Thanks Kismet - They were great hunters. Often working together to trap running birds. Lots of fund memories. The big boy would typically range out to 100 yards and work back. The other white/ticked would also range to 100yds or 80 yds then worked back. The dark roan would work about 40 to 50...

I was looking over some photos of my present and past GSP hunting and the three amigos showed up. This was a quail hunt in Nebraska and what a sight it was to see them honor the point ( Roxy in front looking right). They were a hunting pack for sure. We harvest more birds during their life with...

Haven't done it for a few years but I did the Pheasant Forever youth hunt where the club introduces a young man or girl pheasant hunting. The club invites several volunteers with their dogs to guide. Awesome experience for all. Should get back to that event again. A good dog work is needed to...

Never - NOPE

Ok guys I do respect all of your thinking. But I am not talking about paying to hunt as a course of my season. Wild birds is the predominate method. That mean public/walk ins and private land ( which is mostly my chase). I am talking about extending the season for dog work period. You may have...

I understand everyone has an opinion and preference on their likes and don't likes hunting upland method or style. The public land or walk-ins are plentiful in most of the states that produces hunt capable number of upland species and we have taken advantage of those opportunities with the...

There has always being farming cycles which affect the wildlife habitat. Remember the CRP program changes, the ethanol cycle etc. Then there is Mother Nature which also throws in its effects. Studies on the history of hunting, has indicated there are more opportunities today in places to hunt...

I started with a 16ga many years ago. I bought the new sweet 16ga 28". LOVE THE GUN. I now can't miss ( not bragging) as it improved my average shooting from the past. Light, cycles beautifully, and patterns well with the cheap ammo as well. I have always had auto 26" but I am not messing with...

JACKRABBIT - sorry its taken me a bit to get you the photos of the a/c cooler we discussed a few days ago- I been out chasing dog and birds. Here are the photos as promise. Hope it helps

A picture has a thousand words

Well said Munster927. In my opinion its fun for an upland hunter of all around species of birds and always a challenge It takes some travel time (hence time off from work and home obligations). Also for me has not been the bird count of any species. Heck I often pass up shots for instance with...

Jackrabbit - I bought my setup but there are DYI system in the web. Its is in my basement and I will take a photo of it when I can to forward to you. However, the principal is based on using a basic cooler and modify the lid with a fanon top of it which pulls the cool air from a hole on the lid...

when I had my truck with the topper, I used the kennel covers in the dead of winter here in my State and surrounding states. Weather depended. But I felt better since the temps could drop significantly after dark while I was in a restaurant etc. They also travel in the late spring, summer and...

Weekend after Nebraska opener. Hard hunting for 4 birds in 1 1/2 days; hot, dry and that made the birds scatter. Need a bit of snow to bunch them up. Nevertheless, always a great time and hoping to do it again here soon. Happy Thanksgiving and Be Safe.

Late to this game but I owned a GSP and she was awesome on 3 legs ( missing front left) Her points were beautiful and often you couldn't tell her missing leg. She worked close and swept the field when the others would go out further. She honor and retrieve but I tried not to have her work that...

Going to try again out there but perhaps I may end up around the Scottsbluff region right after Thanksgiving. Have a couple of private fields which is reported to have some good number of birds combine with some "walk-ins". This time I hope to do better. Its a way to drive but may be worth it...

By the way Johndoeboy I was in your neck of the woods this past weekend & WOW hot and few birds but always good to be back on my childhood grounds.

And the dogs

Do your research on your specific gun. I have read that the top barrel provides a more stable flex as its joined and re-enforce by the lower barrel. Therefore and in theory your first shot in the lower barrel should be good for closer distance hence a wide pattern choke. The top barrel for...
