ezzy
how much canola oil would you give a 55 pound skinny dog?

dugger13

All of the speculation on health topics alone was enough for me not to neuter my male, or at least put it off till he is 2-3 years old.

dugger13

No i am not name calling.

What type of throw dummies do you all use. My supply has disappeared. I was using a soft foam type, but the dogs have ripped them apart. What do you recommend? i have been on LCsupply, gundogsonline, etc...

I do have a puppy who is a little hard mouthed.

dugger13

Sorry i can't help, but have to say. It is topics like this that make me feel extremely lucky to be able to walk out my door, and hunt in more places that i can imagine. I have never been to a place like you are describing.

dugger13

how did he do when you took him last weekend. that is probably your best indicator so far. More than anyone on a forum can help so far. I would bring him out as much as a can and just make it as fun as ever.

here is a collection of photos i mashed up from my first trip to SD this october.

THe tritronics collars do not have a locate feature to my knowledge. you have to turn the beeper on and off again, which results in series of beeps and other noises. i may be wrong on this. i do know that the dogtra has a locate button, you push it, it beeps once, you hold it down, it continues to b...

The woodcocks are still in northern wisconsin. i moved 9 again last night in 2 hours. I am way up north too.

dugger13

i have a stoeger uplander supreme and absolutely love it.

dugger13

Went out and found 10 woodcock on sat in 4 hours of hunting. I am shocked that they are still around here in northern wisc.

dugger13

i have the 2502, the same thing but 2 dog version. I will say i love the collar. the beepers are fantastic. The charge lasts forever. One thing i have noticed between the brands is this. The tritronics beepers seem to go off alot. even when the dog is moving and not on point. I have hunted with a fr...

dugger13

thanks for all the replys. i mainly asked because i didn't think it would be right to feed say 8 cups of food a day. I will worm the dog. i have some wormer from my vet that i used on my pup. He said i can go ahead and use it on both dogs. I also ordered some enzymes that people have talked about. I...

dugger13

i haven't dewormed her since she was a puppy. I would worm her. You can buy panacur or other such products at farm/home or feed stores that cover several types of worms. I feed my large male shorthair 3 cups a day (different food but comperable calories) so 6 seems like a lot. You'd certainly be be...

dugger13

what type of enzyme would i get?

dugger13

her coat is shiny. when we hunt, she goes for about 2 hours before starting to lag around. She is not a big running dog though. stays close, within 50 yards. You can see her ribs, and backbone pretty easily. Couple more pics i have. i haven't dewormed her since she was a puppy. http://i325.photobuck...

dugger13

I have had a heck of a time trying to keep weight on my GSP. She is now 3.5 years old. Still hasn't "filled out". To me she looks skinny. My question is. Right now i feed her 6 cups of food a day. If she gets more, her stool gets runny. Even now, her stools are not the hardest, but manageable. I am ...

dugger13

The fuzzy face dog is sure fun to watch. He is probably my best hunting dog yet. While we were pushing one part of the field, he took off on a scent trail. Went about 400 yards out of the way. I was pretty torn on this trip. Normally i let my dogs run as far as they want and don't talk to them. But ...

I finally did it. I went out to SD to hunt Pheasants. I had a blast. We ended up shooting 65 birds in 3 days. There was 10 in the hunting party. We did the traditional "line up and drive" style of hunting. Something i did not want to do, but it ended up very fun. My dogs did good. Each of them have ...

dugger13

I just got back from my first trip out there. We had 10 guys, shot 65 birds in 3 days. All the crops were still on.

dugger13

i also have the 2502 and love it. But it doens't have the VIBRATE function as you wanted. I don't know if there is a collar on the market that has the vibrate function and a beeper on it. You may end up getting a seperate beeper collar.

i just bought 2 of these. Really like them. They don't stink after they get wet. Nice feel to them. Pretty cheap too.

dugger13

Thanks everyone, but this turned out easier than i thought. All i needed to do was go into the break room here at work. turns out a guy i know is leaving next friday for wagner SD. I am now going with him. They have a family connection out there on some private land. They have been going for years. ...

dugger13

First let me start by saying that i can open my northern wisconsin cabin up to anyone who will help me out. I have some time i need to burn off before the end of the year. i am looking to try a pheasant hunting trip or sharptails. i know i could just pack up and go, but that makes me kind of nervous...

