Update training and bonding is going very well, he has learned "here" very quick so I am proud! We are also bonding very well andquick, I have become pretty fond of the dog and he of me. I used to have to pick him up and shove him in the kennel, no he jumps up as soon as I drop the tail gate, I thin...

gonehunting4days

well according to the advise you guys have given. I am moving in the right direction. I should have mentioned that last year whenever he did get out and hunt it was with me, and he retrieved every bird shot over him and brought then to me with out commands. So I think the time will be well invested.

This week I brought home a two year old Male GSP. He has little hunting experience, but what I have seen out of him he does have all the natural ability to be a good Bird dog. A little History. He is a dog that my male had sired. in two years he had only been off of his run maybe a dozen times in th...

I am building my own dog box ,and I was wondering if anybody knows where to buy just the metal door??

gonehunting4days

I don't have to worry about quail in MN, and I just let em get out there a little more before I shoot.

I live in Windom which is in the SW part of the state and we have had alot of siteings in the last 3-4 years. If you ask me there its just getting to be to many just to be considered and occasional siting of one passing through the area.

I read an article ast year about pheasant loads and as far as the article went ,they recomended # 2 steel in a 3 inch magnum for less cripples and more dead birds. I tried it and it did real well I did not have as many cripples. This year I bought a case of Federal #3 in a 3 1/2" Mag for ducks and h...

Puppies were born today and I was going to share some pics but how do I upload them into the mesage body.

gonehunting4days

tfbirddog2 I would like to see some pics. The pool is a good idea but I think I like the idea of a box with my kids around.

gonehunting4days

Well I have done the testing, x-rayed the hips and now I have a litter on the way. What I need now are some Ideas,pics and or dimensions of welping boxes others have used in the past. I am looking for someting that will keep the pups in and my kids out for at least a couple of days.

Welcome to the forum

do you have a website or contact number for the Southern MN Pointing Dog Club or Horse & Hunt Club. I'll ask around about Darwin Mt.Lake is 10 miles away from me so someone might know something.

I am having a problem locateing some quail. Does anybody know where to get some south of the Metro area???? I am also looking for shooter pigeon's

gonehunting4days

Thanks everybody for all the advise. It only make sence that they be allowed to mark. If the dog didn't move to mark it would not be a dog I would want to take hunting. For all those wondering where I have been training in this tundra, I live in Windom and a couple freinds of mine have some CRP that...

Tonight I was training and my dog established point, was steady to flush , but when the bird flushed it flew out at the dogs 9 o'clock. When this happened the dog to a step to relocate so he clould see the bird. Does this affect his score for the steadiness??? Or I have also seen a bird get up and w...

I also shoot the Xtrema 2 and it is a really great gun. My two other hunting budies shoot SBE II and have had more problems than I have has with my Xtrema 2. Their SBE II Had more problems cycling when the weather got down to that 5-10 degrees.

Mine would like to see some cookies the kids like to share in that mix.

I bought that Pro 500 G2 EXP last sumer and it is a really good collar.

gonehunting4days

I had a older tri-tronics when I started, Then I bought a DT and now I am back to Tri-Tronics. They are hard to beat. If you are looking to save I few dollars you may want to check out the collar clinic for a refurbished system.

Their website is http://www.collarclinic.com/

Does anybody know where you can get those sticks that the Vets use to stop bleeding. I have seen them used on open wounds and the on the toe nails if they bleed when they are cliped?? My Vet just called them stop sticks.

gonehunting4days

They are very good to work with I had them build me a new transmiter for my old Tri-Tronics Judge.

gonehunting4days

I have read that if MN goes through with the lead band down here they could face oposition from the NRA and Federal Cartridge Company. Federal is a MN company. I also read that the lead abn is not state wide it is just in the Farm Belt.

gonehunting4days

when I was stationed at Bragg I remember seeing them out in the woods when we were training

gonehunting4days

Tri-Tronics,,,,, enough said

gonehunting4days

I had that trip to the vet this year too, and I waited until 10 days, in the past I have had to wait 14 days .

I took my GSP out to the duck blind yesterday with a neoprine vest and he was fine. The temp was just 27 @ sunrise.

gonehunting4days

I like mine to stay with in gun range especially on pheasants

gonehunting4days

I like to expose the pup to what he will see at a test. I will put out a pheasant for a track and let the youngster track away, I will also put out a few quail and /or chukar in a field and let the pup find them, point, you may even wish to shoot them for your dog, I have. I guess this is the same s...

gonehunting4days

It has been good, I've had my fair share at the ducks and geese and now I have been after pheasants and doing pretty well. There is still alot of corn in around here so it hasn't been as good as other years.

Welcome to the forum!! How's the hunting going this fall??

gonehunting4days

How much time do you have in service, It may not be to late for a change, I did it for my family and things are much better now, I have my two shorthairs,wife and 4 kids.

Just an option

gonehunting4days

when I was a kid I had 22/410 that I shot everything with, I miss having that gun around, I think my kids would like to have somthing like this.They are a fun gun.

gonehunting4days

I think I should, he is one heck of a gun dog.

gonehunting4days

When you can Have a dog finished to that level at 15 mo. thats saying some. Got one my self.

I have to agree, there is nothing better than hunting over a well trained dog.

gonehunting4days

I have heard that is at kelly farms in 2008, I am thinking about the invitational but, I may get an OFA prelim done first. It looks like a guy could spend alot of money in entry fees and training to go.

gonehunting4days

I took my 1 year 5 month old GSP mik to the UT test in South Dakota yesterday and received at Prize 1 183. I ran him at 5 1/2 months in the NA and recieved a PZ III and then I ran him again 3 months ago and recieved a PZ I 112. I am pretty Pretty proud of him, this my first dog dog that I finished .

gonehunting4days

I have a GSP the same age as your Pudelpointer . I was showed how to steady useing a whoa post this summer. in one week I had noticable results. I think it took three weeks total and he was steady to fall. not alway perfect everytime but once you are there it is just repitition.

gonehunting4days

not to discourage you from trying to come down here and hunt , but getting permission to hunt on private ground down here is getting harder. alot of slop hunting has messed things up for honest guy at least were I am at. The private ground I do have is the same stuff I had as a kid 15 years ago. But...

gonehunting4days

I just poured mine this summer, It also is a single run. I did the whole thing myself for under $120 and that was for a 6 x 18 pad with some rebar. You do need rebar, not like if you were to drive a car on it but enough to hold it together when it cracks.

I love hush puppies

I feed diamond and have for a couple of years. I have seen the same problem with the anal gland that can be blocked and needs to be drained. I took my bitch into the vet and he said it can be from comming out of her heat cycle he says that sometimes happens. Anyhow gave the vet $17 to drain the glan...

He also passed his AKC JR Hunt title 2 weekends ago up in milaca along with my female GSP Tess. Now its time to start moving towards UT and MH

gonehunting4days

welcome to the forum

gonehunting4days

yeah,
my two can't resist a coon is they come across one.

gonehunting4days

but the best shorthair I have owned to date was given to me and didnt have any titles in 3-4 generations but man was she a BIRDDOG

I have one like that also, and I am working on getting tittles on her. I agree papers are not everything but they do help.

gonehunting4days

So is everbody thinking if birddog took his pointer out and achieved a FC, MH, or UT PZ 1 title he may be able to sell those pups he does not wish to keep easier?
