That's a good question. There can be some good reasons that a breeder would offer an older pup and some reasons that you would prefer to have one. There are some experiences of mine that tell me NOT to do that. The reasons that are breeder/trainer could have a pup are that they are...

Great points here - of course!! Cover as many as youre able and willing too! My experieces. Note that I've had only 1 dog that was part lab but a few others from spaniels to pointers and house pets of various breeds. Really discuss your lifestyle and the life that that dog will live with...

Here is that earlier thread on this. http://duckboats.net/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?post=62220;guest=3572665#62220

I'm with you in spirit. The last time I paid a retainer it was money down the crapper. For what you're up against - the 200 bucks or so, it's all principal. And there is definitley a push back on the new CO writing a citation of that magnitude for something that is so questionable. The DNR...

I like my RNT Short Barrel in cocobola and an RNT Daisy cutter in acrylic as backup. Right now the short barrel is tuned a little better - but both are great sounding. They also have some good CD's for instruction. For a goose call I'm using a Foiles SMH. All of these have more...

Not exactly. I have an SBEII and have not had any problems. However, it seems that I've read of similar problems with the SBE that were fixed by Benelli. I have had very quick and effective response from Benelli on Warranty claim so I would give them a shout and first effort at...

+1 for the kit. Need address etc for check. Thanks, Keir

Busted. Bumped 'em. Knocked 'em. Nuts. Very first hunt I'm in the blind with my dad's buddy. Dad's in the decoys moving things a bit. Only birds that flew that morning were at that moment. I still here it. "Hey, Jim... JIM. JIM! Overhead." reply "ahh Nuts, no gun". The birds...

Is it ironic that with the DVD's I've picked up, I wouldn't recommend any of them for being educational for decoy work. Some DVD's out there for calling or dog training. Best to look at the book recomendations. Rutgers: Maybe you should put a video together that fills the gap on decoys...

We can count on the principal support for our economy. which is Greed. Greed and desire to have more will drive the economic wheel. Pushing the ARM mortgages and all the folk living on borrowed money made for a train wreck. It is really going to get ugly if these folk get bailed out...

Sounds like an awsome pup to have and work with. As for your question, you have his interests at heart. Just remember that the water is still warm and he's still young(?). Then when things change, water temp, wind, air temp, and with good training you can call him off. Having an eyeball...

Mike W. You will want to know more about this. It isn't a disease, but a "blue-green" algae that forms in some lakes. It can cause death to humans as well. There were usually cautions that would begin around July-August. I recall that Lake Mendota would have warnings at times and that...

On a lighthearted note, pick up something from Patrick F. McManus http://www.mcmanusbooks.com/ As far as making sure they don't walk off, well you could hold something of value from them in trade.

As a Mechanical Engineer the family beans and bacon are earned in designing and improving coal fired combustion systems. Before making it to college there were 10 years in the U.S. Navy of which living in and traveling throughout Europe were the highlight.

Me thinks you're using the electric motor THRUST of 44 Lbf which is not equivilent to a torque of 44 ft-Lbf. Might this work: Thrust x Velocity = hp. Which I get to be 0.47hp for your case. Then there is the drag loss which I didn't guess at, but I still think your motor would be less then...

And ya didn't leave the first time the water came back up!? It Happens.

I'll 2nd that dipping it in melted wax works. The 'ol man did this often. After melting parafin wax in hot water, take it off the stove - obviously the wax/water mix needs to be in a wide pan to dip in the bird. Let wax cool on the bird then pull off the wax with the pin feathers.

Seems that there needs to more for the judge to say 'beyond a reasonable doubt' that this was a hen. From what I've read, there is much to the ID of this bird that raises the doubt level. Moreover, the new CO is exerting his presence in the new area, and was trying to press for information...

The monies are not give away. The funds would purchase the mortgage securities. The government would then own something. As long as the price is worked out the government can make a profit when reselling these. It's a market economy. It's always better here and we pay WAY Less taxes than...

Nice pup there. Gus and I send regards. I had a young lab that had the limp after her first weekend hunt. Hydration and conditioning seems to be my best recomendation. Aspirin, but no Ibuprofron (sp) since its a poison for dogs.
