That male is still available huh?

Not sure if any of you watched the show, but I tuned in for the Sporting Group. I was expecting dogs to look nothing like their working cousins, and for the most part I was right. The pointer looked very houndish in the face to me, all the spaniels were just ridiculous (could be the hair, IDK), the ...

If you are going to get serious, you need to get a rod/reel combo from Thorne Bros. There is the quiver stick and the power noodle coupled with a Okuma fly fishing rod. That is what the hubby uses and so far with the sensitivity he claims he is out fishing his partners 4-1. You come all the way up ...

Have you tried a leave it command? That's what I've done with squirrels.

The 500 has 18 continuous and 18 momentary levels. It is easy to use. I recently purchased one. I had a sport series but lately, with gloves on, I've been wondering why my dog won't make any change when I'm wanting to hit the buttons. I don't think I was reaching the buttons with gloves on. Assumin...

So one guy writes a book and another sells his story to Esquire. One is successful and the other is sticking his hand out claiming he's owed something. Which story is real? bottom line is nobody will ever know unless the Pentagon releases the names and that's not gonna happen. I actually like discu...

Straight up; the best e-collar on the market is the Tri Tronics Pro 500 G3. Second place is well behind. But you must decide what you need for your purposes. If you want the best, that's it. http://t3.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTRJosY1ThMzGFeGsoPUdGpLKQ2GTIPNs1iqMZDmVVTT6UeSxCQ:ecx.images-amazo...

Your summer reel will be just fine and don't spend to much money on a rods unless your pan fishing its not that big of deal. What you are going to want to have is two rods since you can fish with two in MN, you will be jigging with one rod while your second rod will have a slip bobber on it. Do not...

Looking for a collar myself. The Dogtra 2500 T/B looks real nice but I do not know if I will like the beeper for grouse hunting and that is what I will be doing mostly. I'd like my brittany to work close in the thick stuff of north Minnesota. Anyone have thoughts on this? I could cut the cost by lo...

You catching big walleye with a light rig?

I was going to go but I opted to go up north ice fishing. Pretty good trade I think

Have fun.

No, it's 2 different guys claiming the same thing. One Has detailed it in a book and another proclaimed it in Esquire. One has detailed information and uses the proper terminology and the other was written by a smutt mag while telling stories getting drunk.. This article is a hoax. "Matt" isn't ask...

I'm just waiting for more proof then Esquire Magazine and discussing my opinion on the subject. It takes more than "SEAL 1" was busy tackling two old ladies and didn't see it but yeah SEAL2 did the shooting." let's hear from SEAL 3 who would have been right behind him and seen everything. Also, an ...

So rather then trying debunk and belittle other members of a forum, share what you know and not just what you've read on the Internet. How about the article itself who can't verify any other than his claims? Esquire? If this guy could prove his story he would go to Time or the talk show circuit and...

Cool. Thanks for the advice. I'm headed up to Vermilion this weekend so the potential for a hog is good, but mostly 16 - 19" fish I bet.

What do you think about this set up?

Would you go with a 24" or 28" rod?

I didn't know that. So his kidneys were failing? Couldn't he have gotten a transplant? Do you believe he was already dead?

Hey, I'm an inexperienced ice fisherman but me and my buddies are getting more and more into it and it's time to upgrade my stick. Currently I'm using an old stiff rod with my normal walleye reel I use in the summer. I've looked at St. Croix med/light rod combos for walleye and pan fish. Would I be ...

Everyone should read this article. It is an amazing inside look into how things went down that night, but more importantly it shows the frustrations of civilian life our soldiers face once they return home.

Chris's services will be held Monday at Cowboy Stadium in Arlington. It will be interesting to see how many show up. I just read a news report that the dastardly Westborro Church group plan to protest, I hope it is at a distance, nothing good can come from a confrontation. And I don't think those a...

I've never owned a Pitt, nor have I ever met an aggressive one (I've met about 15 - 20.) My uncle, however, was attacked by one a couple years back and I read an article about a mail man (ex military, built like a brick sh!t house kinda guy) that was almost killed by two on his route. So, the way I ...

Just make sure the pup has worn the collar for long enough that he wont associate the stim with the collar being on. Don't want to be dependent upon the collar in order to get your dog to listen to you.

Feed shelled corn with grit. ( told to me by a pigeon expert. :) ) Basic plan that works for me ( I live in the city.) : I keep a large dog crate in the garage. Buy 6-8 pigeons a week during heavy pup training period. Use them up every week as they won't fly well if kept longer. Clean up takes 10 m...

It may be nagging the dog but it definitely teaches the dog. It's the exact same philosophy as FF. The pressure only comes off once the task is completed. Like FF, eventually the stim is only used as a reminder.

DogNewbie

I think the pup is ready for the ecollar. Make sure he's worn it with no stim being used for a month or two and it should go smoothly. I like to use low level continuous stimulation to set the standard that the pup turns off the stim by obeying the command. So for recall, I'd start in your backyard...

If she wants to get into training service dogs, the hunting breeds are great for diabetic alert dogs, or so I've read.

one of the worst mistakes: Letting the puppy run around everywhere, and then freaking out when he pees on your living room rug. I don't allow a pup to leave the kitchen the first few weeks unless he’s directly on his way outside. I liked the tie him to your belt method while he's indoors. Teaches h...

I don't know about the first week but not letting a pup be a pup is the biggest mistake I see. +1, however, to add to this, a pup can still be a pup without playing tug o war, or being allowed to jump up on people and counters. These sort of things may be cute now, but in three months it's going to...

Help me be smart with trash breaking. Dog is new to the collar. She's conditioned to wear it and I've just started this past week overlaying it on the checkcord. My thought is that trashbreaking her right now is stupid but the darn animal just put a hole in the drywall to get to the cat poop. :evil...

Simply by praying before class? Or would God be more involved in school? Aren't morals being taught in other ways such as the golden rule, which I would argue is essentially the equivalent to Christian teachings but without God.

You know you are right but there are way too many things we have learned about the stories of creation that are now being backed up as fact. Plus in my mind the two pretty much agree and help explain the other. So I think you better back off of the complete separation of the two and open your mind....

I believe creationism is a scientic theory, it has just been rejected by the Libs. Are you unclear on the meaning of "theory" ? I can and do accept many of the theories of evolution and still believe in a Creator. Creationism is not science. It's a belief. It's based on faith, not factual evidence....

You do know that evolution is a theory, right? Way should we not teach creationisom? Not sure what that has to do with gun rights.
