I have seen you shoot and HIGHLY doubt you could hit a rooster let alone a hen!

hey now chris thats not nice true but not nice

bowhunter1221975

well for the sake of the forum i cant say i see any thing wrong with mistakeing a hen for a rooster with a young dog .

not saying i have ever

but (a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush)

bowhunter1221975

I have stiched up a lot of wounds on dogs and that one looks like a good sized one looks like it could have been ice cut good luck she sould heal up in no time just keep her from chewing on the stiches and keep them clean she will want to start chewing in about a week

bowhunter1221975

you know i am in

bowhunter1221975

i take my dogs fishing all the time but you have to start young just take them for rides in the boat intro new things to them slow teach the dog what noooo means you should be fine

bowhunter1221975

All of the modern tools are nice but not really necessary. But they do have a purpose and work quite well. In my mind the determining factor os can you afford them. And it is not a bad thing if the answer is no. It bothers me that we have so many people tell the newbees they have to have all of thi...

bowhunter1221975

I think that your pup at nine months is doing great just keep doing what you are doing and let the pup have fun keep the pup in birds and it will learn more then any words can teach have fun and good luck with your pup

bowhunter1221975

I have also used lariat rope with good results it is stiff and dont get tangeled just a bit pricey to buy new @ 50 to 60 for 25 ft

bowhunter1221975

i am no expert with bird dogs by no means but i have been around dogs my whole life in one way or another weather it be rabbit dogs coon dogs and even a hog dog or two now i have ep i have had dogs that would just as soon fight as hunt and some that pick one dog and one dog only to fight with the on...

bowhunter1221975

Neither one will be nuetered? Is that because your planning on breeding them down the line? Why would you breed a fighter? Guess that would be one more litter out of two dogs breeding with no regard to genetics, temperament, biddability, conformation, etc. Good luck...... :roll: i agree but IMO

bowhunter1221975

i used to feed diamond and found that the dogs ate it well but stols were soft and lots of it they would eat and crap in five min i switched to feed from my local feed store and much better and cheaper to boot

bowhunter1221975

i cant say in bird dog breeding programs but i would breed my hounds 4 to 5 times after that i would retire them IMO i think its to hard on them to welp more then that
Hope this helps

bowhunter1221975

bowhunter1221975

first of all are you flying to sc or are you just sending the dogs

if you are flying there is no way the air line can not take your dogs if you do the paper work
if you are just flying your dogs i dont know but some air lines do fly (PETS)

bowhunter1221975

we hunted Sd last year and found out blockers are key to geting in birds in grassland we done ok with pointers but in milo blockers were the only way we got into birds

bowhunter1221975

bowhunter1221975

my new pup

bowhunter1221975

i would have to say that is pretty much how i feel If its made of fiberglass, I'd be out. There's no way I'd spend the kinda coin you're going to spend on a dog trailer, to have it chewed up, or a hole knocked in it. Besides that, I would think that a fiberglass bodied trailer would be exceptionally...

bowhunter1221975

I am going to pick up a new pup tonight i can't beleve that i talked the wife in to a new pup but she said ok with out a second thought once again THANKS chris i will see ya tonight

bowhunter1221975

I hate to toot my own horn but I happen to have a great litter of 7 month old pup on the ground. I usually have extremely well bred pups around I have either bred or am training. Give me a call if your interested. Yep I will vouch for Chris (That might end me up in a NE Kansas county Jail... :mrgre...

bowhunter1221975

if you have a GPS you can go online and download all wma areas in SD its nice they are color coded and works well to find them small walkins that are not hunted hard

bowhunter1221975

chambrlin Sd was good to us last year lots of walkin areas with lots of birds

bowhunter1221975

you may use any shot you like in most os there areas that are not marked as water fowl areas

bowhunter1221975

i have never had my dog point a moose but on the kansas youth hunt he pointed and chased a nice white tail buck and last year we were in south dakota and he pointed a porcupine that one didnt end up well for him with a face full of quils

bowhunter1221975

i dont know about kansas gps i am trying to get it also i have southdakota and it is great if u figure it out pm me how

bowhunter1221975

i agree if the pup bumps the bird but if the pup has not and is just hunting or running around the shot might and i said might scare the pup once again this is JMO. i am not a trainer but it just makes sence a six month old pup and the hunter bumpin the birds not the dog could as i said could cause ...

bowhunter1221975

ok first we all want to bag birds when we are afield. i understand birds are few and far between some places. the problem that i see with shoting bumped or not pointed flushed birds is that it will surprise your pup and could i state could scare him/her you dont want to even take the chance of makei...

bowhunter1221975

well took my boy out this morning for the youth opener hunted 2 hours covered 5 miles of bottom ground no birds came home went out to were we have been training
work 100 yards he killed one bird had 4 points not bad for youngster even if we couldnt find any phez lol

bowhunter1221975

one other thing yoou can do is get a clock that ticks put it in the creat under something so he/she cant chew it up the ticking sound seems to calm them down but as stated before just dont interact with the pup when its crying
