Has anyone else used the liquid band-aid? I tried it once to keep mine from scratching at a cut and it worked great.

Sounds like I need to go on a trip with you.

my dog's had it half a dozen times and never seems to bother him. He also doesn't get any swelling with it. It does look rather funny sticking out about three inches then hanging straight down.

I'm laughing my booty off right now

you're a better man than me

I bet your dog is thinking you're a bigger tease than some of the girls I dated in college

to damn cold at my house to be in the woods or feilds
my neighborhood ponds were 25% frozen this morning, tommorrow will be useless for me to hunt, unless someone knows where the ducks with ice skates are.

once or twice a year - depends where you go and how much a reason you give them. Only once have I had the full check (license, shells, plug, etc.)

I don't post here often, but the basics are

how to hunt questions are welcomed
Techniques, shells, decoys, dogs

where to hunt questions are taboo and if answered will probably be lies

A lot of us put many hours in to finding public hunting areas that are productive and then many, many ...

7 1/2's (hevi)

I bathe mine after Sunday's hunt so his oils will build up during the week. After Saturday's hunt I just rinse him off really good so he is clean enough to come in the house. I just hunt on weekends so this works for us.

Went to the vet today and mine checked out OK. They said it has to do with it being a good (BAD) year for skeeters. One of the vets dogs had even gotten them. They also said that it was all treatments that were coming up positive, not just heartguard.

I've never done more than one at a time, and that sucks. I can't imagine four - hope you can get some sleep tonight.

did that to a remington .270 one time with mud in the barrel. Mine split into two peices, left and right. Mine only split about 10" back. I shot at a deer and heard a weird sound and my hand was tingling. When I noticed the barrel it scared the hell out of me.

I like that idea - the gunshot is a sit command rather than a signal to an upcoming retreive. That would be good with my huntstyle - not every shot is a retreive

I was all exited my dog got 54.
I usually hunt by myself or with one other person so that's not so bad.
