Have hunted behind two dogs from Atwood. Neither one points, one wants to fight all the time and the other just walks, doesn't hunt. Sample size is small and I'm sure they have put out some good dogs, but I agree you can do a lot better for your money.

I agree West. I've hunted behind a couple of them and I'm not impressed.

Took my 12 year old son and his best friend hunting yesterday. The first field was a long walk for the boys with only one hen being seen. About 50 yards from being back to the truck I was in the middle of thinking "well this hasn't gone as planned" when his friend stepped on a rooster!!! He...

Sent you a PM, or at least I think I did. Not real sure if I did it correctly! Thanks, Bryan

Hey, I'm interested. Let me talk to the wife when she gets home from work. Will get back in touch with you. Thanks, Bryan

Call me crazy but you guys can have hunting pheasants in the snow, it's not for me. I'd rather watch my dogs work running birds and follow along behind them. I don't enjoy trying to get around in the snow, makes things a mess. Now, I'm not turning down hunting in the snow, I just prefer to...

My 3 buddies and myself will hit some family ground in SW Kansas for the Opener. Haven't gotten many good reports from out there so may end up moving further North depending on what we see. The 4 of us have been hunting together for 20 years, always a good time regardless of birds killed. We...

Thanks for all the replies. About the time I've convinced myself to try something other than a shorthair, I talk myself out of it! But, getting old and would like to try other breeds before it's all said and done. If I change it'll be between a Brit and a Setter, don't think you can go wrong...

Hey guys, hope you are all doing well. I've been pheasant hunting 25 years now and have always ran Shorthairs. I've been tinkering around with the idea of trying something different and have been looking at Brittany's and English Setters. Am I crazy??? Give me your thoughts please. Still...

Have any of you guys ever been? It's been on my bucket list, I plan on crossing it off this summer! 3 buddies and I are going to make the trip this summer. We just started looking into it, all newbies so plenty of things to research/learn. Just curious if anyone had any info to share...

For the 3rd year in a row my 9 year old GSP has gotten something lodged in his nose. Happened Wednesday when we were hunting and he sneezed and sneezed trying to get it out. I thought he got it and then today he started sneezing again and I'm pretty sure it's still in there. The last two...

Hey guys, My 9 year old son asked Santa for a shotgun for Christmas, which made Daddy very happy! Anyways, looking for suggestions as I've never bought a youth model before. He's not the biggest 9 year old and he's pretty soft. Do I go with a 20 gauge or a 410? Single shot, pump or semi...

Hey guys, I have a 8 month old shorthair I need some help with. My first two dogs I never really had an issue with them jumping up on people, but this pup is driving me nuts with it. He's gotten better with me (still slips up when he's really excited) but with my kids it's every time they are...

I've been shooting a 12 gauge O/U for the last 15 years, made the decision to switch to a 20 this year. Love the gun and have been knocking them dead with Federal Premium Copper plated 5 shot. However, I have yet to find a steel shell worth a darn for the 20 gauge. So, you 20 gauge guys have...

Need to get some quail for the pup. You guys know of anyone around the Wichita area that has some this year? Thanks

Looking at building a dog box, love the looks of a wooden dog box! You guys got any pics of some you would like to share? Thanks in advance

Looking at getting a new pup this Spring/Summer. Any of you Kansas guys recommend anyone? Been looking and doing some research, figured I'd see if anyone has any suggestions. Really like the white & liver dogs. Thanks in advance and good luck this season.

Looking for a good female to breed my male with. Hoss is 6, white and liver and average size. I owned his Dad, best dog I've ever hunted behind and Hoss is pretty darn good too. Listens well, good nose and all around good dog. Got 3 or 4 guys that want pups out of this litter, won't have a...

Went goose hunting Friday after work and shot 5. Went again Saturday morning and our group got 18. Got up this morning and went pheasant hunting and had my 4 bird limit in 30 minutes. My buddy shot 3 as well and we added a duck to the mix (All on public ground). Was home by noon with 7...

Been debating something for a few weeks now, figured I'd see what your guys thoughts are. I have family ground in SW Kansas that we've (4 buddies and I) always hunted during opening weekend. Last year we hunted on public ground in a different part of the state due to the bird numbers in the SW...
