c.o.b. Collar clinic is in traverse city which is about 30 minutes from me, we went in the next morning. The guy went over the whole unit with my wife ( I am illiterate on most mobile devices The collar clinic is in most bird dog type magazine advertising. If your in the area, it is helpful to go in so they can explain the most basic functions at least. It took me a long time and like I said there are many more things I don't know yet.

A friend, who was grouse hunting, slipped, fell,and cracked his head. Paralyzed, he lay on the ground until he heard another hunting group approaching with a dog's bell.. He began to hollar, and the other group found him. Turns out, the other hunters were an ER doc and an EMT. What are the odds? They handled him properly and he's back up again, altho he's had to give up grouse hunting. He's trying to sell the gun he was carrying that day. Anyone need a M1100 28 gauge?

My son in Florida has a 6 month old GSP “Oscar” that I fell in love with over a Christmas visit. He plans on quail hunting him down there in the winter and wants me to bring him up north for grouse and woodcock in the early fall. I have always ran a bell and beeper with my DD, but I think for Oscar we will run a bell and I will most likely break down and get him a garmin gps collar. They have awesome features, and I will have the peace of mind that I won’t loose him when We are up in northern Michigan.

BigD,
I think your guy was really fortunate, good for him. A friend of mine took his year old brittany out in 2016, opening day, he fell and broke his leg and had to drag himself back to his car. Heff, are you hunting in the upper peninsula, or northern lower? I am in Kalkaska. |

Hello Ed,
I live in Ohio, but hunt in and around the Lewiston area. My long time hunting buddy has a nice place up there and we are up nearly every weekend during the season. Chad Hefflinger

ED I'm in Mt Pleasant and am familiar with the Collar Clinic. My Dogtra two dog collar came from them. It's due for a rebuild and I'll get that done closer to bird season. It will be a spare collar. I talked to them over the phone but as I'm technology challenged I'll make a trip up there.
John your friend was lucky, very lucky. A shooting buddy from Marquette fell in his driveway going to get the mail. He was knocked unconscious and froze to death.

Heff - Lewiston is about 20 minutes north of our cabin. If you haven't tried it, try the "Villager" for Breakfast, and obviously Tally's for a burger and beer. The Lewiston Sportsman's League is a great sporting clays course. I also organize a fundraiser shoot in the latter part of August for a Conservancy which I serve on. I will post a notice here as we get closer to the date

BigD, I just realized who you are Thanks for all your help and phone calls, I would like to come over to the sporting clays you have in lewiston sometime. When I get a sxs, I will contact you. Since I haven't hunted in 40 years, I bet I will get a few spots
