When pheasant hunting do you train your lab to be steady on shot and or flush? Or do you just let him get on it? Up until this point I haven't trained it and I can't complain. Only ever lost one bird...
I have one. Can't convince my friend to just buy one.
Friend wants to train using a real 22 caliber revolver with blanks instead of buying a starter pistol. Can't seem to find any laws against it. Pa hunting digest says he can't carry a rifle or...
It's for when I'm not home
My sportdog bark collar died and it never really worked right. They sent me a new one even though it was out of warranty but that one didn't work. So I'm looking to buy a new one. I thinking the...
That's exactly what I need. Thanks
I have lab trained for duck hunting. This fall I took a walk with him and my gun hoping for some doves and he started flushing pheasant like crazy. After that we were limiting out every time....
The first water retrieve my dog made he did that. I think trying to see the bumper better. After a while he did it less and less. Has she been swimming long?
This worked great for me.
Wondering what I should feed my dog along with his regular diet during hunting season. He worked his butt off today finding me some pheasants. He's gotta be burning a serious amount of calories. Plus...
Congrats on the good morning. Still got a few days till season starts here. Did manage to drop a pheasant out in a lake today so that was pretty exciting. Felt like duck hunting.
Just wondering, do most people keep their dog out in the open so he can mark better or try to hide the dog during duck hunts? This will be my dogs first season. Also want to say thanks for all the...
Great story. It's nice to hear a happy ending every once in a while.
The smartfetch DVD is very good. I had problems with transitioning from my hand to the ground and there was great detail on this in the DVD.
Mayhem miller is usually fun to watch but that ju jitsu guy he fought was so boring. Inflicted no damage and just smothered miller. He won fair and square but it was pretty lame.
I second the frontline and the bug bombs to spray the house. They really work.
Is there a dog bug spray I can use to keep ticks off when we go hunting? I use frontline and it keeps them from biting but they are still in his fur. I bathe and brush him but they still crawl out of...
I'm the farthest thing from a pro but it's sounds like your off to a good start. Advice I got was don't do all birds or all bumpers. I used a duck wing once a week or so. That way he was super...
This is my first hunting dog, Drake. Trained for waterfowl but I took him pheasant hunting last week and he did great.

Anyone know roughly how long untill a dog can swim And hunt after being neutered? He is scheduled for a few days before duck season. Hoping he"ll only miss the first weekend. Thanks
I've got a sweet little deal lined up with a generous nigerian man. I only had to send him 10,000 bucks to free up some money and he's going to send me 1 million dollars later. Just waiting for the...
I never thought of the salt water and collar thing. I've heard of it with welding. Someone fill a bucket with salt water and stick a collar in against their hand. Oh and barnacles are my biggest...
I use one of these dummy launchers. Not as good as some of the other launchers mentioned but its affordable. Just make sure you get the one with the shoulder attachment. I broke my thumb yesterday...
I taught it the same way. I think I saw it in a video or read about it. When I say "find it" his nose hits the ground. Its a fun drill.
so did the rope pass?
