I'm building a 300 that I'm looking to setup for long range. 1000 and beyond. Some hunting but mostly gonging steel. I chose the 300 because I can afford to shoot it and has a wide selection of factory match grade ammo. (Currently I don't reload). The 338 Lapua for me is too pricey to shoot at...
Announcing long anticipated breeding between “Wheels”, Fen’s Hot Wheels MH and “Ada”, Wetland’s WIndsome Lady MH.
I trained both of them to AKC Master level. Both have Qualified for 2017 Master National. “Wheels" is Qualified All-Age (QAA) in the field trial game. I have hunted with both in...
Great hunting Friday and Saturday.
30 ducks. 5 geese. One green wing teal, one blue wing teal, 2 spoonies, one pin tail, 3 widgeon, rest were mallards.
I'm looking to see how much interest there would be in a retriever training class that would span through out the winter.
The goal would be to help those wanting to advance their dogs skills and to teach owners handling abilities along the way. This would be for those building up a started...
For those of us on this forum that knew Howard. I have the displeasure of letting you know that he has passed. The retriever community has a huge void now. He was a spokesperson of retriever field trials and hunt test. He gave his all in training and at the events. He has helped countless...
Currently have a four year old yellow male. He has been trained by me. He has 3 AKC Senior passes and a Hunting Retriever title in HRC. He belonged to a client of mine. The owner has come up against some hard times and not able to keep him.
He is tall and active. Best with someone active...
Ok, longer days and more sunlight are upon us. For me it means the first retriever events aren't far away. Those that work with me have been training throughout the winter and are waiting to do tune ups in the water. Retriever training is a lot of fun. For the dog as well as the handler no...
I'm back in state and I get notified by shelter personnel that there is a 5 yr old Setter that has been there a while. The owner told them the dog is registered and has some hunting experience. Owner is willing to transfer papers. Dog is already neutered. Shelter fee will be $79. Call the...
Sorry. I know its not dog training specific but I didn't find a forum chapter that this would fit under. But this is sorta related.
For the last several years I have been "going out" for winter training. This year is no different but I have a much larger crew of dogs going. So I will be...
I have a Drahthaar Puppy Manual. 4th Edition by Smith and Bohs. Covers puppyhood, German breeding and testing systems. Don't know how I came about having it. Believe it belonged to a client from years ago. Had to knock the dust off of it.
Anybody want it?
The other thread had me remember about the National Duck Dog Challenge.
I recently purchased some of those skeet holding bumpers just to try them out. In my training I set up scenarios like this already but it would be fun to throw in your shooting skill. Take a look and lets talk about it...
Just got back from a hunt over there.
Lots of thin ice over all the ponds. Only the larger ponds had open water in the center. When I flew in I noticed majority of the birds were on the tidal shore by the hundreds. With todays forecast the winds were going to blow out of the Turnagain up to...
