Not at all. I was just having a bit of fun with someone who hasn't responded to my reply yet. Some of those private land ditch birds are so tame, people use very flushy flushers just to get them to fly in a sporting way. :unsure: :sneaky::ROFLMAO: You framed it very well. Highly pressured...

I had that happen the last week of SD season, on the edge of a slough that had bog features of humps and hollows, a foot or so apart, and about a foot from the bottom of the hollow to the top of the humps (for those who haven't encountered these), which were now frozen solid. Darn rooster got...

Are these being launched out of an explosive device? 😂

I performed a highly scientific test today. It was about 10 degrees at our house. I put the Lucky Dog brand dummy outside for an hour or two. I then tossed it up in the air about 30 feet and let it fall on some frozen ice we have on the gravel driveway. I did this 20 times. It landed on...

What's its tally of eyes shot out?

Not sure if I can fraternize with non-Gucci dog bumper owners. I was just wondering if they might have reused some other brand and put their name on it. It is 20s here now. But tomorrow it will be mid-teens, and Friday morning, single digits. I'll test out the Lucky Dog dummy and see how it...

I agree. It is easier to adjust, and see the results of your changes, on a bunch of consistent clay pigeons than on variable and infrequent wild bird flushes. I think it is easier to hit clay pigeons, on average, than wild pheasants though. They are smaller and start faster, but quickly...

Is that molded into them or printed on top of them?

Well then, I might need to do the test, for the greater good. :unsure: :sneaky: 😂

The type of camera used makes things look much farther away than they really are. I am guessing most of the birds, if not all, were less than 20 yards away when shot at. @walk213 would know best though. Not that it matters regarding how close the dogs are working, but I'm pretty sure those...

Just make sure your vest pouch is luck proof. Problem solved.

If I remember right, the reason I got black and white was because it is easier for dogs to see the contrast, whereas orange wouldn't provide that. However, a quick google shows that D.T. Systems has black and white versions too. I wonder how the raised angled lines work vs the bumps for...

It is about 6 degrees at our house right now. I was going to put it outside for a while and throw it up for a test. But if @That1uncle1776 verifies his says Lucky Dog, I will forego the test! LOL

Pretty sure that is where I got mine. Mine say "Lucky Dog" up by the valve, where the rope attaches.

I guess that is cold enough for whatever plastic it is made out of. That's unfortunate. Looks just like the ones I have, with the bumps to promote a soft mouth.

1 year for permit to purchase, 5 years for permit to carry (which doubles as a permit to purchase, as gim said). Here are the details on the guns that require the permit to purchase...

What was the outside temperature?

I'm less of a purist when it comes to my pointer regarding me not always walking up and flushing them. Nothing wrong with purists either. That's just not how I do it. But to answer your question, the pointers try to stay far enough away from the birds to reduce wild flushes out of range of...
