This added another factor as to why I quit coon hunting. I hated it when my dogs went onto property that I had no permission to hunt and I had to go to the door and ask to go onto their property to retrieve my dogs. The first thing that at 9:00 p.m. or later they were pi$$ed that I bothered them and...

Actually WSRandy a person can shot and kill livestock that trespasses on another's property. I know you are ALL laughing right now and saying my livestock or MY DOG can't read so how do they know they can't enter one property or the other. This leads me to another story of experiance. This one is cl...

Alabama John, here in Indiana that could cost you time in jail plus a heavy fine for trespassing whether posted or not. I had this happen one night while coon hunting with a friend. My dogs left the timber we were in and tracked and treed a coon in a small woods of about 10 acres about a mile from w...

The land owner not only has a right to prohibit you from hunting on their property but they also have the right to NOT allow you to retrieve game or a dog that may have gotton onto their property. You can call the game warden all you want but that game warden has no legal right onto your property fo...

Lonewolf, I've had a few pans of em like that. It's getting hard to find real cracklins now days as there are very few rendering lard. The popped pork rinds aren't even a close substitute. I like to cook a big ole cast iron pot of ham and beans using some smoked bacon rind to season out on the campf...

Thats exactly one of the reasons folks don't allow hunting on their property. They read something like this and what are they to think. If a person can't tell what the game is and takes it in bow range what would they do if gun hunting? I like to know the people I'm in the field with.

Could be something in the 3rd eyelid causing the irratation. If there is puss then there is more than an irratation going on and if you can see nothing then the dog needs veterinary assistance.

I don't waste cracklins on the dogs.

Freedom isn't free and I agree with that, as many have made the ultimate sacrifice in the name of Freedom. Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness is also the American way. It shouldn't be a matter of whether it's a republican or democratic party in the White House but rather it should be an AMER...

Whoa beaglehandler, I had to look to see that I hadn't made your post as it is exactly as I was just getting ready to post. Now don't get me wrong as I am a veteran that goes back to service of the early 70's for which I volunteered and didn't get drafted. I will say this that in those days the rese...

The female that I referred to in my previous post was TIMID but NEVER showed any signs of biting anyone let alone me, the one that fed her. I had put her on a long check cord, talked to her , pulled her to me and gave her treats. I put her on a lead and sat down under a tree constantly pulling her t...

Don't know much about trials. What style dogs compete in this format?

Although hunting dogs are probably exposed to salmonella and E-coli bacteria more than other breeds they seem to have a tendency to fend off Salmonellosis. I have never heard of a dog diagnosed with Salmonellosis although it is possible. The normal canine temperature is 102* F so there is obviously ...

I had a little female several years ago in a litter that was extremely timid but the only one of the 6. I kept her thinking that all the others weren't that way so she'd come out of it. At about 11 months old her and a littermate male got out of the kennel and were running around the yard. I let the...

Are all dogs measured prior to the hunt? If your dog measures over the 13" can you then run them in the 15" class?
