Haha mine drives me mad sometimes. You can borrow her when I need a break

Same here. The original post was obviously to cause shit on a bird hunting forum. Started out fun but now everyone is getting all defensive that their dog isn’t considered a versatile breed by the hunting dog world organizations. Our sprinters aren’t considered versatile and we don’t care they...

Right so I’m not sure why guys are getting defensive here and how any of this versatile stuff pertains to pheasant hunting specifically. Think people are getting confused what the term actually means

Yup 100 percent on the leash thing.

Ok maybe I’m wrong but the world versatile to me means the dog is also bred to like fur and track blood. What am I missing? Any other hunting breed can find roosters, retreive waterfowl, and retrieve pheasants. What am I missing here. So dumb

Thanks, that sounds exactly like hunting with my springer

I don’t think I’ve hunted with a really good pointer on wild birds, only a “ pointing lab” that sometimes did it but the owner would shoot at anything. Hunted with a couple gsps on planted birds and it was lots of fun. Do you guys get lots of awesome solid points where a big ass rooster...

Heading south tomorrow, gonna miss most of it. Score for me

Pointers are exciting, you get to enjoy a couple seconds of adrenaline knowing there is a bird literally right there. Fun stuff Pointers are like watching a deer come in to your stand, flushers are like hearing a huge crash and a deer comes running by. Or something like that maybe

I’m going to train my next dog to either point or flush depending on how I feel that day. Keep you guys posted it’s going to be great

I saw a huge black one walking on the shoulder of the road near Ely once at night. It was amazing. I’ve also seen kill spots up there on frozen lakes.. deer kill in the middle with tracks coming in from all sides.. they surrounded it. Quite the site. If we can we can ever hunt them again.. I...

That’s what saying. I’m Fortunate where I hunt. Any deer is a very much a victory in other areas and situations

Yeah spot on. I agree. I always buy a management take in case I see a nice doe and want to take it. I know they are zones you can kill buttloads of deer. My family can barely eat one. I imagine lots just sit in the freezer and then are rotated out but who knows. I’m the only one who even...

Most Deer camps who are party hunting literally shoot anything that walks. You see a deer you shoot it. There is no quality management going on. Pretty hard to grow nice deer if you are shooting them at one. And chances are no one is being to sneaky or putting in large amounts of effort. If...

Very true! Only downside. Wish I could get my old man some more shots sometimes. He doesn’t care though, he just likes seeing a springer get up birds.

Spot on

I think my dog might be gay

Whatever, if it works for you and your buddies who cares. Probably just one off stuff, maybe the cards are just falling in your buddies favor that day and you only got a few spots to walk. You and your friends should be able to police that and make that call no big deal at all with a smile on...

Haha I think you are looking to stir it up a bit around here. Labs can obviously be versatile

Get in the water yourself, like actually swimming. Make sure it’s Warm water. Coax that dog in, they will want to be with you where the fun is. Then just build off of that That’s what I did with a swimming pool on a hot day during a pool party. Shes a swimming fool now. Its a blast for both of us
