Go buy yourself a poodle and keep sippin' coffee on the porch. 90% of your problems solved.

Just a tip, your may have better luck if get there at daylight. Doves typically feed early a.m., then roost all day and then feed again around 4pm. And yes, you must be camouflaged. Their vision is great. If you go scout early in the morning you will find their flyway and feeding pattern. They like ...

If possible, try to find someone that can weld and fabricate aluminum. Tell them the dimensions you want and the look. You would be way better off. Mine was made without a floor and it sits on the rubber mat in truck bed. All the welds are solid and if you happen to drop it, you can't hurt it. It's ...

We use Dan's briar proof jackets and chaps. Also use Godwin's hunting jackets. You will not tear these jackets. They protect us from briars and the rain. They offer a light jacket and we normally layer beneath it. This is quality material at a good price. We have the worst briar patches you can imag...

Jiminla

Neil, I think your response is the most accurate. My buddy found that out about 20,000.00 later. He went from surrogaters, to six week old birds and then just dumping out mature bob whites. At times we could not find a bird on the farm or even hear any whistle. Bob whites are just what you say, if t...

Nice looking pup! Be careful, looks like a good place for a cotton mouth to hiding out.

Jiminla

He's taking everything. Our rights, our money, our pride, our sense of security. My check is 51.00 less every pay period now. 1024.00 a year less that I have to enjoy the things that interest myself. I don't like it! I could use this on my hunting lease and dog supplies. Isn't it great to be a worki...

Me and my brother are just hunting old cutovers. We also made a trip to sherburne and Indian bayou with some success. There are a lot of people hunting those reserves. I did not realize that many people had bird dogs.

Jiminla

Hey Creole, there is not many of us with bird dogs from Kinder, I could probably narrow it down with a little more info!

Jiminla

Thanks for responding, I also use the sd 2525 collar with no problems. I just think their beepers are weak. Pisses me off when you pay someone 80$ a piece and they don't even make one hunting season.

Jiminla

Has anyone had problems with the DSL 400 beeper collars. I have two new ones and both are giving me problems. They have not made one hunting season. One is hung in point mode all the time and the other has a low muffled tone when beeping. I have taken the batteries out, tried resetting them, let the...

Woodcock season opened today in Louisiana. Hunted from 630am to 11am and nothing. Tried in three types of terrain which included hardwood bottoms along the creek(lots of wood ducks!!) thickets, and short pine cutover with yellow grass. There just were no woodcock to be found. Waiting on more cold fr...

Jiminla

What a variety! Nice Pics Dave!

We purchase two pups and trained them on our own and my brother purchased a 12 month old ready as I am waiting for a 12 month old finished dog myself. The pups are which are now a year old are working great. They cover the ground very well for quail hunting and adapt perfect in the woods when we woo...

Jiminla

My brother and I own three of his dogs now and a fourth on the way. We are overly pleased with what we see in them. This is their first year and they are doing great!!

Jiminla

Fine lookin dog!

Jiminla

I wish I could help you but we are way down in Louisiana and it's hot as you know what! We try and start around 6am and get a couple of hours in with our dogs. It's just tough down here. We usually set four to five pigeons for launching and let the dogs cool off in the pond afterwards. We are consta...

Jiminla

Put an old shoe or shirt in the kennel with him. Something with your smell on it. Also if possible, during the day put him out on a stake with a cable. Great if someone is at home for intermittent supervision.

Jiminla

I call all of them the "VIDEO GAME GENERATION KIDS"! 80% OF THEM DO NOT WANT TO HUNT OR FISH AND COULD CARE LESS ABOUT THE OUTDOORS. They either have their phones stuck to their face or ear until they worry about who is going to fill their gas tanks again. I also found out that your are "DAD" until ...

Jiminla

Thanks Ray! Info is well taken! I have a very good dog and want to hear these comments and advice from experienced people such as yourself. I think it's great to hear everyones approach to training. Also much thanks to all who responded. Had a good 20 minutes with her this evening with check cord an...

Jiminla

Thanks for the info and clarification. This really helped alot.

Jiminla

Thanks for responding. Does the video give info as to how early or what age the dog should be before using an e-collar?

Jiminla

Can anyone please give some advice as to when its best to start e-collar training on the dog. I have a GSP that is 6.5 months old and have done yard work and intro to pigeons by way of launcher. Her prey drive is tremendous along with her nose. My yard work has been mostly with whoa command and gett...

Jiminla

I would do some yard work with the dog first. Try the wing or rag on the end of a pole and just keep popping it away from him as the dog tries to catch it. After a few times, the dog should start holding point, knowing he can't get the wing or rag. Once this is established, then bring him to the fie...

Jiminla

How about "my dog hunts for me, yours hunts for himself".

Jiminla

No problem in Louisiana-we have alot of people that raise pigeons and they go for around 4$ a bird. Just bought 13 and while putting them in my johnny house, the first one flew out of my hand. I said there goes four dollors. These are just typical barn yard pigeons, but they really do the job for tr...

Jiminla

Pour you a concrete slab with a pen, then let him dig through that!

Jiminla

Take one pigeon and put it in a small wire cage. Get your pup on a 20ft check cord and let it go towards the caged bird and if the interest is there hold her back about five foot. If she wants it, pick up the pup and put her back in the pen. Just start by giving her a taste of it again. Just reintro...

Jiminla

I would let the grass grow natural and cut a couple of strips with a bush hog. That way you can have two clean lanes with grass for cover. It's so much easier with the lanes for dog work. You have the cover to plant your birds and the lanes for you and the to go in and out of. You should have some f...

Jiminla

You should be fine with the puppy run. Just take him on a run in the evenings when you get home. This is the beginning of the "control" aspect as you dictate when he comes out. I find it so funny when someone purchases a new pup or dog and they let it control their whole daily routine. Just remember...

Jiminla

Check with Muddy Creek Kennels. Owner is Craig Burns and I know I saw that bloodline on a few of his dog's pedigrees. We just purchased some pups from him about 5 months ago and are well satisfied with them. I guess its all in what you're looking for. These pups have quick action and can roll throug...

Jiminla

Thanks Max!

Jiminla

Do not do this. Think of 2 things-who will whelp this litter and will it tie up your female during hunting season? I would not agree to breed my jip unless it's under my conditions.

Jiminla

We buy the Harts brand for our gsp's. We live in south Louisiana which is mosquito city and it works great for us. We squeeze a tube on our dogs about every 2.5 months.

Jiminla

Well I guess you could say we are getting back in to the dogs again. My brother and I had bird dogs about 15 years ago and got the urge to start again. We just purchased two GSP pups-about 4 months old right now. Our good friend has 4 new Gsp pups ranging from 4 to 7 months old, so we will be busy t...
