Top picks on equipment
What is at the top of your list for the best piece of training equipment you ever bought or made? The item(s) you feel were worth every penny and you would buy again in a quik minute.
For me it's got to be the bird hoses: tethers made from a 1' piece of rubber hose with a weight in one end and a piece of rope on the other which attaches to the bird's leg with a rubber band. Throw the tethered bird into cover, later-when the dog points it, just step on the hose and pull the bird free in one motion. the rubber band breaks and away he goes!
Cost = 1-2 Dollars
Warning: if you use these on your good homers, be sure to go out to the loft and remove what's left of the rubber band or the bird's foot will die and fall off!

I would have to say a good pair of leather gloves. No but seriously, for me I would say the "kick-cans" and then the obvious cc's and tri-tronic e-collar.
BTW- if you like the "wonder leads", next time you need one go to a farm and ranch store and buy a "piggin' string". It is the same thing for about 1/2 the price.

Nothing beats and early morning rise, be it a trout or a covey.
