For those who run hun tests, as an average, what would you say you have seen for ages for earning titles at the various levels (JH, SH, MH)? I say this, with us knowing it is all dependent on the the dog and the training. I think a bit pitfall many fall into (include me), is putting a timeline out t...

Appreciate all of the kind words! I’m thinking of entering her in the Specialties at the big Madison, Wisconsin show in February. I’ll be a fish out of water. But, if you’re gonna jump, jump off a cliff. Not the couch. This dog was purchased to be a; hunting, hunt test, field trial dog. Never though...

I have shown two dogs to a CH and put points on many others. Enjoy the ride.

Any suggestions for the first go?

She heels well. Her stride is nice. We are working on a seamless stacking flow.

Not really sure what else there may be.

Anyone on the boards run Conformation shows? Looking at entering my first one next month. NEVER thought about doing them. However, after all of the compliments I've received on the youngest (from people who show), I figured I would give it a shot. I'm going to be a fish out of water! :D Gia "Shark"....

Reviving this as I have been away for a looooong time. If you haven't picked up a pup yet (or for future knowledge), check out Dem Feuerhaus Gundogs in Hondo, TX. Renay knows what she is doing!

It has been forever since I have posted here. I've been busy with house work, work, training dogs and life. Not to mention me contemplating a career change (so if anyone here is in the tech industry (software, cyber, web), I'd love to pick your brain). Here are a few images of some training sessions...

Sorry for the delayed response! Have not been on here in a while, obviously. I will post more later this week. As for equipment....... Camera Body: Nikon D810 Lenses: 14-24mm, f/2.8 70-200mm, f/2.8 50mm, f/1.8 Those are my primary lenses that I use. No lens filter either. Slows up the autofocus syst...

I have my homer loft set up with a big flight pen out back. also re-entry bob's back there. I tie up the bob's and let them come and go as they please then week or so later start dropping one bob at a time to train them to trap. Before them, all I had was ferals and when I got young squeaker's from...

TheMorningRise

Where did you get them? Nice looking birds. Not getting anything out of my bids this year. A guy in Wisconsin. Things are hard to come by so I am glad I got them. I purchased 16 and lost 3 putting them into the loft! :oops: I'm hoping that at least 10 will return once I open the trap doors to the l...

New batch of squeakers are now home in the loft!

Good looking batch too.

Now to get them used to the loft and taught to use the trap doors.

I am wondering what everyone's thoughts are between the two. For a looooong time, I was a Beretta fan, but I feel as though their current models leave a bit to be desired (in terms of aesthetic appeal). About a year ago, I had a chance to handle a Caesar Guerini Magnus Light and was fairly impressed...

Thank you all for the kind words.

I hope you all enjoy those and that they bring light to our everyday lives with what is going on in the world currently!

No they are all excellent information, as are the Clinics they hold. There is gun acclimation information in the Perfect Start and some Retrieving Basics but the Perfect Retrieve and Perfect Gun Acclimation take each of those subjects much deeper and use improved methods and end to end processes.

What gauge are you looking at and what type of shooting do you plan on doing with these guns?

12ga. and 20ga.

Both with 28" barrels.

Mostly Pheasant. Some Chukar. May entertain a 26" for Grouse.

FF's post is what I am saying. This happens to most people when the get a little older. It was a surprise to me. I have been a hunter and guide most of my life. My old dogs had thousands of bird shot over them. All of my family are hunters and deer season is a huge deal. We shoot a lot of deer for ...

TheMorningRise

Not much of a challenge to shoot deer with an arrow from a modern bow. My 12 year old grand kids do it all the time. How many use a long bow or a recurve. A deer at fifty yards is nothing with a good bow. How about a spear that would be a challenge. Shooting birds with a arrow would be a challenge....

One thing I have discovered is that as we get older we start to value life more. Killing everything I can is not very important to me any more. My kids, grand kids and great grand kids do most of the shooting now. I use a camera more than a gun..…..Cj Yea if I was out to "kill everything" I don't t...

Anyone running any tournaments this Fall/Winter/Spring?

Thinking, if all goes well, I may try to run the Packerland Series. My goal, is to be ready for the US Open Pheasant Championship.

May not work out as I have planned, but its a plan/goal anyway!

I am passionate about both. Fortunately I am retired now living on whitetail/turkey farm with decent populations of bobwhites and pheasants around, some dove hunting, good waterfowl with 1.5 hours in all directions.

This is awesome! Was it your design or the taxidermist's?

My design idea. They pulled it off. Mostly.

Again, I'd change a few things but all in all, I am pleased with it!
