lol...you're right Big Steve, those dogs can sure cover some ground and quick.

More more Llewellins I think I would probably get a Brittany.

I did get the list from Spectrum and thats is what I think is the problem. I have spoke to numerous people at Abady and am fully confident after talking to the one and only local provider that this will be my answer. We shared similar situations and he has had the same phenomonal success. After hea...

claybuster_aa

Thanks Charlie, I called Abady and they will call me back, its lunchtime. I was on their site and it all makes sense. It could very well be the food and whats in it. My vet is pretty good, she does not push expensive tests and is more pro-holistic than most. After the rat posion incident and the bo...

claybuster_aa

The natural antidote for the rat poison is vitamin K and it is in all dog foods. If your dog only ate a small amount probably would have been OK as soon as he started eating his food again and let the vitamin K work. If you know by the blood test that your dog is allergic to all those in #1, then wh...

I think you need to consider what you're doing with the gun. Is it a weekend shooter down at the skeet field or are you hunting maybe a dozen times a year? No, I don't think you can find a quality target gun around $500. 1200 yes, but not 500. You can find a 'good' enough double barrel to get throug...

she has had some soft stool but not the runs lately because we are changing food so right now I'm going to go with plain old itchy butt. I'll keep a good eye out on her and if it keeps on happening I'll take her in I think when you get the stool to where it ought to be it should take care of itself...

I feel the 30/20 is most important as well. Preformance feeds may be has a hair under puppy feeds in protein and fat content. What you don't want to do IMO is not select any standard Adult Feed without noting the protein and fat content. Many Adult non-preformance feeds can be less than 30/20. Prote...

...however if you are shooting at one of those upscale skeet fields that require bismuth, then go with a CYL choke then you're really shooting IC.

claybuster_aa

...and I don't think it is recommended to shoot steel or bismuth through a full choke. Best bet I think is to go with an IC because then you are shooting a Modified.

claybuster_aa

I think all modern firearms can handle the steel or bistmuth, but what you need to pay attention to is the choke selection. IE, a skeet choke would then become an IC if using steel. An IC choke would become a MOD. Somebody please correct me if I am wrong, but I am pretty sure that is how it works. C...

claybuster_aa

Sounds like an allergic reaction and you probably guessed it right...something in the food. Sometimes the allergy will travel along the same node, and one that is fairly common I think is eyes, lips, nose, and then around her vagina area. Crustiness and redness along that node is probably indication...

The following measures have been shown to help prevent some cases of bloat, but they will not prevent all cases. This is due to the fact that research has shown other possibilities as contributing to the tendancy to bloat. An example of this would be the question of blood chemical imbalance affecti...

I'm not the only one who has read or heard about soaking kibble. Yea, some say maybe just an old wives tale, but it makes sense to me...let the food expand prior before hitting the dogs stomach. The important think to remember is to discard uneaten food because it won't keep, it will form bacteria. ...

I was just teasing you about your gun. I have one of those and I'm poor.
I thought you'd have a Benelli or something. ( Just kidding you.)

Any ideas on how to keep her warm? Protein and Fat upgrade would be my first guess. Mind telling us the diet and what is the protein and fat percentage? Maybe then resident vets here could give you their opinion if that is enough for the condition you describe? I'm sorry and don't mean to be be off...

I asked the local dealer in my area and they said that they would charge me $125 for this transaction. For a transfer fee? What a rip. I would look for a different shop and tell them you know what they can do with the 125. That is what you call highway robbery. You are talking about 5 minutes of pa...

Nice! Carrier latch was in the back of mind as well but failed to mention. Which way was the latch bent? Too far into the receiver? I was actually thinking no carrier latch at all like it fell out then sold as a used gun...but said to myself nahhhh, that would be too stupid, trigger wouldn't even se...

Despite fixed chokes, I'll go 150. Japanese or Belgium? Ok...175 for the Belgium. On the more realistic approach, without doing any research, you should be looking for at least a grand I would think. I would go to gun broker dot com and do some searches. Try current auction and completed auctions an...

One gun shop (in Foster, RI) as of last weekend is STILL selling shot for $50 a bag. When he had 70 bags on the floor all marked at $35, then you go in the next day and all same bags are marked $50, you know he bought all those bags prior and is price gouging at the new rate. So, now lead is backing...

