He will be on doxycycline for 30 days...hopefully that will take care of it.

One of our GSP's was just diagnosed with anaplasmosis...most likely came from hunting down south in WI this year. Just a heads up that, from what I hear, this is becoming more prevalent in northern WI. I use Frontline and vaccinate for lymes because we go south to tickland, but it sure didn't stop t...

By a DT manual or automatic...easy to load and quiet.

I really like the method Hickox uses with the kennel to collar condition. It can be found on just about any of his videos and I have used it on three dogs with good results.

No birds or anything hunting involved and you teach the dog to kennel on command.

M1Tanker

Don't give up hope.

I had the unfortunate luck of living through 2 of my hunting companions last dogs in the Lakes States Region this year and each time the dogs showed up a week later.

Wishing you the best that the dog will be picked up.

This weekend was the annual pheasant hunt...sadly, it usually marks the end of the upland season for us due to the cold and snow but it was a good time nonetheless: The Mrs. and Gunner: http://img.villagephotos.com/p/2008-8/1318327/PHEASANTS3.JPG Gunner and I: http://img.villagephotos.com/p/2008-8/1...

My female GSP has picked up on that sound.

I watched her stop on point this year and then look 15 feet up in the tree when the bird starting making the noise.

M1Tanker

Definitely gets my vote also...good one!

M1Tanker

I would go with the title of your thread...the skid plate. I have one for each of my dogs and they are bullet proof!

M1Tanker

Thanks for the mojo folks.

Nutmeg was found, very tired and hungry, seven miles from where she was lost last Monday!

Needless to say, my Brother-in-law is relieved.

M1Tanker

Thanks for the advice guys. He did the jacket for two days with no luck. He has spoken with the loggers, DNR, and other bird hunters that will be hunting their for the week. We will get on the horn to the vets office and sheriff. I don't want to give GPS over the web for fear of people's covers, etc...

My brother-in-law lost a 7 year old English Setter who answers to Nutmeg in the Merrill/Tomahawk (New Wood) area this afternoon. She ran off, even through the e-collar when we got into a mess of birds and didn't come back. She is wearing a green tri-tronics e/beeper collar that is turned on and she ...

I have a 10 yr old GSP we recently brought to our home this summer. He came to us a bit overweight but he took off a good 10 lbs prior to the hunting season thanks to a ton of swimming and running with the other dogs. On the first weekend of the grouse season we hunted three days straight and he saw...

M1Tanker

Brenda: Very sorry to hear about your loss. Rip will be sorely missed and our family sends our condolences. I have one of his sons and a grandson...they are both the most wonderful dogs a person could ask for. I am hoping that the big guy is running free in a big field full of birds right now. Hang ...

M1Tanker

Bird number seemed to be about the same as last year...maybe down a bit but too early to tell.

Had 10 points that produced 14 grouse and 3 woodcock for 8 hours of hunting.

I have to think of some excuses for my 1 for 5 shooting today...it must have been all the leaves on the trees!

M1Tanker

Hunted Northeast WI for the opener and it was hit or miss...typical early season where is you find one, you find three and then you go two hours between finds. Saturday I moved 8 grouse and 4 woodies in 4 hours of hunting and Sunday morning brought a couple of false points by the pup and a couple of...

M1Tanker

Good luck.

You are about to enter the world of the grouse hunter...forget about hunting trips out west, you are going to become possessed.

M1Tanker

Nice checklist...thanks for sharing!

M1Tanker

I have an Innotek but our barker barks right through it when I am running other dogs...good prey drive but bad manners.

I need a recommendation for a no bark collar that he won't bark through...help.

M1Tanker

Congrats...nice looking picture

M1Tanker

I am looking for folks to post pictures of their handcrafted dog trailers so I can get some ideas to help me put one together this summer.

Thanks!

M1Tanker

Brenda...very sorry to hear about the loss of Logan.

M1Tanker

I would agree with the assessment that grouse hunting anywhere within a 50 mile radius of Crystal Falls is going to look like the opening day of pheasant season at a public hunting 40...a lot of folks from out of state. You would be better off going a little southest of Crandon back into the Laona a...

