Another solution is to put a snow fence around the JH. This keeps the larger preditors away from the actual house and also helps keep the dogs away from the house. Let the grass grow inside the fense.

Mark,
I thought you understood my instructions on how and where to plant birds to steady your dog. Please give me a call. There are a few small points we need to discuss.

I would like to suggest some things which would facilitate the management of this project. If possible a place needs to be created which lists all the terms that people would like to see defined. Nothing more than a list of terms. Need one person to maintain the list. All terms are to be submitted t...

Mexican Standoff - two dogs backing each other. Each thinking the other is pointing a bird.

Ken Lynch

DogNewbie,
It is not unusual for a term to have multiple meanings. Just look in any of the dictionaries. Just list the agreed to definitions for a term and move on. Your example is spot on for multiple meanings for that term.

I think the project is doable and worthwhile.

Ken Lynch

Bill, This is a BIG and beautiful country. You need to get out more. There is still a lot of big and different texture country you have yet to see. You and your dogs need to be exposed to them all. You are young and have time to do it. You may change some of the things you do in training back East. ...

Ken Lynch

Have a friend who uses them to steady his broke dog for hunt test or field trials. He will plant the bird and let the dog go on point. He then gets bird to walk away of do one of its poor flight. He then blanks the bird and heels the dog off. After putting dog away he goes back and picks up the bird...

From the get-go it was also stated that winner would be determined by combined performance first and second series. Congratulations to all who made it the second series.

Ken Lynch

Come on you guys. Stop taking things so literally. Life in not a black or white, or yes or no situation. A Red Tail Hawk can and will take a pigeon in the air if he is lucky. Even a blind pig finds an acorn once in a while. Think of fighter aircraft. If you have the height advantage and come from be...

I thought it was like home invasion rules. Someone breaks into you home and attacks a member of your family you can use deadly force to defend yourself.

Ken Lynch

Bruce, I did not mean to imply that the gallery was overly raucous. However, that said there is an additional background noise associated with 40 – 50 people riding horses and talking. One person talking quietly is one thing. 20 - 30 talking quietly is quiet but not as quiet. Kind of like the differ...

Ken Lynch

Come on folks. The real reason it never occurred to them that they could lose a doe is because they are surrounded by water. Where could the dog go?

Ken Lynch

I am currently at the AKC Gun Dog Championship. I arrived last Monday in the afternoon. I do not ride a horse so all that I have seen personally has been at the breakaways or small portions of the course as the brace makes a road transition from one side to the other and I have not seen all braces. ...

Not black...dark liver.

Ken Lynch

Sounds like he was hunting at a preserve. He either had a good day finding extra birds or he had the preserve put out a lot of birds.

Ken Lynch

Is that a motor cycle with a V-8 next to the dog? Also as part of training the dog I thought you were supposed to plant the birds out in their natural environment, not yours.

Ken Lynch

Inquiring minds want to know. What happened at the trial?

Ken Lynch

Some European hunters would disagree. For proper aged bird they would hang by neck or lower beak, dead bird, guts and all until lower beak or head came off. Even aged beef is a controlled version of meat rotting.

Ken Lynch

I would say guts and all. It is the enzymes from the breakdown of the intestines that cause "ageing" to occur.

Ken Lynch

I would pluck grouse and phesants when I was not as old as I am now. Get a pail of hot water. Dunk the bird into the hot water. Put bird into hot water and count to 10 then remove bird and start working loose feathers. Repeat until done. If you leave the bird in the hot water to long it tends to set...

Ken Lynch

Say high to Chuck Parietti and Art Armbrust for me. Both good people and will take the time to help you. Kind of wish the trial had worked into my travel plans.

Ken Lynch

I cannot argue with northern cajun. I got to hunt Woodcock and ducks with him last month. I cleaned the birds with skin on as per Frank and cooked them as directed by his friend Cal Guidry. It was a great meal. However, I must admit that I have an adventurist pallet and am willing to try new things....

Ken Lynch

Everyone has pretty much said it all. Puppy stakes are natural ability stakes. It is all about the puppy and not the handler. Let her show what she has figured out on her own and do not distract her by opening your mouth. If she will turn when you ask her, do so only when absolutely necessary. If sh...

Ken Lynch

As far as chukars and pheasant go treat them just like the chicken you buy from the store. That is if you purchase skinless chicken, then take the shin off the birds. If you buy fillets then filet the birds. etc. etc. etc. The other source of flavor is a result of how you process the birds. I prefer...