Anyone ever buy from there. I hate to buy something that I can't see, but their price sure are good. Any feed back on them. I was lloking at a cheap o/u they wasnt $319 shipped every where else want's $450 plus tax. No, but have heard of others speak of Bud's Guns with no problems to report. What a...

claybuster_aa

I had a similar problem once but the opposite. My 1100 would fire but would not eject the shell. I had to pull the handle back to load the next shell. I didn’t shoot off many like that, but mentioned it to a friend who happened to be around at the time and new exactly what the problem was in 2 secon...

I cleaned the magazine tube and replaced the spring.

Are you referring to hammer spring inside the stock?

claybuster_aa

Naperdog, I'll give you my 2 cents. I think the smart thing to do is leave your dog on puppy food for the first full year. My reasoning is this: The first year is the growth year and probably the most important year. I have made dog food kind of a interest for the past six years and have done plenty...

Check the rings, make sure they are not on backwards.

I think this stuff is great for the O/Us. Some say you only need to put it on one time as it penetrates the metal, there after Rem Oil Spray for a wipe is all you need. Only needed for the metal to metal contact areas, sides of receiver, hinge pins, etc. The thecnical specs at the website are worth ...

My non-professional opinion would be this: You posted here in health and nutrition because something maybe telling it is about health and nutrition, not a hunting issue belonging in a hunting forum. I think you're right, it’s about health and nutrition, but not so much health, it's about nutrition, ...

I am a green pheasant hunter to say the least.

We released 11 birds Sat and only 4 taken...only 36%...that's terrible. Six people showed up to hunt. Hope a few make it back to the recovery pen!

I think...no matter what product is displayed on the mushers back, in reality they are using less than 25% of that product if they have any hopes of their dogs finishing in good standing, that includes Eagle Pack. They supplement with probably beaver and mink mostly on the trail. They have to, and t...

claybuster_aa

Pop out the two pins that hold the trigger and pull it straight out. Next take out the link. Now you can fully access the back part of the receiver and give that a good cleaning...that could very well be slowing down your bolt. Assembly is the opposite, but you will probably need needle-nose pliers ...

Nice Rooster. Congrats on the first bird!

Everyone has a different situation I suppose as to hunting and budget. I belong to a club and we stock our own Pheasants (10.50 a bird). The club where we shoot skeet year round and hunt birds during small game season is about 20 minutes from my house. Our dues our about 160 a year, +8 hrs work or a...

Hey, Congrats!

If you look further down in this forum, you can see some pics of my 20 S/S, in the thread Ithaca SKB. I bought a SKT/SKT
recently.

claybuster_aa

You said good shape, the price sounds right, I don't think you can go wrong with that one.

claybuster_aa

Think of it like humans. You need breakfast to get your body in gear - I assume the same for dogs. This kind of thinking can backfire on you. Your dog is not a human and their nutritional needs are more complex than that of a human. A dogs sustainable energy is acquired through fat metabolism. This...

28% Fat (mostly Lard and Beef Fat) I see no differce in my dog with or without the corn in regards to keeping on weight. Corn did not help. And, I can compare because my dog has been on the same ration for 6 years, about 3 with and 3 without corn. Even more interesting, I became a free-feeder trying...

claybuster_aa

1. All year round they are on a 30/20 feed and I still struggle to keep weight on them (no corn products). And yes all health concerns have been addressed and both dogs are completly healthy so this isn't a factor in their lack of keeping weight one. Nothing wrong with being on the lean side, some ...

claybuster_aa

I have noticed no difference in my dogs when comparing the years when the product I use had corn as opposed to without the corn.

The shot is only good for about 6-8 months it says, seems like pretty much a waste, unless you did it every year. Looks like pretty serious stuff with a lot of vomitting. If your dog is having problems associated with the water, be thankful it aint
Leptospirosis!

claybuster_aa

The puppy shot I was thinking of is considered a non-core vaccine, so I think that means at the discretion of the breeder? Anyway, I just looked it up and it is a Leptospirosis vaccine. This can be associated with the water: Leptospirosis is transmitted between animals through contact with infected ...
