I dont hunt there to keep from getting throwed in jail. I had a guy cast his dogs in on my chase and he and his cronies tried to short stand me on the rabbit. If he asked to hunt with me before hand it would have been different. Had another guy try and steal my dog on Jewell Rd. access. I write my i...

I fed Iams for a long time and got to talking to a buddy I coon hunt with and he switched from Iams to Southern States Avanced Sport. I compared labels and it is exact listings in the same order,etc. The food pellets are undistinguishable between the two. I have a theory that its the same crap packa...

Carrying capacity. An area will hold as much of a species of wildlife as it can support until it reaches its capacity and then level off. If you have cover, food, water the population will rise to its maximum level. Its true for all animals. Rabbits are food, so when their population increases the p...

I work around chainsaws, log skidders, log loaders, dozers, feller bunchers, etc. and unfortunatley never wore ear protection for years. I run bells not for coyotes or jumping rabbits but because I'm about deaf anymore. Especially on snow or wet ground which is about all season in WV. I take them of...

Mr Carder, I grew up near Johnstown on Romines Mills. I hunt over the ridge on Hackers Creek mainly. Small world

I enjoyed that video. Nice to see a rabbit run for awhile. The last couple weekends have had rabbits sitting tight and close to the hole for me. We ran a new place in Braxton Co. recently and had five chases for about 5 minutes each. There were too many rock piles and groundhog holes to stand gaurd ...

Well said Buckeye Blues. One mans junk is another mans treasure. I look back over the years at how my own "taste" has changed over the years. I used to look for fast running dogs and now favor dogs like Mr. Carders that were mentioned before in this thread, and Im only 32 yrs old. By the time I'm to...

Clean out the box good and start feeding him in the dog box. Dog will quit crapping where he eats. I had a female pup who would poop in the box. Started feeding her in the box in the back of truck. She quit pooping and started loading better too. If he still poops, try hauling him in a smaller crate...

Me and a buddy built it in Hodgesville in Upshur Co. Just finished it time for Christmas tree collecting!! They make great brush piles and crappie structure.

Ed Davidson doesn't have any. His does didn't take last time due to weather. He said he'd have another litter in 3 weeks. I got 2 from Donna Chipps on down the road in Laurel Park. Just a few minutes up Rt 19 from Davidson on Buffalo Lake Rd. Me and a buddy are stocking up a starting pen for some pups

Scent is so bad they couldn't run a rabbit in a bath tub

We have 3 bloodhounds we use at work for arson dogs on wildfires as well as mantracking(Tucker, Sadie Mae, and Jessup). The ears and dewlap do aid the nose in tracking. In the case of "mantracking", the dogs are receptive to scent rafts that are microscopic cells that float on the air currents along...

Had one on my feist last week here in WV. Thought I was losing my mind

E collar, I don't want my dog associating the negative with me. Let him think the deer is getting him. I seen guys use switches, run them down, put scent on them and all that happens is the dog learns not to run them when your close enough to catch them and punish them. I'd rather have them not want...

Brad, make sure that you don't eat any milk duds off the floor. The 10 second rule is void!
