im assuming this is your first dog? if it is i was in the same boat last year. i took him out and had a great time. i kept my expectations low and he exceeded them. i bought a dog to hunt with and thats what i did. go have fun and let the dog do what its supposed to do. i know some people want a fin...

PP. THANKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!. I chipped my old mans gun as a kid hunting and just never fixed it. now i plan on passing it down. not so much for the fact that its the best gun, but it has personal value. thanks again!

diplomat019

diplomat019

I am looking for a Beretta Mod. 302 stock 12 gauge. I chipped mine and that gun is discontinued. Cant seem to find one online either. Any ides of where to look? thanks

diplomat019

Thats not a bad idea. I think I might have to do that as well.

diplomat019

im using bobwhites. recall has been good. from what i read and my own experience this is how i make it work. i keep them in the pen for about a week without releasing any. then every day/other day after the first week i will release a few, without letting the dog go for them. just release them and l...

i built a johnny house from a 55 gallon plastic drum. works fine for my situation. i keep about 10 in there at a time. if you google "plastic drum johnny house" you will see some pics and directions. I had mine tucked in the corner of my yard, kinda in a wooded area. when my dog found they were ther...

diplomat019

I don't even pay any mind to people who have that ideology or make comments like that. I don't even know where to begin. lol

diplomat019

try just walking into the woods/field and sitting down. let him just get bored with standing by you and venture out to build up his confidence.

diplomat019

hes 11 weeks old. let him have fun. he's a baby

diplomat019

Nice! There seems to he tonssss of state land up there. Where bout in tug hill? We were looking in oneida county. Camden area

diplomat019

rich- can't wait to see pics. are they mostly on private land or do they make their way to state land? side note. me and some friends were close to buying land in the tug hill region, but seller wouldn't budge. some good grouse up there from what i heard as well. I'm thinking about making a trip thi...

diplomat019

any of you guys hunt the finger lake region? I've read that there are wild pheasant populations up there?

diplomat019

have you tried disciplining him? a slap on the muzzle or grabbing the scruff of his neck while giving a no. sounds like it could be a discipline thing. I'm still going through it with my 1 year old gsp. he will eat any human food, but we correct him if we see him thinking about it. i don't think you...

diplomat019

i live in duchess county.

diplomat019

to reply "how hard"? there was a few times that i caught him mid jump and he ended up on his back. i wouldn't go karate kid on him but he sure as heck felt my knee..

diplomat019

my gsp did the same. he's 1 now. i tried a bunch of things, but what finally got him to stop is knees to the chest and a "no". when he jumped i would give him a healthy knee to his chest with "no". i felt bad doing it but he stopped. after a few knees he learned. id even tell strangers to do it if i...

diplomat019

nice house! i built one out of a 55 gallon plastic drum. i fed them regular bird seed from walmart. they ate it all up and seemed ok to me

diplomat019

I'm currently using diamond naturals. i get it at tractor supply in a 40lb bag. i wanna say its $28. i like it. dog is looking good too.

diplomat019

a little off topic, but still in the discussion of heat. my dog has been extra lethargic as of late (2 weeks). I'm in ny and its been getting fairly hot and humid. 80-90 during the day. i was taking him out everyday to run at the dog park and then swim at the creek behind it for about 2 hours at a t...

diplomat019

my gsp wasn't too crazy for water as a pup (less than a year). then one day I'm at the dog park with him and there is a huge lake that had some geese swimming in the middle. he just took off swimming after them to my surprise. after that he was hooked on swimming. id suggest doing something that mak...

diplomat019

exactly my point sharon.

diplomat019

i get what you mean, but whats the point of the site then? nobody would post anything ever again.

diplomat019

you can say that about every thread here then. id imagine every answer has been given at one time.

diplomat019

ray. i don't offer my advice because I'm a newbie. i sit back and take in what advice is given by others ( and its greatly appreciated). i don't know all the answers hence why i don't post answers and when i do post its mainly questions. and it gets played out when a new dog owner asks questions tha...

