It’s this, doesn’t really have a name other than maybe “that squirrel dish.”

My daughter and I can't shoot enough squirrels to keep up with the family demand for that recipe. .

One method is to toss him the retriever dummy and when he runs out to pick it up, start running away from him. His instinct will be to chase you. When he gets close stop, get a hold of him and praise the heck out of him for delivering to hand.

Another method would be to use a check cord to show him exactly what you want.

It all depends on his age and how ingrained that bad habit is.

I’ve always started retriever training very young with my labs. Soon after they recognize their name, which is about nine weeks old, early training starts.

One thing I’ve always done is to use the hallway in our home as a retrieval lane. Me and the pup would sit at one end, I toss the dummy to the other end, the pup would go pick it up and start running back and he couldn’t get by me. I would stop him, take the dummy from him, and praise the heck out of him for delivering to hand. Labs are pretty intelligent, at least most of them are. They pick up stuff really quickly and I rarely had to use much
force to get them to do what I want them to do.

From the very beginning you want to get them excited about retrieving.

My observations from trapping, studying and teaching about otters is as follows, remember this is for south Louisiana:

Old bait don't work.

Pocket sets for mink and coons will catch them, but it is mainly due to curiosity, not hunger.

Mink glad lure and bobcat glad lure will attract a otter.

Bucket sets work wonders on otters. I normally put some fish oil, bobcat glad lure and tie a wad of feathers or something along those lines in the bucket. They just can't help themselves, they have to stick their head in the bucket or box. A wooden box with rat wire covering the back will pull them. They love to check out a box they can see through.

Mink flagging works on otters as does lots of duck feathers. It gets them fired up.

But what do I know? If it works for you great, if not it doesn't.





Great response thank you. The area I trap, their buffet is more limited to fish only. I’ve been dreaming up a submerged bucket set for them. By law by conibears have to be completely submerged. I’ve thought about lining the inside of the buckets with reflective foil tape for visual curiosity as well as adding flagging above the submerged bucket.

Training question for you. My pup likes to retrieve but he wants me to chase him for whatever he has. How do I brake him from this?

Does anybody remember the original Monopoly Game had a community chest card that you had inherited your Uncle_ _ _ _ _'s Skunk Farm? So apparently skunk farms were a thing at one time.

I know of any Oregon trapper who spoke of having spent a summer catching skunks and penning them (back when he was a kid I think in South Dakota), feeding them and then pelting them in the late fall. He made out good.

Dad gum Flint, you got the fox squirrel out yonder.
We used to have a lot more. There’s still plenty, but the greys outnumber them a bunch.

people can kill people without guns, BUT, guns can not kill people without people.

Other human lives.

Don't forget the cops that were assaulted by the rioters that day. And they wanted to hang Mike Pence for doing his job.

so the difference between legally killing someone is an eighth inch glass panel?

I’ve been training labs for going on 50 years now saskbone. And you’re right, it’s not hard or time-consuming. You just have to be willing to be consistent and educate yourself on proper methods.

Congrats on getting meat with your crossbow, however, shooting any animal from your kitchen would hardly qualify as hunting. Harvest might be a better word.

that's BS, and you know it. if they had constructed an ACTUAL, functioning gallows (rather than the effigy-esque one the mainstream media/progressives tout) then "maybe".

effigies have been considered legitimate Freedom of Speech protests for centuries. until of course, they were used against the Deep State on January 6.
