I try to run in the trials in Salina, Ks. They are only singles so it might not be as full. It is kinda nice for someone like me who is new to the game. The trials in Prescott and Topeka are doubles and draw a pretty big crowd.

I pieced my trailer together as well. I bought a alumma brand ATV trailer from a local dealer for about $1200. The deck measures 7 ft wide by 8 ft long. I had another local guy that builds diamond plate dog boxes build me two boxes that were 4ft by 4ft each. Each box has 4 seperate holes. I mounted ...

If you guys are talking Elhew, how about Hanna's Elhew Lou. Even though she was not a trial dog, she produced some of the nicest Elhew dogs around. I know that from her breeding with Snakefoot, 1 or 2 pups became shooting dog champions, 1 was a walking dog champion, and the other was a 3X NSTRA Ch. ...

"bleep"'s Sporting Goods has a safe made by Stack-On that is real nice. It is fire lined and you can either put long guns on both the left and right sides of the divider, or you can put shelves for pistols on the right side. It is a lot less expensive than other safes that are not as nice. It think ...

Hey Jess, Valley Vet is good, but they are in Marysville,Ks which means you and I pay sales tax on top of shipping. I buy all my meds from lion country supply. I think the 5-way puppy shot is $3.99. I have been using them for several years and have not had any problems.

Southwind

I have a litter of 9 that is five weeks old. I have moved the mother out so the pups are on their own. I have also moved the whelping pen out of the garage and into the kennel barn. The barn is open to the south only so it totally blocks the winter wind. Inside the box I have an allied heated mat an...

Jim and Matt Harris of Harris Kennels is planning a breeding for this spring between a direct son of Guard Rail and a double grand-daughter of Guard Rail. I don't think you can get much heavier than that within 3 generations.

Southwind

If there is a chance of mixed bag hunting, I use 20 ga. 7.5 Federal either Hi- Brass or Heavy Field Load out of an Improved Cylinder. If your dogs are good, you should not have a problem.

Southwind

It may not work real well where there is already a good source of food. If it goes on the ground, you have to worry about varmints getting in after the birds. Ideally, it goes on a rooftop where there is good supply of birds and not many other sources of food. Any kind of bird food will work. Until ...

Tractor Supply sells an AKC line of runs. The runs are 5x10 by 6 ft tall. They also sell the individual panels so you can hook all the runs together and not have to buy near as many. On top of that, they gave me 10% off for buying that many panels. The panels are made of 2x4 in welded wire that has ...

I have pretty good luck with the Hunter's Edge. The puppy blend is also nice. I don't like it quite as much as the Black Gold, but for the price, you cannot beat it.

Southwind

About 1 yr ago I switched from Black Gold to Hunter's Edge 24-18. I have been happy with it so far. It is not as nice as the Black Gold, but it is a lot cheaper. All the dogs seem to do very well on it. During the winter months, esp. when I am running the dogs hard, I have to feed a bit more than wh...

Southwind

David pretty much summed it up. They can run as big as you want or stay in as close as you want, and they are very natural on their game. Good choice

Southwind

Did anyone else see the ad on the TT website about trading in your old complete Tri Tronics collar for a new one at 40 % off msrp. I have an old field 70 that broke a week after the warranty expired that has been sitting in my shop. Since I still have the case, chargers, collar and transmitter, I am...

North and west of Salina I heard was pretty good. Farmers are still getting milo in.

Southwind

Rifle season should be done by the 12-14th of Dec. I have heard good things about quail numbers in the north east. Pheasant numbers are still down up there.

Southwind

Robbi, sorry for your loss. I am just glad I had the opportunity to own a daughter of Holly and Hud. Holly's last breeding I think. If my Missy was anything like her momma, I am sure she was a pleasure to own also.

A friend of mine has a gravity fed water tank in his top storage. It is really nice. You just open the top storage to fill it, and it has a spout on both the driver and passenger side of the trailer underneath.

