Planned on letting them out when we stop for fuel but I'll be driving straight through so i'll probalby just feed them a smaller amount when we stop in the evening. Then feed them good when we get there in the morning.

luke0927

Sounds like an awesome trip....Im headed to KS tomorrow hope Im not let down from going to SD last year!

luke0927

when do you like to feed your dogs when going on a road trip? I'll be leaving about lunch tomorrow to head to KS about 17 hrs...I normally feed in the evening but was thinking of feeding early morning that way they should be able to get by on just water and maybe small amount late the evening if the...

I was thinking 7-7 1/2".....but was wondering on the Pheasant's so with 6's just let the quail get out a little bit.

luke0927

Will be headed to KS this week...Will be in north central where i could run into quail or phesant....what size should I shoot that will take pheasan't down clean but not be so big that hard to hit or waste quail?

luke0927

Thank's I'll look into it he does have a side by side to and a handicap sticker. I'll do some research.

luke0927

It would probably be my grandfather on it mostly, I would walk from the truck to the field with the dogs and he might just go on down the road an then walk in and i would work to him.....So even if the gun was unloaded it would be no no? would this be in the regulations?

luke0927

Is it alright to have a 4 wheeler on the dirt roads in Kansas....say i want to park the truck then right down the dirt road to drop a dog out etc....never drive on any WIHA or private land would there be any problems with this?

luke0927

He seems fine today so looks like it was temporary his ears must have just been ringing real loud......

luke0927

He's in his crate earlier I had to drag him out to get him to eat i could stand at the doorway and yell as loud as i could and he wouldn't even turn his head.....I'm now getting him to turn his head when i'm close and give a loud wistle and his name.....so looks like he can hear some maybe it will o...

luke0927

luke0927

luke0927

I do but not with my dogs....my friends have squirrel dogs and other hounds....Mosty terrier or a cur dog is what they use.

luke0927

I'm really a newbie only had bird dogs for a little over 3 years now.....just turned 24 so haven't been out and about a lot yet..I went to south Dakota last year but most of my knowledge is hunting here in Georgia where wild birds have gotten rare. Probably be me and my dad and a friend or two....I ...

luke0927

As far a weather I'll have clothes for all types but generaly that time of year whats it like? What should i focus on, I will be mostly hu...

luke0927

Yes it is a great project my cousin is a Marine up in NC and has done several tours to Iraq. nothing like that first deer!

luke0927

I have 2 of them and have beat the tar out of them and they still work great couldn't have asked for better.

luke0927

Last year was my first time...only public land we had good success in around the creeks and ditches that run around them.

luke0927

Took these today...little warm and bad scenting but they were OK. I'll be running the liver/roan dog in SH and hopefully some walking trials this season.....couldnt shoot the birds to kill here but he is about 98% on the fall...you'll get that step or 2 every now then....you'll see the female move i...

luke0927

I'm leaving Thanksgiving night from GA...Will be around the Hays area also....Will be my first trip looking forward to it!

luke0927

Nice is that private or public land?

luke0927

most of the ones i go to are are 6 strands and you can't climb through...i just have to drop the dog over the fence.

luke0927

I switched from Direct TV and now i don't get the channel

luke0927

Great Pics! Your from Augusta GA, I'm up in North GA

luke0927

I'm training one of my dogs right now to track deer blood....we killed a deer last weekend during bow season and my friend gave me the blood its been so wet its been hard to lay a good track...and since he doesn't have it down yet the wet grass makes it harder.....i use blood only becasue i don't wa...

luke0927

lot of people bay with curs, walkers other hounds and then send in the catch dog....I think most people use pits for their catch most of the ones i know thats what they use...some use Catahoula, american bulldogs and other breeds like.

luke0927

same thing this is like a whimper not a loud whine/bark or anything

luke0927

OK just wonder if anyone has had a dog do this.... This is a FF GSP that likes to retrieve...I am currently breaking him STWS. When i drop a bird out in front of him and make him stand a while he starts whinning cause he wants to go get it but knows he cant...I give him a nick and say whoa cuase it ...

luke0927

luke0927

Thanks all...Here in GA you cannot run a dog on public land during deer season......I know GA isn't like Kansas no one really bird hunts any more its mostly a big game state....and i remember when i was on a hunt on public land a guys bird dogs got of his property or he was hunting the WMA but both ...

luke0927

I've got a traditional Pella Bird n Lite and like it but I'm going to get a cooler strap vest for warmer weather

luke0927

Here's some Georgia pics

luke0927

I hunted around Presho last year and the bird numbers were real good.

luke0927

Haven't narrowed it all the way down yet but have the opertunity to rent a house in Natoma....want to do some research and see what kind of hunting i can get into around there....Also woulnd mind driving a little ways for a good day of hunting somewhere

luke0927

So if you just try and stay away from area's that have a trucked parked at them? If there wasn't a dog box in the back and you couldn't see them you wouldn't know if they were bird hunting or deer hunting.

luke0927

Thank I'll do it today!

luke0927

Yea you should be good to go with the GA hunter safety as long as you have a number to give em...I won't tell you what number I gave em....ooops.......hee hee.......good luck...I'm looking at getting out there the week before thanksgiving or there abouts anyways.....we'll see.. Chip Have you hunted...

luke0927

I have my GA hunter safety it should be all I need right....I think if I leave thanksgiving day I can get in Friday and hunt for a few good days it would then only be 1 day of having to hunt while firearms is open.....taking young dogs i didn't want to go later in the season i would like to go befor...

luke0927

I downloaded the new 2009 Atlas but i can't find a link to order it in the book form Like in South Dakota. Do they offer that I would like to have that instead of having to print it all out.

luke0927

OK trying to narrow my dates down....I was thinking of leaving Thanksgiving night and staying for a week but that puts me 2 days into firearms season....what do you guys that bird hunt do during firearms season is it best to stay away doing then.

luke0927

Hawks......

luke0927

I have a SBE II and want to shoot one just to compare I'm not looking to get one now but i would like to see if i could tell much difference

luke0927

NO do not take the dog to a dove shot just to introduce her to gun fire...Gun fire should be introduced in a controled environment in the proper steps...Here in GA the only redbones i have see were coon dogs never heard them being used for anything else but tracking. I actually have friends and fami...

luke0927

luke0927

I have a a 20' 300lb chain connected to 2 stakes i made out of heavier rebar Welded a metal Oring (actually a big washer) so i could snap my chain to the stake. I keep my 4 dogs on it.

luke0927

There are a good bit of plantations and you can find birds on public land about like south Georgia just have to go out hit the field and do some walking.

luke0927
