You should be just fine.

I shot one opening weekend o pheasant and quail season. I am north of Topeka.

Its all a crap shoot.

It is your decision. Dont fool yourself, accidents arent easy.

Yeah here are the coordinates, 867.5309, boot leather and a map will get you into birds. Not driving around looking at "spots". Love your comment KWIK, love you to just dont tell Johny boy.

seriously? If you want argumentative, brash, and attacking then go somewhere else. This is the most polite and heavily moderated website on the web (as far as bird dogs go). You havent been around for long if you believe THIS site lacks moderating or even decency.

My friend and I hunted 5 fields and saw 4 coveys, 2 roosters, and a woodcock. There are birds out there still, you just have to work for them and be in the right place at the right time.

Also pen raised pheasant run, just like the quail. Get into some wild birds to teach the dog manners or do it yourself.

I do use a tracker collar to guard against a lost dog. The vibrate function is like kissing your sister, it may be fun but serves no purpose.

One question I havent heard yet is why is the vibrate function a requirement? Seriously why would you ever spend the money to add the vibrate mode when a simple nick can achieve the same thing? 2 dog models, vibrate models, and tracking models are achieving only one thing, buying into the myth that ...

Time to break her. You dont teach point or prey drive but you do teach them how to handle birds.

Congrats Chip, sounds like Jill has been doing very well. Not surprising for what I saw out of her!

The parents should take care of them, if they dont then dont worry. I hatch year round and dont have problems. Keep them dry.

How old is the pup, wait on it to come. If the dog has it it has it. It isnt something you can instill

+1 ^^
Especially the last sentence.

You need a HC for your horse, not the dogs.

I use 7.5 or 8 shot, whatever is cheap with a .20 gauge full choke and ALWAYS bag more birds than anyone else in the party. Doesnt matter if its turkey, pheasant, chickens, or quail.

I appear to be doing just fine and all I eat is Big Mac's. Take a closer look at the arteries, heart, BP, etc.

+1 on Birddog68's comment.

I spit a chaw in there, it takes care of warts, worms, heartache, and herpes.

Pat is fantastic and very knowledgeable.

Congrats!

The jiffy jack is nice but so is a 1 ft section of 6x6 lumber. It does the same thing and is much cheaper!

Why cant a dog that trials hunt? I got this same argument today and cant understand it. Most people that hunt with me LOVE the dogs I hunt/trial behind and I have waiting list's for puppies. Some people come up with pre-concieved notions that make no sense.

Keep fisching and guessing. Seems pretty simple to everyone that has raised dogs.

I think you know the remedy......... It starts with a "B".

Congrats Evan, this is a true testament to your methods.

Ha Ha Ha Neil, grey goes a long way and I never thought about using a different name.

Never, I vaccinate all my own and have no one to speak for my record keeping anyways.

Post your location to start with so maybe people in the area can help you and get you off to a good start. You need to start by going hunting with someone to see if it really suits you.

Just openj carry in the states that deem in legal and dont worry about it. I do in KS all the time and never had to pay a dime.

Welcome

There is a very active field trial community down there. If you can make it to a trial in Mid October ( cant remember the dates off hand) you can meet a whole network of people that would be more than happy to help. Give me a call if your interested. 785/288/0461

The question wasn't how the vet was practice of medicine, surgery, etc. Because the vet thinks that the dog is underweight does NOT diminish his/her abilities of treating the dog in the future. I have dealt with vets in the past that wanted my dogs to gain weight although he always treated my dogs i...

No problem. Give me a call come November.

If its the first litter then your best bet is to wait tilll the pups mature to see who they take after most. I, along with other posters, agree that perhaps the bitc* does lend more to the litter than the male. When male dogs get serviceable t*ts then we will see. :roll:

Hands down Dogtra, spen the money now instead of spending less and then end up still buying a dogtra in the end.

No problem

same thing I use on the dogs. Ivermectrin injectable 1% cattle and swine,

The cattle and swine. You would be surprised how soluble it really is.

John you have always been a thinking man...... :roll:

I have been seeing singles and pairs all spring and summer, my point was that these birds are starting to covey up and create communities.

I use about a half CC per gallon. Never had a problem with worms with my pheasants, quail, or pigeons. I worm them about every 3 months.

Went for a drive last night for about an hour before sunset and was invigorated by what I saw! I was able to spot 3 separate healthy coveys with 15-25 birds each along the roads. These were all on grounds that I hunt and train on. As of now I havent been able to train much due to an accident and the...

I am in Extreme NE KS, only about 15 miles from NE at most and last night I went for a drive for about an hour and spotted 3 coveys, and 6 singles while driving the dirt roads. Should be a GREAT year barring any natural disasters.

Depends on the time of the year. This time of the year you can find lots of "what do with my new puppy", "Which puppy should I choose", etc. I don't see where this is a problem other that for the folks that get tired of the question. How many of the same folks that are complaining are the same peopl...

+1 Rinker. The right thing isnt always popular.

When an animal begins to take food off my table then I eat them.

JK!

I agree texan. We are split up enough as it is. Where do you draw the line? Heck I have been lobbying for a doggie pedicure subforum for YEARS! :roll: Nobody listens to me.

You have to let them leave on their own. Through the bobs multiple times. Get ready to lose some birds no matter how well you plan for it.

North Central is traditionally a good area, because of this it is also busy. Get yourself a wiha map, good pair of boots, and a tank of gas. There are birds everywhere in this state.

Only way to know it to try it. Like previously mentioned, it works best under dark overpasses and barns. The fact that the overpass is lighted will cause more trouble than its worth. Find another spot.
