Happens all the time in my backyard on long island. Like Joe said, hawks gotta eat too. There are lots of different raptors on long island. I personally enjoy watching it. I watched a pair of hawks working together to take out a blue jay. I thought it was very cool. But to answer your question, the best thing to do if you don't want that to happen is to remove your bird feeder. That is a hot spot for them.

Yeah, I'm sure you joined so you can "be a very giving member to this forum". So, how big are those kill cages?

UKC, is awesome.They are very popular down south, but there are tests here in the Northeast. The biggest difference is you are firing a gun from the line at the marks in the field like you would in real hunting, and you have to wear camo. They also use lots of decoys and realistic blinds. I ran a test a few years ago that had about a 100 goose decoys, you were in a layout blind and your dog was next to you laying down in a dog blind, goose calling, very realistic . In AKC hunt tests, you just stand there at the line and they shoot very loud blanks by the marks as they are going down. AKC field trials are even less realistic to hunting. White coats are worn and that's just a different game all together.

X2, to both of Doewhackers replies. Your going to have to let her be a pup and not do too much right now.

UKC hunt tests are the most realistic scenarios for hunting retrievers.

How old is the pup? I've trained many retrievers for hunting and competetion, it just takes time and you have to be consistant. I recommend the smartworks series by Evan Graham. The 10 minute retriever or one of Dokkens books/vids is a good start. First work the pup on obedience, don't move foward to formal retrieving until that is 100%. You introduce her to water(you don't teach them to swim) in shallow water and I would wait till it warms up a bit. Also, dogs are not born gun shy, they are made that way. DO NOT shoot near the dog right now. You have to introduce gun fire the right way. When you start doing retrieving work, you have someone with a .22 blank pistol shoot far away from the dog, after that you can get closer and closer. Then shoot a shotgun far out there and move that closer and closer. It's a progression. You want the dog to associate gun fire with fun retrieving. Good luck with the pup. Any questions, just ask.

Dam, you won't do that again. At least it didn't get your wrist. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I had the LCP first and sold it pretty fast. Now I have the Bodyguard. The Bodyguard is a much nicer gun. The fit and finish, accuracy, integrated laser, and the sights are much better on the Bodyguard. I also hated that the LCP didn't stay open after the last shot. Yes, the Bodyguard costs a little more but I'm very happy with mine

I know of someone who went there years ago. Its small and high fence. It's not hunting. But if you feel like shooting your own pork, instead of going to the grocery store, then go. The meat is very very good. I have eaten many Russian boar and feral hogs. I just got one in Texas a couple months ago. Not sure what the deal is with Lawdwaz's hog.

That's what it's all about, Congrats! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The outfitter was Northern Lights, his name was Kevin. I don't know if he is still doing it or not. I went in 2004. If I remember correctly, it was about $2000-2500. I would definitely recommend Alberta.

It's your choice, so if you don't like it don't do it. Not all bear hunts are over bait. I hunted in Alberta because you can get 2 bears and a high probability of color phase. This particular part of Alberta was no bait because of the grizzly population. All spot and stalk and me and a buddy both shot 2 big bears each. We thought it was much better than sitting over a barrel for hours, but to each his own. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Dont jump to conclusions. Did you ever think it could be from spring of 2013??

What as shame, those bases are just insane. Wonder what got him.

Great video as always, great job. When was that?

Yup, just need to get a cape.

Nice pics. Was that tom gobbling? Can't wait!

Why don't the moderators just nuke this thread(and a couple others lately). Other forums I belong too would never allow this. It just brings it down. Nothing productive is coming out of it. Same people arguing over and over. The guys that have the disagreements should either meet in person so there aren't any "internet tough guys" or just pm until they are blue in the face. Arguing on this forum, or any other, is just a complete waste of time. Get out there and scout or shoot or something. Who really cares what some stranger on the other end thinks anyway?

Use a enclosed blind so he will be able to move a little and not have to be totally still for hours. Use decoys so you can control where the shot will be. Try to locate the roost the evening before to up your chances. Ill be taking my daughter for the first time this year as well. Good luck Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Aah, some guy you know from Loews. Sounds reliable. Was it the same guy who is telling you about these five cougars? If you are serious, I would suggest not so easily believing BS.

So, what grade did you drop out of school? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
