I guess my question is with a non pointing dog is everything based around the fetch, or search drills with hidden birds also done. I’ve gun broke several dogs and his enthusiasm says he’s not ready… which is fine we have time

Need some tips from guys with flushing dogs. I’ve only had pointing dogs so I’m reaching out for some drills and tips for a field bred golden. Got a friend with a new pup, currently 4 months old who reached out for help on gun conditioning. I’m more than happy to help so we have had 3...

It’s actually a really cool way to wrap up a career, just pure instincts in total silence

My brother has a completely deaf 14 year old dog that gets around amazing for her age. For the past 2 years we give her hunts by herself with a tracking collar and just follow the dog. This doesn’t answer your question but at this stage and the short walks she can make it feels right to just...

Hats off to you, that seems like a lot of labor and wouldn’t be worth the effort without real results.

I’ve been that guy when she came in during the trip… it was miserable. For everyone and every male dog

Mountain quail are a real cool bird, we made a shot in the dark trip off some intel from some deer hunters in nm. We found 2 small coveys, I missed my only opportunity and my friend got two. Not a bad showing for one day of effort. One day I will try again in a better location

In other words don’t bother unless you need a change in scenery

Talked to a friend around garden city last night said quail have had a nice bump this year, pheasants are a fraction better than last year but that doesn’t take much.

I’m not putting down the 28, I proudly own one. It just stays at home on pheasant hunts

Secret is be an Olympic level shot!

I I thought the same thing and I was wrong. Drove 1000 miles pulled into the first public we liked to run the dogs and walked out with 3 birds. 5 day hunt lost one spot to someone else. Could be worse around the bigger towns or off the interstate, they can have it!

Selected for what?? Just curious

I’ve got a friend in sd who’s a state wildlife biologist and has a littermate to one of my dogs. His words “make two trips if you can this year.”

41 days and god willing I’m on my way!

I’m not to concerned about a dogs peak cardio condition to start the year, if they are not overweight it happens fast. What I have come to realize is the first two weeks of the year I have more problems with the condition of there feet. I try to do pre season workouts centered around...

Nope.. half of law and order svu episodes start with someone in the trunk goose!
