Puppies can come pretty easy. I know a guy that was handling a female beagle for his friend at a field trial (in licensed beagle field trials the females do not run with the males). She was due to go in the field to determine the winner that day. The owner's friend put the female on a tie out stake awaiting winners' pack, and soon thereafter he put his own male on an adjacent stake.

One of the first jobs you have when training a hunting dog is to make sure he or she is not gun shy. Hunting dogs are smart creatures. But they are also sensitive - their hearing is a lot more acute than ours. Dogs can hear sounds that are higher and softer than we ever can. Your dog can hear various frequencies at more than twice the range that you can.

My wife is more sophisticated than I am. Granted, this is as obvious as a horsefly on a powdered donut hole to anyone that knows me. You see, my wife, Renee, travels a lot for her work at the university. She has been to Disney more than all of my relatives combined, because that is where academic conferences tend to occur. Well, she has also been to Vegas more than a career gambler too. Sin City is another popular destination for her work conferences. She is also a big fan of trying new things at our local restaurants too.

Pennsylvania has been without any truly wild pheasant for several years. With a hunter's only option to see a pheasant was in areas that were stocked. This will finally come to an end this fall. Wild birds will be hunted in limited numbers inside WPRA (Wild Pheasant Recovery Areas) this year.

Gunnar is a Lion Country Supply fan and we are a fan of his! "The first time I ever busted a clay pigeon was at a family friend's camp. After shooting a couple boxes, they started asking me if I shot regularly and if I was part of my local 4-H Club Shooting Team.

How long can ticks live in your house?
The length of time ticks can live in your house varies by species. Some ticks will die in as little as 8 hours, while others can live for days and even lay eggs. According to Orkin, the Brown Dog tick can lay eggs indoors and their eggs can hatch, to then attack small house pets. For reference, Brown Dog ticks are ticks without any white markings on them.

My family and I have a little, cozy cabin up in northern Pennsylvania that we really enjoy going to as often as we can. We see different kinds of wildlife on our drive there and at the camp too. We can see bear, different kinds of birds, as well as other wildlife.
When we head out for camp, we always hope to see bear. When we do see bear, it is exciting to watch their behaviors. We have seen a mother bear with her cubs, bear climbing into garbage dumpsters, and bear walking through our field. We originally thought you would have to be quiet to see bear, but we quickly learned that they could emerge from the woods at any time of day or night regardless of what we are doing. We can be outside working or playing or sitting by the fire, and a bear can show up. The bear have been even treating themselves to my bird feeders, which I now put away at night.

Today marks the fourth year since the passing of Buddy. We got Buddy when I was only 8 years old and he was my best friend growing up. Being an only child in a single parent family, where my dad worked 10 hour days and had two hour of computing left me only with Buddy for most of the day. He was a mixed dog that we rescued from the humane society. They were unable to tell us what he was mixed with or anything else about him. The owners dropped him and several of his brothers and sisters off at the front door of the humane society in a box with a note reading, "lease take care of these dogs, we are unable to afford to feed them?.
