Ditto here Todd, Next time stay and extra day or two and we'll take you out on a hunt. Really enjoyed the talk. You've Lived ( live) a very interesting life and I enjoyed the tales of travel, dogs, hunts and people. Of course , since I always enjoy your written words and pics I would have...

As a trainer I had several dogs that "inhaled" their food and at times would choke on it. To counter it I would use a large bowl, put a smaller OVERTURNED bowl inside and then put the food in around that. They still tried to inhale but they could only get smaller bits as they worked their way...

Have a great season Al. Hope you find the water. I know you're wife will be in the blind withyou this year as well so you tryly are lucky. Dave B

Thanks for the info so far guys. I do have oars on mine for in times of trouble. In fact, that is one of the reasons I'm thinking of going the way of my bud and trying the electric motors.Twice now I have had problems with my regular motor starting when it was time to leave and had to row back...

I have never owned a trolling motor and so am not familiar at all with their limitations/abilities. My buddy just starting using one with his ZTW BBSB and loves it over his regular motor. However, he lives on the lake and the run to his spot is very short so it is mostly used for chasing...

unfortunately I don't think your spot is legal under the new rules. The vegetation has to be emergent as I understand it. It looks to me like you have a bush or tree growing from a small island. Don't know if its still there but during the debates the DNR had pics on their site of what was and...

Clynch, I had a dog that had it done. In fact , he got written up in the vet medical journals. It was because he was so young. Usually they see it in older dogs. The only reason we noticed it was because he did competition and on long swims he did what in horses they call "roaring" , a labored...

CJ, If you PM me your email addy I will send you an article I have on collar conditioning. I teach using the sit, heal, here, method. As young pups you teach these things using tricks and treats. When the dog is ready for more "Formal" training you use a lead, whip stick and pinch collar. As...

Todd and Anya, DAMN Tod ! Sorry for your loss. I too always looked forward to your pics and prose of your adventures with Alex. I've often said they would make a great book. I wish I had the words that could ease your pain, but as anyone who has been though this knows, no sch words exit. Only...

Todd , Sorry to hear about Alex. I had to put Tanner down the last day in Nov. last year, a day short of his 13th birthday. My other pup. Casey is going to be 14 ( God willing)this June . She has cancer and arthritis so I know too well what you are facing. If you have been giving rimadyl for...

Nick, I have the same set up.... a MLB ZT wigeon and the Briggs 5 hp motor. It is a great set up and does all I need it to.Motor has been very reliable including in the cold. 2 things I like for cold weather is no worrying about the pee hole freezing up. 2nd, is that if its cold I start the...

Hey all, Looking for a suggestion for a glue that will hold plastic but that is heat resistant. Have an older pair of cross country skis that has the p-tex bottom starting to delaminate from the ski body. So, I need a glue to reset them. Must be able to stick to plastic but be able to take heat...

Todd, I've said it before and I'll say it again, you really need to put out a table top book of your images and prose. As good or better than many others i have read. Always look forward to your posts. DAve B
