How wore was the key? Sometimes the problem lies in the key itself. It’s a relatively common problem, it’s usually the lock. It’s not hard to fix if you have patience, but you will be spending some time at the dealership to get a new one. > thanks > Bryan

Response:
Do you have an AutoZone? You need a new ignition switch (cylinder) around 10 – 15 bucks and you can borrow the steering wheel puller and spring compressor from them. They make you leave a deposit, but all is cheerfully refunded upon return of the tools. Its a pretty straight forward job.

I had the same problem with a 93 Ford Aerostar, too. Same fix. Get the steering wheel puller. replace the lock ignition cylinder– I did it on a 85 Ford F250 and one of these days I’ll get around to the Aerostar that I gave to my Ex. Not much chance its the switch (that got loose) on the steering column on Fords. Tippy

Response:
The best method is slow continuing kindness and food. If you don’t have time for that, the federal animal damage control office (at least in our area) has live traps that they sometimes loan out to landowners with cat or dog problems. As the dog sounds quite large, you would need some professional assistance for sure to load and unload the animal once trapped. By then the dog would be frightened and possibly aggressive. Other methods are better if you have the time. Before you buy.

Thank you all so much for the suggestions on catching this dog. I am almost positive that it is a great prynese (I know I spelled that wrong! sorry) I have been going out with food and water and sitting very still, talking in the soft voice, etc. The dog is smart, and waits and watches from a field behind the house. The house is locked, the guy that owns it doesn’t want it left unsecure. It is a rental house. But the basement door is open, I have been leaving the food and water by that door so that the dog can see it has a place to go to get out of the weather. A tranqulizer gun is out of the question, because in this state you have to be lisenced to use one. Animal control is helping us with this now, hopefully she can catch the dog! This dog is very loyal to his home, cant believe the owners just left it to fend for itself! Thank all of you for the suggestions!!!

Response:
Lay out some food in a distance from you (spread it out). At first you may have to leave before the dog will take it. Try to get the dog comfortable with it just getting closer at this point (even if it is just a touch closer). If you work slowly you may convince the dog over a period of time that you are no threat. Continue to sit, but stay far away. Actually capturing the dog could take a long time and be risky to put hands on. Hopefully, it will come to be accepting enough of you to take the food you offer at a distance (so it will not die). If at anytime you frighten the dog by being too impatient to win his trust, you will need to start over at ground 0. If it is imperative the dog be captured and it is a male, use bitch-in- heat scent (a local breed club can probably help you with that, give you a swab). Have a professional do the actual capture if you have to resort to this. It does sound like the dog is a Great Pyrenese, Kuvas, or maybe an Akbash, or one of the other types of large white flock guardian dogs. Good luck. – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text -> I recently had a woman come by my house to tell me that a family had > moved 2 weeks ago and left a dog behind.

Caren Sounds like it might be a Gr.Pyranees or Kuvasz so maybe their Rescues could bring over a similar dog and hope this one might follow along so someone could catch him. Dogs do seem to recognize those of similar breeds. Liz

You are obviously stressed out about something but your not sure what. Don’t worry because we can all be like that, its just some poeple manage to handle it better than others. Drinking is not an option as you well know it. If you have friends, go out and interact with them. You will only make yourself worse if you start to spiral like that and no one will be able to help you out of it but yourself. A doctor can prescribe drugs and hormonal inducment but I really feel that this will not help the underlying issue that you have. I think the best thing you can do is surround yourself with good friends and family, and have a really good talk with someone. Don’t feel on your own though. Good Luck

I have a question in regards to the scoring of a typical whitetail…..I shot a nice 10 pointer last November and would like to get a rough idea of the score. My question is this, The G2 and G3 points are webbed together of the main beam and go about 8 inches up and than fork out. (on both sides). How do you score that? does it get scored as a 10 or an 8 ?? if you would like to see a picture you can click here. http://www.execpc.com/~zultar/pic3.htm any help is appreciated. thanks Tom Visit the rec.hunting and rec.hunting.dogs FAQ Home Page at: http://sportsmansweb.com/hunting/

Hi Tom, Looking at your photo, I would call your deer a 5×5, but score it as a 4×4 with the point you are calling G3 on both sides being classed as abnormal and therefor a deduction. (typical scoring) "Abnormal points are those non-typical in location (such as points originating normal pattern of points" "To be counted a point, the projection must be at least one inch long, with the length exceeding width at one inch or more of length" and coues’ deer. I’m no pro at this, just my opinion, and for some reason I assume your deer was taken with a rifle. Have a look at: www.boone-crockett.org they have their score charts available there to print out with instructions, If you don’t already have them.

I think that you would have to score the one side of the forks a an abnormal point where the fork is, I am not sure that made sense. Visit http://www.boone-crockett.org/ Visit the rec.hunting and rec.hunting.dogs FAQ Home Page at: http://sportsmansweb.com/hunting/

I have a question in regards to the scoring of a typical whitetail…..I shot a nice 10 pointer last November and would like to get a rough idea of the score. My question is this, The G2 and G3 points are webbed together of the main beam and go about 8 inches up and than fork out. (on both sides). How do you score that? does it get scored as a 10 or an 8 ?? if you would like to see a picture you can click here. http://www.execpc.com/~zultar/pic3.htm any help is appreciated. thanks Tom Visit the rec.hunting and rec.hunting.dogs FAQ Home Page at: http://sportsmansweb.com/hunting/

Hi Tom, Looking at your photo, I would call your deer a 5×5, but score it as a 4×4 with the point you are calling G3 on both sides being classed as abnormal and therefor a deduction. (typical scoring) "Abnormal points are those non-typical in location (such as points originating normal pattern of points" "To be counted a point, the projection must be at least one inch long, with the length exceeding width at one inch or more of length" and coues’ deer. I’m no pro at this, just my opinion, and for some reason I assume your deer was taken with a rifle. Have a look at: www.boone-crockett.org they have their score charts available there to print out with instructions, If you don’t already have them.
