Thanks everyone for the advice - it was exactly what I needed. Happy hunting.

Thank you. He is trained to return on three beeps of the whistle. I guess my use of the tone/vibrate would be more of a "you're ranging too far out; time to check in and wait up." Almost more of a warning that, if he continues to range out, I'll have to apply pressure.

Does anyone have any recommendations and/or advice on how to train my lab to recall when I ping or vibrate his collar? The only articles and videos I can find on this topic use a vocal command, but I don't want to be yelling his name in the field. For what it's worth, he is great at recalling...

Dang 12 seems like a lot for that part! Just got my eastern grouse permit today and am headed out tomorrow for my first grouse hunt. Would be thrilled to see one!

It looks like there are a handful of offerings in my area, so now I just need to get signed up. Thanks everyone for the recommendations!

Hi Guys - I got the call this weekend that our black lab puppy was born! This will be my first dog, and I would like to do the obedience training myself before I send the dog to a trainer for the hunt training. Does anyone have any recommendations for obedience training materials? I searched...

I have a Tenzing TZ BVB16 vest and would not recommend it. No place for water bottle (does have space for camelbak, but see note below), small game pouch that is hard to access at times, and horrible customer service. If you shed a layer and put it in the designated zippered pocket, or if you...

Thank you both, this is very helpful!

I was looking at getting some for pheasant hunting but wasn't sure which size to use with my 12 gauge. I was thinking 5, but I have no experience with non-toxic shot other than steel. You'll have to let us know how they do!

Thanks for the reply and recommendation. I too thought it was odd they didn't include the standard health and pedigree information. Loved how their dogs looked, but I'm hoping to find one with the looks and a better pedigree.

Has anyone worked with this breeder or know anything about them? I am in the market for a lab nearby, and have been looking at them.

I am selling my Franchi Affinity that I bought in 2015. I still have the box and factory chokes. The gun has four years left on the manufacturer warranty. No issues and has shot great. $650 cash only and Buyer will need to fill out a gun bill of sale to complete transaction. Comment or PM if you...

Just thought I would start a thread to see how people are doing. It has been slow thus far this year, but I am hoping with this upcoming cold spell that maybe things will get better. I have seen quite a few quail on my outings which is always fun getting into. Pheasants have been hit or miss. I...

I am currently in the market to buy my first dog, and have a question regarding breeding. I am sure there are varying opinions on breeding, but I have read online and heard from some people that I should try to purchase a dog from the purest sense of gene placement – meaning (I think) purchase a...

I am currently in the market for a male black lab for an upland dog and family dog. I am looking for one that would be available sometime between end of January and late April, although I can be flexible. Please let me know if you have any recommendations on kennels or are selling some...

I may have an opportunity to lease some land from friends of a friend in SE Nebraska/NE Kansas. They have 130-160 acres they would like to lease for pheasant/quail and deer hunting. This is a so-so county for upland, and I would assume a pretty good deer hunting location. I have viewed it online...

Hey guys - Long time reader, first time poster. Lifelong Nebraskan so I primarily hunt Nebraska, but occasionally make my way to SD or KS. No dog currently, but in the market for lab. I am a "younger" guy so I love to hear old stories of the glory days, and also the lessons learned from the...
