Thanks for the input guys. I got home early yesterday and had some scrap wood around so I built nesting box addition to the side of the loft. I put some hay in there and placed the egg in it. The male was in there with it yesterday afternoon. Didn't look this morning. Lucky Dog, I'm sure he's paired...

I've had them since Sept/Oct in that loft. Young birds at that time that had never flown.

I guess it could be 2 hens, I'm definitely no pro on pigeon sexing.
I came to the conclusion "it" was a male based on 3 things. It's much bigger than the other 2, it's aggressive, and it's constantly strutting around and cooing in the loft.

Hello, I've got 3 homers in a loft built from LCS plans http://www.lcsupply.com/Pigeon-Loft-Plans/productinfo/PLP/ 2 of them have paired up and the female has laid several eggs over the last few months (maybe 4?). She lays them in the middle of the loft, on the wire mesh and initially didn't seem to...

Here are 2 good resources for state laws and CCW reciprocity ... the interactive map is nice. Get your home state + non-res Utah and you can carry in most states...at least the ones that are gun friendly.

I've hunted with these guys a few times and have really enjoyed it. Justin is a great guy and works hard to make sure you get the most of your hunt. I haven't been able to make it out the last 2 yrs but I'm planning on getting out there this season. In my opinion t he rates are very reasonable, espe...

Here is a link to a 5-1. I could not find the exact one I have but this is very simular and they may not make the one I have anymore. This treats for most worms also. I think if you used this as your one and only med. your birds would stay pretty healthy. I am really into the health side of pigeons...

The KS DNR actually posts the GPS coordinates to all their WIHA areas. You can know nothing about the place and easily find all the WIHAs by plugging them into your GPS. The only catch is the GPS settings must be the same as the KS DNR settings. I called and one of the gamewardens walked me through ...

Look for low ground, water, palm fronds...ideally in the setting of adjacent food plots/crops (soft ground = worms). Always seemed to work for me. I found these pictures I took of one of my first woodcock hunts (home in SC), 5 yrs ago or so. They sure do hold tight, she was literally on top of this ...

I have used one in the past to run my Pointer, had a nice trail ("Greenway") back in Charleston SC. He caught on very quick and never once pulled me over....even when tweety birds/ducks caught his attention. He'd pull and spring right back towards me, but not in to the bike. He really seemed to like...

Just out of curiosity, are there still huntable populations of bobs down in the Lowcountry? From what I've read, back in the old days there used to be so many birds they were a nuisance. I've heard that there are still some around on the big plantations, which I hope is true. It would be a shame if...

If your dog is out at .9 miles and goes into heavy cover it will probably loose signal and show the dog at the last known location. . I learned that the hard way after tracking down my Pointer one day...Garmin lead me to his last known location...here I am looking up in trees and down in holes...al...

I've hunted with these guys a few times, great experiences. They have very reasonable fees and it's very cheap to rent a hotel room in Larned.

UPDATE: Just took Gent to the Vet to get his sutures removed and checked on. Vet said he was healing well. They drained a small amount of serum from one of the incisions, but he said it wasn't a big deal just to keep an eye on it. He removed about 1/2 the sutures and told me to take the other 1/2 ou...

He is a special dog. Keep me updated. Also Just got Jazzy back at 6 tonight from BDK she looks great and hit the couch like she always does. Then her and the jack russell played tag in the yard.

Gent is now home with me recovering. I picked him up from Echo this afternoon. He seems to be in good spirits and was excited to be home!

Just spoke with Matt and things are looking good for Gent! Note from Matt: Gent is coming home Thursday, and I'm going to pick him up Friday. 4 weeks of rest, but the Vet says he should make a 100% recovery gotta run, but thought I would share the good news! Matt - I hope you don't mind that I shar...

Stealing this from walk with pup thread. How many of you get to take your dogs to work? I for one own my own business therefore the boss lets me bring dogs to the office. It is great for us and great for the dogs. Jazzy spent many days under my desk and I have brought many of our pointers in to hel...

oh, and PS...it is too bad about Ross getting kicked off. He may be a little hot headed at times BUT he knows what the heck he's talking about and is always willing to help! He's helped me a lot, for sure.

Everything's been going well, a...

Great weekend! Caladen's Struttin' Gentleman and I took first in the derby. This was my 2nd horseback trial as a handler and Gent saved me again, he had a great run.

You weren't too far from one of the great waterfowl areas in the US, Cheyenne Bottoms. It wa sclosed when you were here, but usually reopens the last week or two of Dec. Many years it will be froze over in Dec, but if not it can be great. How did you like the wide open spaces? Kinda nice to let a d...

No bunnies shot over points, or for dogs running them. Mine got #5 on the TT collar for running a rabbit. We shot them just randomly when they ran out in front of us. I don't want my bird dogs after rabbits

Mine sleep inside at night, stay outside in the kennel/backyard in the day.

Ok, so I've been MIA over Christmas break coming and going here there and everywhere. I just got the pictures uploaded and decided to give an update on how our trip went.... The 20 hr drive (which I made all by myself while my best buddy was dozing off every 5 min) was pretty brutal. The weather too...

UPDATE The hunting party has gone from 4, down to 2. Which is perfectly fine w/ me except now we have 10 hrs driving shifts a piece instead of 5....but oh well. I like hunting w/ a small number of people. We will be heading out to Larned, KS Saturday afternoon and arriving sometime Sunday afternoon....

Crackered or Neil. In your experience, when is the water to cold for your Boykins? I don't think the water gets to cold for Shorthairs here. I've never not taken mine because of the temperature outside. We hunted in the snow last year (very light flurry of course). In my experience as long as you c...

Mine stay outside in a kennel while I'm at school. They sleep inside at night in crates. The only time I leave them outside over night is if I know I'm not coming home until the morning......

My .02 cents... 1)The pup will be fine in a crate if you can stop by as often as you're saying. 2)I feed my pup the same type food the older dogs get and he's doing fine. 3)Make sure you put a bark collar on your wife before you leave her in the outside kennel overnight as you do not want her to dis...
