I have in the past hooked a Garmin collar to a regular collar to make it long enough to fit around a shoats body and turned it loose in a small block surrounded by county roads.  First time I usually give the hog a 2 min head start. But that is just with young pups first time or 2. After that I usually give 30 mins or more. I like to make my pups use their nose young. It is neat to watch the hog and young dogs on Garmin at same time. Have a good dog in truck incase pups can't get your collar back and duck tape around it to protect it from when ur young dogs bite it. Mine like to bite anything they can get their teeth on.

I may be moving to the Roswell area for a 2 year job and was trying to see if anyone hunted the area and I would like to find a couple good guys to hunt with. I am from AL and have a few good dogs. any info about the area or contacts will be helpful. Thanks

the male that bred her 2 heats ago that made my 9 month pups had never been bred but she took, next heat i bred her to an older male that has been bred multiple times, i have bred heats in a row many times before. they drop the eggs regardless when they come in heat, unless they have problems. i have raised pups for years and keep my gyps healthy and wean pups early. i have never had issues until now. my main question was has anyone had any hereditary issues with gyps not taking and or does taking them to vet for hormone level checks and AI to get the timing perfect really increase the chances. thanks

I have a 5 year old gyp. she has had 2 previous litters. one litters pups are 27 months old and the other 9 months old. i tried to breed her last heat and she had false pregnancy. her mom had issues as she got older about not taking when i tried to breed her(last 3 times she didnt take but she was 8 or 9+). i just bred her again about 3 weeks ago and i was just wondering if anyone has had any hereditary problems or anything. and if it was worth it to take to vet if she doesnt take this time to get hormones tested and AI next heat. every litter off her and her mom would br well worth the money, i just have never had any experience with that and asking for info. thanks

concrete is about 100$ per yard depending on psi, fiber and location. but i usually figure roughly 100$ a yard when i do something around the house. if the only load bearing walls are external just figure a footing around exterior, about 23 foot of a 8" deep by 12" wide footing below 4" slab depth is 1 yard and for the slab 84 sq. ft. is a yard if poured 4" deep. if you pay to have it poured you can about figure labor will be close materials so just figure double. also if ground is somewhat unlevel or you want it raised up higher you may have to pour a footer and lay a block stemwall and backfill to get level desired. i have built plent of auto centers 4" thick as long as ground underneath is sound and compressed properly and you cut enough joints you shouldnt have any trouble. but as stated above a lil over kill wont hurt. bigger exterior footings and a 6" slab would be a lil overkill in my opinion and i dont know how tight with money you are but you get the idea. all depends on building type and really load of vehicles being used on it, plus carlifts, metal post, interior load bearing walls, etc. may require other footings inside.

those 22r timing chain tensioners go out often after 100000 mile or so some last twice that. then the plastic guides shatter and cause some noise and chain to cover noise. if it jumped a tooth or 2 and was ran long while running rough it could have caused valve damage, or wore the timing cover thin and may need replaced. there are dots on both sprokets. just get a new timing set( chain, tensioner, and guides) . about as stated above just set to TDC number one piston and line dots up and you should be set. you will most likely have to fine tune timing but shoudnt be a hard fix.
