I've always been told pointing dogs should be within feet to pin down the bird. He points from 20 or more yards out. The main problem is when he goes on point I go and flush the bird but I can't find it probably because it is running. But the dog won't move up on the bird and the bird runs off...

The dog I was talking about was an english setter. He ussaly points birds 20 yards at minimum or more out. I just got a new pup last year (GWP) and was able to get her out late last season. She pointed a wounded bird that my English setter pointed and he was at least 30 yards back and she was...

I have a dog that often points at birds that are far off. Or, if the bird starts running he won't move up unless you keep calling him and he only moves a little bit. Is there any way of fixing that? He has been hunting for 3 years now, so bird exposure hasen't fixed it. A professional trainer...

Hi, my dad and I were out pheasant hunting in north west Wisconsin on Saturday for 5 hours and only saw one hen. We hunted our best spots and had seen many pheasants this spring turkey hunting. Did anyone else see very low bird numbers? I know the bird numbers aren't great but last year we must...

Hi, how are the huns numbers in northern Iowa? The road side surveys say they are good but is it worth going a little out of my way to target them while pheasant hunting? Also I know the road side surveys say all the quail are in the southern part of the state. But has anyone seen and with in a...

Hi, I saw that vermillion highlands opens in December and I was wondering if the bird numbers are any good and how bad the hunting pressure is on opener? I saw a post on here from 2008 that said the numbers were low because of high predator numbers, is that still true? Thanks!

I use #2 shot in steel. Yep already got glasses and can see great with them. Just a bad shot!

I usually use modified and improved modified with lead. If birds are getting up further out I use improved modified and full. If I'm required to use lead I use improved cylinder and modified. Is that not restricted enough? I heard you can use steel in Carlson choke tubes up too full. Would that...

Hi, I've been pheasant hunting a few year now and have been having a hard time hitting birds. I've been hunting Iowa and WI with my dad and seen alot of roosters but we can't hit them. And when I finally did hit one it was wounded and ran off. My dog is a English setter and doesn't retrieve...
