For those that are interested, I've decided to experiment a bit and buy some quality shampoo and conditioner products for my hunting dogs. I don't bath my dogs very often but I've noticed my young Vizsla's coat is a bit dry and not as shiny compared to some other Vizsla's I've seen at a pointer...

I found this science based article that provides a lot of information on dog nutrition. First article I have found that provides more detailed information on benefits and purpose of specific vitamins and minerals, as well as signs of deficiencies. I thought it was interesting and attached a link...

I switched to a Garmin 550+ this year and bought a protective holster from Gun Dog Supply for the controller. I hang mine upside down from a lanyard by my left vest pocket. It is made of Cordova nylon, fits the controller really well, holds tight and the brass snap is pretty stout. I put some...

As the hunting season is winding down, I like to revisit my equipment choices and replace or upgrade where needed while everything is still fresh on my mind. Now that I am retired, I am traveling and hunting with the dogs more and staying longer and I am considering upgrading to a SS and...

I almost always take 3 pairs of boots on out of state hunting trips. My primary leather boots, my back ups that are warmer and waterproof and a pair of ankle high slip on that are easy to get on and off for dog walking and also water proof. The downside is having multiple pairs of loose boots...

Wet and dreary day so I decided to work on my equipment, since I got nothing better to do. Wash hunting clothes, charging up my dog's collars and decided my boots needed some attention before my next trip. I bought some Obenauf's recently and used it for the first time. Did a nice job on my...

I've decided to change my dog food for this season. I've been feeding PPP Salmon & Rice 30/20 which is now up to almost $70 a bag for 33 lbs. I like to buy several months worth of dog food before the season starts, so I don't have to mess with it during the season and over the winter but I...

After 10 years, I decided to trade in my old Garmin 320 and bought a new Garmin 550+ w/2 TT25 collars. The Garmin collars came with the short prongs installed. Two quick questions....do most people use the short or the long prongs on your e-collars and does anyone put dialytic grease on the...

My old Astro and gps collars are over 10 years old and I have a young Vizsla and a GSP that like to run. I have decided to get a new GPS collar/system. I also have a 550 e collar which is relatively new and dogs wear 2 collars when we hunt. Going through my options last night I came up with the...

I have an old Vizsla that has had stomach issues for years. Thinking it was food related, we changed dog food frequently withheld or bought limited ingredient treats etc., Got so bad we started giving her Pepto daily at one point to help her. By pure luck, I started to filter her drinking water...

I am going through my gear and equipment and want to buy another case or two of ammo before the fall. I saw some Rio Royal Pheasant 12 and 20 gauge ammo at a local store but I've never used it. I normally hunt with Winchester or Federal but thought I would see if people have hunted with the Rio...

My oldest son got married last year and moved to the DC area and bought a home in Northern VA. Has anyone hunted at any of the Virginia game preserves they can recommend? I pulled up a list of registered preserves off the state website but the list is large and I thought I would see if I could...

I am going to try some new areas around Aberdeen this year and I always like to have Vet information in my truck, in case of an emergency. Can anyone recommend a good vet in that area that has 24 hour emergency service? Thanks.

As an fyi, I bought the Plainsman leather gloves from Sam's Club recently. The dark brown version they sell. 2 pair for $20. I put Montana Pitch Blend leather oil/conditioner on them 2 weeks ago and let it soak in and dry. Put the Montana Pitch Blend boot wax on last night. Almost completely...
