The DEC did substantial controlled burns this spring. Combine that with the recent rain and we finally have Swimming Water and Green Rolling Fields!!
If you have never been to an HRC Hunt Test now...

I'm kinda new to this but "The Grand" is just that. I train with a lot of AKC people that are in awe of the talent and control needed to run the Grand. It is the culmination of years of work and...
Exactly what I was referring to.
Thank you
Has anyone used these Cheditte primers? I just need them for the blank gun but I know my gun doesn't cycle right with some.

Bob Bertram, fine artwork and beautiful lanyards.

On my swing through I was always taught, Butt...Bird...Beak...BOOM!
BB
Thanks, right now I can get birds @ 3 for $10 so that's not bad. I may have to do the trap thing as time passes.
BB
I had the same problem with my pup. I didn't want to use the collar since it was already excitement oriented. I couldn't see how a nick would help. I used other dogs, birds, and guns to create the...
Gregg,
If you don't mind me asking, which trap did you get and how do you like it?
Broadbill
Frank
Does the trap have to be elevated or could I have success on the ground?
BB
I just wanted to say thanks for the replies. I asked a question, those of you who were kind enough to help deserve my thanks. Sorry it took so long.

I've been having lots of trouble getting my Boykin to handle. He's finally coming around but he has a real loopy sit. I realize he's a Spaniel and part of the problem is that he's extremely fast....
I agree, but I don't think I'll be trading in my Muck boots for Wellingtons any time soon. Of course a fine English Double would be nice.
BB
Please excuse my ignorance but do HD symptoms show as early as a year? I always thought it was a later in life kinda thing.
BB
My pup, Chief's Yankee Rebel just turned 2 yrs old. We're all alone as far as Boykins go up here on Long Island but everyone who meets him loves him. He is a ball of fire in the field, and a perfect...
Good Luck with them. If I can get Rebel through Seasoned this year I may be looking for a second...:rolleyes:

At first I thought you had 9 Black ducks there George, but on closer inspection I see the neck ring on some Mallards.
Are you getting out? Hows your season so far? I still haven't shot a puddle...
Just a bump.

Congratulations. How old should the dog be before doing those tests?
Frank
Some people are like Slinkies.. Not really good for anything..
But they still bring a smile to your face when you think about pushing them down a flight of stairs.
Vicky, that's just great!!
You should still bring him out sometime. I'm sure we can find him a spot in the shade where he can still take in the sights and scents of the field.
Frank
Hey George,
Is that a Springer in your avatar? Do you still have it? You know I'm a spaniel man.
Frank
Janet,
Thanks for clearing up my flyer questions. I never thought about the shots from the field. It makes perfect sense now.
BB
I know it's not the norm but can you use live flyers in HRC? If I'm correct they shoot flyers in Upland, why not in a regular hunt? It just doesn't make sense to simulate a hunt with a syringe when...
