Birdman2 said --- All Brits. Starting out 45 years ago I had no experience training bird dogs. Deer hunting buddies did, and I got the disease. My dogs - 1. Duchess 1978 - Only hunted ruff grouse in mountains of East TN. Late 70s. She attacked a skunk one time. Not a pleasant drive back home in...

I agree with Zeb. Genetics plays a role for sure. Some dogs, including Brits, are just naturally faster, bolder and have more energy. I've had some dogs that will check to see where I am more often than others - it was just in their DNA. Training and experience are a big part of how a bird dog...

2 to 4 depending on January weather. License for me is at the low end of what I spend. 1227 miles one way.

I've got no quarrel with that at all. But as some say, "On the other hand"... there is something special about a Brit locked up on a gorgeous point 60 yards away. Then to walk up, at a quick pace, flush a rooster 8 yards in front of a steady dog's nose, that's special too. Even better with...

From a FB post. I had to look twice.

How long until the opener? TOO LONG! Heck I just fired up the lawn mower for the first time this year and that's a long season.

I think you can sign up on the sdgfp website. I get a packet in the mail each year, I think it's free. It's been a while since I signed up, but I get it every year without requesting. It may even come because I purchased a license.

Wing Shooter, Great response. No disagreement with your points.

It depends on the decade-- In my youth - 60s - it was rabbits, quail, ruff grouse. There were no deer, turkey or elk where I lived then. Deer season started in the early 70s, gun but I got completely hooked on bow hunting - buck only for years. Turkey showed up 10 years later. Pheasant hunting...

From a dandy-out-of-stater that never has hunted the groomed preserves outside my home state and don't "road" hunt, one that you believe has been "hood-winked." Agree nothing much matters if you are pointing wrong. Shells don't help much if you just miss, and I've had my share of those...

So, I'm going to weigh in on this discussion and understand I may regret it. Facts - my opinion and memory-- 1. Been carrying a shotgun in the field for 60 years, pheasant hunting 25 years with my Britts. 2. Done the reloading thing for a lot of years. 3. I've used PS for pheasants for several...

Careful now... Said another Tennessean.

GPS accuracy for sure. Upper East TN. I can see the spot from the interstate that, of course, wasn't there in 1966. It had to have been late November or early December as I had just gotten my driver's license. Small farm, maybe 20 acres. Rabbit hunting, no dogs, flushed a covey of bobwhite...

Really like my Chief Upland and its easy to change the configuration. My experience with the company has been excellent.

https://forum.ultimatepheasanthunting.com/threads/browning-factory-repair.24362/post-262107 My experience several years ago. Took a lot of phone calls but they did a good job in the end. No problems since.

Sounds like a challenge and an opportunity. Need a referee and video, drones, etc. Could be Academy Award possibilities? Sports Center? Maybe Las Vegas can set betting odds. Could be big money to be made. (Or lost). Think of the beer commercials, ticket sales. This could be big - really BIG! Or...

In order, all Britts -- Duchess, Dakota (male), Lady, Frankie, Bandit, Dakota (female), Bear, Kate, Rocky, Reece. Duchess was my first, 1982, thought it sounded Brittany. Bear is now 15 and sadly, doesn't have much time left.

Little different approach. 1. Haven't had a blocker in many years. Just me, maybe one more guy sometimes, and my dog(s). Less chance of talking and more chance of saying "Good Boy Rocky!" 2. Agree with Drew and of course GH. Quiet getting out of the truck one of my pet peeves. When I'm solo...

GH - I've used the bill attachment too, but always felt front heavy to me. This has the weight 3-4 inches further back. I'm not crazy about the black hat, but the gopro mount is stitched into the front of the cap so it could be changed easily. I've been using it when I run the dogs on the farm...
