    Mate that sounds like your cruising for gay sex WHOA! you not supposed to be that nice! I appreciate the humor and I can definitely see where you guys accross the pond are rolling your eyes at my post thinking the same thing, given all the gay rights stuff in the news over her. They are trying to make it where preacher have to marry gay couples whether they want to or not, gay extremists are suing wedding cake business and putting them out of business for holding to their convictions and not making wedding cakes for gay wedding, Bruce Jenner turned into Katelyn Jenner, so on and

    I wanted to take my two wolf hound, deer hound, mastiff pups out without any adult dogs. My brother in law called and said he would like to get his Dane x Pit pup out also. Perfect! We found a group of pigs feeding in the middle a big wheat feild. After looking over the pigs with the infrared unit (to dark this night for good detailed pic with the night vision eventhough the pigs were spotted withe night vision) we felt confident that there were no big rank boars feeding with this small sounder of pigs. Wind was already blowing straight to us from the pigs and you could tell the p

    I find that stopping and making myself be nice to people makes me feel good inside. I was kinda an entravert when I was a kid, quiet and kinda shy and liked being by myself. I rarely smiled. I liked helping people though, even as a kid eventhough I did not smile. Several times through my teen years I heard people such as physiologists and preacher's say smiling makes you feel good and has a positive effect of others around you. As I got older I started smiling at people as if to say hello while looking them in the eyes. It really does have a positive effect on both of

    How old are your dogs when you start turning them out on average size pigs? I started mine at 8 to 9 months. This last pup needed a little longer and she was 10 months old when I let her run in and catch with another dog.

    Yes it is very exiting when your catch dog catches a good pig for the first time. What was most exciting for me is when my other pup started running down and catching her own pigs instead of running behind my stag. Kinda scares me though because she is to young to be catching big boars by herself.

    Bird, I don't really know how fast my dogs are. The pups aren't as fast yet as they will be later on as they still have a lot of maturing to do physically. The stag I'm guessing will do 30 mph give or take. I don't know what bloodline my stag is. The guy I got him from wanted rid of all his hunting dogs because he lost the land he hunted. Something was unwittingly said about the stag which prompted me to offer a little cash for the dog. The guy took the cash and I took a chance on the dog. Not much in between was said. Wouldn't have believed it anyway haha.

    I have two female wolf hound/deer hound/mastiff pups. 1 is considerably harder than the other. (Harder meaning mentally tougher and willing to engage a good size pig and the determination to hold the hog no matter what the hog dishes out.) The 1 pup has been catching pigs with my stag and on her own now for a month. This past week I took the other pup out for a hunt to see how she would do. Under the cover of darkness with the aid of night vision, I eased up to within 100 yards of a group of pigs feeding in a wheat field. As I unclipped both dogs I shinned the group of pigs w

    I catch hogs with my dogs and have a little experience with wounds such as this. This kinda cut is the same sort of wound a dog will get if he is caught on a hog that's in a group and the boar comes in behind your dog and hooks him right in the hind end with his tushes, ripping the dog off the hog it is holding. I'm not saying that this is what happened to yours but do to its location, the direction the cut runs, and it's appearance, it is a likely scenario. The cut looks deep but it runs with the muscle tissue instead of across the muscle fibers. This kinda cut heals faster than t

    Hog doggers will often have a first aid / trama kit with them in order to keep a dog from bleeding out. Water is usually the most important thing for my dogs in the hot months of the year as heat stress/stroke is the biggest concern. It's better to address the issues in the field and get the dog stabilized then and there, than carrying a dog a mile or two back to the truck and having it die on you or have the situation worsen do the amount of time gone by before you can properly care for the dog. Often times carrying a dog out will be the only option when your a foot. Other ti

    You keep referring to that lion as a cub in an effort to belittle. It was no cub. Sub adult at least but from the video it looked like a good example of a young female best I could tell by the size and the area which it was in. Lions in the desert are not gonna average as big as the lions that call the Rockies home or the northern part of the US and Canada. You claim you can see spots as if they were indicative of a cub. Dog slober, blood, and dirt is more like it. If you claim the video is so good that you can see faint color spots on that lion, then please point out and diffe

    With center fire rifles you need to be about 20 feet away from the chronograph. The chronograph needs to be level and you need to be shooting level with it. The chronograph being level and your rifle being level with it and shooting straight through it will give you a fairly accurate reading. Both of my chronographs suggested that the sun be over head and not on the horizon. Better on a clear day too. I believe the rule is for every foot away you are from the Chronograph, you add 2 fps to the reading. Common sense will take you a long way when shooting through a chrono

    Small lion or not, didn't look to me when the man got there, that there was much he could do considering the circumstances. One man out horseback by himself with multiple dogs. Trapperdan, I'm very curious to know how you would have saved the lion when you got there? If you could have gotten the dogs off before the lion died, would you have just left it to die? How would you have gotten the dogs off and kept them off of the lion by yourself. When you pulled the last dog off of the lion, how would you have kept the lion off of yourself. Would you have beaten the dogs to back the

    Yes that would make sense

    Surely if it's the green algae that's bad for your dog, it's not the same green algae we have in the south in the US. Everyones water buckets have algae on the sides unless they but a little bleach in the water. I put apple cidar vinegar in my water to help prevent it instead of bleach like a lot of people do here. I've not heard of a problem here with green algae making dogs sick that were otherwise healthy. I'm not saying it is so but maybe if your are referring to an isolated case in your area, I would figure a bacteria of some sort in the water made the dog sick rather than the a

    Hello! I love me some shooting. Especially long range shooting and hunting, custom rifles and reloading.

    In the summers, most of my hunting will start late at night. It gets 100 to 105 degrees in the hottest months of summer here in north central texas. If i don't hunt that night, i will normally take the dogs for a good run at dawn. I will get a thermos of coffee, load the dogs up on my little buggy (UTV) and drive half a mile to a little farm to market road and kick the dogs out and let them run behind me as I'm riding in the barditch drinking my coffee. It's a 3.5 mile straight stretch of road with a creek at both ends to water the dogs at after a nice run each way. Later in t

    I'm not really sure what needles are in yall's country but by the context clues I have an idea. Brings to mind our prickly pair cactus and jumping cactus. Dogs that hunt in areas that have a lot of the cactus need to be accustomed to it before ever hunting around it. Taking the pups out to the pastures to run around and play and learn how to run through the woods, briars, cactus and what ever else is essential I believe. Yeah you get to pick a bunch of stickers out of the pups untill they learn what cactus is but it's well worth it. An older dog that has never been around

    One of the best looking dogs I've ever seen. That's the kind of build I like for my kinda dogging.

    My main method is to flush the puncture wound or cut with bedadine using a sering. After getting the wound good and clean only then will I sow or staple. If the wound is deep, I will leave a small opening at the bottom for it to drain. Sometimes I will use this same opening to continue flushing the wound with bedadine via a sering and blunt needle but being carefull not to inject the dog only to flush the wound. I can also get a little antibiotic ointment into the wound if I feel compelled to do so this way. If you leave the puncture open then flushing it 3 or 4 times a day

    Our ability to hunt game with dogs is always under assault from the animal rights people and our progressive government. I fear that if we don't elect a devout constitution conservative for our next president, we won't even be able to chase a rabbit and we sure won't be able to shoot it. We have lost so many of our freedoms already and they are trying their best to squash independent individuals. They have already rewrote our history books. What people like me are able to do and enjoy now will soon be a memory and we too will be written out of history.we all need to stand together,
