First solve the heat question. If she is coming in no male is going to hunt while she is around.

If heat is not the issue, and your dog has only been hunted alone he is not used to the distraction of another dog. Try aclimating the two dogs to each other well before taking them hunting. Kennel them up together for a couple hours before the hunt and I'll bet the issue will go away.

Precisely the reason I have females. I never have to worry about this issue. If they come in to season no big deal they still go in the woods or the blind with me. never have to worry about them leaving the yard in search of the love scent or bolting because of it.

My guess is that maybe your buddies dog was close to coming in or was in the process of going out.

GOOD LUCK during your hunting season and BE SAFE!!!!

I went hunting with a buddy and all my male lab wanted to do was follow around his female.

At least he's got it right. Last year my male lab found another male lab that he became rather fond of. He was much more interested in humping that dog than hunting...at least until the birds started getting up.

I just studded my male out and had the female along with for a quick run to find some birds. My male didn't try a thing when we were in the field chasing roosters and we were out there for around 35-45 minutes. It was just a quick run through a field in city limits that you can't shoot on. It holds birds so it's nice to have to take the dogs on runs to get some scent and a little work. He had bred her earlier in the day so that may have had somehting to do with it. I guess my dog may have a better idea of how to sepaerate work from play.

      New boat question

      By Wanderer · Posted

      As a recovering machinist, I can appreciate that.  If the spec is 0.001 - 0.0015, then clearly the correct measurement is 0.00125, duh…

      I just figured that it is easy enough to just get a 3 bank so when the boat is not in use I can keep all 3 batteries charged. I have not bough a charger yet, maybe I will give it some more thought. Edit: After thinking this over, with the size, weight, and heat output of the charger (as well as the cost) I think it makes sense to just buy a 2 bank charger, I have a smaller charger i can use on the starting battery when the boat is sitting at home. Forgive me, for i am a retired engineer and I have to obsess over everything...

      Congrats on the motor!  I think you’ll like it.   I can’t say much on the charger location but I’ve seen them under the lid in back compartments and under center rod lockers.  160 degrees is more than I expected to hear.   Curious why you’re opting for a 3 bank charger with a 24V trolling motor.  Unless you don’t feel you be running you big motor enough to keep that battery up as well?

      I did buy an Minnkota Ulterra, thanks for the recommendations. I had a bunch of Cabela"s bucks saved up, which helped. Now i need to get an onboard battery charger. Where do you guys mount these things in your boat? The manufacturer I am looking at {Noco genius) says tht their 3-bank charger will run at 160 degrees, seems like a lot of heat in an enclosed compartment? Thanks for any input on this.

      You're very lucky a troop of Sea Monkey's didn't carry you away.

      Wasn't terrible at a state park beach. Antelope island maybe.  I wouldn't recommend it as a beach destination tho.  Figured I was there, I'm getting in it.

      The water looked and smelled disgusting with hundreds of thousands of birds sh*tting in there.  About as gross as the Salton Sea. When I duck hunted there I didn't even want to touch the water.

      It's kinda gross with the algae in the summer but I got in it anyway.  Wanted to see the increased bouyancy at work.  You can kinda tuck yourself into a ball and you'll just float with your head above water.  When dry off you look diamond encrusted with the salt.

      We went to the flats too. I dipped a tire on the rental car onto it just to say I’ve been there,but it was still pretty soft from winter melt. After seeing some moron in a BMW suv get dragged out of the muck I had no intention of repeating his stupidity.

      I've been out on the flats. It's like being on a different planet
