The deer population has dropped considerably. The whole states deer pop was down due to last years harsh winter. Grey wolves in Minnesota back on the endangered list is a joke. 22 trapped this fall those numbers will be replaced in a year or 2. Gov. trapper took 20 plus of a farm up by Ore a few ye...

We've been using breedmate for about 10 yrs now. We don't have a large data base . Mostly stock behind our dogs. Our breedmate isn.t working at this time. Have to order a new program.

Both will do you fine.

Why, It's nice to have this info available . Nice to know where to find it also.

Ms. Cage

Thanks for posting this info.

Ms. Cage

I think any breed is capable of hunting anything you want. All a matter of training and exposure

Another option making the Tri Tronics a little more versatile .

Ms. Cage

If you don`t need the GPS I would recommend the Dogtra Edge. One button for each collar up to four. No switch to switch or find. By that time it is usually too late anyways. I like it for training also. I can put one collar on the neck and another around the flank if I am teaching steadiness. Very ...

Reviewed by my husband. Got my Tri tronic 550 today . First off wish it was a 100. Much rather pay another $100.00 and have it made in the USA. The cons, the lights on the receiver I find no need for. I'll tape that off for the duck blind. the bark eliminator can hit the road. I'd rather have a bark...

It's here this morning. Deer hunters are smiling with tomorrow being opener.

Ms. Cage

Our 550 should arrive tomorrow. Wish the 100 was still available.

Ms. Cage

Good job Nate and Gibby.

Ms. Cage

Stoneface, I enjoyed your video. We basically use the same method before we begin FF. The retrieve is there and the delivery to hand. We use very little treats. praise is mostly the reward.

Ms. Cage

I am assuming the dog can already track running birds (two different things IMO). As I explained they are two different things. How can you teach a dog to hold a area 100 yards away without locating scent first or seeing the fall. The track helps develop the wellingness to fallow scent to unknown p...

Ms. Cage

Don and birdoggers both methods work . no matter what object you use the object should be drug to create a scent trail. preferred object are object that give off good scent like hot dogs , chicken or pop a hole in a can of sardines and allow the juice to drip as you drag. Dogs love the smell of sard...

There were 2 wolves seen walking through a residential area of Grand Rapids mid-day a week or so ago... It's getting to be a common thing to see wolves in the back yard or in the field for folks in the Buck Lake area. Seems they no longer fearing man... Next thing you know you'll wake up in the mor...

Maybe the numbers will decrease come deer season!!!

Ms. Cage

Congrats to all. Nice to see some Minnesotans bring it home.

Ms. Cage

It'll take a couple of real hard freezes to knock out the deer tick out. Far hardier little bugger then a wood tick. Good grouse numbers but the woodcock must have flown right past us this year. Haven't many doodles since the first of the month.

Ms. Cage

Southwind , Very nice vault. I am having trouble reading the fender of your truck. Is that the new eco diesel? If so, how do you like it, and what kind or real world fuel mileage do you get with it? Yes, truck is the ecodiesel . Ram rates the truck 4x4 at 27 mpg on the highway. Howie been looking at...

The launcher simulates the wild bird closely enough until basic training is complete, then only wild birds can finish the dog.A young dog learns far faster with a launcher because the situation is always controlled. +1 Being a ruffed grouse hunter a dog never points to far off.

I never breed for what a buyer wants. I breed for what I want and hopefully buyers get on board. I dictate my breeding program , not future buyers.

I thought Shooting Starr was a washed up ,years past bloodline.

Sounds to me like run off dogs. My husband has lost one dog in his life. He left his jacket where the truck was parked. The next morning the dog was laying on the jacket.

Ms. Cage

SHAME on you ! ! IMO, you should never transport a dog that isn't crated. What kind of shape would the dog be in if it was another vehicle and not just a deer ?A crate is the dog's equivalent to seat belts and air bags. Yah , we always crate our dogs. Yesterday was a very busy day. Tug spent his wh...

Last night we were heading to Twin Cities to test Kate in her NA test this morning and hit a deer on I 35. Deer came from no where. Our pup was riding in my lap when the air bags blew.

Without a OFA rating, Penn hip number it's all lip service. I know my vet is plenty capable of reading hips. It's like saying my dog could have been a NC, NFC, FC, VC. Proof is in the pudding.
