I have an English setter and a Pointing Lab. They hunt differently and do work together, but I find they each work better alone. I also enjoy it more, less to think about and I can just focus on the dog and how I want to work the field. It's also nice to not have both dogs on different birds and...

No, kinda the opposite. I was just trying to be funny and apparently failed.

They look more like bottom shelves......

I'm not opposed to fat, but the fat I missed on my last bird cleaning made the meat taste nasty. I do go pretty light on seasonings so that may be why I notice the flavor change so strongly.

Genetically they are the same dog, the difference is what stud book their parents come from. The German(Kurzhaar) breeding standards are more defined and have been rigidly maintained going way back, keeping a more uniform standard. The same principle applies to the Deutsch Drathhaar / German...

Fat like that is good for the birds, but from a culinary standpoint that is almost repulsive.

I've seen several coveys in places I didn't see last year. As posts have said South is better, I'm in central but I have heard west is better than east but that's second hand. Check the woody cover near smaller grass plots.

Those days that start iffy and wind up with limits are the best. Maybe not during the hunt, but when you had to work for the full vest, nothing quite matches that feeling. Waaaay better than a 30 minute limit IMO.

As posted in a different thread, different parts of the state have different weather/temps. I'm pretty McFarmer is up in the NW part of the state, they got more snow and are colder in general. The central and southern areas got very warm yesterday. Des Moines reached 47 and where I am south of...

Doesn't compare to the old ones, The 1950's models are best...

I wouldn't have guessed so much difference across the state.
