I would look into going for sure. Wonder how many dog food company reps and such you could draw into a event like this?

Ok so to heck with it, 6 days with the new pigeon trap and no birds! So we went tonight climbed up and hand picked us about 12 of them. 10 minutes!

Onk

As all my past dogs in life have only been steady to wing not wing and shot I figured I'd ask you hunters, not so much trialers, what the pro's and con's of each is in your opinion. Also if it is worth the training and time to teach your dog wing and shot if you have no plans on testing or trialing....

I did what topher said and place a bottom in the cage and also changed the feed I was using this after noon. At the last distant drive bye I am happy to report there were several pigeons on the cage and up to 10 or so around it on the ground. None inside the cage yet but it is looking up. Thanks for...

Got a new pigeon trap and the birds won't come near it. Started it on the ground until coons started moving it and eating the food. Now attached 1x4 perches on each end kind of like gang planks and elavated it up to the over hang, it is solid not swinging in the breeze. There are about 100 pigeons w...

Barn pigeons seem to work fine for me. I kind of do the same as in this video, hope it helps!

I would say they eat the pigeons! Just a guess.

Hey I say if your happy doing what you want and are not counting on any of us that work the "9-5" for anything such as, ( health care, food, housing, utilities or transportation) then have at it!

They seemed to have trouble with the dog running off from them all the time and they were always scared of it getting eaten by a bear! For mountain men they sure did'nt know sic'em about hunting deer. There is a sceen I swore the friend of the guy hunting was doing a drum solo instead of rattling. I...

Just called the South Dakota Department of Wildlife and requested my public land atlas, the 2012 ones will be sent out in Sept.. While I had them on the phone I found out that anyone over 16 years of age does not have to have hunter safety and health papers on dogs from a vet are required. Thanks fo...

Onk

Ok thanks. I checked their web site and couldnt find the info, thats why I asked on here. I'll request the info when I call to order my atlas.

Onk

We are in the works of putting together a public hunting area trip to SD and need to know if SD requires out of state hunters to have hunter safety card/cert.! Here in Missouri I am old enough I was grandfathered in and have never taken it. I know when we went to Kansas the permit sales clerk said i...

As a VFW member let me say this could be the coolest VFW function I have ever heard of!!!!! Great idea, Congrats and good luck! Only wish I was closer to help out!

Origional post was how to get from the barrel to the ground. Pertty simple really, take the dog off the barrel!

Never thought of that! heck my dogs been on that darn barrel going on two weeks now! Thanks!

Onk

What is the best method of going from the table/barrel to the ground with the whoa command? Dog is very staunch on the table and when first set on the ground and whoa command is given, after that its pretty lame. I've seen both the rope and shock collar around the flank area methods, but was wonderi...

How so? I'm doing good to train the dog, now I have to train the birds?!

Onk

Just ordered my pigeon trap and need to know if wild pigeons will rehome for sure. If so how far from the coop can you train or is distance not a problem? Thanks

Onk

Twice a day, just split his daily ration that he would get if I fed at one time. Not sure, but he seems to have less waste to clean that way. Don't know why, I guess his body uses more of the food up with the smaller portions. Then again I could just be crazy!

Onk

congrats!

Very nice!

Found this and thought I'd share it in case others were thinking about exploring this kind of hunting like I am.

Very nice congrats and enjoy!

I think I can afford .87 cents a day! Why not you only live once!

They have found birds, thanks for your offer!

Onk

As a Rural Mail Carrier I am seeing more birds this spring than I have in several years on my 80 mile route each day. Hoping it is a sign of good things to come!

Welcome to GDF, enjoy!

I laughed till it dawned on me I could be the subject of your post!

That being said, what food do you think is best for the dog owners like me to lose weight, stay healthy and have a shiny head of hair?

Onk

will ask them and get back with you.

Onk

Anyone in the KC/Liberty Mo. area sell pigeons for training? Friend in that area is needing a few. Thanks

Onk

Enjoyed looking at all these great looking dogs! I've had my Brit for a bit over a year now and love it. Had EP's my entire life so it was a change, but one I'm glad I made. Enjoy your new pup!

Onk

Welcome to GDF!

Onk

I have never seen anything that says a Brit is anymore likely to have seizures than another breed. I think dogs are a lot like people, some are born with problems and health issues no matter the blood line or breeding. This might help. http://www.petmd.com/dog/conditions/neurological/c_dg_seizures_c...

http://www.hardinggamebirds.com/ Tried this place 3 or 4 times this year when time was limited and wanted to get the pup into some birds for the work. We had fun each time we went, but it is not wild bird hunting. For dog training and a short trip with a couple friends it is well worth it. Plus most...

Nice Ultra, only question is was your wife drinking because she was marrying you or out of the happyness of marrying you?

Onk

I chickened out! Went with the standard, " Her mother and I"! She was a nervous bridezilla wreck and figured it might send her over the edge, but oh it was tempting!

Onk

Finally back on GDF after another home PC crash, Texas fishing trip and a daughters wedding! Missed reading all the info on here and of course all the great people. Time to once again catch up on some GDF reading!

Onk

After almost 3 weeks I once again have internet! Don't even know how hooked you are on a web site until you don't have it! Got some catching up to do on here!

Christmas Eve day hunt on a game bird farm had some positive signs. We shot 2 roosters 21 bobs and one chukar. Dex found all but 2 birds in some nasty tick grass. When he found the birds he would stand over them till they were picked up. The first Bob that had ever been shot over him was yesterday a...

Don I prob. blew it from the start with this pup as he used to retrieve when in the yard playing fetch, but I would play it with him till he got tired of it instead of 3 or 4 times and leaving him wanting more. The next thing I knew he would go to retrieve and run around with the item like a game be...

Took two wings rubber banded them around a jersey glove and took the dog out in the yard on a CC. Went back to Perfection Kennels basics, got the pup excited with the wings tossed only 5 to 10 ft saying fetch. He retrieved 3 times (all that I threw) in a row so I got him excited with the wings once ...

My Brit pup will be a year old here in a day or two, when hunting he finds every dead bird and almost every wounded bird (lost 1). He won't retrieve the bird to me only stands over the bird kind of like guarding it unless one of the guys I'm hunting with picks the bird up, then he snatches it from t...
