Be careful around Vizsla's. They have the ability to read your mind and turn you into a virtual marshmallow.

I just made motel reservations for a hunt this fall with some people from a local pointer club. I'll be gone for about 14 days and we'll be hunting in the middle of nowhere and doing a lot of driving on a daily basis. It's also a 2 day drive up and back to get there. How people feed raw during...

I have a 20 gauge A 5 I bought new at an OKC gun shop over 30 years ago. It is a short barreled A5 that I've never hunted with but I've decided to change that and use it this year. I'm sure the new version is lighter but it is a sweet little shotgun in its own right and I'm not getting any younger.

It's been some time but I read a study once by Purina that found that hunting dogs that are fed at least 30% protein have significantly fewer soft tissue injuries than dogs that are fed lower protein diets. Purina also found that dogs fed high fat food with at least 20% fat had more energy and...

I have a GSP that will eat anything, an old Vizsla that always has had a good appetite(but food sensitive) and a male Vizsla that is a pain in the butt. He is not a big eater and will walk away from a bowl full of food if it doesn't suit him. He eats really slowly and isn't food protective at...

I run my male Vizsla in AKC hunt tests. He is one pass away from his SH title.. We're starting back up on training for a hunt test the first week of April and hopefully, he'll get a pass and he'll be done. Not sure what we're going to do going forward.

I am sure there are some guys out there that can effectively hunt pheasant with a .410 but I'm not one of them. When I hunt pheasant, I'm carrying a 12 or 16 gauge. If I am hunting grouse or quail, I'll probably carry 20.

Cabela's of all places. Haven't bought ammo from them in years. Case price is $109.99. They had 10% off yesterday for ccard holders and they rounded up and gave me $11.00 off the case. I had almost a $1 in club points that I used and they offer free shipping over $50.

Based on the recommendations here, I just ordered a case of 20 gauge Winchester AA Super Sport 7/8, 1300 fps, 7.5's. Don't know that I've ever shot them before but I got a case for $98 plus tax and free shipping and that seemed like a decent price for it. I try to stick with #6 or #7.5's in my...

Got some cash from my son, so there won't be an ATM charge and I'll pay him back later. We've been married for 38 years so I have the process down to an art.

I need to buy more ammo for my two 20 gauges. I'm running low and all I have is a few boxes of cheap #6 and #7 1/2 shells from Walmart. My wife is out of town and I'm feeling brave, so I ordered a case of Migra 3" stacked #6/8 shot yesterday that I found on sale. Never shot it before. Going to...

I agree. I spend most of the off season thinking about the next season...I hope that never ends.

I don't bath my dogs a lot either but my Vizsla is big on jumping into cattle ponds on warmer days and my GSP enjoys rolling in animal crap for some unknown reason. Since they like to sleep on the furniture, they get a bath.....as needed.

My GSP and Vizsla got filthy on a muddy day and I used Davis Grubby Dog shampoo and it worked well. It is a professional grade shampoo. Lathers well and smells great. IMO Davis makes some of the best medicated shampoo's for skin conditions you can buy. You can order online from different...

I ordered one of these this morning. I remember looking at these last year and remembered that these are thinner and lighter in weight than the soft-shell I normally wear. Should be great in the early season when I need something over my t shirt in the early morning and can strap it to my vest...

If you live in the mountains of PA, then a beagle is a great choice for a hunting dog. There are a lot more rabbits than birds.

I don't have a setter but I would strongly consider Berg Brothers if I were to buy one. I like their breeding program and philosophy on hunting dogs, pedigrees etc., I think that some of it goes beyond setters and can be applied to other breeds and it had a big influence on me when I picked my...

I figured that but others read these threads or they do a search when they are looking for a pup, so my thoughts are normally more directed at them than him.

What's the benefit? Is is going to improve either breed? Are Golden's known to be better retrievers or hunting dogs than Labs? Not hardly. Not even close. People buy Goladors from puppy mills for their color. Like picking a favorite football team because you like their helmet.

Buy what you want but understand that reputable breeders don't cross breed dogs. Amish puppy mills do. Unfortunately, it's a profitable business. Great place to get a pup with worms, congenital defects and mental health issues too. Not something quality breeders aspire too. They are also known...
