1  HOG & DOGS / GENERAL DISCUSSION / Tapatalk on: February 12, 2025, 07:50:23 am
Is anyone else having problems with the Tapatalk app on your phones?

When I try to view anything in the Forums, it's telling me, " You are not logged in or you do not have permission to do this action".  (it's showing me logged in, so maybe it has something to do with permissions.)

It's only that way on my phone; I can still view like normal on my computer...

Yeah T-dog, he said that's the only thing that happened in super slow motion that he had no control over.

We got 4-5" in Longville, Louisiana. And my boy learned a few things about driving in the snow.

Reuben, did you get a trailer like the one you mentioned? If so, how is it holding up?

Really nice.... the case is awesome too.... We may start seeing "Cajun Cutlery" in Bass Pro Shop and Cabela's before too long.

Yeap, ole Buckshot is showing the signs of an early starter. Starting this week, he will be learning how to ride the bikes and boxes and walk him into some bays, then go from there.

My yard dogs have taught him to "hunt" and now he hits the woods without them when he is let out the kennel. Hopefully, we just have to hone him in on the targeted species.

Thanks, Slim, for entrusting in me with this pup.... I'll do my best to give him every opportunity to excel.

BPC 157 is supposed to help with joints and quicken the healing process of the body in general. I had check into using it, but I couldn't find a dosage ratio.

I did talk to a veterinarian and an ER doctor about it. Neither had heard about BPC 157, but they did briefly research it. Based on what they researched, both said it would not hurt to try it.

That looks nice, looking forward to seeing the finished product.

About that water temp - Generally, my dogs would lose weight in the summer, and I noticed they would not finish their food.  I had chalked that up to hunting and the heat. One year I got to noticing, my dogs drinking so much water out of the mud holes, they could not stay in a race. At first, I thought it was the water hose, that connected the header for the waterers and the faucet, giving the water a bad taste. So, I replaced the water hose with PVC, and the same thing happen. When I started checking the waterers for flow, I realized the water was really hot. I used old trampoline mats and shade clothes for a while, but they only hold up so long. I finally built a roof over the kennels a few months ago.... like I had originally planned to do 10 years ago.

I changed out my old blue barrels for some food grade 58 gallon barrels. They hold hay and shaving really well because of their shape. I found them on the Facebook Market place for $25.

When I was a kid, I got excited about Christmas because of all the presents....

When I started having kids, I got excited about Christmas because giving the kids presents....

Now, I actual get excited for the reason for the season, celebrating the birth of Jesus.......

AND it means that deer season is coming to an end really quick! and those little soldiers in the kennels can declare war and take back the land!

MERRY CHRISTMAS to All!

I have used them for years and wouldn't do it any other way. In 10 years, I can only remember changing one. I even use them in the hog pens.

The low point drains and block valves are very helpful.  After a few times of forgetting to drain the lines and the lines froze and broke, I switched from PVC to PEX. The PEX may freeze but it won’t break (at least in our Louisiana winters).

Be mindful of the water lines and waterers being in the direct sun. When the water heats up on those 100º days the dogs won’t drink it (the water gets really hot). And regular pipe insulation does not work for keeping the water cool, it would get just as hot and then hold the heat longer into the night. 

I have concrete kennels with barrels, and I’m thinking about adding a wooden platform, so the dogs have an option. As far as a mat, I have found anything flat on the concrete collects all the nastiness imageable between the it and the concrete, which adds time to the cleaning process.

One thing I do wonder about is, how hard is the concrete on the dog’s joints? I know there is a big difference between walking on concrete all day versus walking on the ground.

I can smell that from here.....I hope everyone has a Merry Christmas.

Thanks for the info. I will definitely carry a back up.

Has Garmin acknowledged the problem?

I will be using TT-15, are there problems using the TT-15 with the 300?

Thanks T-dog, Semmes, and WOW.......I prefer the style of dog y'all are describing, but if someone would have asked me why I prefer that style of dog, all I would have said was they seem to be more athletic and have more leverage.  The way y'all explained it makes sense to me.

What does the short neck tattle tell on?

You're right about being overpriced.... I've have always bought used equipment, but my company gave me a few good gift cards, so I went for it and bought a new one.

I know we used to hunt without them, but man I sure like the technology!

I'm upgrading from a 100 to a 300.....Any pro and cons? likes or dislikes? helpful hint?

Sorry for the multiple post of the same thing. The posts are not showing up on my computer screen for some reason, but I just checked my phone, and they are there.....It must be some kind of conspiracy....lol
