Have heard from people that have attended this year and last years in St. Paul. The consensus seems to be that this years fest is a smaller scale of last years with regards to vendors and such. Probably has something to do with the economy.

For pure training videos, Perfect Start/Perfect Finish are IMO a great tool to model your training after. For learning about the history of the breed (GSP) from it's development to current times, Georgina Byrne's "Der Deutsch Kurzhaar" is a highly recommended read and a book that you will never get ...

I have a young dog who has seasonal atopic dermatitis (allergies). Had him into a Veterinary Dermatologists and he couldn't pin down what the offending allergens were with the skin testing so he suggested a product called "Atopica" by it's trade name. It's generic term is Cyclosporin. It's usually s...

Look into this for adding weight : http://theherbs.info/Pets/satinball.html Works guaranteed. It's advertised for dog who won't eat, but works great for very thin dogs or those who have trouble maintaining a decent weight. Makes the coat as shiny as you'll every see. Just start slowly to get their s...

If you enjoy Pheasant hunting you owe it to yourself to attend at least one Pheasant Fest. Unlike other sportsman shows this one is dedicated to Pheasants and Pheasant hunting. Seminars alone are worth the admission and plenty of them. Everything is covered from gear to dogs to habitat and everythin...

I have a soon to be 12 year old male who if it weren't for a little graying around the eyes and muzzle you wouldn't guess he was that old. Still spry and full of vigor and very trim and fit for his age.

I haven't, but just received some snow shoes for Xmas and as soon as I recover from my stress fractured foot I am going to try them out. From what I have read from people who use them is to get very acquainted with them (non-hunting) before you try them out with a loaded gun. Can be a little clumsy ...

Here's a tip that might save you more money than taking directly to a gunsmith. If you can find a metal finishing shop in your area most of them should be able to handle it. I took a barrel to such a place to have re-blued about 10 years ago and they charged me $40 or so I believe for a single barre...

I feel it's a good magazine. Nice articles with some very informative. Wish they had an issue every month but I'll take what they give me.

Chaingang

Well I just got back from the shop here in town, and I believe the beretta is amazing...the 1100 G3 was just a little different on the fit. It was a very nice gun though. The Beretta on the other hand just felt short for me...ended up looking at the Weatherby SA08 12/28 and itwas like a miracle fit...

Chaingang

I've never had much luck with the 1100's. Lots of jamming issues. Of course those were guns from the late 70's and early 80's. Not sure what the new ones are like so can't comment on them. I'm sure many have used and still use their 1100's and love them, just didn't work out for me. Anyway since the...

Hi, my psp has a skin problem. It showed up as flakey skin on his liver head.(the rest of him is white) After 2 weeks it was getting worse and I could feel bumps and flaking skin on his body. Especially in his groin and sides. Took him to the vet and they checked for mites and bacteria on the skin....

Nice looking roosters. I'm green with envy. My season was cut very short this year because of a fractured bone in my foot.

May be able to do some preserve hunts later this winter but it won't be the same.

How long has he been on the Eagle Pack? Give it some time and if shedding continues then switch to something else. Look for feeds rich in Omega fatty acids. Shedding is normal and twice a year (fall and spring normally) most will blow there coats to allow a new coat to come in. During these times ex...

I just tried some new boots last week for the first time.

Randy, it was a good trip. Wasn't sure what to expect when we left. A phone call a few days before warned us of 8-10 inches of snow with considerable drifting. CRP completely snowed in. Lucky for us the warm weather descended just before we arrived melting a bunch of it and crusting what was left so...

I am a green pheasant hunter to say the least. I am looking for any help you can give regarding hunting pheasants in an unfamiliar area, where you don't know their patterns or where they will go when pressured. You have to admit, it is a little overwhelming when you step out into the wide open spac...

Was just out in Mott (13th - 17th). The day before we arrived it got up to 50 degrees and melted at least 50% of the snow from what I was told by the friends we were staying with. Lots of grass now showing with only hard drifted areas still showing much snow. The whole time we were there the temps w...

I've used Nutrisource in the past. A quality feed IMO. Fed the Super Performance formula. Excellent results, just a little pricey as Ezzy stated. I've since been feeding Native dog food by Kent Feeds which has given similar results and is cheaper.

At the retail level many retailers pay a month to several months in advance for their current inventory. When inventory levels drop and new orders are put in prices may reflect the lower fuel costs. Prices should eventually trickle down to the consumer level.

I thought I would chime in here on the subject of Glycogen replenishment with a review of a product I just tried for the first time on a 5 day hunting trip to Nodak. The product is called "K9 Restart" made by a company called Techmix Inc. http://www.sportingdoghealth.com/index.php I heard about the ...

Those are 2 large size crates sitting side by side. I can get a third smaller kennel in and still have room on one side for other gear or laying out a sleeping bag??

I had a Beretta Ureka 20 gauge, 26" barrel shotgun, but when I broke my shoulder last year, the idea of the recoil into my shoulder was enough for me to sell it.

No, you need to take precautions as to NOT get any in the eyes. Soak a cloth in the solution and gently apply around the face. I've been trying to find anyone who has actually used the "Skunk Off" commercial formula. If it works, it may be a better alternative as it would appear you do not need to r...

All I know is the peroxide formula works as advertised. Several times have had the unfortunate task of using it on a dog that just does not seem to learn.

Chaingang

Justin, maybe you are swapping feeds around too much? Settle on one and stay with it for a good bit. You can try A little canned pumpkin with a tablespoon of plain unsweetened yogurt each day in the feed for a couple weeks. The live cultures in the yogurt are good for the gut. Make sure to get real ...

I've used Frontline plus in the past and it did do a fairly good job. However sometimes they would still attach even if they would die shortly after. This spring I tried a "Preventic collar" which is supposed to last 3-4 months. They claim that it will prevent the tick from attaching and I will admi...

I usually carry the ingredients for the peroxide/baking soda formula with me. The problem with this is you need a fair amount of water to do a final rinse, so if you don't have access to a hose you need to carry a fair amount of water with you. It does work very well though at removing 95% of the sm...

Have to agree with Big Steve. The Glucosamine that is contained in the food is in very small quantities to keep costs down. If you really feel the need for it, best to supplement with a capsule form. I'm currently supplementing my 11 year old with such a product that also contains MSM along with the...

I've used Sardines packed in water for extra fat and protein. Sure makes the kibble more attractive for tired dogs not interested in eating much.

Generally as the season progresses sharptail will usually group up in larger numbers. Unfortunately this also makes them extremely wary and very difficult to approach within gun range or hold for a dog. Weather plays a big part in it also. Warm sunny days may be your best bet in the late season. As ...

I''ve never really gone to a super performance feed on any brand (except when I was blending Pro Plan Performance with their Sensitive Skin & Stomach formula).

Actually it does make a difference whether you go with 3" or 2 3/4. It makes a difference with pattern. I am telling you that a 3" 1 1/4 load will throw a pattern a worse pattern with flyers and strung out shot than a 2 3/4" shell with 1 1/8 will. It is simple physics. Yes you want to pattern the l...

Luke, didn't you already start a thread on this subject? If the amount of money you want to spend on non toxic shot is important to you, simply find the best deal on steel shot that you can find and go with it. They will work just fine on Phez. Someone mentioned patterning. No matter what someone re...
