To rent slim to none. Borrow most likely. If I could get there you'd be more than welcome to ride one of mine. Just ask someone.

It's north west of Lincoln, just past Branch Oak Lake Park. Can't be there this month. Too many other things happening.

And as far as having someone else buy a gun for you, it's a little illegal. It's called a straw purchase. A major fine and jail time, Federal offence. Just be careful. Not if the individual purchases it for you as a "gift" and you are legally allowed to own a firearm. Apparently you have never been...

I've had two dogs and one horse and myself get snakebit. If my wife and daughter hadn't been home to tube the horse she'd be a goner. They cann't breath through their mouth. and they get it in the nose and it swells shut. As far as the dogs steroids and antibocits will due the trick. A snake can't e...

I guess Yildiz is only sold at Academy stores. Check Gunbroker.com there should be something. The gun show in Phoenix will have thousands of gun. As far as Remchokes they only cost 20.00 each.

Didn't know there was an Academy store in Mesa, AZ. There's too many places to order a gun in Arizona, Bear Mountain, Phoenix Shooter's supply. Pick up the yellow pages and let you fingers do the walking.

kensfishing

Go to Bear Mountain and have them order you one.

was seen last nite as we set down to eat dinner. Lightning hit a tree right close to the house, took out a buildings fuses, burned the wire plug in to the electric fencer I use and blew that off the wall and into little pieces. PetSafe is sending me a new unit for 30.00 so no big deal. Taught the b...

The new express's are junk. You can feel and hear the difference. They retail about 350.00 for the standard. As far as selling long guns some stores have a wierd policy. In AZ. you don't have to be a resident to buy a long gun, except for Calif. Ill. and about seven other states. I've sold guns for ...

None of the leather boots are treated. If you don't it will void the warranty. The leather soaks up water like a spong.

kensfishing

Can't remember the exact name, but it's in a black container. Most of your outdoor stores sell it. Ulmanoff's or something like that. It works great.

kensfishing

For hunting in AZ. you don't want a full choke. More mod or improved. There's plenty out there.

I've noticed at times with black powder blanks when shooting down at the ground my right leg takes a beating. Just think if the barrel or cylinder explodes. My ex brother in law put rifle powder in his black powder revoler, once. Only once. He threw the gun away. He still has a scare from it.

kensfishing

Try CCI blanks they are shorter and not as powerful. Crimps are not authorized for any AKC events. CCI 's are a crimp, but considered a blank, so are your nail blanks. Be careful with what you shoot in the gun. Ken, Not trying to argue...but define crimp. I suspect you're talking about "acorn" crim...

kensfishing

If they are leather they need to be treated with a conditioner. It will stop the leather from soaking with any moisture and protecting the life of the boot. Some boots need to be worn to break in and some don't. Never had to break in any Danner's, but some of the others broke me down with blisters.

+quote="Gordon Guy"]Danner Pronghorns. Light weight, great ankle support and meaty soles for climbing chukar hills.[/quote] + 1 on Danners. Never had to break a pair in, just put them on and go. The proghorns have a great foundation in the sole to keep you feet from getting sore from rocks or other ...

I'd be careful drilling any structure from the cylinders and shooting blanks the gun is not designed for. It sounds like the gun you bought was for crimps and not regular blanks. Try CCI blanks they are shorter and not as powerful. Crimps are not authorized for any AKC events. CCI 's are a crimp, bu...

knine, i do not know if restraining the dog into a point is the best way to go? that is the way I read the post. brandon The dog has to understand that roading into a bird is not acceptable. As soon as you know he has the scent stop him cold in his tracks and keep him there. Too many people let the...

I've never and mean never had a problem leaving the tri tronics bark collar on a dog for more than eight hours.

If they only gave out MH scores to the top 3 participants, then they would be about equal to winning a FT. If they gave out FC titles to every dog that made it through 6 FT events clean and did retrieves, we would have a lot more FC's than we do today. The title would mean far less then it does tod...

