Glad to help, JoDakota.

I have been married for many years. Good on "scripting"...eh, on the planted birds and...there are many shows on-air. Some more vocal than others...some have shooters doing superb jobs of backing a birddog. Never asked you to justify anything.....how you feel is for you to consider. I can handle la...

[quote="UglyD" As for Maltodextrin, if it is given within 20 minutes or so of the "end of the day", it does a great job of replenishing the glycogen stores in the muscles for the next day's energy. . End of whose day ... the dog's (hunting) day (activity), right? If you rotate dogs, the last hunt o...

Then there are those of us who want Ugly Dogs.

Scott Linden

Thanks Agross, and those who PM'd.

Scott Linden

If one depends upon pen-raised birds for their living or in filming a tv show then I reckon that one must strive to justify what is needed or ignores the bad actors in scripted shooting situations. My wonder is...is this thread all about ginning up comments on a blog or is a new book forthcoming? M...

Scott Linden

Well, my camera guys outdid themselves and got epic footage of ruffs and woodcocks in Northern Minnesota ... just as they do on all the wild quail, pheasants, huns and chukars ... sage grouse, sharpies and chickens we've done in past episodes. Yep, pretty tough - they did better than the host did on...

Feel free to chime in:

The root cause of our similar problem years ago was a wad of swallowed grass - it would wander around in the belly, blocking the food's entrance to the stomach periodically. Wouldn't show on an x-ray, but one day up it came and the problem went away. Good luck.

Scott Linden

Great news - lab work indicates no infection of any kind. No nocardia, whatever caused the pneumonia was already beaten back by antibiotics by the time the cultures came back. Now, to get him back into shape in time for chukar season. Thanks for all your advice and good wishes. Dr. McInteer is retir...

A few other things in the dog first aid kit portion, then a lot of stuff for YOU: http://scottlindenoutdoors.com/ultimate ... -download/

Scott Linden

Thanks everyone. Waiting for a return call from McInteer. Please cross fingers.

Scott Linden

A little help, please. Manny has apparently inhaled a cheatgrass seed and developed pneumonia in one lobe of his right lung. Got him on antibiotics ASAP, but am wondering if anyone has read or heard about other therapies I should discuss with the vet, or had experience with this kind of problem. I'v...

Scott Linden

Great information everyone. Thanks.

Scott Linden

Duct tape alone works pretty well. Be careful not to wrap too tightly. When they fall off, you're out a few cents. In lava country, even Lewis boots wear out, Cordura even faster, while a roll of duct tape goes a long way.

Scott Linden

I like Mott and there's PLOTS land nearby that holds pheasants and sharpies. Got an email from Tailfeather Inn today - looks like they would be worth a call. They are basically a hunter's dormitory in town, no frills but a good location. Good luck.

Scott Linden

What cj said. What is your time and effort worth? Go where the birds are ... for your nephew and your young dog, especially.

Scott Linden

Contradiction, not really. Couldn't the long-term needs of a dog's body be met by protein and carbohydrates the day/week/month before, while a quick, short-term energy boost be created by fat? I think that's how human athletes do it.

Scott Linden

I'm surprised there haven't been more mentions of bloat/stomach twist. Sure, the research is not definitive but why take a chance? As noted earlier, the "nutrition" comes from food eaten many hours before the hunt, so a morning feed only fills up the G.I. tract. Purina research has shown the negativ...

Scott Linden

Maybe you've had the same situation occur - your old dog takes longer and longer to um, you know, poop. The poor guy looks embarassed at holding us up on our walks! Pumpkin seems to be the most often recommended cure, but would a fiber supplement like Metamucil do "the job?" Other veterinary sites s...

Not sure if they're on Roku, but I do know that Pursuit Channel IS. Good luck.

Scott Linden

drich +1 but you might start your search near Lewistown MT for Huns and sage grouse, or Big Timber for sharpies.

Scott Linden

I was thinking I saw an episode of WUSA involving the ruffed grouse and/or woodcock. But, I would guess that God's gift of the ruffed grouse never, ever being a Preserve bird would limit the potential for such episodes. God was thinking on that one. +1 You cant plant em. :D Actually, we were also i...

