That makes my legs hurt just thinking about it.

Maybe, but I'm talking about all around ease of ownership. Not particularly performance. I will say though that some of the female pointers I've owned had more performance than I wanted.

No, I have Monrow reservoir, Patoka Lake in my back yard. I'm not very good on the big lakes anyway.

How much snow you all got? I'm in southern Indiana, about an hour north of KY. Looks like around a foot now. Not quitting until around 2 this afternoon. Not going to get above freezing for a couple weeks. That's not going to help the few wild quail we have left!!

I haven't owned a male in years. I built my run on the outside of my garage with the houses on the inside. Within one generation of dogs the two males had big places ate through the tin from piss. Not to mention killing every plant or bush on the corners of the landscape. Not that females won't...

Ugly dog hunting, Foster and smith. Amazon.

My 2nd central Kansas trip didn't go very good as a lot of my well thought out trips go! I had several private places marked from my last trip. The plan was to gain some permission and just use the WIHA's as fillers to get the dogs ran. Before my buddy had even got out of bed the 1st morning, I...

The above-mentioned guy who had a big time in the snow last year, called my hunting buddy last night while I was at his place developing an attack plan for next week. He was on his way out when he got side swiped in St louis! Totaled his truck but him and his dogs are ok! Cops caught the guy...

Nice looking dog. By the looks of that eye, he earned that bird!

The part you are talking about is about as good as any in central Kansas. If your hell bent on hunting WIHA's find a Walmart and hope they have some WIHA maps left. Remember that when you pick the area with the most WIHA a thousand other guys have done the same. Hunting all WHIHA can work fine...

An experienced desert runner once told me to head for the truck when it hits 60.
