was lucky enough to see a lone red wolf in cades cove when they first started the re-introduction, it was a neat experience. heard they didn't succeed with the re-introduction there, it only took several years to show that, last i heard the elk were doing good though. t-boy, nature is a cool thing b...

if you don't cross a fence in KS your not hunting

I think there are some things a dog has to learn on it's own and they normally do a good job of it with minor problems at the worse. If the dogs are running towards a fence that is well hidden I will slow them down but that is about the only thing I do and have never had a problem. Ezzy same here, ...

ears look a bit pointed for a wolf.... most likely a coyote

NICE! the most impressive thing in the pic is the single shot. i am planning to take my single 20ga to KS this yr for fun but no way would i take it to the grouse woods, thats just crazy.

recently had one of my dogs get ringworm. the vet said ringworm is a funny character as far as being contagious, some dogs/humans pick it right up and others are virtually immune to it, guess you could compare it to a poison ivy reaction is the sense some get it some don't. anyway it showed up on th...

i usually let my britt get most of them out on her own. get back from an evening hunt, drink a few cold ones as she settles down, feed her, then go grab some dinner as she does most of the work. for the ones that really get in there remember to pull the hair out of the burr, don't try to pull the bu...

i use mine for non dog use in the off season, the antenna comes off so it looks exactly like the rhino gps units, just remember to put it back on. first time out in while this weekend, forgot the antenna and it looses dog contact and about 200yds. as easy to use as any other gps. for the $ you can g...

my female does that exact same thing. she will sit on the top stair with her front legs on the next step down. will try to find a pic....... it is hillarious

IMO convicted felons should not be aloud to participate in professional sports and be role models for our children!! convicted felons or not there are very few professional football players that i would consider as role models. everyone makes mistakes, some of the best role models are those who hav...

while on vacation in DC a couple years ago they had signs in the parking lots of strip malls indicating that the owner of any dogs left unattended in cars will be issued a citiation.

I then try and take it, he snaps at me while keeping it in his mouth. I will say this though, I would never allow one of my dogs to growl or snap at me and get away with it!!!!!!!!!! Oh, he didn't. Don't worry about that. confused :? do not praise him when he is being possesive, you will only make ...

post your experience after the trip, it would be awesome to hear about. i am looking to take a trip up north next season. have a great time, i wish i could do it.

natetnc

my male just started doing the same thing a couple months ago. his dinner time is now sometime between 11pm and 7am, doesn't matter to me as long as its gone.

natetnc

thats awesome! congrats!

e-collar first, run it with a beeper if you want a little piece of mind. garmin is nice, i would suggest it to anyone...... but not over an e-collar, that is if you plan to train with an e-collar, i assume you are since you mentioned it.

dog dr, you are such a stalker, who was your PI on this case

natetnc

knew someone who used it for deer hunting, said the leaves on the ground bugged him so much that he only used it a handful of times. i would think walking through the grass or brush would create enough noise to be irritating.

mine said 6mos on the box, i think at that age, if you have worked with them, they should know the commands you are giving. each dog is different though, i bet you will get as many different answers as post on this one. just make sure your dog knows what you want before you start corrections otherwi...

ringworm possibly? doesn't form the classic ring as in humans but does cause hair loss. ringworm is contagious and you mentioned similar spots on the neighbors dog. guess ringworm is a fungus though so it was covered in a prior post, however it is contagious to humans as well so i would keep contact...

It's better to stop behavior you don't want with sterness than let an old grump of a dog tear her face off. who said anything about letting her around a dog that would tear her face off? a lot of dogs will correct her behavior for you making it 10 times easier for you to correct and 10 times easier...

i bought a pro 100, it was really hard to justify spending the extra $ with all of the other options that are available out there. with that said i am glad i spent the extra $ and would do it again in a second. i like not having to turn a dial when i need to bump up or down the correction, my dogs u...

find a dog that will not allow it and let them handle the situation, she will learn quickly. not an agressive dog, just one that likes their personal space.

Relax bud. Take a downer. It was just my opinion, which the last time I looked I was entitled to. Sounds like you've had a similiar bad experience which makes you testy. PS I didn't post the picture. :roll: PPS FYI Bortadella shots only last 3 months which is why they are only given for boarding pu...

Actually that owner was told by many to take the dog to the vet. When told that, he stopped posting and we never heard about the dog again. Just the facts. The dog in the ad probably ran away to try and save its' own life. There are no excuses to justify a dog looking like that. When there is no fa...

looks like a very nice dog, eyes look full of energy. i think most people who find a nice dog like that in physically bad condition usually end up finding a better home for it or taking it to a distant rescue organization so the same owners don't get their hands on it again. giving the owners the be...

surely he/she will see the logic in it, shouldn't be hard at all. you will probably get a more positive reaction than you expect.

witnessed one of my dogs getting stung by a wasp and she kept going back for more..... looked EXACTLY like that but it only appears to be half the number of times. looked pretty bad at first and thought she might have a reaction so i kept an eye on it for the remainder of the evening, didn't get any...

Sounds like your heart is in the right place just need some hands on experience with somebody that knows what they are doing. To me it sounds like you would really benefit if you could find a pro in your area and ask'em if you could shadow him for a day. excellent advice, you can learn a lot in sev...

i used a big pole net. the best way i found is to sneak up on them and just catch em, no lights or anything. doubt you could get them too many times before they relocated, especially if you are sicking dogs on em.

first thing that caught my attention. looks like the bird doesn't want to fly...... i would buy a launcher to aid in those situations, may help your dog steady up.

my older brit used to throw up almost every meal but would eat it right back up and keep it down the second time. vet could do nothing for us, they checked everything off the list physically so i wasn't too concerned. about a year later i sent her off for training and she hasn't had a problem throwi...

well, thanks for the abundance of replies, guess i will go with the LL Bean boot.

i have seen the DC30 combo going for $460, and spare DC30 collars going for $170, thats the cheapest i have seen, they were not in retail stores so i don't think wholesale prices have anything to do with it. a lot of times people will buy "damage freight" pallets off of shipping trucks that have bee...

Starting my search for a new pair of boots. My current boots are Irish Setters and have been a little dissapointed in them so I am looking to try a different brand. I am looking for a versatile boot that will get the job done in mountain terrain as well as flat land. My Irish Setters didn't stay wat...

Do you add the astro as a third ? can it be combined with the e collar? Or do you take off the regular one? you add the astro as a third. the gps housing and device is heavy enough to move your e-collar receiver around so it wouldn't be in the correct position. i have a smaller dog that wears both ...

i picked up a started dog, about a 1.5yo, and he was the same way, would run nice in the field and get super skiddish when you got him back home. he had problems going through gates, house doors, kennel doors, would cower if you raised your voice at anything. i often move my other brit with my foot ...

for quail and pheasant i would buy the older benelli M1 with the synthetic stock, i think you could find one of those for less than $500. the M1 is light, reliable, durable, and comes with a 26" barrel to swing quickly on the quail.

male dog is now scared of the dark after a few large 4th eve fireworks set off. he is normal during the day but when night comes he will hide out in his kennel or under the deck eventhough he hasn't seen or heard fireworks since. put him and my female (which is fine in the dark) on stakeouts in the ...
