My dog just got into the pantry and ate roughly 15 Dental check ups bones in about 10 minutes while I was in the shower! do I need to worry? Help?

bean1031

How about a labrador or golden retriever. Both great duck dogs and everyone we have had of either one has turned out to be a great pheasent/dove/grouse/quail dog.

bean1031

Great looking dogs!

bean1031

Does calling quail and pheasent with game calls actually work?

bean1031

Cool guys thanks for the input! Im not to worried about AKC. First off i dont activley compete my dog. Second off most people in the dog training world wont be that rude and would have some understanding. Thats as low a tax collector asking a 10 year old for sales tax on their lemonade stand. What d...

Today I was thinking of ways to earn a little cash to save up for my first car and mabbey a gun. I was thinking lawn mowing bussines, summer job at the grocery store ect and thats when it hit me DOG TRAINER. When I was younger I saved up and bought my dog on my own with a dog walking and sitting bus...

It depends what your hunting. Labradors are probably the most versitile although GSPs can be just as good at just about everything. At the same time tho they are pretty hyper dogs and you need to be able to provide alot of exercise. If you want style points, i would vote for the setters. Lewellyns, ...

bean1031, Not much on the new jeep products, we use the Ford Expodition for our Grouse dog training business, we love it and it has the room we need, and gets 18 miles to a gallon of gas, fully loaded. In the past we used Tahoes, the old 95 was a good vehicle, the new ones you can keep, the milage ...

What do you guys think about the 2001 2002 ish Land Rover Discoverys? They are great looking and seem to be priced pretty well compared to a wrangler? The nissan xterra seems pretty good, ill look into that.

bean1031

a hard top on a wrangler is better in the winter than the soft top but the soft is nice in the sumer because it can be droped easy and if it starts to rain its back up in couple mins. perdonaly i like my cherokee alot more for a daily driver and its more than capable off road. i prefere the cheroke...

What's your budget? My first truck was/is an 01 Sport Trac 4x4 fully loaded that I paid 12k out the door with 60k miles. Gets between 18-20 mpg mixed and have only had to replace the ball joints and a brake drum. Only bad part is the bed being 4', but I can still get a tandem dog box in it, with a ...

Which do you guys think is a better state for quail? Eastern Ks or Western MO? Im planning a trip for this year and am trying to figure out where to go.

bean1031

If you are going before December I don't know about that as I have only hunted pheasants in Kansas in December and know what it takes to shoot your limit on Walk-in area only. And here in one sentence is the difference in the opinions of how to hunt Kansas, Busterb is judging the quality of the hun...

bean1031

Thanks guys! Topher if you vote against the jeep what car is your suggestion? I want something I can hunt and train my dog from, so nothing like a camry or corolla. Which model of the wrangler should I be looking at? TJ or YJ? Im not really a fan of the square headlights on the TJ but the YJ is more...

I have been shopping around a little and it seems you can get a CJ7 totally rebuilt for around $10,000 with under 20,000 miles on the engine. The wranglers seem like if you want one for under $10,000 its gunna have 100,000 miles. Would it be worth it to upgrade for the price? keep in mind were worki...

Im looking to get my first car in the next year or so and have a few questions. Right now Im leaning for a used Jeep, most likely a CJ7. DO you guys think I should go with a wrangler or CJ 5 Instead? also I had a question about paint jobs. I have a link to a pretty cool paint job http://www.austinje...

We took our maltese into the vet a few years back, and she was diagnosed with 3 different heart conditions, a ruptured valve, and fluid in her lungs. The vet gave her less than a year. Two years later she is still chuggen along. Lately she has stoped eating and everything she eats she throws up. She...

Next weekend we are going pheasant hunting in NW Ks up by a town named Nocatur. We delayed the planning a little bit for the trip and now we have no place to stay. Most of the Hotels have been booked for a year now. Does anyone know of a bed and breakfeast place within an hour of Nocatur that may ha...

First off welcome to the forum, there are lots of smart dog people and good information to be found here! I am not a pointer guy Im a retriever guy so take this for what its worth. I would keep the pup around birds as much as possible and devolope prey drive. Let the puppy be a puppy! You might try ...

The trainer had me do indirect pressure like you said exept on heel not sit and it didnt really help. Ill try the stake thing and see how it goes.

A couple of things, I didnt run 11 blinds straight I ran a couple at a time over a 5 hour morning period. Second of all I didnt burn her for the bad line but from the missed sit wistle. And third off I did talk to a pro and she said the reason for all of the problems flaring, spinning and no-goes wa...

Well cash is now 2 years 1 month and I am working with her on sight blinds. A few weeks ago cash started pulling the no-go card during training for no apperent reason (she is force fetched), so I went back to collar fetch, but when I would give her the back nick back sequence she just locked up (she...

bean1031

What about pattern blinds, sight blinds, walkout blinds? These are great for boosting confidence and trust in a dog.

Im looking to mabey join a hunting club (upland birds and mabey water foul and a place to train) within 2-3 hour of overland park. Does anyone know of a place that fits the bill?

bean1031

Was that the one in AZ hunting for mearns quail or the one in texas for bob white and blue quail with all the springers, eps, a lab and a setter or was it a different one?

bean1031

You could get some of those ear protection things that amplify quiet sounds but cancels of sounds over a set volume.

I was just browsing through the missouri hunting web site and saw that you can hunt ruffed grouse in missouri. I search the web but couldnt find any outfitters or places to hunt them. Can anyone give me more info?

Just curious if we have alot of Big Game hunters on the forum? If so did the draws treat you well? Any good hunts planned? I personally drew my elk tag here in UT, which is actually a pretty big deal if you know anything about elk hunting in UT!! :D Anyone else get lucky? Pics from last years hunts...

Grap a dead bird and everytime a fire work goes off throw it at him!

My dream is a nice mountain property filled with ruffed grouse and has a nice stream running through it (for fly fishing of course). It would have nice pine, spruce, and aspin trees on about 1000 acres and agood 200 or so of sage brush and natural grasses, where I would hunt sage grouse and stock wi...

bean1031

My dog groans!, she hardly ever barks or grawls but when ever you rub her belly or scratch her behind her ears she groans!

She also does this weird thing where when she wants a belly rub she plows into your shins and rolls on her neck then finally flops over into the belly up position.

bean1031

I got it and returned it, I could only shoot it like 25 ft and my dad only like 60 and I can throw it alot farther than that usually.

bean1031

Well, not that this is related to your problem (though it might be), you need to switch to Evan Graham or another training book. I started out with Richard Wolters too, and it ended badly, it took me months to untrain the stuff that book says. Richard Wolters was one of the first people to write a r...

I use drop it for a command only when the item is in the dogs mouth. I use leave it when she is about to pick something up that I dont want her to.

bean1031

Well we leave here on friday and should get there on saturday mid day, but we dont start the treck until sunday. I stocked up on woolly buggers, muddler minnows, and lots of other big juicey flies! I am thrilled!

Ya I heard the mosquitoes are so big they call in for landing clearance!

I bought some 100% deet the other day at cabellas so hopefully I should be fine. :roll:
