Hey all. Just thought i'd thank you for advice. I bit the bullet and bought a sportdog 2525 from nitelite. Love it! my dogs dont trash any more and now have good enough manners to participate in dinner parties!

hey guys. following up on everything. we purposely went to a place with tons of skunks and porcs to trashbreak. I brought four foot fiberglass pig show sticks. I was lucky enough to catch up to my plott and walker stretching out a skunk and whopped some butt mid stretch. An hour later they had their ...

Thanks for the advice all. I guess i'm gonna half to get a e-collar system.

TomJr: How am I suppose to know if they strike a porc, skunk, or coon? They strike, go tearing ass through the woods, and next time i see them, sometimes as far a mile away, they are chewing on a dead porcupine.( its so thick where I hunt, i can take five minutes to go 200 yards) I don't want to ...

If shock collars are the only way, ill bite the bullet and get a set. I'm a full time engineering student and full time mechanic with two kids... I just broke the bank on my garmin system. And with diesel as high as it is, hunts aren't getting any cheaper.(How's that for some poor me mes! ) I'm just ...

AZDOGMAN- Hounds have been hunted long before e collars were even a possibilty. How did the old timers used to break them? There is always a tool to make a job easier, but it is always not the only way to do the job right.

Switzie- That's exactly what I'm thinking. I live in an area where unpapered ...

At this point i'm worried about the dogs' safety. I eventually they'll get some bad infections from those broken quills.

I am currently training a plott, a walker and a blue dog. Every time they cross path of skunk or porcupine they have to catch. I dont own any e-collars and was wondering if there was a way around purchasing them. We come in every time with green switches and scolding while they are chewing on them ...

If i purchased a new one today, would it still have notorious problems or did they figure everything out??

Does anyone know where i can find some dc-30's? Does anyone still sell unused ones? Thanks.

We had the whole pack in an area over grown with cholla cactus and known for rattlers on Saturday morning. Or maybe a black window or brown recluse found her in the kennel?

Some kinda bite thats what i'm thinking. I opened it up again today and just blood with some clear liquid. No cloudiness at all.

I just noticed my 6 m/o walker has an abscess the size of a baseball on her chest. Last night it wasn't there. No wounds or cactus to get infected. It's kinda hard. When I lanced it, only a little bit of blood came out. The lump remains. I'm putting her on anti-bi right now. has this happened to ...

country my a$$!

Thats the way I see it. She's outta here.
