I live in Central Illinois, about 30 miles south of Bloomington, I hunted these birds on a state park so you have to check them in befor you leave. DG, I absolutely love all the pics you post, I would love to get Jack out west to see how he rolls. Yep made it to moraineview this weekend on the stanb...

That last storm that hit us. We ended up with 2 inches of ice and the 6 inches of snow in a 24 hr period, the hunting was brutal on the dogs pads and belly. I only hunted him for 30 min. one day and an hour this past weekend, now its 45 and raining, what a mess.

Some more pics of Jack and I. Today was a good challenge for us, cold, windy, and an icy crust on the snow, the birds are a little more crafty in this type of weather.

You can find all of the requirements for the pointing breeds on the AKC site. A brief description is that there are 3 levels. JH= Junior Hunter, SH = Senior Hunter, MH = Master Hunter. For Junior the dogs must show they want to hunt and then they have a bird field in which they need to establish but...

What clubs run hunt tests at moraine view? I live 20 minutes from there, I have ran at Des Plaines, was not aware of them at Moraine view.

Wow that pup looks exactly like a pup my buddy just sold. pretty puppy congrats.

As stated before the Remington 870. I like the synthetic because at some point it will double as a boat oar. Ha. There is a reason it has been around so long. Never shot the benelli, I would reccomend a Beretta, very nice affordable, pretty smooth gun as well.

I agree with Ezzy, Gmc's at one time were the heavy duty series for general motors, ie, Farm trucks, service trucks, delivery etc... As far as I see it nowadays it is just a marketing tool for them. I have no idea how one is built versus the other exactly.

Lvrgsp

lvrgsp

Well this is just to keep him steady on birds, as Pear alluded to, especially when using pen raised birds sometimes they do not fly so well, and I do not want him catching birds. I live in Illinois but Jack was in Texas as a puppy last winter and will be going again this January with Dennis Brath, h...

Have a safe and Happy Thanksgiving day all.

Here are some training pics with Jack, they were not the best scenting conditions and the birds were moving a little. You can see the quail in the first pic about 3 feet infront of Jack walking around. He initially hit it at about 10 yds off, and the bird when trying to flush walked in front of him ...

lvrgsp

Thanks, He has some interesting markings. I had a permit hunt on state ground and they permit either sex can be taken. The hen he found right at the edge of the grass about 50 yds. from the truck. The cock was in some sorghum about 10 minutes later, he covers ground pretty quickly, and stands his bi...

Thanks Ohio,

I love the dog in your avatar, looks like he is wearing a tux. Where did you get him?

LVRGSP

Yep same here .1 cc per 10#'s

Well now that looks a little better, Thanks for the help, that was somewhat painless.

Congrats,
Sounds like one helluva year. keep er rollin'.

lvrgsp

lvrgsp

Yea Brittt you are right, the clorsulon sp? is made for fluke worms in cattle. I believe that is what can be fatal to dogs. I have used just reg ivomec and have had no problems at all. It should do for our needs.

LVRGSP

lvrgsp

I have heard to only use the standard Ivomec, and not the plus, but I do noy remember why, seems to me it was the same reason Ted gave, may be toxic to dogs.

LVRGSP

Thanks Justin,

I got some links posted now will work on posting the actual pics later.

Let me add something here, Pedigrees are only as good as the dog you are breeding to. Yes you may get some kind of idea as the pup you should get but still dogs within litters differ greatly, health wise as conformation wise. I will agree with a good friend ( AND VERY DOG WISE ) of mine that pedigre...

lvrgsp

No, That was on a hunt here in Illinois today. We have had a good year so far. Jack has found 5 wild coveys of quail and I can't tell you how many pheasants he has seen already this year. Alot of the pheasants were just out running him this fall before season opened up. The Kansas trip is going to b...

This is my first hunting season with my 15 mos. pup Jack. He did very well and had fun doing it. We had our limit in 20 minutes, I wish it could have lasted a little longer but oh well. He actually had 2 more finds walking back to the truck but we let them go to see another day. LVRGSP HAVING TROUBL...