My friend who is a pro trainer has always told me..."you can take it out of them, but you can't put it in them"...this saying usually applies to the total package of drive, desire, etc. However, I could see how it could apply to range as it has been my experience that a dog can be brought "in" but i...

M1Tanker

I couldn't agree more with all of the other positive comments.

This may sound simple, but the biggest thing I appreciate is the fact that you get a hand written thank you note with your order.

M1Tanker

You are exactly right sir...I finally tried it and it did the same for me.

Thanks!

M1Tanker

Nice tribute...very sorry to hear about your loss

M1Tanker

I got one for Christmas and I can't figure out how to delete maps from the unit itself after you have downloaded them and used them. It only had 24 MB internal memory so it won't hold the entire U.S., or at least all of the different quads where I hunt. Any help on how to remove the mapsource maps f...

M1Tanker

Congrats

M1Tanker

Nice pics...we have the same weather in the U.P. today

M1Tanker

Those "Skid Plates" are durable...I have one going on 6 years now.

M1Tanker

Tri-tronics...they may cost a bit more but my first one is 6 years going strong...the beeper has been replaced twice but the collar is still going.

I would call the fellow at the Collar Clinic and ask his opinion since he refurbishes a lot of collars.

M1Tanker

October 2007....South Dakota...Skunk buried in the grass.

The dog was rock solid and I thought there was a bird dug in out in front of him so I kicked the grass...and kicked a skunk who just so happened to unleash a ton of stink gas all over my boots, chaps, and dog.

M1Tanker

I am looking to see if anyone uses some form of supplement to prevent future joint problems in their dogs.

I was eyeballing the Annamet Endure that LCS sells and it is marketed as a supplement to prevent future joint problems.

Any thoughts?

M1Tanker

Pigeons will definitely fit in the quail sized DT...it is much larger than you think.

And, if you have homers you can launch the bird without a tether and not worry about losing birds!

I like my DT but everyone has their favorite.

M1Tanker

natenc...PM me when you get a chance and let me know where you were thinking of going and I'll try to steer you in the right direction.

M1Tanker

Today marked our last day of hunting this year. There was about 10 inches of snow on the ground but it was crusty halfway under from a previous freeze-thaw so I wasn't sure what to expect. I had planned to go on snowshoes but a couple of my hunting areas have some logging going on...skidders make wo...

I live about 30 miles NE of Ralph and I can confirm that the grouse, for one reason or another, have learned to run, run, run, and run this year. I have a 6 year old GSP that handles grouse like magic...and he has been duped more than once this year. Glad to hear you hit some woodcock as I haven't s...

M1Tanker

Glad you had a good time close to my backyard!

Sounds like you are hooked like I was seven years ago when I packed up and moved up here for good.

M1Tanker

Thanks for the good advice and comments. I spent the day at a hunt club with one of my best friends who is a pro trainer and his remarks echoed what has been said here, especially saying nothing and bumping her with the collar until she stops so I am going to work on that along with going back to th...

Hi Folks. I have a female 2 1/2 year old GSP who is in her third hunting season and she is very inconsistent, much more so than my older GSP was when he was her age. I primarily hunt grouse and woodcock in the U.P. so I don't expect her to be awesome on grouse at her age but I would like to see some...

A second for Tritronics...haven't let me down yet.

M1Tanker

Very sorry to hear about your loss

M1Tanker

If he might be opened up to look for a blockage, how about trying an ultrasound first?

I was thinking the same thing and I know they have one at the clinic...maybe we will get lucky and the whip treatment will be the remedy.

M1Tanker

are you checking kidney function? Yes...that was checked with the first round of blood tests.

My 5 year old GSP has had some GI issues for about a month and a half now. It started when he would vomit his food back up within an hour or so of eating. This lasted for 4 days and then we took him to the vet. The vet did blood work (Lipase and Amylase) and ran a barium test w/x-rays on the esophog...

My name is Dennis and I am a Grouseoholic. My wife and I moved to the Central U.P. of Michigan so I can be close to the grouse woods.

M1Tanker

I have been running my older GSP with one of those for at least 4 years and it is an awesome piece of equipment for the U.P. grouse woods.

My youger GSP has an allergic reaction to the nylon so she runs without one.
