We like the rest of the world are going through changes. There are a lot of challenges out there to bring a quality product to our readers and advertisers. But bear with us and we’ll meet those chal- lenges. Our fall Oct/Nov issue is as usual is more bird counts than articles. Just as most of the rest of the year is more articles than bird counts, makes us different than the rest. We now have all our back issues online so if you get bored with bird counts we have hundreds of articles for you. So what do we have in store for you in this issue? First I talk American Water Spaniels with Jane & George Christiansen of Night Hawk Kennels of Vergas, MN, they are in the small group that run the national club and a major breeder of AWS’s. Dave Duffey talks about when to start training our dog. We then offer you an excerpt from the book Urban Gun Dogs By Anthony Z. Roettger & Benjamin H. Schleidler III. Tony is one of the trainers for our dog Scooby who has her Senior Hunter. Next we look at a few reminders for pheasant season and expected opener issues. Then we take a short look at the most common commands many of us use. Then we look at the 125 years of the AKC and the dogs that have risen to the top in popular- ity. Next we look at the latest AKC news and News from the Enemy and good guys camps. And finish this issue with the state news, calendars breeders and less I not forget as always Last Laugh.

  • Lab Handout for Upland Game Bird Identification
    WLF 315 Wildlife Ecology I Lab Fall 2012 Upland Game Bird Identification Goals 1. Learn how to identify upland game bird species. 2. Learn about wing feather nomenclature. 3. Learn relevant sexing and aging techniques for upland game birds. 4. Develop species summaries for each species covered in lab. During the subsequent lab period, you will be given a quiz on upland game bird identification, age, and sex. You may use your species summaries (see below) and other notes (including sketches that you have personally drawn) for the quiz. However, no photos, pictures/drawings, field guides, or other books will be permitted during the quiz. The quiz may consist of PowerPoint slides, study skins, bird parts (e.g., wings, tails, feet), and/or mounted specimens. You may be asked to provide the order, family, subfamily, common name, scientific name, sex, age, and origin (native or introduced) of any specimen. Since you will be allowed to use your notes, spelling counts! Directions View the PowerPoint slides and visit the stations set up in the lab. Use the wings and study mounts at the stations, the upland game bird lab identification manual (available to copy from Bill), and resources such as bird field guides to compile species summaries. Test yourself by first identifying/classifying the samples at each station and then check the tag to determine if your notes are sufficient to help you in the lab quiz. Species Summaries Prepare summaries as flashcards, tables, bulleted lists, or whatever you prefer. You should have a summary for each of the species on the attached checklist of species.

This research was funded by a special grant from the Leopold Center for Sustainable Agriculture, Game-bird preserve alternative-enterprise models: Soil and water conservation and value-added income diversification. This publication is available split into four sections. Information about the grant, and a copy of each section, can be found online at: www.leopold.iastate.edu/grants/xpsp2012-db Contents of complete guide Part One: Introduction to Preserve Hunting Part Two: Creating a Great Business Part Three: Profiles of Successful Preserves Part Four: Enterprise Budgets and Additional Information 1 Game-Bird Preserve Business Development Guide Part One: Introduction to Preserve Hunting Just a note about me and the challenge of writing about this subject: I have written a lot about preserves, visited them and presently am an active member-client. I have never run one but have been involved in many other areas of marketing and agri-business development. Please consider the following a loose collection of ideas and guidelines for developing practices that work for your business. I encourage you to review your operation and to take a minute to look over the many business-development topics listed in the Additional Resources section of this publication. I like hunting preserves and have a family membership for the exact same reason that most people have one: I love working my dog and having a quality outdoor experience with family and guests.
