CouesWhitetail

Sorry for your loss, sounds like a great man and you were lucky to have him in your life.

Very nice of you to offer help and to be sensitive to those that have tags! I hope you get to go out with someone on a hunt!

Lol! Love it!!

Have a great one Doug!!

Congratulations! Did you see many bears during the hunt?

Nice to live in a place with Coues deer!

Thanks everyone! I actually missed the problem posts, but one of the moderators must have taken care of it. So thanks to the moderators! Glad you all enjoy the site. Thank you for your kind comments.

So sorry about your dog. That's terrible. I don't know of any lab for testing, but you can get the plants identified by a botanist and they can tell you if they are poisonous. You could take the plants to an arboretum or a university to get identified. Also there are some websites and facebook pages that specialize in plant or mushroom identification. I imagine most mushrooms are poisonous for dogs, just as they are for people and this is the time of year there are many species of them growing. Even if you find one that is poisonous, you won't be able to tell if your dog ate that particular species, right?

I use it and appreciate it as well! I just wish it could somehow work where I don't have cell service.

Wow! Amazing buck!

What amazing news! I am so happy for Jared and your family. What a blessing!

Thought you all might appreciate seeing this little fawn that my husband and dog almost stepped while doing some owl surveys about a week ago. What a precious little thing! I looked around for a twin, but didn't see one and didn't want to tromp all over the area, so didn't look very hard. No sign of the momma, but I am sure she will be back to feed the fawn later in the morning. What a blessing to see such a new fawn. It sure did it's job of staying perfectly still while we there. Amazing! How many of you have ever come across a newborn fawn?

Very nice!

i was able to open the document, so it seems to be working now.

Thanks for asking....yes, there has been an app for a few years. But I just looked and the number of downloads exceeded the limit, so they disabled it. I will work on getting it going again.... ps, did you send me an email asking the same question? I thought someone had, but I couldn't find it again to reply back....

Wow!! Spectacular!! Thanks for posting it!

Wow!! Impressive! Can't wait to come visit you guys at the new store! Thanks for the CW-only specials!!

Wow, nice fish everyone!

That could be. cool video, thanks for posting it.

Love the photos, thanks for sharing them!

My husband and I checked Workman creek the other day and they were not ripe yet.

I figured the post title would get you guys to open the thread, but it's also the new nickname for our new Catahoula leopard dog we just adopted. We are calling her Maggie, but Paul came up with Hula Girl last night since she is a Catahoula. So we are having fun calling her that. If anyone has a good idea for a name for her, please let us know! She is probably somewhere between 6 and 12 months old. She was given up by her previous owner because apparently he had to move into an apartment that didn't allow dogs. Our neighbor's son and daughter-in-law were fostering her because the shelter had an outbreak of parvo and they wanted to keep her from it. She seems very smart and very sweet! Lots of energy, so we try and run her at least an hour a day with other dogs at the dog park to wear her out some. She can't be trusted off leash yet except in enclosed spaces, but she will learn fast. I have already been working on Sit, Stay and Come and she is learning FAST! We so want to take her camping with us later this week during fieldwork but I am not sure it is safe for her yet since she barely knows us. But when we do get to camp with her I think she will have lots of fun. She already has demonstrated how much she LOVES WATER! The first morning here she crawled into the shower with me and got soaking wet and even let me wash her. Easiest dog bath ever! At the dog park there is a small bucket of water and she will put her two front legs in it and dunk her head in! Very funny to watch! Once we can trust her off lease, we will take her somewhere fun to swim! He toes are webbed almost to the tip! One of the first things she did at our house was dig through the basket of dog toys and pull out a Coues deer antler! Good girl Maggie!! Beautiful, isn't she?

So far she has been really good with food on the counters. She understands the word "No" and generally stops whatever she is doing when we say it. So we are pleased about that. She walks OK on a leash, but still pulls at it some. But definitely not a "hooked trout". She hasn't gotten into the garbage either. So far she is pretty polite in the house, but I can just see that is so smart that it will be hard to keep her brain occupied and keep her willing to obey us. I fixed our underground electric fence so that she isn't tempted to jump into the neighbors yard to see their pitbulls (which I think would tear her up). She got zapped this morning and so has learned to stay away from that area. She seems totally obsessed with other dogs. If she sees one she immediately gets hyper and wants to go play with the dog. She seems to play fine with the dogs, but she won't listen to us if she sees a dog. But then again, it's only been two days and she is still very much "puppy". She is certainly trainable, but obviously willful too. We shall see how it all plays out.

Yes, I can see that this might be possible in her already. I am still hopeful. She is SUPER smart and really keyed into escape things like doors and windows. The other day Paul was out front and she started to climb up my backpack to get to a window that was cracked open. I was amazed! If we can't train her to be OK off leash, then we likely won't be able to keep her. I can see this will be a serious training challenge. She is definitely showing a strong will and intelligence.

Nope, no herding yet, thank goodness.
