unproven dog its more like steeling from the trainer for being too nice. After reading many replys on this thread its some serious cases of OCD going on in the dog world. This trainer sounds like a stand up fair guy. Agreed. ^^ I would take t...

duckn66

I really believe that a dog box is where a dog belongs for their safety, yours, and others. Had an aquaintance that was killed by a guy who had his dog riding up front with him. The dog apparanty decided to go over to the drivers seat on I-70 and when the driver attempted to push the dog back over t...

I buy my Pro-Plan at Petsmart. Every Saturday the Purina rep is there and they give 10 dollar a bag off coupons and I use them in conjunction with my other coupon which is usually a couple of bucks. A bag ends up costing me 35 dollars plus tax.

duckn66

Ray when I got my first EP after over 20 yrs of not owning one I quickly figured out that I wanted an Astro tracker to make it easier to locate him. Even tho my first EP is a pretty close hunter. My younger pup will range depending on cover. I don't mind him heading over the hill now with the Astro....

duckn66

Don, I think you are correct. I see that now. Topher, I'll give you a call a little later on this evening if you are going to be around. If I were to do anything it would have to be walking, as I am horse-less as of about 10 yrs ago when the one horse I ended up keeping, a nice big Arab-quarter cros...

I was looking at UKC's venue for pointing dogs. Seems they have to retrieve in order to pass the test if the test is being done with liberated birds. However, if it's not a liberated bird trial but instead working on wild birds they don't shoot them and the dog can still pass without a retrieve. May...

duckn66

I talked to one of the guys from BDU last fall I believe. Seemed like a super nice person.

Thanks for all the great information from everyone.

duckn66

I knew AKC had them but didn't know they were in that format. I'll have to take a closer look now that I am on a screen bigger than an Iphone. I was just curious about the different pointing dog venues as I have been getting more and more into the pointy dog thing as the ever and more popular waterf...

duckn66

I'm completely clueless about the difference in the two trials. I see more Pointing dogs are ran AF than AKC it seems. Which do you like better and why? Looking at pedigrees it seems that most do not have AKC titles and if they did perhaps they wouldn't hold as much water? Why is there not a hunt te...

duckn66

I built one out of a barrel as well. I put a ledge up at the top for them to fly up on and sun. Although I haven't stocked it yet, I plan on doing so perhaps this weekend if I can find some birds. Thats a really nice one. Gives me some ideas on how to get feed to them. I think I would rather use the...

duckn66

I actually have two birds sitting. One of them hatched out but the baby didn't make it. Too cold I guess.

duckn66

It sounds like you two drove seperately? How long have you known this guy? If for a long time that's too bad he wouldn't heed your advice and instead choose to ruin a friendship over an out of control dog. Good luck with the rest of your hunt and I bet without that bird busting dog along, your dog w...

I feel everyones problem here. I'm not necessarily a puppy fan. I'm more of a fan of 2 year old dogs. But, you gotta start somewhere and thats usually with a puppy. I like 2 years olds because they generally have that first season behind them and if it was a good one I feel all that much better. I'...

duckn66

Over the winter I built myself a Johnny House with the thought I could use the quail here in my pastures when our season closed. Haven't stocked it yet. My question is how late into the spring will I be able to release birds and still have them recall? I have heard there comes a time in the spring w...

Awesome! As said above lots of dog power! That last pic is priceless. He' saying "I really don't like this water but if this is what it takes"......

When I had my horses (all five of them) I would bring them all to their stalls with some grain. Shut the gates behind them and bring them out to saddle. If I were only riding one and they all came to their stalls, they all got a bit of grain. Use a little bit of grain each time. Easy peasey. Why mak...

Broncos are going to crush the Seahawks. Only one who can beat Denver is themselves.

My lab literally craps for the first 10 minutes of the hunt. She walks and craps though. Multi talented. Spreads it out so there is a higher probability that someone steps in it.