I use to watch the show, I had it on my DVR. Now its gone and the channel has only fishing shows seems they got rid of all the hunting shows. Is there a list someplace that shows what channels its on. I can by outdoor channels from ROKU but there are a lot and I don't see this show. This is the onl...

Scott Linden

Anyway, we have been invited to hunt ruffies and woodcocks in at least three states and a couple provinces. This season we finally made room on the schedule to venture to Minnesota and the RGS National Hunt (thanks Terry Wilson and Ugly Dog Hunting Co.). Here's the deal, though: to make a show that ...

I've hunted the Dakotas and E. Montana a dozen times with all types of dogs and my only contribution to this discussion would be to keep your pointers out of row crops like corn and milo. Roosters will race down those rows, and your pointer will do his darndest to catch them. Tighter cover, ditches,...

That ranch looks like the kinda place a guy could hurt his shoulder shooting so much.

Dirty job, but someone's gotta do it.

Hands down, the largest valley quail population I've ever seen: http://www.flyingdoublef.com/newhunting.html

Several have mentioned "fit," and I agree, but it might need clarification. Watch most kids and women shoot for the first time, and you'll see them set their feet like a rifle shooter - one foot way in front of the other. This prevents the butt of the gun from finding it's natural home in the should...

I have not seen where any of those things has GDF listed as the place to find info on gun dogs. But if you feel you are promoting us then I am sure you are. I am waiting to have a newcomer tell us he heard about us on Scott Lindens show or in his book or on his web site. We will be waiting. I do lik...

Scott Linden

Scott, I posted that as a friend and had no idea you would question it. But since you did, you have in the past talked about your show and when and where to find it, you have asked for comments on it, you have asked for definitions of terms so you could use them, and you have asked what people want...

Not quite sure why you define providing food for thought as "advertising." Please define.

Scott, Not all of us have tv shows. What do you pay or do you only hunt for tv? And I'm grateful not everyone tries to make a TV show. It is very expensive and there are only so many sponsors out there. So don't quit your day job. I couldn't afford to hunt many of the places we make shows. Luckily,...

Scott Linden

Yep. If their dogs were better, you'd be hunting behind them. Some "friends."

Scott Linden

Just had a fascinating conversation with a frustrated hunter, lamenting the poor quality of public hunting land. After traveling over 500 miles, spending $1,000 for a hotel, feeding eight dogs, spouse and himself for a couple weeks he was still unhappy with the bird numbers and crappy habitat mis-ma...

Scott Linden

Over the years, I've had lots of conversations with veterinarians about first aid for a rattlesnake bite. Among the other solutions, an antihistamine like Benadryl is often recommended. I carry the capsules and if needed would empty the powder under my dog's tongue to hasten the absorption process. ...

So, the question keeps coming up when I bring guests along to a hunting lodge. I've "winged it" for years. If you are a pro guide - full or part-time - what is an appropriate tip for a day in the field?

Scott Linden

While you see me hunt a lot of preserve birds on TV (for the record, about half of my shows), I hunt a lot of wild birds for work and fun (about 40-60 days per year). To me, both have something to offer us and our dogs. But many have strong feelings about wild versus pen-raised birds. So, here's you...

Scott Linden

I have no clue, but thank you for your service and good luck in the hills and in the sandbox.

Scott Linden

Hunting, trialing, even club get-togethers ... sure, you've got a list of stuff to take. But what about the things you DO? Whether it's dog wrangling advice, care and feeding (dog and human), where and why to stop certain places, what are some of the little things that make life on the road a little...

Scott Linden

There is a lot of private ground, but also some Block Management land open to hunters. Go to the chamber of commerce website - if I recall, they have a lot of hunting information. Worth the work.

Folks, he swims great, retrieves with aplomb in the water - those aren't a problem. Just want him to cool off after a run the easy way - he'll stand in the pool, let me splash his belly and even stand still for a hosing down.

Summer time and the livin' is easy. But my young guy simply will not lay down in his pool. We live on the desert, so this is an issue. He'll wade, make a move toward sitting, then chicken out. I want him to belly flop into the cool, refreshing water after a hard training session. His "down" command ...

Many folks also use newspaper as bedding in their crates - a fantastic idea considering your problem ... just in case.

Anyone here feed garlic tablets to their dog to make them "unpalatable" to bugs?
