You need to read the ATF laws. It's a felony for you and Cabelas. Canadians used to walk in our store and brag about being from Canada. We'd just tell them no and leave. If fact if they got mouthy, we'd just turn them in.

kensfishing

Ruth one thing I should mention that the article did not was that the Canadian sniper team ran out of Canadian ammo so the ammo they were using was American made, U.S. Army issue loads that were a bit hotter than what the Canadian military uses. :lol: well if they ran out of ammo at least we know t...

Those ribbons are not all of Mike's. There's more. That's not counting the ones from other peoples dogs I've handled in the years past, or Sam's, John's or Tony's dog Danner. And of course Arlette knows of another of the dogs I've run on the ground for fun. Tracker and all of his wins, and his pups ...

Sorry my finger are sore from this weather. It's our games.

knine, if you think I got thrown under the bus, You're so wrong. Come play out games. You can't win. Have a great evening.

Anything to do with dogs is great. We need more of it. But the first post was asking about JH titles and it's worthless. If that is the only game in town I might do it, but it's not. I was the one who got bashed after I said it mean anything. But I stick to my guns and a Junior Hunt title means litt...

kensfishing

I didn't say navhda was a joke, did I. They're tests not trials. And most people who set the standards don't have any idea what they're doing. Read it again.

kensfishing

Ezzy, sorry for that one post. I read and you're right, it didn't come out right. So we're all not perfect in grammar. But I have watched a number of them and some of the MH dogs that passed was a JOKE. Flat out joke. But to each his own. What a lot of people don't realize is that hunt tests are tes...

kensfishing

I never bashed the SH or MH. You need to reread it. The last several puppy trials were run after the broke dog stakes in Branched Oak. Don't know where you've been. I love how the Brittany clubs close their trials to other breeds so they can quailify for their Nationals. I've been quailfied for the ...

kensfishing

So what is too much competition? You get up in the morning and compete with you workers. You compete in trying to survive in a world that is a dog eat dog world. So what's wrong with being competitive? Nothing. Like I said, I looked into the JH years ago and it didn't float my boat. And you still di...

kensfishing

Didn't say they couldn't grow at their own pace.

kensfishing

I try to help some of the new people running their dogs. You can't believe the one's that won't. Guess I'll just let them do what they want and not say anything to them and run the newbies off. Maybe you too.

kensfishing

The OP asked about JH not SH or MH, but JH. Which to me is worthless. Plain and simple. To the others how many puppy stakes have you watched. Not all of them don't have birds. Most are run on fields that have birds from other stakes, gundog and such. So you need to be informed. If a puppy stake is t...

kensfishing

Easy, he was just saying in his case he thought it was too easy and likes the challenge more of other trialing aspects such as all age comp. I did not know that about the birds, but it can't hurt to run it, then step up. Nothing like stfarting out at the bottom :) I guess I read it differant! To ea...

kensfishing

Hey Vargas, can come and Mike as a pup? Guess you need to get me a pointer.

kensfishing

I looked into AKC hunt tests before I started trialing, it didn't float my boat. Guess I was too competitive in other sports, hunting and fishing for a living. I didn't want just to pass a guideline, I wanted much more. Maybe I got more than I bargained for, but anyway here I am. Anyway have fun wit...

kensfishing

I kinda goofed with this. I'll try again on Sat. Trying to get Tony to stand these pups up and get them downloaded. Oh well.

I wouldn't waste your time on a JH title. It's not worth the time, effort or money to me. Just my thoughts.

kensfishing

Dogs are creatures of habit. That's how they learn . Trialing dogs are taught to take off on the whistle. You can use any cue to train a dog to come to you; the whistle is just convenient and easily heard. None of my trial dogs use a whistle to take off. Unless it's Mike, and I want him to run AA. ...

Those were good old fun days. Maybe soon we'll do it again. I do miss all of your family at Thanksgiving Dinner.

kensfishing

Beaver is big rolling hills of sandsage and plum thickets with some river bottom. Consider telemetry or a gps if your dog has any kinds of wheels at all. You can lose a dog at 50 yards in some places due to the terrain. Last time I hunted there I saw my female Dixie about a dozen times in four hour...

kensfishing

It's also so if the dog's on point he knows your're coming. My voice used to go away after a long weekend of handling dogs.

kensfishing

Let a coon get in one of my GSP's kennel, and you'll see a dead coon. These dogs don't like them, or like to kill them.

kensfishing

Throw the whistle away. There's too many people out there that don't know how to use one the right way. Too many varibles with other people in the field. The only time I use a whistle is to tell a scout I've got the dog or when I want a dog off the break to go All Age, or to make a dog finish strong...

kensfishing

I owned a son of Tell. By far one of the most smartest dogs I've ever watched or hunted over.

kensfishing

My closest neigbor is a half mile on one side and two on the other. If they hear all the dogs fire off. they know something is wrong. They either call my wife at work or me.

kensfishing

None of my dogs like fireworks. It's unreal. They don't target shooting either. But take the shotgun out and it's showtime.

kensfishing

The guy is out on bail. 500.00. That's unreal.

kensfishing

The guy has several kids at home and the dog was a baby sitter besides a hunting dog. He manybe getting one of Mike's baby boys to take his place.

kensfishing

It's a friend of ours that comes into Scheels. Tony called me after he heard about it.

kensfishing

^True. Im just saying that just cuz some guys hunt where there a lot of birds, doesnt mean their dogs arent great dogs. Anyways, I misunderstood your post I guess. And, btw, Im certainly not saying I have/had the best dog. Just that I have witnessed some pretty dam good dogs that happen to hunt in ...

I bet it was probably better when there were actual wild birds to hunt LOL. We need Ken's opinion on this....

Them clips were used in semi auto rifles. Made a ding sound when empty and it fleww out. Love that rifle. not the carbine.

I've sold and bought guns for years and I've heard all the so called different names of all the so called Assualt guns and the people who thought they knew alot about them. I own them and love what they can do in the right hands. My son and I do alot of long range with just about anything we can thi...

kensfishing

During WWII the shotgun was condisered an Assult gun. The Germans were so afraid of them, they tried to get the Geneva Convention to outlaw them. They would execute anyone with a shotgun. As far as the PS90 it's a fun hard hitting little round. I still have some of the orginal armour piercing rounds.

kensfishing

I only saw AK's in Afghanistan and Iraq most were the cheap copies you would find the occasional original in Afghanistan, but they were the one's the Russians left back in the 80's and were in very poor shape even for how tough they were built, the Taliban wasn't big on cleaning guns to busy trying...

kensfishing

I'm talking about the orginal AK. Not the fakes. Of course it's against the law to own one.

kensfishing

when we have pups, its always a fun night activity to have a few buddies over take the momma away sit on the balcony and the coyotes come running when they hear the pups whining so we sit up there and blast em with scatterguns or the occassional assault rifle might slip out of the gun safe :wink: w...

Still kinda hard to carry a whoa board or barrel in the field. None of my dogs are trained on a barrel or board.

The old cookbooks say hang pheasants for four to five days by the neck. With insides drawn out. The meat pulls the oils from the feathers. It's like hanging beef. It ages.

They're letting out 160,000 feet per second right now http://ireport.cnn.com/docs/DOC-626194?hpt=hp_bn1 for some pics. I dont think I will be putting a boat in there anytime soon.

Look at Gundogs online, this forum, gunddog breeders, Gundog Cental, ect. Those sites are full of breeders who do it for a living, But is that their only means of income? I bet not.
