Thanks for the input, yeah SC is a little out of reach. Do you mean the DVD's from Miller? Or is he actually in NY? I'm all for training her when I'm home, but work with a pro while I'm deployed is what I'm going for. My wife is taking her to a place not far from base right now. I'm hoping...

I have a young viszla that have worked with myself while she was a puppy and her first season was great. She took naturally to pointing, retrieving took a little work though but she became a solid hunter. However her second season was not as stellar, and I do blame myself for not devoting as...

Used #6 in 20ga for years when Winchester still made their 540 powder. I believe that's the right powder. Killed pheas pretty well. But sadly that powder was discontinued and then I joined the army and haven't got a lot of hunting time since. My wife will actually be taking my O/U to the...

Sent you a pm about the PF Meetings. I'll have to poke around down South on a long weekend and see what I can scare up.

I have tried calling them several times, and left a few messages but they never pick up and have not returned any calls. Dunno if I'm just getting unlucky or if they're on vacation. I have done some walks with my dog on the Fort Drum reservation and found some grouse, haven't hit any of the...

Vitamine C is water soluble, so you don't have to worry about od'ing the dog. The body will use what it needs and flush the rest. Take a look at those "Airborne" tablets some time. They have 1000mg vit c per, and they recommend something like 2 or 3 a day iirc. I don't think a dog needs as...

Different strokes, like I said, I've seen the opposite. Breed dependant maybe? Best of luck though, which ever route you take.

Personally, I'd run a pup with one of the older dogs, or both of the older dogs. Unless you are hunting something restrictive, I don't think there would be a hard fast rule of only so many dogs on the ground at once. I have seen some dogs turn out great that never had any formal training, they...

Her first rooster @ about 4 months old Current, about 7 months old

I was 15 I think. We were on a friends property pushing a fence row that widened into a grassy water-way and eventually became a wooded creek bed. I was closest to the woods on one side. The dogs got birdy, but moved away towards their owners. A few moments later a rooster flushed next to me...

My vet told me that it's required that any food has enough nutrients for all ages and stages of development. So I just transitioned right then to regular food so, now I don't have to worry about separating my older dog and my puppy during feeding. Puppy was about 5 or 6 months old then.

Agreed Daisy, I love my 870 Express. The darn thing is like a chevy truck, no matter what you do it will keep going. And it was inexpensive, and in my opinion looked better than a mossberg o/u lol. But the o/u i got is an SKB 585 Gold with two sets of barrels, it's my "I love me gun" that I...

I'm up in the Watertown/Ft. Drum area. I already know that pheas don't survive well up here and that the state releases pen raised birds in the northern WMU's, but anybody out there know how things progress into late season? Is it worth it to try once the snow's start or just move on into the...

Had this issue with my Viszla pup, she's my first bird dog and I had never seen any of my dads dogs do it. I agree with get the dog to point how ever it will, then position the dog. Seemed to help out, I already got scolded by the trainer my dad uses for the wing on a string thing, so I...

I picked one up off the shelf one time, not quite sure what model it was, but it was a Mossberg O/U. I was very disappointed with the fit and finish. I've seen cheaper guns with better looking wood, and better fitting wood. But I will refuse to buy a gun that I find ugly, even it it is the...
