It seems like an odd time to hold it. If it was going to be this close to Nationals in Eureka, why didnt they just move it to run with the Nationals in Eureka.

My guess is that they are going to see a reduced entry at the NAGDC as a result of the chosen dates.

UPDATE: Took Storm into the vet today for a large lump that had developed at rear of his ribcage. The lump was filled with puss and they opened up the wound today, cleaned it out, installed a drain, and have him on a couple types of anti-biotics. Thanks to Robbi Gulledge giving me a quick heads up r...

It is a shame. I think our club like most others is suffering from people willing to step up and run things. We have had more or less the same 12 people doing everything for the last 10 years or so and you can only pass the jobs around so many times. Hopefully we can regroup and put on the event nex...

I have a small coop that I have been keeping 8-10 pigeons in for about the last year. Flying them every evening before feeding and dusk, return rate has been superb, healthy good flying birds. A few nights ago something or someone got into my coop and killed two birds, the coop was opened the next m...

Dennis, sorry to hear about the loss of Max. I know he was way more than just a "dog" to you. Dogs like this will continue to live in your heart and memories forever.

I would say ruffed is probably considered one of the better eating birds out there. I enjoy them very much.

I am one of the weird guys that really like eating sharptail. They are my favorites to pursue and to dine on.

Neat posting. Thanks Doug.

Nice website Wes. I looked at it the other day and was impressed.

I have heard of this dog and seen the pedigree, but even being in the same general pert of the country I haven't seen this dog on the ground.

Can anyone share any insights, thoughts, or experiences of what this dog is like. Feel free to post here or send an IM.

Thanks

Chainlink by all means.

Unless you end up with a real smart one and have to install an "invisible" along with the chainlink to keep the dog in

Good looking pup there Doug, she should be fun

Nothing on this planet makes me madder than a dog knowing a command, and willfully disobeying it.

Couldn't agree more!!!

I knew horses were involved

Typically yes they are, but i was at a FT once that offered a walking AA stake. Darndest thing i had ever heard of.

original mngsp

I use to move alot faster then I do now but I'm injured more now!! Go figure!!

Amen to that Ted!!

original mngsp

Welcome back Ted.

original mngsp

I have never had an AA dog but I have had dogs and seen some that go so hard that they overrun their nose.

original mngsp

The same happens in field trials,but you dont have to wait 2 years to run another trial like you had to for the invite back in the day.

So very true.

original mngsp

Im not claiming to be an expert. But my observation is that most dogs with "Trial-Type" breeding can make very good NAVHDA dogs. A lot of what we want a dog to turn out like is a result more of socialization and early training more than the breeding. This of course assumes that the animal is a well ...

Those type of things just seem wrong to me in so many ways. Safety, too many people that may not know what the heck they are doing end up shooting toward posters, shot low flying birds over dogs, etc. All to often it becomes nothing more than a "kill fest" where its all about shooting limits is quic...

When you say: It wasn't 10 minutes into the hunt when he started trotting and shortening his range dramatically and seemed to lose some focus on what we were doing. Was this the first time he was hunted that day? And what happened after he shortened up? Did he go back to hunting, or did you just pu...

Is it possible its hypoglycemia? Lost focus? Seemed disoriented? I wouldn't say disorientated. Still very sharp on commands and knowing what is going on, where he is, etc. When I say lose focus i'm referring to the drive to find birds and explode the countryside, which is what he will do in cooler ...

Neat post. Those old hunting dogs provide some of the fondest memories a person could ask for. The only sad thing is that they age faster than we do and we wish we could spend more time with them.

Thanks again for posting.

I will be taking the dog into the vet for an exam and some blood work later this week or early next week. Prior to that I figure i could solicit opinions and ideas from the very knowledgeable members of this forum. What is happening is the the dog Storm basically can't handle even what i consider mo...

I just came back from a weekend of pheasant hunting in SoDak. Hunting partner and I both used Prairie Storm for the first time. His load, 2 3/4" 1 1/4 oz #4 12 gauge at 1500 fps. I was using a 3" 1 1/4oz #5 20 gauge at 1300 fps. The results were nothing but extraordinary. We were both shooting O/U c...

I shoot Federal ammo in all my shotguns. Fine quality ammo, many choices, and plus its made about 10 miles from me. I like keeping my money close if I can. For 12 gauge pheasant I use the Pheasant Forever loads. http://www.federalpremium.com/products/details/shotshell.aspx?id=408 early season 2 3/4"...

Greg, man Im sorry to hear the sad news. Gunner was a cool dog and I know from talking to you, he was much more than just a "dawg".

I have spoken with Chris Benskin about the GSP of MN's FT at Solon this weekend, but the last I did chat with him about it...he had 20 entries in hand, with some 30 "saying" they were coming.

isnt there also an unwritten rule , something to this effect "if it looks like a GSP and you pay the entry fee."

Very good info Bruce, couldnt have said it better myself.

MIne was a 20 gauge single shot Winchester that i received as a Christmas gift from my parents when I was 10 or 11 years old. Haven't used it for years but it still is in the gunsafe and gets cleaned and oiled once a year. Probably will keep that one until i'm done with my time on this earth.

whoa, here, heal, and some occasional birdwork just to keep the spirits up.
