Welcome aboard Rick, great to have you here.

Because micro managing is kind of fun. I miss the ability to handle a good dog sometimes. But I get where you are coming from as well and do agree with you. I took it WAY too far with my first, but I was young and was a control freak with everything she did. This one, cannot take any pressure...

Very good point! I say it all the time that my dog now has a better nose than my first dog did. Im not sure I didnt train the nose out of the dog though. Looking back, she could mark triples and quadruples. What she didnt see on a volley, I could handle her to the bird. There were times though...

Crazy how that blue light makes the bottom of the boat look so cluttered!!! Looks good! Especially love the electronic duck call you mounted to the boat :ROFLMAO:

Ya I know your pain. We have a dog that howels near our home. For the most part, shes ok but whenever a siren goes off in the distance, she gets to howling to the point it wakes everyone up. When I lived in the city, we had great neighbors for how close we lived. One day, we were outside and...

You are completely correct, but its just where she was in her training at the time. But lets say she does take my casts to get on the bank.... does it make sense to have to step out in the river (where she could see me giving those casts) and give her those casts every time she gets turned...

I think it is a DQ. If memory serves, we had a lady in the group who had a pooch who would bark on the line before being released. Didnt matter if it was water or land, the dog was so damn excited, he just barked and barked. She tried everything, even took a bottle of hot sauce and put it in a...

White coats are so the dog can see your handle out from super insane far distances. More seen in field trials vs hunt tests. I never field trialed because I didnt understand those games and the hunt tests seemed more up my alley and what seemed fun to me. I did test out the white coat theory and...

Ya I agree with you both. One of the DQ's in a water test is the dog getting out and running the bank to the bird. They want all swim. On my first dog, they set up a nasty test where the dog swam through water, got up on a point, then back in the water to the next bank to pick up the bird. Then...

It can be addicting for sure. I took my first all the way through master hunter and finished in AKC/HRC. My current one gets on the short bus in major ways. She could probably pass the started and beginner tests but no further. Although its a ton of fun, I couldnt get over all the show dogs and...

So adding geese to the spread. First half dozen done. Still have a few touch ups to make but these are about wrapped up too. Open bill design is thanks to you Mr. Heitman. It’s an awesome awesome design of a bill and so proud to have it in the spread next year incorporated in some of my own decoys.

Little eye clean up when dry, sign, number, and keel and it’s headed to Cali. Still got a long ways to go to be anywhere near Don and his son status lol.
