Hunting Dog Supplies Reviews

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?.

This story was written by my great grandfather Robert Hamilton 14 years before. I never had the pleasure to meet the man but heard lots of stories about him and no doubt he contributed to my love of hunting and the outdoors. I had to change the dog's name as it isn't politically correct any longer but other than that this is his story as it appeared in the October 1964 Pennsylvania Game News. ~Aaron

My mother did not have a job. Instead, she worked all day at home for free. I had a lot of chores as a kid, but they were all outside'splitting and stacking firewood, starting the fire in the furnace, keeping it going, dumping ashes, cutting the grass, tending the garden and all of those things. In terms of everything else, I was completely spoiled. Heck, I even brought laundry home from college to be cleaned. When I was out of clean clothes, it was time to visit the old homestead!

If ticks were not scary enough already, there is a new tick-borne virus on the rise this year. The Powassan virus, which is rarer than the bacterium that produces Lyme but is far more deadly, is now being spread by the deer tick. The Powassan virus causes inflammation of the brain, which leads to death or permanent disability in 60 percent of cases. So far, the CDC has reported 75 confirmed cases, but this number is predicted to rise as we enter into summer and fall when ticks are more active.

I'm sure any of you who have owned animals throughout your lifetime have witnessed the toll time can take on our four legged friends. The joys of owning a dog can certainly outweigh the heartache you experience once things like arthritis and hip dysplasia set in. All we want to do as a responsible pet owner is fix everything and make it all better for those who we consider members of our family.

Suffice it to say that my wife read that oregano has mild antibiotic-like qualities. The key word is mild. She ended up with antibiotics from the doctor a few weeks later. There is a whole industry around supplements that make you healthy, reverse aging, and augment virility. Most, no doubt, are hokum. There are some, however, that do work. Dasuquin is a joint supplement that I purchase. I sometimes use a similar product, Annamaet Endure. Both relieve arthritis in old dogs, and they are basically Glucosamine Hydrochloride, Methylsulfonylmethane and chondroitin Sulfate. It really helps my older dogs move better, and Rob Downey, who led a nutritional seminar at Lion Country Supply (and is the founder of Annamaet) explained that studies have shown that if utilized for the entire adult life of a dog, chondroitin can add two additional productive years to a working dog's career. That is a lot of rabbits for me or a lot of birds for others.

Step into our warehouse and you'll find the vast selections and quantities of the products we have online and in our catalog. It takes some time to get acclimated to where everything is, but after working here for over a year, I can get you from location A-1 to Z-24 and finding everything in between almost. It's not always easy as there is always something new coming into the warehouse.

As I keyed the microphone on the earpiece to my radio to tell my son that the two 11 month old pups were barking on the coyote I was reminded that it was the first ever coyote track they ever smelled. Being their first time as with all dogs I have trained over the last 50 years, they did have some losses.

On a Friday, I started casually looking at shelter dogs on PetFinder.com. That Monday, I brought Evander home from the Indiana County Humane Society. He's a White German Shepherd/Lab mix and about a year old.

If you have an outside kennel for your dog, and live in northern climes with outside temperatures that go below freezing, then you must have a Lion Country Supply Nelson Water Bucket Heater. Our family used to rotate three LCS Flat Sided Kennel Pails to our Lab's kennel during the winter. One with fresh water in the morning, a second with fresh water in the afternoon, and another trip out in the dark before bedtime with a third bucket of fresh water. The frozen buckets were brought inside until they thawed enough to release their icy blocks. Additional trips outside to dump out the ice blocks, and by winter's end we had amassed a small iceberg in our yard.
