Re: Bad scenting conditions

We fid it often too. Dogs get 'em up and lose 'em after a short run. Small/young, bred does, poor scenting, run right to the hole, who knows. The long races make up for it.

Rabbit/Deer Camp Stew

The thought of making food after coming in wet and cold after a morning's hunting leaves a lot to be desired. What if a hot stew was already when you came in? Easy Oven Stew 1-1/2 Pounds of beef stew meat or get a roast and cut up yourself 1 cup diced celery (2-3 stalks) 6-8 carrots cut in chunks 4-...

Re: Life is Great...

Frame that picture and hang it in his room. My granddaughter is getting interested in hunting. Last year she went to a couple of trials with me. She's 11, but I can't wait to get her out. She needs to learn to shoot first but I have a little 870 28 gauge she can use. Congrats to both of you.

Re: Rabbit recipes ?????

My wife bakes them for an hour and a half and then browns them in a cast iron skillet. Pretty simple and darn good.

Re: short but awesome hunt sons first rabbit

I tagged along with my dad and two uncles every Saturday and Sunday growing up. They just had hounds but they sure could run rabbits. Once I got old enough to carry a gun, Dad let me use his Model 12 and he used a .22 single shot. He always worried about the range. I don't remember when I killed my ...

Re: leasing out your female

Never have but don't think I would. If they want to raise a litter they should get their own female or buy the entire litter. Just MHO.

Sounds like I'm in the majority camp on this one. Thanks for the input.

Feeding Before Running/Hunting

I usually don't feed my dogs before a run, hunt or trial. What is the majority opinion? One of my dogs gets motion sickness so for her it's a no brainer. I usually feed them a cup-and-a-half in the morning and another 3/4 cup at night. Sometimes a little more if they've run every day all week. Thanks.

Re: deer breaking

I had a similar situation yesterday. Dog barked once on a deer trail and I had just jumped a rabbit in the vicinity--dog was running another rabbit at the time. I yelled at him once and he cut into the low brush so I'm assuming a rabbit ran the deer trail. I'm still not confident they won't run a de...

Re: garmin ?

I have a 220 with two DC 30s and two DC 40s. Mine track well over 400 yards. I tracked my setter at 750 yards on the power line. I agree in thick cover, they lose signal, especially pine plantations and corn fields. I could always tell when my dogs were barking "hole." Their voice got muffled and I ...