dugger13

thought i would give anyone a heads up as if they didn't already know. I went to 2 of my local spots this weekend. My young pup went nutz and took off through the woods each time. I am sure he was chasing a wolf or on the track of one. The first spot he went about 400 yards away, i could just barely...

dugger13

just hit the forest roads and walk in what looks like good areas. i don't hunt down there too much.
go here and you can see some of the public trails
http://www.fs.fed.us/r9/cnnf/rec/huntin ... index.html

do you have a guide, or self hunter? anyone local helping you out?

dugger13

wear good boots

have you ever been up here? i don't hunt that low in the state, i am way up north. what part are you going to?

dugger13

i second the garmin astro. i don't have one, but when i add up how much i spent on beepers and a handhelds, it isn't that much different.

dugger13

I have a dogtra with the beeper built into the collar. absolutely love it. I think it is s 2802. Best collar i have ever owned. The collar stays in place very good. You don't have to worry about the beeper flopping over to one side and constantly adjusting it. They are very lightweight, compact, sma...

dugger13

Has anyone every just shaved the facial fuzz of the dog during hunting season? or cut it down? Will it affect anything, besides his ego? I am thinking long term effects, maybe....

Ran across this website. Has anyone here been on one of their hunts? i am assuming they bring you into the public land national forest.

dugger13

great post . thanks

dugger13

The proof is in the picture

dugger13

Went out on opening morning. Lots of leaves, but managed to find one that was shootable. Saw 8 woodcock and 2 grouse in the two hours i hunted.

dugger13

all good things to know. my GWP has a good body coat, but that ugly face

really picks up the garbage.

dugger13

Holy smokes did thread ever evolve. I hope the new comer isn't scared off. Anyway, I think he question is definitely answered somewhere in here. One thing is for sure. You never really know what kind of dog you are going to get. Your chances are greater if you stick with a proven breeding pair, but ...

dugger13

Anyone know a secret on how to remove the burrs off the fuzzy face of a wirehair?

dugger13

I have seen wolves in the wild. Luckily they just passed by, and my dogs were close to me. Scary stuff though.

dugger13

i agree. i think the cycle is peaking this year, but the woodcocks are still climbing up and up in numbers where i am.

dugger13

all i can say is poor guy, if it ever does happen. My wife doesn't like the "look" of the junk. I can now reassure her that when the time comes, the trash will get thrown away. I thought it was a castration type procedure.

dugger13

I would honestly pay about 150 bucks, (top price) for a dog breed in this style. Most people who buy your pups are not going to care what the pedigrees say. Some may not even know how to read it.

dugger13

I have a male dog. When they neuter a dog, do they completely remove the testicles? If i wait until he is 4-5-6-7 years old, will they completely remove them then? Or do they keep the testicles and do a vesctomy type thing? i have never had a male before, only females

dugger13

i would keep doing what you are doing. One day the light will go off and she will point the bird. If you have access to pigeons and launchers, you can try it, but you might end up screwing up more that helping. There is no substitution for wild birds, and it seems you have more than enough encounter...

dugger13

.270, 30.06, .308, .243 are probably the most popular guns. I think the smallest gun you can use is a 223.

Some people are required to use a rifled slug barrel shotgun because of were they live.

dugger13

The dog sounds like a perfectly normal dog to me. Remember she is at a another new place. It will take a little time. But if she is good with your kids, family, i would have no reservations taking the dog in. She is obviously birdy and like to point pigeons. The rest will work itself out in time. De...

i actually can legally shoot deer in my yard in town. Plus i do bow hunt as well. We shoot them every year with our city permits.
Deer are like rats up here. They can't get rid of them fast enough.

dugger13

10 years is pretty young yet. what did your VET say? Any previous health issues? I would keep her in the house, clean and as happy as can be, but talk to the VET.

dugger13

Although after i think about it, this does encourage sight pointing.

This is a regular occurrence at my house. I think i could probably get this deer to eat out of my hands if a tried at it.

dugger13

Snowfall makes it more fun for us up here

Whatever you do, don't go east. That will be deer season in Wisconsin. I think it might also be gun season in minnesota as well.

dugger13

My first question is how far out is he hunting from you? I have never heard the beeper or tone on the G2. Do they sound the same? If they do, you may be asking for trouble. A while ago i had a innotek collar that had a tone only option. i used it to do exactly what you are saying. I overlayed the co...
