    Oak ridge kennel

    They don't have a bad reputation, but also aren't known for being that good either. Tom was an ok trainer but is a marketing guy.... Your pup will be trained by an employee with the best dogs going to the most senior trainer not necessarily the best trainer. Usually the good trainers move on...

    Bloody Testicles

    I'm not saying to neuter or not. But I hope you don't think what a shelter does is solid advice for a responsible pet owner....

    Bloody Testicles

    I don't understand, are you sayin that all vets would recommend a dog should not be hunted due to the risk of bloody testicles? I am pretty sure any dog with testicles is at risk of them getting bloodied.

    Results after boots on the ground

    I was near Iroquois last Friday through Monday. Friday was a crazy day, walked out of the hotel and it was gorgeous, by early afternoon it was close to the worst conditions I've hunted! I doubt there was over an inch of snow but the wind was crazy. We ended up with a pretty good bunch of...

    Canada Gamebird Ban

    We had to donate all these birds to the first nation because our government couldn't make a smart decision in a timely fashion. While they didn't go to waste I still felt wrong about not using what I harvested. Awesome trip though. It is possible that a double banded 19 year old Ross somehow...

    I don't want to be mean but you pretty much did everything wrong. First off I don't hunt dogs that young as there are way to many opportunities for things to go wrong and you will own these issues for years to come if not forever. Can you learn to swim if you get thrown in the lake? Sure, but...

    My dog doesn't seem to be catching on????

    If this was a flusher I would teach trailing by plucking some feathers than dragging a wet duck (pheasants don't hold up to well) through some short grass. (Initially I would do it next to a fence or something to limit dogs lateral movement somewhat). Then put the dog in a down at the pile of...

    Bumper Color

    As a general rule white or white/black is used for marking and orange for blinds. Dogs are not color blind but see colors very muted so white shows up the best for marks, and conversely orange, yellow etc. are harder to see so you use them on blinds wear the dog shouldn't depend on scent or...

    Keeping your dog healthy during the season

    I used to do the same, but the unusual noises of a hotel tend to interrupt my guys sleep. Especially around bar close opening weekend!

    Keeping your dog healthy during the season

    Sounds like you better take that Derby dog south this winter and chase some points! I train 2-4 days a week year around. Maybe less during October, November and I have zero issues with conditioning. The only thing I do different when hunting is my dog remains in a crate at night. I think...

    Canada Gamebird Ban

    The government is an embarrassment Some of us the went to Saskatchewan on 9/10 and didn't bother to bring a bird hitch or big coolers. We donated our birds to the first nation so they didn't go to waste.

    Canada Gamebird Ban

    Processed means it must be processed by a "licensed" and "approved" game processor and labeled "wild game not for resale". Or at least this is USDA's position a day ago. Tomorrow who knows??? A wing and breast plate frozen is a carcass..

    Canada Gamebird Ban

    I have been on the phone multiple times over the last week with the USDA, USFWS, and border patrol agents (Pembina) because I am heading to northern Saskatchewan 09/09/2022 This is where I learned about transmission of the disease and why the last minute "under the cloak of darkness" policy...

    Canada Gamebird Ban

    My understanding is bird flu is transferred through feces. When I process a bird the feces don't go in the freezer. Logic had little to do with the decision. Government inefficiency and infighting did, why else would the release this gem at 6:30 pm on a Friday going into a holiday weekend?
