    NR Upland Seasons (LC3901)

    If you read my post, I said for the most part. I do use public land also. Earlier law changes put limits on when training on public land could occur. I don't have a big problem with the start date, but the ending date is unnecessarily early. So, I don't train in the spring on public land, as...

    Winter Indoor Training

    It is too icy at our place to train outdoors. So I train 1-year old pup inside in our carpeted living room. We run hunt tests and field trials in the summer, so train for these events: 1) Multiple marking mechanics where I teach pup to return with perfect spinal alignment in relation to my foot...

    Getting Ready For Hunting Season

    There are goldens in our training group that retrieve domestic mallards all summer long. There are retriever clubs in Billings, Helena, Missoula, and Ronan if your close to any of those areas?

    NR Upland Seasons (LC3901)

    I'm similar to you hunting multiple states for birds every year. I just don't like NR camping in states and pounding the piss out of everything. I would like to see a 7 day upland license ONLY in MT, personally, on top of the other limits in this bill.

    NR Upland Seasons (LC3901)

    I don’t think NR are villains but I live in a destination bird hunting area and the NR pressure has gotten so bad that I don’t even hunt birds around here unless I get an invite from my friend with private access. Maybe I’m just not serious enough but getting to the public spots well before...

    Gallatin Canyon Wall Tent Homicide

    I don’t play with dogs. One guy got lucky one day his turned around it was about 2 steps from me shooting it. Another one changed it’s mind really quick when my boot made contact with it face

    Quail in Montana….

    I'm sure they'll make their way east. I'd assume many of them come from released birds for dog training that survive. I bump into Bobwhite's fairly often that this is the case for at least.

    All in a day's work

    So I took my 11 year old son this morning to do some dog training with me. His job was to throw birds/bumpers for our black lab retriever in training. So he can't resist and decides to just go ahead and get in the mud puddle. Made him get in bed of truck for ride home. I dropped him off at home...

    New Pup

    Banks is doing great. He's a great retriever, brings birds to the hand. His pointing is coming along, still some work to do if you're into style, but he has zero issues finding birds and holding. He has no concerns with gun fire, he's way more interested in the birds than the shots. As of this...

    Young Bird Dog (hopefully)

    Dogs can be pets and hunters. It really helps if you can be its person, tho. First nine months I just let them be puppies and learn all the basics at an easy pace. The only thing critical is don't scare them. You stand a chance of making a dog, that would not have been, gun shy if you catch it...

    Quail in Montana….

    They end up out here in good numbers and I’ll end up with a bird dog for sure. Probably a cocker spaniel.

    New Pup

    Well after much deliberation, I decided I needed to add more on my plate and buy a bird dog pup. Between the grouse and pheasant here in Wyo, being super close to Nebraska and within reasonable drive time to SD and KS, I went for it. Need to learn how to chase geese now. We ended up with a...

    Young Bird Dog (hopefully)

    Great looking pup! I had very similar scenario 3 years ago...pup opportunity fell out of the sky in April and I picked up our lab after a 10hr round trip drive on zero notice. My first gun dog, 90% family dog, unexpectedly training her myself, etc. etc. We trained and she hunted the first...

    Can a dog be trained to smell?

    My wife’s dog has learned to use her nose. I started with go find where we hide the treat and she has to sniff it out. I have also had her on blood trails. She is not in the gifted and talented class but with focus and training I could get her to find Timmy in the well.

    Best upland gun dog breed?

    I got a dog from Silver Buckle Kennel in Kalispell. He's perfect around the house and almost perfect in the field. I did exactly zero training. He is kinda ugly and my kids don't like that he's not soft to pet.

    Side note, I picked up Rick and Ronnie Smith's training series on DVD when we got our first bird dog (shorthair) it helped a ton. Dave is also pretty good about posting research data on his FB page.

    New Pup

    I'll have to pick those up as well. Thank you. I have a few acres of pasture ground that I do nothing with, so I'll plant it into CRP strips and use it as training. Hopefully I can make the training simple, quick, and fun for him out the back door. Any tips on how to make the gun shots fun...

    Recommendations for ND/MN/MT Gundog Trainer

    Over the Top Retrievers in Monticello MN did a great job with my dog. Scott has a nice set up. I think he might be down in TX training right now but believe he starts back up here in April. Shoot me a PM if you have any specific questions.
