    Horse owners

    Seen a lot of "horse people" who dont own ranches and such. I dont at all mean to sound condescending - but owning a horse is much harder than a dog. Its much harder to train - and typically the people training/riding also need plenty of training. The people who enjoy it typically own a...

    Training Resource- Lab for Upland hunting?

    To help puppy get use to the sounds of gun shots I take her to my local shooting range. Hold her in my arms and speak softly to her while allowing to listen to firearm reports. Not close early on. I stay back many yards, in the truck, letting her get use to the shot noises. A few trips to the...

    Tariffs and Potential Inflation

    Idiot used 3D printed gun - that explains 2 jams in 3/4 shots. Turns out a fan of the unabomber as a fellow revolutionary. A moron in my book.

    Tariffs and Potential Inflation

    No doubt shooter had training (see him calmly clear a jam), but our security guys say unlikely a true pro hit as a pro would not have done it in such a public place - a pro hit would have got him walking his dog or something. Would be shocked if related to a trading window mess - those happen...

    Pheasant Hunt Dog Handler Etiquette

    I wouldn't bother with the ranch dog. Between the pointer and lab in training you'll be fine hunting planted birds. I've taken clients to a few of those clubs and eventually end having to carry a pocket full of rocks to throw at the birds. Even when the dogs get on them, some of those birds are...

    New Pup

    Oh, one more thing...if/when you decide to use live birds for training, whether you plant birds or use launchers, it has been my experience that quail, although cheaper, are not great fliers which increases the chances your dog will catch the bird which will then in turn hinder steadiness and...

    New Pup

    I've read a few articles that pigeons are a good training bird. I'll take a look and see if any are available around here. I found some Chukar. The thing I'm really trying to nail down is fair expectations on timelines. When he should be doing this or that. Called the the guy I'm going to take...

    NR Upland Seasons (LC3901)

    I am a horseback pointing field trialer. I have never had a large string of dogs. The overwhelming percentage of horseback trialers hunt little, if at all. The birds are worth more to them for training, than hunting. There was a time, when I was much younger, when I'd kill a hundred birds a...

    Tips for Adding New (second) Pup to Home?

    Wife and kids talked me into adding a second dog to our house. Already have a well-behaved 3yr old female lab that's great. Hot tips or best practices for introducing a new puppy to the fold? Don't want to upset the apple cart. Wish JLS was still around...dude was a veritable treasure...

    Training Resource- Lab for Upland hunting?

    Yep, that was my plan. I just can’t make sense of that first sentence in the post I quoted. That was the only question I had- just not sure what you meant by the citizenship thing.

    Training Resource- Lab for Upland hunting?

    Time for a quick update, now that Ellie has passed 12 weeks old, and we've had her just over 3 weeks. Still a few weeks away from her last round of rabies/parvo shots, and the vet suggested I not take her on walks where other dogs frequent until then. Not ideal, but I'd rather be safe than...

    Kinda live Mississippi deer tracking thread

    A guy I know that trained scent dogs for MS Highway Patrol gave me so advice, and it makes a ton of sense. When you're training a dog make the training a game that your dog can always win. Do scent drags with deer feet and blood. Don't get too complicated with it until you have confidence that...

    Dog First Aid Kits

    I love these threads. There is always something listed that I hadn’t thought about. Very helpful! Montana K9 Safety puts on trap release clinics and first aid classes around the state if anyone in MT is looking for some training. Ended up building my kit as I like to do things the hard way! It...

    NR Upland Seasons (LC3901)

    Great discussion. Appreciate the different perspectives. I’ve always said it’s a really good thing birds don’t have antlers. Bird hunters are so cordial. Not that I don’t kill antlered stuff! I’m not a dog trainer, but I do run 7 dogs. I just like hunting dogs. I started going to MT from KS...

    Gallatin Canyon Wall Tent Homicide

    Crazy world, so sad. About a month ago my wife and I went to a retired football field with my black lab for training. I left my wife and dog in the truck while I set up some bumpers for retrieving drills. I was about 150 yards from my truck when a man across the road about 150 yards the other...

    NR Upland Seasons (LC3901)

    A lot of us don’t view nr as evil. The bill from what I had heard was in response to a couple people ruining it. Such is life.

    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?