Ken Lynch

Mark, by that time I am further South and East on my way back home.

Ken Lynch

Mark, can you make it down to Neises Ranch, Howard, KS on 2/18-19/2012? Sunflower GSPC club is having a Walking Field Trial and I will be there with Bones. Juvenile stakes are all natural ability and you the handler are along for the ride. Puppy stakes are all about run and going to cover looking fo...

Ken Lynch

I think I am going. Sent entries for Puppy and Derby. If the truck holds up I am planning to hit the trial on my way back from CA.

Ken Lynch

What we have here is a failure to communicate. That is because the word “champion” is not a precise word but rather has different meanings to the reader which are dependent on things not brought to the conversation or writings. Thus this thread will never have a chance of being anything other than a...

Ken Lynch

Something a little different for woodcock is the following: Brest the woodcock or leave on breast plate. Soak in salt water for about 24 hours. Cook lightly in pan with some onions and butter until onions are transparent. Let the Woodcock cool and remove bone. Put Woodcock meat and onions into food ...

Ken Lynch

It was VERY tasty. I just wish that the souse had turned out a little thicker. I just like my stews, Gumbos, sauses on the thick side.

Ken Lynch

Education is a never ending process. Do not let your lack of imagination be the cause of the dog to stop learning. We have all seen or heard of the unexpected happen during an event. Most times people say that will never happen again. But some say that is just another thing to work into the training...

My last day to hunt in Louisiana has arrived and Frank (Northern Cajun) has managed to escape from work on Saturday. We meet at 5:00 AM at the end of some lonely road that seemed to go no ware but deeper into the swamp along the levies. That is where I meet Frank, and two friends of his Cal and Shaw...

Ken Lynch

Northern Cajun invited me down to hunt . However he has gotten tangled up in work and we have not been able to get together to hunt yet. He directed me to a local spot which is hunted very heavy by out of state people and locals. I have been down here three days and have managed 3 Woodcock so far. H...

OK please show me the beeks of the wild ones and the beeks of the domestic ones.

Ken Lynch

I am currently on a road trip from NY going South West. I took a detour down to Louisiana and that is as far as I have gotten so far. However my observation is that in all my trips that I have taken over the years I have never seen as many dead dogs along the road side of the interstates that I have...

Ken Lynch

To all a Happy New Year. May it be the best one yet!

Ken Lynch

This is the story a friend of mine told me. He was hunting deer in NY this Fall during Muzzle Loader season. He was sitting on the ground with his back to a tree. A doe was approaching from his front. As he was raising his gun for a shot, his trigger finger arm was hit from behind in the bicep. This...

Sorry for the delay in responding. Holidays and brand new computer tend to slow things down. First, thanks to all for the pat on the back. Second, I finally got some pictures to post. http://i915.photobucket.com/albums/ac356/KennethRLynch/211102-101a.jpg http://i915.photobucket.com/albums/ac356/Kenn...

Ken Lynch

Love the pictures! I am green with envy with what you have available.

If I could put up with the summer heat I might consider moving down there.

Ken Lynch

I would like to go. However, I got screwed up with Holidays and when the world would get back to work. I am forced to wait until tomorrow to send in my entry. Not sure if I will get it in before they hit the 132 entry limit.

Ken Lynch

Blah Blah Blah. Need some pictures! Then I can realy get sick with envy.

As you well knbow there is no way howie or you cn list people who cheated on a public forum without exposing you and the forum to a law suit. if you really feel you need names then do it privately and stop cluttering this topic up. Ah the heavy hand of threat and fear once again is used to quash in...

Ken Lynch

One thing that has not been discussed is the fact that two strange dogs are braced together, whether you start at Junior, Senior, or Master. Your dog, in your mind, can be the most broke dog ever to hit the ground. However if it has never been run with another unknown dog you never know what is goin...

Ken Lynch

This thread and most forums remind me of what the TV News has become. Very little specific fact mixed with a lot of innuendos and topped off with a heaping of personal biased opinion. The blending of which makes it very difficult to separate one form from the other.

Ken Lynch

OK, I will be the first to start the conversation. 1. All puppies explore the world through their mouth. It is a phase, just go with the flow. 2. Tug of war is bad because it gives the dog the impression that it can hold on to a bird and fight you for it, rather than willingly give it to you. 3. Jus...
