    Pointing to far/ not moving in on running birds.

    Work the dog in on some launcher birds this summer down wind, which should create some up close points. Check for a flinch or avoidance when birds are flushed, if not you have an out of the box steady dog which is what people spend thousands of dollar to accomplish. You can work in a release...

    Lab guys sorry but....

    I agree that a covey point from 150 yards and hold till shot is really hard to accomplish, honestly it’s rare. But in my eyes especially in a tough year that’s a covey I would have never found, and if they split on the flush it’s game on.

    If your pointing dog is truly steady it’s fantastic.. I would say hundreds of yards side to side is better than hundreds ahead!

    The thrill with pointing dogs for me is when they take a huge swing and pin down a bird that I would have never known was there in the first place. Huge advantage when hunting marginal ground or large tracts.

    Death march takes the need for good dogs out of the equation, I would rather hunt with 20 dogs than 20 people!

    Preferred 20 Gauge Shell

    That Winchester load is my preferred round for the last few years, it’s just right. Mater of fact I’ve got 2 more cases in the mail as we speak. Works well in my ou and an old a5, also bought a half case in #5 for sd last year and they worked great. Plus they have been easy to find last...

    Lead shot ban (DFL introduced bills) opposed by MN State HS Clay Target League

    No way a lead ban would make me stop hunting, out of the question. All I hope for are practical decisions made in the future to phase it out as replacement options become available in mass and at a reasonable price point. My fear is that the laws passed will force the change on a moments notice...

    Gsp breeder

    I’m helping my friend who is a life long lab guy search for a gsp breeder. I can vouch that he is a proven hunting dog owner who wants to add a pointing dog to the house. Not sure how far he would travel but let say Texas/nm/kansas/oklahoma/nebraska/ Colorado. Thanks!
