Yea 3,000 is more than I would be willing to spend 2,000 is probably my cap. Kind of have it narrowed down between shining star kennels, thunder head, and grouse point. I am a bit intimidated about the whole requirement to test the dog but could see myself enjoying it.

I mean I get it every dog is a gamble you're not guaranteed anything. Some of these breeders are charging insane amounts. But I imagine its very costly to operate and become a reputable breeders. I try to have a cap on what I would spend on purchasing a dog because in the end that's only a...

Well shit they must’ve just raised it because it used to be $2500. Wasn’t really trying to go above that but we’ll see. Like I said Gus is 8 so figured by the time he’s 10 I’d get my name down somewhere. Was just trying to see if I was missing a good breeder in my area

Yea for the most part haha still leaning towards Highfire. Their dogs look really good and have some great lines. I'm sure within the next year or so I'll put a deposit down.

I have my fathers Belgian A5 12 gauge with a poly choke. Love that gun I've taken a lot of birds with it

Yea that's what I saw

currently have a pointing lab that will be 8 in June. I’m starting to do my research now for my next dog. I know I want a gsp. I’ve hunted with them for years and it fits my style of hunting. I’m located in Illinois suburbs outside of Chicago looking at breeders in Iowa Wisconsin and obviously...

Going to be purchasing a large ruffland kennel for my lab. I have $350 in cabelas cards figured it's time to put the money to use tired of having Gus in the backseat causing a ruckus. What's everyone using for padding?

I have a Sylmar vest as well and it has held up great through several seasons

does the legacy come with the water bottle attachments?

Gus just turned 6, last year was the first time heading out to South Dakota. Hunted 3 days which is the most that he has done so I think the combination of the amount of days in a row hunting and the warm weather may have taken a good chunk of his energy. First day it was 60 and the final 2...

Yea I normally feed twice a day during the offseason, but during the season I switch to once a day during the evening.

Good idea I dont know why I didn't think of that before. Think the week of I'll add some water to his food.

That makes sense, he’s been on cosequin for over a year now. Guess I’ll just have to ramp up his conditioning from what I’ve been doing. Appreciate the advice.

Well he gets all of those as I stated above. But like humans there are supplements that can be given to assist in recovering from strenuous workouts. I noticed last year on a 3 day trip the issue arising. That’s why I was asking.

Was looking to see if anyone has used either Alpha dog resurgence or Kinetic hydro40k? Mainly looking at those for my lab. He’s in good shape and I give him plenty of water while hunting. He also gets fed purina pro plan 30/20. Just was looking at something to give him during hunting trips out...

I highly recommend Fortino Hunt Club in Odell. Great people and plenty of land you will never be hunting on top of anyone.

Thanks for the feedback good luck this season

How much of an effect on the birds do you all think derecho had? I know central Iowa got hit bad with corn fields flattened.

Always wanted a WingWorks and thought this year would be the year until the damn covid. I ended up just ordering a Browning Bird'n Lite 2.0. I had a bunch of gift cards so for $40 bucks out of pocket I figured I'd give it a try.