Here's the link for the GSP National Walking championship. No MH for qualification. http://www.gspca.org/NAGDC/index.html

Not using an e collar is like going hunting with a gun and not taking ammo. It's a tool, use and learn to use it right. Still trying to get Tony to use it quicker, he still hasn't got it. Maybe have to put it on him instead of Danner.

kensfishing

I've said it all along. It's positive, negative reinforcement. The more positive the better. It's a command not a request.

kensfishing

Forget the treats. Start training the dog to obey a command and praise it when it goes right.

kensfishing

Pups are doing great, hard to decide which one stays home or two. They got their second set of shots and wormed. They are ready to go. They're so spoiled it't unreal. They bark as much the older dogs when I fire up the 4 wheeler.

kensfishing

Took one of Mike's pups, Moe out for some bird work, he just turned a year old. Also a new addition to the kennel. It's Bolt, Aaron's new pup, just eight months old. Not bad for young dogs. http://i777.photobucket.com/albums/yy54/kensfishing/GEDC0004-2.jpg . http://i777.photobucket.com/albums/yy54/k...

kensfishing

A dog can move his feet in a 180 to mark a bird as long as there's no forward progress.

kensfishing

Not looking for a fight here, but you don't know me and I don't know you. There is a big difference between a multible course and a continuing course. As far a knowing a thing or two about judging NGSPA championships, I judged quite a few. How about you?

kensfishing

Vaga was making a joke. Something no one on here knows about.

kensfishing

Isnt the Hawkeye SD Championship single course? I've never been to it, but i dont think there is enough ground at Palo for multiple courses. Its multiple ,over and back, But its not all the same courses. Its around the pump house and around the lake and back on different pieces. It's called contini...

They will inspect your kennels if they desire but not say much.

I've got a female that came into heat at 18 months old. She just started going out. When vets can tell you exactly when it happens, well they can't. They'll come in when they come in.

Did you judge one? ha

Na, never seen one, watched one or judged one. Boy they're work to judge. You never please anyone except first place. What a crock.

myerstenn wrote:Any championship event will more than likely be multiple courses!!!!..Weekend dual sactioned will probably not be.

They all have multiple course to run any championship, but they don't run multiple events at the same time. That's why they run bitches in season the last braces of the day.

In looking at the pedigrees, I see names that I know, but they're a couple of generations back. Makes me nervous to see an operation that has litters from four different breeds. I just don't see how anyone can keep up with what's going on in four breeds. Now, about the reviews. I suggest that you c...

Here in Iowa, about 250 miles from me. I'll take the horses and dogs and get out of town for awhile.

kensfishing

Looks to me with that dog power( 28 paw drive) you don't even need to start the engine, just put it neutral and say "hunt em up". Ofcourse it might be a real sudden stop if they all scent a bird at the same time. When these dogs are almost in shape, they can pull that 650 at 10 to 12 miles per hour...

kensfishing

On Monday it was heat index of 117 here in Iowa where I live. I'll take Arizona over this all day everyday.

kensfishing

The temp was 66 degrees this morning. Finally got seven of the dogs hooked up to run. They were ready.

kensfishing

It's been so hot and humid here the fish haven't been where they should be. It's been tought. With this cooler weather is should pick up again.

kensfishing

All of my dogs retrieve, to hand. I to used to give the head of quail, but it the desert it's too dry and it takes too much water just to keep a dog going without giving him something that make them thirsty. Teaching retrieving is still a command and I don't give treats and the dogs love doing it. I...

kensfishing

Why would anyone give a treat to a dog when it's job is to obey. You can't take treats to the field everytime you kill a bird. Retieving is a command. You don't kill bumpers in the field so why keep trying to make a dog retrieve them.

kensfishing

If you're talking a Horse Back trial, there's alot dogs bred that can't run an hour. It's breeding, heart and conditioning.

The problem here in the mid states all of the roads are dirt and these people drive faster on them than the freeway. Wind blows and dust drifts to the fields. Either alfalfa or grass. Some of it is so bad you have to grind it just to feed to cattle. My big red horse from AZ. has problems from alergi...

Blue Lake right off 29. It can be great or tough, after all it's called fishing not catching. Just like hunting, it's call hunting not killing.

Arlette as you said once I don't care what you think. I answered a post and gave my ideas about them, that is all. Let it go.

All I said was a JH title means nothing to me. Didn't and never said anyone could never run a dog in a hunt test or any venue for that matter. I just wanted something that had more of a challenge with dogs. Field trials was that venue for me. You get your dog judged by peers against peers and the be...

kensfishing

I haven't seen many multiple courses in a NGSPA event. But they will run dogs in heat in the last brace of the day.

kensfishing

Why won't you be glad for any placements? I mean if ran a dog in a 50 dog trial, any placement would be nice for any one.

Do you mean to tell me your dog has never taken a red, white or yellow, or didn't place. That's bogus. :roll:
