Congrats ! Now the fun begins

I sent some comments and received a email from a person thanking me and saying he would forward them to his administration.

Maybe he's on a cruise with his nephew and the farmer's daughter?

Phin loves cucumber. spinach, bell peppers and squash. Hangs out at the counter drooling when we make a salad. He's a real omnivore. Annie the pup is following in his tracks.

In the third post of this topic I said I wasn't going to bite but after 10 pages.......... I have a Lab and we just got a new puppy, also a Lab. I previously had a Lab. I like Labs. I've never had a Pointer, never considered it and never hunted with one. Maybe i don't know what I'm missing...

Not gonna bite!

Kick them up, I did a double take on your photo then checked if I still had my dogs :)

Annie, my pup (14 weeks) followed our 3 year old into the water on her first exposure. Stared out with shallow retrieves and gradually went deeper. Once she got to where she realized there was no bottom she turned around shoirt of the dummy. We did some more shallow stuff and she enjoyed it...

Same here!

Last season we drove by a small private field, maybe the size of 2 football fields. There must have been 10+ guys, some along the road edge, some along the tree line and some blocking at the end. Three dogs and a few guys forming a "skirmish line" in the middle at the other end All dressed...

I am thinking that PF could simply ask Members for photographs of wild Pheasants they may have and permission to use it in their ads? Maybe give a shout out and free hat if it's used?

Our new Lab pup is 14 weeks and we took her to a lake for her first water outing. She did really well, no doubt having a big brother to show her the ropes. In the last clip I think she realized she was swimming and was not to sure anymore :) A short video is on youtube here:

I've tried to get to two preserves with the dog here in SW Utah but they all want groups, not one guy and a dog. I friend and i found a Pheasant breeder and bought some to work the dogs. I think last time it was $10 for hens, $15 for Roosters. I also keep wings and a whole bird in the freezer...

Annie just hit 3 months. I forgot how patient you need to be with training. Her brother Phin just told me to send her back but I think we'll keep her .

I don't know? That King was on 8# test and a light rod and fun but 10 lb silvers on a fly rod are a real hoot too. Just send it down on the rigger and hang on! When I was there in the limit on Kings for non-residents was 2 over 24" for the year. Lots of pressure to produce. Congrats on...
