Not from there, but have made the trip to the Waverly grounds for the national trial. Nebraska is part of the Midwest region with Iowa. There's some very good dogs running in that region and they have probably the best bird planter in the country too. You should check them out. Who is the bird plan...

Sorry to hear. I have pulled my fair share of cats and dogs out of house fires, and it truly sucks when they don't make it.

As a firefighter, when you are on a roof, in the dark, with a 900 degree fire beneath you and you have to vent a roof fast, and get down before you fall through, you have no time for an unreliable saw. Every Stihl saw we have are temperamental, and I refuse use one. I use one of our Cutter's Edge (m...

Had an idea today after seeing a tv comercial about cloning your pet. We find a hof dog clown, go boy ,crocket, fritz. The line is not the point of this idea. First we clone a litter of dogs, every dog the same dna, all male, same egg, ect,ect. Sell these dog at unreasonable price to anyone who wan...

That's because they charge per pound.

Crate train him. Keep him in the crate for a few hours. As soon as you let him out, take him to the door, and go out with him. Do not come back in until he goes. Play with him no more than 15-20 minutes before you take him out again. If you aren't keeping a constant eye on him, in the crate he goes...

Grab the little guy by the scruff of his neck and shake him and toss him outside. Do it every time he less inside wether you catch him in progress it just as he finishes. Keep him in the same room with you when he is not in a crate. If you crate train like I said, there won't be a need to "shake hi...

What do you know, you don't even like grouse......

Firemedic

Kirkland warbler habitat. All jack pines now, a total waste of great land if you ask me. They planted those a while back, some never grew, so you have hundreds of acres of barren land.

I'm glad MI has CPL reciprocity with MO and KS!

oh yeah, and the I-70 interchange down town can really suck as far as the sinage goes. Once you get to KCMO propper, have a full tank of gas and dont stop till you get through!

What's on I-35? The po-leece?

Firemedic

Did the breeder give you any return policy? Seems there was a reason he sold you a 9 month old Britt and didn't keep it for himself.

Firemedic

I am heading to Paola Ks from the Detroit area tomorrow night to pick up a few EP pups. If anyone needs dogs transported to/from those areas, let me know, hopefully I can help you out. They will be transported in a nice insulated MountainTop dog box. Unless they are puppies, then they can ride up fr...

Michigan. Dry, dry dry. All my good coverts were dry, and hardly any birds to be found. Looked for some low ground and found some. Shot these 5 by 4pm on the opener over the lab. Moved 7, killed 5. http://i327.photobucket.com/albums/k468/Capt1904/Bigtailgate.jpg Shot a few over one of my pointers: h...

Firemedic

Yes, my lab is a flusher, and a very efficient one at that. I have no problem killing a few dozen grouse over him every season. The Vdog belongs to a buddy of mine, and I have killed a few over it. Every GSP I have are all good grouse dogs, light on their feet, silent, fast and eficient at covering ...

Firemedic

I try to shoot as many as I can if I have a young dog (under 2) on the ground. They hold tight, they stink, they are forgiving, and when they do flush, they don't fly far. Perfect for a young dog learning the ropes in the woods. If the dog busts them, you can correct the dog and go find it, cause it...

Firemedic

I think it's more about who's driving the truck than it is what's in the dog box. I can shoot them over a lab: http://i327.photobucket.com/albums/k468/Capt1904/dogs072-1.jpg http://i327.photobucket.com/albums/k468/Capt1904/hunting-dogs003.jpg I can shoot them over GSP's: http://i327.photobucket.com/...

Sorry to hear Ron. She was a good looking animal.

Firemedic

It's funny how quick excuses start, those dogs you ran against are weekend hunting dogs, not NSTRA field trial dogs (I would say the competition was fairly equal in experience and ability) . Those guys running PL's were just happy that you gave them a shot. They really appreciated the hospitality, ...

Firemedic

Even the Detroit Lyons won a game last year, right? :lol: Actually, Scott Townsend and I are the ones who put this on, it all started from two dudes arguing on the net about if labs point or not. Scott offered up his place and to plant the birds. The lab guys brought the best of the best. We had som...

Firemedic

I'd just stay away from the pronghorn. Not as high quality, and they are made over seas. Stick with the Grouse, they are US made, and much higher quality.

Firemedic

Rookie, that sounds about right. However, Danner boots run very narrow. I have something like a D width, but order EE boots. What I really like about that design of boot, it the lace-to-toe design. I couldn't imagine after 13 years of wearing nothing but, going to a traditional boot lace design. Cou...

Firemedic

For an inexpensive sideby with a straight stock, look at CZ.

Firemedic

At work I am sometimes in my boots for the full 24 hr shift. I have and always will wear Danner. I have 11 pair of them, including these two: http://www.danner.com/boots/grousetm-hunting-boots.html http://www.danner.com/hood-winter-lighttm-200g-hunting-boots.html Danner boots are totally rebuildable...

They can make a custom fit box for you.

I guess as a general rule, scenting conditions aren't that great when the temps are high and wind is blowing hard, but how much difference would you see. If you have a dog that consistently gives a good showing at 60F with 7mph winds, what do you think would happen if it had to run at 90F with 15-2...

Firemedic

After awhile, i highly doubt you are going to write down your points, backs, or retrieves. To me, it's usless information. It's not gonna help you kill any more birds. When I grouse hunt, I do keep track of flush rates, birds killed and their crop contents, M/F grouse, and what dog(s) I had on the g...

Firemedic

I would recommend having the gun professionally fitted to you. If you are going to spend that much, go all the way. It can turn a poor shooter into something that will become an extension of your body, and a natural to shoot. Out of all the high end shotguns I own/have owned, I can honestly say I ha...

Firemedic

90% of the guys I trial with use Benelli M 1's and M 2's. I personally use a Remington 1100 sporting 28ga with fancy walnut stock, or bad weather/training use a Remington SxS 20ga. No way will I take out any high dollar double gun to train with, learned my lesson.

Firemedic

Good luck to everyone. Are you the one I spoke with up at Nick Miller's place while we had the storm delay?

Firemedic

PM Drifter Saver here on this site. I know he now has a MTCK trailer he is selling, but I believe he also had a Creative.

Firemedic

I for one wouldn't mind seeing more pics! If I didn't own bird dogs, I'd sure as heck would own some of them. I think the Red Bones, Blue ticks, and the other coon breeds are BA dogs.

Firemedic

I'll take the cheaper one......

Firemedic

My lab, pointers and shorthairs ride on the box, any Brittany I have to transport can ride in the spacious drawer.