diplomat019

my point is this thread could have just been answered instead of getting some smart "bleep" response i.e.-"try the search bar". if you got the time to type that, then you might as well just answer they guys question.

this is why people don't ask questions, myself included.

i just bought a beretta a300 12 ga semi auto. it was in my range $700. i love it.

diplomat019

sharon. are u meaning to not use quail and use hard flying pigeons instead? thats what i took from your comment. i dont have a pigeon coop and i built a mini johnny house. my dog is 1 now (still a puppy i guess). but why not quail? ive been to navhda training, trained with my breeder and they both u...

diplomat019

thanks. coturnix are easier to come by. and there is a live poultry shop by me, but the owners jet say "quail" thats why i wanted to know if there was a visible difference. they look like bobwhite but I'm not totally sure.

diplomat019

Can someone tell me the visable difference to tell the two apart. And do coturnix recall/do well for training purposes ? Thanks.

diplomat019

i spray on top of his monthly treatment as well. haven't seen any negative affects

diplomat019

is diamond and kirkland the same product? or do they have their differences? just asking cause my dog doesn't seem to bee to keen on diamond naturals. just wondering if i switched to kirkland would he be in the same boat. thanks

diplomat019

i am so confused with this thread...lol

diplomat019

i hate when i ask question about specifics and getting answers for different brands....but, i bought a beretta a300 for 700 and i love it. shoots great, looks good, and easy to disassemble. and beretta puts out good products. not saying that cz and weatherby don't, but i am partial to beretta and wo...

diplomat019

what is the breeder telling you? who are you buying this from that doesn't know what kind of dog they have?

diplomat019

charlie- i bowed out a while ago lol. you had a nice run tho haha

id like to speak on behalf of the whole thread. lets shut this thang down and before we start to sound like the dog food threads lol.

ENJOY MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND!

diplomat019

thats sucks. pack your wifes bags and let her know you had a good run. hahahahaha jk.

good luck on the search. ever consider a versatile dog? could do all things you want plus upland. just a thought

diplomat019

why are you getting rid of your dog?

diplomat019

Beretta a300 as well. I just bought one and love it. Shot great out of the box and super easy to disassemble and clean.

Rich k- you havethe a300?

diplomat019

Thanks ez4

diplomat019

your not reading what I'm writing. if you research what a classic liberal is and TRUE liberalism, it is not what you are referring to. our founding fathers were liberal. do you not agree for what they stood for? what people refer to as "liberal" is not what a true liberal is. and a classic liberal a...

diplomat019

a libertarian is a classic liberal.

diplomat019

Ez 4- exactly. The true liberalism is not what that picture is. People think liberalism means entitlements and handouts with big govt holding ur hand thru life. Its the total opposite.

diplomat019

ezzy. i dont know if your taking a dig at me or not. its kinda a sideways comment. anyway to respond to your response, yes and no. some of it falls under what a conservative believes. but how can you tell an american citizen who pays taxes who they can and cant marry and say you stand for liberty an...

diplomat019

Thats not liberalism. Id consider myself a liberal. I believe in liberty and equality, free and fair elections, civil rights, freedom of the press, freedom of religion, free trade, and private property. More state rights and less federal power. Our founding fathers were true liberals. What your post...

diplomat019

polmaise- you make good points about fox hunting and tail docking. also like to throw in hunting with dogs for certain game. hmmmmmm. do you think its more of an "old school" tradition that is fading away with generations rather than a political thing? hunting in general is losing outdoorsmen by the...

diplomat019

in my opinion i don't think anyone would even care. the same group of people who dislike hunting would dislike this. the people who like hunting would enjoy this. and the people without a horse in the race wouldn't care.

diplomat019

ive kept 10 in there at most times and it seemed to be ok. im sure i could have put a few more in, but id say around 10-12 comfortably.
