    Off season for the dogs

    Sometimes the mountain is still a training day! But eventually we stopped taking turns screwing things up and got our jobs done

    Off season for the dogs

    Good flyers in the launcher but be ready to keep the dog under control (or get in control quick) as typically pen raised quail don't have much strength to them. I have used them in a bird bag to throw bonus/surprise birds

    Choosing a Dog

    Yeah, as a retriever. But the poodle is not really an upland dog.

    Choosing a Dog

    This is an important thing to really dig into if hypoallergenic is the reason somebody is wanting a pudelpointer--and then, they need to accept that it isn't going to be any sort of guaranteed result. First, "hypoallergenic" does not mean "will not cause allergic reactions" but really means...

    Off season for the dogs

    Yes I've done lots of this over the years. I keep pretty plugged into when the hens start sitting on the nests and when the chicks are old enough to fly; that can vary significantly by species and location. For me that means I can train on ptarmigan through the end of May, and pick it back up...

    Off season for the dogs

    We're getting pretty sick and tired of this OFFul season nonsense. Thankfully we've only got another 11 days to suffer through until we don't just walk away after finding them.

    7-08 Alberta moose

    There is zero need to be shooting moose at +300 yards. Hands down they are the easiest big game in North America to get close to.

    Hunting Big Game with Man’s Best Friend

    Check out Don Abney's book "Canine Tracking Guide, Training the All Purpose Tracker" It breaks down the science of tracking and lays out a nice program/method to follow to build up a dog's tracking skills. One thing that it helped me understand is that not every dog tracks with it's nose to...

    Wildlife reintroduction - why only predators?

    The problem with sheep is finding suitable habitat that has no likelihood of contact with domestic sheep or goats. No point dumping $$$$ and bighorns somewhere that they will just end up infected with m. ovi from domestics and die from pneumonia. There are bison reintroductions happening. Utah...

    When to add a second dog?

    Cooper is a beast, for sure. He's even more imposing now that he's mature and fully muscled. Add in his coat, and yeah, I'd believe it if dna testing revealed an ice age great grandparent snuck onto his pedigree

    When to add a second dog?

    Ha, plus sized as in over the 40-60lbs 'standard' as it is loosely acknowledged by the various PP groups. I've seen 2 males over 90lbs and solid muscle at that. The one, we babysat for a week when he was just over a year old, still growing, and in the mid 80s. Fella is over 30" tall at the...
