And by the gray skies....I'd say outside of Pittsburgh.

Any idea on length of rope Ken uses?

Thanks everyone. Seems from some of the responses and private messages that my personal info is too telling.....gonna have to tweak it a little :O

Everything is preliminary, but I want to be...

Hi, looking at potential move to Ohio. Would split work between Powell and Zanesville. Would live in between. Grew up in PA (eastern). Lived in Pgh for 7 yrs and so am familiar with latitude,...

I love it. Have watched it several times. Turn down the lights, crack a beer, and turn up the volume.....Our season starts Saturday and this video has me foaming at the mouth...almost can...

X2. Just watch how a dog hunts up a planted Dokken vs. a bumper and you can appreciate the difference. My dog winds them easier and is more excited about Dokkens because they stink.....no extra...

Just cup your hands on the side of your mouth, take in air, and say "Here Duck! Here Duck!"

You should search this topic as it was discussed about a year ago with similar mixture of comments. I will shoot over my dog and have others do it as well. As has been mentioned....need to have...

There is a big difference sometimes between the dog you want and the dog you need. Everything happens for a reason.

In the end your new buddy may be the benchmark that all your future dogs are...

1) Thermocell.
2) Teal whistle (not a must).
3) Lots of water for hydration for you (and the dog---swamp water can taste nasty).
4) Thermocell.
5) No more than a 1/2 to full dozen teal dekes are...

It really does depend on the patient, regardless of species. For some it does nothing. For some it makes all the difference. If you want to do it right, there is a loading period and then...

If your dog is trained to sit and be sent remotely, I found that doing stand alone marks was a nice way to incrementally extend my dog's distance. It also allowed me to continually change the...

Thanks FOM. One additional question if you don't mind. In the quote below regarding "corrections with the collar come into play", do you give indirect - Sit-nick-sit- and then cast or do you do...

I will have to respectfully disagree with you. Subjectivity is greater with OFA (perhaps you feel this is the case as well, but could not tell from your post). This increased subjectivity is not...

So after a load of bumpers, do you offer to do your neighbor's laundry before your own to avoid seasoning your own with "residue de dog"? If not, what is proper etiquette after doing a load of...

I am still relatively new to this hunt test stuff. I entered one seasoned event last year and did not pass. Hopefully this test season will be different. Personally, I want to be proud of my dog's...

Excellent quote. LOL
