Dog tracking system

Dog tracking system
What tracking collar/system do you guys use? Pros and cons? I’ve got the old Astro system and it may be time to replace it with a new pup on the way.- homestead

Young Bird Dog (hopefully)
I agree with everything stated so far. In my personal experience, with two shorthairs, my dogs looked to me for leadership/guidance. That's because I am consistent with that leadership and guidance. My wife and two boys, not so much. So yes, you'll end up with a great dog both in the field...- homestead

Silence
This can’t be stressed enough. Far too many people talk way too much at their dog, creating background noise. Dogs will learn to tune you out when you’re always talking.- homestead

I have used the 2.75" twenty gauge shells as well as 3" mags. Good results from both on ducks and geese. Keep in mind that this is small farm pond hunting.- homestead

measuring rimfire ammo
I was looking at the rimfire gauge sold by Neil Jones custom products while buying some other items. Why not measure the overall length of the cartridge as opposed to using this tool? Also, as someone who has no knowledge of reloading, is rim thickness something you'd measure in centerfire...- homestead

Responsible Breeding
Not trying to derail this discussion, but in terms of responsible breeding, what qualities do you look for in a prospective female? My dad and I have discussed the possibility of maybe breeding his female someday. Admittedly, neither one of us has any experience breeding dogs. We’re also not...- homestead

I like army surplus wool gloves. They’re ambidextrous, fitting either hand. Those and regular leather gloves.- homestead

Dog Breeders
Krystal Creek Kennels in Wisconsin. I got my six year old gsp from them and he's been a great dog, despite my lack of training knowledge when I got him. The Harmyer family was great to deal with. Mountains Fury in New York. My two year old is from them, and he's shaping up to be very...- homestead

What Ya Changing Up This Year
My dad and I are headed to Colorado for muzzy bulls on our own. Our two prior trips were with a couple guys who'd hunted the state several times before. This time it's just us.
