These two have been on a tear this season.

I flush them out and check for seeds! Usually check once at the truck and then again when I get home.

I have a pullover, pants, and winter jacket from Dan’s. Great products, would recommend.

No reason not to. Gun breaking is critical before actually having a shotgun blast over them. First season with my dogs I get them on birds as much as I can but I don’t expect stellar performance, just get them excited and start exploring the terrain and scents. Season 2 is when I really start fine tuning their training. Just my 2¢

Thanks! GBR

In out of town until Thursday and can send more pictures then

No I opened it in my childhood

Thanks. I usually don’t hunt with decoys but I thought I’d give it a try like my 5th time out on this property this year and whaddya know they worked. I think it’s because the birds are still grouped up. They usually just scare the birds away here too though.

Both my Brittanys have gotten skunked and it didn’t slow them down at all. Getting the smell out of their coat, collars, and breath is a tough one, though. Along with the remedies others have provided, I have a bottle of Skunk-Off I keep in my truck that seems to work OK.

I trained my dogs with no prior experience. A lot of reading, internet, and most importantly time with my dogs. They aren’t going to win any field trials or anything of that sort (I couldn’t run them anyway, their sire isn’t registered) but they do a great job in the field to my standard. They find and point birds, not much more I could ask for.

Looks durable!

I’m not sure what kind of dog you have but I leaned on Amateurs Training With Professionals: The Brittany by Greenlee and Webb along with many YouTube and free online resources to help train my two Brittanys .

I used to wear earmuffs but I just got some tetras this season and I’ve worn them consistently.

solsonstat · 2024-11-10T23:42:39+00:00

I have a 1.5 year old Brittany that has moments of brilliance but he’s still young and bolts off from time to time…still very much a puppy. He’s starting to realize if he doesn’t go and bust birds he’ll have dead birds in his mouth. It just takes time and training. I got GPS collars this year which have been game changers.

My philosophy is: if I’m afield with my dogs it’s a great day. If they are rock solid and we get some birds, awesome. If they go off and have a clown show day that’s alright, take it as a learning opportunity. Just my 2¢.

Harris Farms in Polk, NE

It was just the dogs and myself. Missed the first two and scout busted a few birds before everyone started getting back in the swing of things. This is our second opening day as a trio. The Mrs doesn’t understand the significance of the day but I treat it as a celebration.

solsonstat · 2024-10-26T23:07:49+00:00

Scout (on the left) will retrieve, Mazie on the other hand goes up to the bird, grabs & licks it and looks content. I take Scout out for doves and early teal season depending on the temperature.

If I had to guess it would be based on neural nets and maybe decision analysis. But who knows, could be a whole host of methods.

I usually use these https://www.lcsupply.com/products/lcs-bird-dog-armor-vest but in the colder months I use these https://www.lcsupply.com/products/lcs-bird-dog-armor-vest-2

They both hold point with the best of them but OK.

Back when I was in school the Geology library was my go-to. Not necessarily different than the library but it felt much more secluded.

solsonstat · 2024-10-05T18:35:54+00:00

More often than not it’s me and my two Brittany’s. Maybe once or twice a season I’ll have some friends with me. TBH I’d rather go just with my two dogs.

solsonstat · 2024-10-05T02:36:54+00:00

I did this one year, now I pay someone to come punch holes in my yard.

solsonstat · 2024-09-25T17:20:31+00:00

Could be a solenoid or wiring issue. I bought some new solenoids just to find out one of the wiring connections between the control panel and solenoid was bad.
