If you would care to share , how did this get settled?

Perfection Kennels.

If you do hunt tests that means someone is putting them on and someone will have pigeons. Quail probably aren't anymore expensive and waaay better eating.

So he also tells of driving a mile out of town in the 50s and having a limit of maybe 7 birds which could include 2 hens? That would be shooting not hunting is what I always told him. My folks got married in 59 and went pheasant hunting on their honeymoon. Mom got 2 birds with 1 shot and loved...

My dad was born in 1933. He tells about harvesting his first pheasant from their garden. He was running around with a net and the hired man asked what he was doing? Trying to catch a pheasant they are always in the garden. The hired man told him no you need corn on a fish hook. Well dad put 3...

I have found 2 things out about vests.... 1. Most are made for anything but hunting wild pheasants. 2. Try them on as a player maybe a xl in Taiwan but it doesn't work here with a thin sweatshirt underneath. 3. Shell loops are promoted by the shell industry as they are the best way to lose...

I am glad she isn't gunshy. I never thought she was my point is gunshy is very hard to cure but done properly with many birds it is possible. If that can be cured with many birds so can other things.

Only 63 and somewhat hunt conditioned but 2 hours in the cattails and willows and I was gassed.

It takes birds to make a bird dogs. Some dogs need way more birds then others. PK uses lots of birds/bird contacts to get dogs over gunshyness. In your case start out with birds in light cover and keep increasing the cover until the dog is hunting close because of how heavy the cover is. As...
