Training with Pheasant may not be the best option. Chukar or quail or pigeons may give you a better option. As to hunting preserve do some research with the local hunting dog clubs. I know they do have them possibly further north in Florida. My cousin had a GSP and he belong to one but do not...

You are right UplandHntr - It has never been about the count but the opportunity of being outdoors, watching good dog work and the friendship. We have on many occasions have come back home with just a couple of birds & sometimes none but very content and sore muscles. :) Next time out is...

My only 2 cents is-think about having a couple of more runs that you may need- Added reserved room for future dogs, or guests with their dogs on your 80 acres to train with you etc. As far as a separate BLDG that may be the way to go- much cleaner and you have the space. Although properly...

Waiting for the birth delivery of my new GSP pup which has been on deposit for 1 year. Momma is due this weeko_Oo_O This past weekend hunt definitely showed us we have been short in dog "power" Too hot and hard working hunt. I have been use to having four on the ground if conditions dictated. If...

Most important Game License

Spent the last 2 1/2 day weekend chasing pheasants in SW Nebraska. And chasing is the key word. Very hot, bird numbers are way down. I was told that the first hash was very limited due to the drought conditions and they had a second hash which is the birds mostly seen but young ones. Anyway we...

Me too. However at this time of my hunting era is not the amount of birds but the joy of still hunting and watching the dog work. My sons would differ with my sentiments;)

$20 here in Denver at Murdocks for #5 and only in 12ga. Their inventory wont last either since they appear to be the only game in town. They had #6 last week but now all gone. It is shameful but hoarding is the next step we will experience, if not already. I have been looking for 20ga or 16ga to...

I waited on one of my GSP (now in dog heaven) until he was 5 years old before I felt that his retrieving needed a pro to get it done right. Before then I had him on all kinds of birds wild and pen raised, Work on his confidence and field work. However after I got him back from the "pro" his...

My GSP Reina 1st attachement - The rest of the photos are my other GSP RIP

Late to your response but this is what I know from past experience There are a few bird hunters from Pueblo and Colorado Springs most of those I have run into belonged to Rocky Mountain Roosters out of Calahan CO. That is the extent of my knowledge. Sorry couldnt help more.

Thank you for your service. I too have been in search for a upland bird lease here in Colorado for many years but have had no luck. Not sure what your budget is or where in the state you are located but pricey is the Bluff in Byers Co. They supplement the birds not planted. Plenty of fields...

My introduction wording is miss leading I am 71 but not old at heart. 55 years in upland hunting

I know that shells and other ammo for that matter have taken a significant increase since the pandemic. Everything has. Here are my 2c worth. I have been chasing upland of all types and seldom have I needed to seek out "max" load shells. My go to in either 12ga, 16ga & 20ga shells is 1oz or...
