    everyone think about dog trainers for a minute, their job is put dogs on birds. point , hold and retreive them, the guy with 57 dogs. how many birds does he shoot, but, how many covies does he wipeout completely, they have the time to cover every accesible piece of land, mark every covey of huns...

    North to ND/An Ode to Ruark

    I leave tomorrow for a week long trip to ND to chase sharptails and ducks with some really good friends. I’ve been looking forward to this trip since I was in ND last September chasing sharpies. But first I need to cover some sad business. After many years of wanting, I brought my first bird...

    Training Resource- Lab for Upland hunting?

    Agreed- there's a lot of training material on YT. Seems there's a thousand ways to skin this cat, and I need to figure out the best commands for myself and my future wife, as well as her corgi that occasionally listens. I'd prefer a softer approach, given the side effects I've seen of botched...

    My puppy training continues. I noticed Friday that Dot’s pads were torn. She was hiding the injury. I dug around my dog box and found boots for her. I can’t hunt next weekend. She needed the field experience. I decided to hunt a C tier area instead of driving to my better areas. In...

    Dog photos: 3 easy objectives

    Red Dog needs to work on retrieving and I need to work on my photography, but she did point her first bird with pretty much zero training.

    It is. It's just something I built out of scrap wood I had in the barn. I use it for steadiness, whoa, and other training. I picked up a few wood spoons from electric company in town and use those with the ladder. Turn those on its side and the ladder can serve as a teeter totter as he...

    No, he’s just my hunting buddy. I dream of training one though. Leo just wants to sit with me.

    Newb wants to get into sporting dogs.

    Are you referring to sharpness on fur? They are, and per breed standards it’s expected. That said, I haven’t seen a huge difference between the German dogs and GSP/GWP and even some Brittanies. I’ve judged a fair number of dogs and it’s entirely reasonable for a first time dog handler to have...

    Training Resource- Lab for Upland hunting?

    ditto what these guys have already said^ about 1.5 yrs back the wife had to get dogs again so I made her at least get dogs that can hunt, I'm learning as much as they are on dog temperament and training, what works and what doesn't. books, youtube videos, and advice from other hunters. my...

    Pheasant Hunt Dog Handler Etiquette

    If you already have 2 dogs I wouldn’t hire the dogs. I would also talk to the two people bringing dogs and make sure they are ok hunting together. Just easier to know expectations ahead. If someone is training a pointer you don’t want the lab busting in to flush without command. I remember...

    Dog boots

    So, I run my dogs every day all year. I'm going to try roading them on a gravel roads next summer. Hopefully that will improve their foot endurance. Are you able to hunt without boots at all?

    New Pup

    I started e-collar training at about 6.5 months but only used vibrate. I really worked on retrieving training, whoa training, and recall before I even thought about the e-collar. When those fundamentals were set, then I started with place training and heeling. At 5 months, Penny, our Griff...

    Today’s plan was to ice fish. Change of plan at 5:45 as a son’s gf was slightly sick. Son and I decide to Chukar hunt. It was brutal. Teens, wind frozen ground to climb, etc. I won’t say I was enjoying the experience. Standing at the truck Cady, my rockstar setter, points a few hundred...

    Thats really interesting about the falcon tagging along...did it ever show interest in the flushing birds? I assume a falcon needs to be airborne and strike from above to get up to speed, or are they able to hunt from a low perch? Ever experienced anything like that before?

    Can anyone school me on blue grouse and chukar?

    Awesome photos. That's super helpful. I guess my reasoning for hunting the chukars early is thinking that snakes might be less active early in the morning. I have no idea if that's a good idea or not. My dog has not had snake training, and although his "leave it" command is pretty damn...

    Pheasant Hunt Dog Handler Etiquette

    I was just going to mention DON'T let the cost of birds override all else, especially what the dog handlers ask but most importantly, SAFETY for dogs and people. Agree on a word that will be used to halt all shooting. Most places I've helped simply use the shouted word SAFE. I'm glad you...