I paid 1200.00 for mine and it is a 3/36,000 for 1200.00 and a 200 deductible. It is out of florida I'll look tomorrow on the name for ya.

Robert, As far as a litter being linebred off of Morticia, I am not sure of any off hand, however The Buddy x morticia cross is as close to that as you can get and it was extremely succesful. Dan hoke has quite a bit of the buddy x morticia in his kennel. Jerry Paddock has a bitch out of that breedi...

lvrgsp

Also when looking at a sire, I will say I do look at pedigrees pretty hard. I say this because I don't look so much at who is in there but how the sire was bred, was he a product of linebreeding, and outcross? If he was linebred was it HB/HS, Niece/Uncle, was the same type breeding done more than on...

Are there any traits to stay away from? Yes Aggressive dogs, conformational problems, ie. bites, hips, elbows.

What I look for in a stud dog is if at all possible how much raw natural ability did he have as a puppy, before a trainer got ahold of him. To me must be hunted, not just playing the games, how is he producing? Does he produce winners with different females, how would he match up with my goals. I wa...

Pole barn. Thats a pretty good price if it is including the concrete and labor, and the excavating if any is necessary.

LVRGSP

lvrgsp

Razor where were you at? I am hoping in that going later will have the birds holding a little better. I am pretty sure I will be going to the Dodge City area and hunting the surrounding areas.

Thanks all

Birdhunter1,

P.M. me or shoot me an e-mail I would like to ask a few more questions if I may.

lvrgsp

lvrgsp

As long as I can get into some birds everyday I will be more than happy, quail, pheasants, chickens, and huns any of them would be good for me. I actually prefer late season birds. Really hoping to see how my 15 mos. old male pup is going to open up on the prairies, that is what I am pushing for. :l...

lvrgsp

I am planning on heading to Kansas the end of December for some upland game hunting. My question is, what should I expect the weather and late season birds to be like, and where would be the best place to go? I was thinking of going to the Dodge City, or Garden City area. Any help would be greatly a...

Nothing posted on the wb about the OGD yet. Anyone have any news?

Yes just the OGD is left if the weather holds out I would say it should be over by the weekend.

Good friend called me from camp tonight, they have made it through 13 braces as of today. I believe he said they have 3 or 4 dogs they could use from day 1, and 1 dog from all of today, they had a rough day today, should finish up tomorrow. The temp is supposed to be mid 70's tomorrow. From my undes...

Jerry,
Hope your feeling well.

Anyone have any updates for the AA?

Thanks,
LVRGSP

Congrats to Dave on the win.

How did the second day play out I heard it was pretty windy and most of the dogs did not do well in that?

LVRGSP

lvrgsp

Any news on the futurity? Were they able to finish the braces this morning?

Thanks,

LVRGSP

lvrgsp

I use my Rem. 1187 Light Contour for almost everything and also have an older stevens pump that I refinished. My only knock on the Remingtons lately is there blueing leaves much to be desired. My 1187's blueing sucks.

LVRGSP

lvrgsp

I agree with Rookie call TT they have a great support staff and Tech dept. and then get a hold of the collar clininc.

LVRGSP

lvrgsp

Any word on the futurity and the braces that ran yesterday?

LVRGSP

lvrgsp

Mo what kind of range are we talking about for the launchers? 100 yds? The other attraction to EZ is the medium sized launcher.

Lvrgsp

lvrgsp

That is the one I am talking about John, I believe I am going to get the medium size, I think they call it a pigeon launcher, with their remotes. Unfortunately they are on backorder now.

lvrgsp

lvrgsp

Well they must not be to bad Lion country supply is backordered on them, and at there price I can see why. 100.00 cheaper than dogtra and about 80.00 cheaper than dt systems, somebody must be buying them.

lvrgsp

lvrgsp

Well the long term goal is for me to just stay kind of active in the field games, until I can have enough time to get a dog or two on the field trial circuit. Jack is definately going to be a dog I can build a line from to keep competing and hunting. At least that is my opinion. Ha ha
