    Teaching Cross-Eye Dominant 7 year old

    I'm left eye, righthanded. So is my wife, son and daughter. Everyone is shooting lefthanded with excellent results. So I vote follow the eyes.

    I Once Lived In A Free Country

    We've allowed a flu virus that will end up killing 30,000 to 40,000 Americans to cost us around $5 trillion, possibly more. In the very recent past we have had flu kill 20,000 to 60,000 and no one said a word. Heck opoids kill 60,000 a year and no one cares. So just curious when the next flu...

    My first Drahthaar

    Finn sounds like a beast. I'm quite happy with my 3.5 year old. My current 4.5 month old is winning his way into my heart. His demeanor is a bit calmer than the older one and his tracking so far is quite good. I will say that the Drahthaar breed in general is the most consistent breed I have...

    Pointer breeds hunting fur

    Good to hear JLS. Bane has a heavy coat and he's 82 pounds. New guy has that same tight GSP type coat and is going to be 60-65 pounds. He may get more work on the warmer days if he can handle it better.

    Pointer breeds hunting fur

    I'd hazard a guess that the average GSP can handle more heat than the average Draht. My draht does not do well when temps hit 60 degrees or higher.

    Pointer breeds hunting fur

    We hunt cattail areas in a few places for pheasants. So the occasional coon will get killed along the way. On rabbits, he'll sometimes point them but you can typically tell when he is working one. If one happens to jump up and I don't call him off he just runs it with glee. That rabbit there he...

    Pointer breeds hunting fur

    This drahthaar is hard on furry things. Pic is at 8 months with first solo coon. I don't encourage it, nor do I deny him a little fun. He'll retrieve anything I shoot. But he does get a little twitterpatted over rabbits lol. If we're in pheasants and I know he is on a bunny, just a quick...

    Wounded game recovery with blood tracking dogs

    Just had my 4 month Draht on his first blood track. I bought a few gallons from a local butcher, used a paint mixer on it to break it down, let it sit, broke it down again, filtered it and then put aspirin in each bottle. Seems to work good. Left a hot dog at the end of the track and took him...

    Colorado Mule Deer Decline?

    I think the CO deer herd is down. I base that on personal observations as well as those from the serious deer hunters I spoke with last year. CWD, predation, poor management. Doom and gloom, whatever, reality is numbers are down. Not a lot different actually from our sheep numbers. Yet they...

    Pressure Canner brand

    I would typically say buy the best, but in this case my Presto has been working with all original parts for over 15 years. Canned a lot of meat and veggies with it. Can't go wrong of course with the American either.

    Who glass beds their rifles?

    I mainly only shoot 700s. Just bedding the lug has often been enough to provide quite good accuracy. They all sit in McMillans though and that may help some too.

    Remington Seven HS SS, do they shoot?

    If a guy beds the lug(about 15 minutes worth of work) on either the 700 or the 7, I have found they shoot quite well.

    Corona virus

    I will agree that there is a lot to be done. It would appear that there will be little cooperation in DC, so I am also not optimistic that a lot will get done. It would be great though if both sides would get together to develop a plan to bring drug production back to the US in a very fast...

    Corona virus

    Stats coming in from South Korea look good. Amazingly overblown situation. https://noqreport.com/2020/03/13/the-death-rate-for-coronavirus-for-people-under-50-is-0-1-or-1-out-of-1000-infections/

    Corona virus

    Be nice if both sides could work together on this one, but that seems too much to ask. It wasn't the Trump admin that outsourced this country's pharm industry. I think a very hard look needs to be made at getting critical drugs produced here again. That would seem to be something that liberals...

    Happy Place Pics: stress and anxiety are toxic

    Pup pic. Little guy is growing fast. We're rolling the dice with our lives and health and meeting other Draht owners for training day on Sunday.
