Border Crossing has come out with a revolutionary new bird scent product for training hunting dogs.  Border Crossing’s patented stick formula eliminates all of the messy problems of liquid scent products!  No spills, tip over a bottle of liquid scent and it’s gone.  No leaks, who hasn’t had a stinky bottle of scent leak in a pocket or backpack.  No mess, no matter how careful you are, liquid scent ends up on your fingers (which you smell during lunch).  No preservatives, bottled scent requires preservatives. Border Crossing’s patented stick formula requires no preservatives so you get 100% pure pheasant scent, quail scent, grouse scent, or duck scent! And, it will not break down in temperatures less than 100 degrees.  Won’t wash away, a big advantage of wax is that the scent won’t wash away in rain or dew like liquid scent.  How to use, apply to retriever training dummy and use for training gun dogs retrieving, or make a scent trail by dragging or wiping dummy on ground and hide in cover for the bird dog to find.

When I tested this product, it had been raining all day, and it was still raining.  I coated five training dummies with the pheasant scent and went out to plant them for my bird dogs.  I dropped each dummy on the ground and made about a three foot scent trail from where I dropped it to where the dummy was to be hidden in knee high grass.  I was half soaked when I released a couple of 4 month old German shorthaired  pointer puppies to hunt for the hidden dummies.  Both of the pups found the scent trails and came bounding out of the grass delivering the dummies to hand.  5 dummies, located and retrieved, in the rain, by puppies, enough said, this stuff works!  This is one of those products you’ll say to yourself – “Why didn’t I think of that!”  I call it “speed stick bird scent” because it comes in a deodorant container, its wax based, and just wipes on the dummy coating it with scent that is highly water and dog slobber resistant.  It does cost a little more than traditional liquid bird scent, but the benefits easily make the Border Crossing Bird in a Stick the best dog training tool for the job.    

So do yourself and your bird dog a favor and pick up a Bird in a Stick by Border Crossing from Pointer Supply in your pup’s favorite flavor: Pheasant, Quail, Grouse, or Duck.  I’ve got the rainy day testing out of the way for you….your welcome!