Southwind

I bought a Aluma brand ATV trailer that is 7 ft wide and 8 ft long. I had my welder build me an 8 hole box that is 8 ft long by 4 ft wide. I centered it on the trailer which gives be 1.5 ft on each side of the dog box that I use as a step or lip for the dogs to load and unload. I also use it to tran...

I am sure my attitude will change when its more than my wife and I in the house. Until then, I will keep my 00.

I am in Law Enforcement and the new Federal LE 00 Buck is the nicest round on the market. It holds together so well that we had to move our qualification course from the 7 yd. line to the 10 yd line. At the 7 very few of the pellets were even leaving the wad. With other brands such as Remington, you...

The Yard Store in Wichita sells the 55 gal. drums for $12. and a local car wash sells the 30 gal. drums for $5. The Yard always tries to keep several in stock.

If you subscribe your kennel on the netkennel.com you have that sort of data base. I know I can have at least a 4 gen and maybe a 5. As well as having it online, you can also print it out. Visit my site in my signature and go to pedigrees. It is really nice when you line breed like I do. Every dog j...

If you choose to fly with your firearm, make sure you declare it at the ticket counter, and that it is in an lockable airline approved case. Secondly, make sure you do not go through passenger screening with any loose ammo on yourself or in your carry-on luggage. I am a Police Officer at a mid-west ...

I have had really good luck with Break Free. It is all purpose like Remington's Rem-Oil.

Southwind

What model do you have. If you have the model 16000, sorry for your luck. I have had one 16000 crap out, and a new one that might go any day. The thing about innotek is that the collars are really nice and compatible with almost all innotek transmitters. If you can find an older 1600 transmitter, yo...

My avatar dog flags his tail until I come up to him to flush the bird. By the time I am ready to flush, he is as straight up as he appears in the picture. Since he is young, I am hoping a season of wild birds with bring him out of that. I think I hammered him too hard with pen raised birds his first...

I know what you mean Matt. I saw where Hunt'em Up has that Hanna female now. I laugh every time I see those puppies on his site for $1,500 a piece.

Southwind

Hey Matt, how are those shorthairs doing? I haven't seen any pics of them yet.

Southwind

I was raised on a 20 ga. and have 6 of them ranging from a Beretta Silver Pigeon to a Charles Daly semi-auto synthetic. My two favorites are the Franchi Veloce O/U and the Beretta 391 Urika semi-auto. If I hunted waterfowl or turkey more than I do, I would own a 12 ga also. But for the amount I do, ...

Southwind

If you can still find one, I have had good luck with the Innotek rechargable model. They are small and light weight, but can handle a yappy Shorthair with ease. They also come with a longer set of probes for Britts and Setters.

Southwind

I believe McDougal is owned by SingleShot Kennels. SinlgeShot is on the forum on a regular basis if you want to send him a PM.

Southwind

I would agree with taking all of them. Usually, I only have 2-3 dogs that are completely broke at one time. If I am going on a weekend or three day trip, I load up the trailer with all the young dogs too. I also take a few quail with me to work the young dogs on after we get done hunting. It is also...

Very impressive. Thanks for the idea for my gate pannel. The 4ft X 3ft plywood pannel I am using is starting to lean due to the stress on the hinges from the the door weight.

Southwind

Here is a pic of the whelping pen I built 2 months ago for my litter of shorthairs. I used treated wood wherever possible, and will paint or stain the plywood as soon as I can. I lined the floor of the whelping box with left over vinyl from my kitchen. This allows for easy clean-up after the puppies...

I was in my local Wal-Mart yesterday, and saw they had some Federal shells on sale. The had the 20 ga. Heavy Field Load in #6 shot for $4.50 a box compared to the normal $5.97/Box. These are the shells I normally shoot, and they are cheaper now than they were 2-3 years ago. They also had some of the...

I am also a lefty. Besides my O/U's, I like the Beretta semi-autos because a gunsmith can switch around the safety to operate for a left hander. My 391 Urika fit perfectly out of the box, and is a sweet shooter.

Southwind

The 20 ga is plenty of medicine for early and late season ringnecks, but I would save the money and buy the Montefeltro.
