    German Wirehaired Pointers vs other pointing breeds??

    I agree with this. My setter is all about birds guess that’s why they call them bird dogs. When he go for our daily walks she is always hunting. The woodcock have moved out now so her focus has shifted. She knows to leave the deer alone because I have trained her to . She knows to leave the...

    German Wirehaired Pointers vs other pointing breeds??

    They can be really good dogs. They can also be troublesome. In this part of the country Michigan, they are known to hunt porcupine coon, run deer. I’ve hunted with some really good ones and I’ve spent half a day chasing the dog around. Not an expert by any means just my experience. They call...

    Spring break 2….

    I’ve had my cell since I was 19. I don’t drive but I keep it because it’s so hard to get one now. My motor home is a Freightliner chassis with a house on the back. I started driving in the mid 70s. Hauling boats with an international transtar cab over, no ac no power steering. 18 speed road...

    Spring break 2….

    I used to listen to road dog a lot. Then they fired Kevin Rutherford he was the best host on the channel. He got a little carried away one day and kind of promoted a trucker protest in dc. He said something about rolling big rigs into dc and blocking traffic maybe a little more aggressive than...

    2026 Upland is out for us.

    I pay a Canadian fly in fishing lodge $1200 for basically 2.5 days of catch and release fishing. That includes flying in and out,room 3 nights 3 meals plus a boat and gas. It’s nothing fancy no internet or tv. All off grid. I think it’s a great deal with the current exchange. Why should...

    Nail trimming??

    I have a trimmer with a little gauge on it and a grind stone. I take her over to the daughter’s house . My oldest granddaughter is going to Michigan state to become a vet. I let them handle it. She will sit fine for them and let them do it. Just me it would be a side show.

    2026 Upland is out for us.

    In Michigan training or running dogs is prohibited April 15 to July I believe 15 as well. Public private both. Give the young birds fawns,bunnies,ducks,bears whatever a chance to grow up a little. Good time to fish.

    Getting Down to Brass Tacks

    How’s that grand slam coming bob? Maybe you could focus your energy on planning that out for next season instead of preaching to others about how they enjoy our sport. I read your posts and in my mind I think amateur yet you seem to think you have it all figured out. I started out hunting the...

    SDGFP Nest Predator Program for 2026

    I think it has been argued that coyotes are a net positive for bird numbers because they prey on the nest raiders. I can’t recall the last time I saw one in the field while hunting. I’m usually alone and they probably slip out long before I am aware. I find the occasional pile of feathers but...

    Spring Break ‘26

    How are the ticks this time of year? I walk the dog daily here and the ticks are everywhere right now. I found 7 on the dog after an hour walk and she has a seresto collar on. These ticks we have here now are morphing into super ticks. They can handle cold weather water anything. They say...

    Switch guns throughout the season or stick with one primary firearm? How do you determine which one to take?

    when a gun doesn't fit you properly you are actually fighting the gun to get it to work. When it does fit you properly its point and shoot, an extension of your arm. Think of a race car driver with a car that is not balanced. You hear them talk about drifting and fighting in the corners...

    Switch guns throughout the season or stick with one primary firearm? How do you determine which one to take?

    This pretty much says it all. Like a country song that's no complete, you left out dog trailers suburbans, big game hunters, out of state hunters. What about the private chef. You need to write another verse like David Alan Coe.

    Too old....?

    A lot of the dogs he gets are just that. He had one a couple years ago people paid like 20k for some German super dog. It was not what was advertised and they gave it to him. A lot of his dogs come from people that think shorthairs, wirehairs, setters etc are cute puppies. They get them home...
