Get that pup on live birds! Sounds like your dog is on their way to being a great gun dog .

Great group over at Hunts. I hunted over copper years ago before I had my own dogs.

Hey all- Does anyone know a good place to get birds for training in South Jersey? I trained my current dog where I used to live and had a solid contact to get birds every weekend. Now live in south jersey and hoping to get my new Drahthaar on birds every weekend in a controlled setting aka not anywhere near these wmas!

doesnt seem to have any details- just have to have orange hat. none of the crap about logo or anything

If you know how to Ecollar train a dog, you will not have an issue with the fence. Proper ecollar training is amazing what you can do with it but can easily screw up a dog if done wrong.

Not at all. Sounds awesome what you do. You make a good point. Realistically the average guy that hunts a bait pile- can’t actually hunt. A real hunter- can easily hunt a bait pile. Sounds like you are a true hunter that uses bait as a secondary. That’s rare I. The “baiting” world. Good on you

Still not seeing where the skill is. it is basic target practice. with bait, you decide the shot before you even leave your bedroom to hunt. Again, not knocking it. If you are not interested in being a true hunter or dont have the time, I respect that you want to get out there and kill something- glad you are doing it in the most humane way possible.

I was in a climber so it was difficult to get back without any sticks or ladder but I stayed upright the whole time. I hung for about 2 mins to catch my breath and compose myself. Only pinch I felt was in my armpits where the straps dug in as I fell forward and snapped back. Lesson learned was to keep tree strap as high as possible so even falling you are about level with platform. Mine was low due to way I was in tree cover. The elastic cord helped a lot but was shot after the fall.

Im not knocking baiting. I just dont think it is real "hunting." it take ZERO skill. Anyone can do it. literally with zero practice or knowldge. to me, thats not hunting. Please explain what skill goes into it? Would you call yourself a talented home run hitter if you could only use a tee?

Cant go wrong with a muddy harness. I fell last season and it worked flawless. Bought a new one and after last season, will never not wear it. Comfortable and even has additional connection points for other gear.

OOOORRRRRR you hunt public land. Spend time learning and reading all you can on the massive amounts of studies on deer movement- spend some time reading/learning the area you will hunt- scout, adjust accordingly, and BOOM score a buck.

Is it really hunting with bait?

You watched- so you know when they laughed right? My god. Hillary would have been terrible but your hitler reference is so sad. Especially when.... ahhh never mind.

What does that even mean? Lol dude go to bed. Get some sleep. Haha you win. I can’t go on after that comment. There is zero sense to it. What does watching it have to do with me calling you out, you falsely trying to correct me, and me proving that wrong? CNN? I said dozens, maybe less. Maybe more. I stopped at about 4 credible sources from both sides of the political spectrum.

Jesus you are making this toooooooo easy. BE A FREE THINKER and judging by your one comment, you are actually intelligent. READ. Fox news was called out and changed their headline and clips. simple. look it up. I'd do it for you but that wouuldnt be fun or productive. Their clips originally cut the laughter out. DOZENS of media outlets reported it. Once their fake news became the news, they changed their tune.
