    Yeah that’s fine. Sometimes, I like to walk into the bunches of sections of WIHA and cover it in one push. That can be a couple of hours away from the truck. To each his own.

    No dogs? No need to carry water in western KS? I have no shoulder problems (yet) but I don’t have to remove the Final Rise or the Chief Upland to load birds. When you start adding shells and/or bird where is the weight of the browning focused?

    Thanks. I hang the 550 off of a d-ring on the outside. I like to have quick access to it.cant feel anything from there.

    It depends. Looks like the bird n lite the weight rests on your shoulders. If you don’t mind that, then it should be fine. The up side of Chief upland, final rise, and kuiu (and others) is that they ar backpack style with synch waist belts to put the weight on your waist and not your shoulders...

    Awesome, thank you. IF I can get my pups to point wild birds it would be helpful to know when they do.

    Careful out there.

    Hunted today for the last time this season with my 2 GSPs, 2.5 yr old male and 11 month old female. Finally put one in the bag near the Nebraska border NE of Holyoke. We had one more corner to hit on the way to the truck. Both dogs locked on point so I started over to flush. Before I got close...

    I have used a final rise this year and I love it. I had a Chief Upland and l liked it but even though you can load birds from the front, unbuckling the top waist strap to load them was a hassle. One more for the final rise.

    Does anyone run this combo. What I’m looking for is point notification on the watch, because the controller vibrating does no good unless you are holding it. Kinda hard to hold the controller and be ready to fire also. Can the watch be set up to vibrate on your wrist like the controller vibrates?

    Training grounds

    NE Colorado, near to Commerce City/Brighton if I can. Anyone on here have some land worthy of training and a place to put a pigeon coop and take care of some pigeons?

    Names

    My wife and I are bringing home our second GSP in late April. Our current boy’s name is Metro and we really like the name Maeve for our girl we’re getting. Has anyone here ever had a problem with a couple dogs names beginning with the same letter? I think the full names are different enough and...

    Garmin vs Sport dog Tek series

    Gotcha, thanks for the input. I hadn’t done enough research to find the pro 550. Looks like enough of a tracker for me. Mainly just need to be able to find the pups in cover.

    Thank you. I take it that’s 38 from the bed, and not the bed rail? I’ll see if I can find his video.
