Lion Country Supply: Hunting Dog Supplies Review

LCS Kennel Odor Eliminator

Reviewed by: Gary Laskowsky - LCS Telephone Specialist

Being a kennel owner and having several dog’s, I found using the
Kennel Odor Eliminator very effective in keeping odor down. These hot
summer day’s, as you may know, can result in a a “less than pleasant” odor around your kennel.Thisproduct has a pleasant smell making the area spell  more pleasant. I also dilute this and spray it around the kennel area for odor control.

LCS Retreiver Blind

Reviewed by: Gary Laskowsky, LCS Telephone Specialist

I often use the Better LCS Retriever Blind for training and hunting here
in Central Pa. I feel we have a quality blind for the price.  But, I prefer using
the standard blind stakes, as the ground in our area can be very rocky and the folding poles just don’t hold up in stomping them into are hard soil, in soft soil
I use this blind and recommend it.

LCS Universal Bird Launcher

Reviewed by: Gary Laskowsky, LCS Telephone Specialist

I have been working  at Lion Country for nearly 10 years.  During this time I have had the opportunity to test many launchers in the field, and I feel WE HAVE A EXCEPTIONAL launch system here.

I’ve seen a lot of remote launchers come and go.  LCS designed a unique bird launcher, being the only launcher capable of working with Innotek, DT Systems, Dogtra and Tri-Tronics remote release electronics.  Also, we recently added a safety pin to prevent accidental launches and an adjustable launch height feature that allows you to have a softer and quieter throw for puppies or young dog, or  adjust the tension for older experienced dogs when you need a good strong launch.

I use and highly recommend the LCS Universal Bird Launcher- it is a great value.

Tritronics Bark Limiter

Reviewed by: Andy Purnell - LCS Telephone Specialist

With a kennel full of Beagles and hounds it can get pretty noisy. I have used quite a few different methods of bark control over the years, but I have the best luck with the bark collars. Of all the bark collars I have used I prefer the Tri-Tronics Bark Limiter. With The Bark Limiters five correction levels, I am in charge of how “hot” or “easy” the correction will be, I do not want him to get a couple barks out before the collar power is strong enough to stop him, I want the dog corrected at the first bark. The Bark limiter also has a bark counter that lets you know if you need to give a higher level. I have found the batteries to last about 18 months. I have heard folks say that a bark collar is no good on hounds, since they naturally bark at pursued game. I have found that to be not true - the bark collar will not affect the hound’s use of mouth on trail.

SportDog SBC10R No-Bark Collar

Reviewed by Gary Laskowsky - LCS Telephone Specialist

Since I have 10 dogs and close neighbors, it’s a must for me to have a
reliable no bark collar.  I’ve used them all,but I’m having very good success
with the Sport Dog SBC10R. I set mine for progressive correction and let ‘er go - it’s almost magic!  No accidential corrections.  The unit is very durable  and rechargable - no worring about replacing batteries.  For me, this is the bark collar of choice.

LCS Day-Glo Tree Tie Lead

Reviewed by: Andy Purnell - LCS Telephone Specialist

I use the LCS Day-Glo Tree Tie Lead when I am running hounds or beagles, it is long enough to comfortably carry over the shoulder. The bright orange color is easy to find when dropped. The “floating” ring and brass snap on the
handle end are invaluable when you need to tie a dog off to free up your
hands. The lead is wide enough to put one of our brass name plates on, so I
am sure to get it back when I lend it to the guy that “left his lead in the
truck”.

LCS Presentation Jaeger Lead

Reviewed by: Brian Parsons - LCS Telephone Specialist

The LCS Presentation Jaeger lead is the most versatile leash I own.
With the small snap attached to the first D-ring I have a traditional 6-foot lead or even a tree tie lead. With the small snap attached to the second D-ring, I have an over-the –shoulder lead that is helpful to reinforce the healing command useful with younger dogs or walking older dogs in high traffic areas.  With the small snap at the third D-ring it becomes a 4-foot lead. No matter how many dog leads I own, I always will have a LCS Presentation Jaeger lead in my truck and kennel.

LCS Latigo Twist Leads

Reviewed by: Gary Laskowsky - LCS Telephone Specialist

The LCS Latigo Twist Lead is sturdy with heavy latigo leather
lead and strong brass snaps.  I found this lead very effective in working on basic obdience or just taking my best friend for a walk.  The durable heavy leather allows quick corrections, and I expect mine to last for years.

LCS Tick Release

Reviewed by: Cathy Carlson - LCS Telephone Specialist

The weather is getting warm and the ticks are very active. The other day I discovered an imbedded tick on my side. I used some of the Tick Release that I keep on hand at home. The tick easily came off without leaving any of it behind. I like to keep a bottle of Tick Release in my training bag and at home.

Fiocchi Ammunition

Reviewed by Jack Sankey- LCS Telephone Specialist

I use three of the four types of Fiocchi Ammunition that we offer here at Lion Country. I have found that the quality, performance and price of this line of ammo cannot be matched.  Before I came to work at Lion Country Supply, I had used virtually all of the major brands of shotgun ammo for my various hunting needs. None will compare with Fiocchi ammunition for value and performance.
My favorite shotgun is a 16 gauge and ammo of this gauge is often not available in many of the other major brands. It is available to me in 3 of the 4 Fiocchi Lines of ammo.
I use the “Game and Target” (GT) load for rabbit hunting.  It has more than enough zap to take rabbits here in our Pennsylvania cover, without mangling the game at closer ranges.
When I go stomping around in the Grouse woods, I grab a box of the “High Velocity” (HV) loads.  These have the knockdown power to help even a lousy shot like me to score on a few of our Pennsylvania “Thunder-Chickens” once in a while.
My Brother-in-Law, Tom, is one of those fanatical crow hunters, and he talks me into going out with him every chance he can.  Those birds are extremely wary and fun to hunt with the right call and set-up.  The problem is that you need a load that can really reach out and “smoke-em”!  My solution to this need is Fiocchi’s “Golden Pheasant” (GP) load. It has the long reach and dense pattern that I need to keep the crow-count up to a respectable level for a day’s hunt.
Try our Fiocchi Ammo for your next day in the field. You won’t be disappointed!
