I use a PupFlask and it is amazing! I keep a jug of water to refill the unit when getting low.

I’ve worn nothing but uninsulated boots for bird hunting in either Filson Uplander or Crispi Idaho GTX II flavors. I always wear good socks and I don’t get cold. I have the Crispi boots on in this picture.

I love my SxS guns, but they have to have two triggers.

Welcome to the forum from your neighbor to the south. This place is great fun and actually helpful at times!

I really enjoy my trips to the local preserve. The dog gets a lot more enjoyment than I do. I love watching him work the field and make the retrieve. It is 8-9hr drive for me to get into good wild bird country, thus not a quick weekend trip. The preserve is an hour each way.

It is $130 for 4 birds at my local preserve. I can also have him put out 6 chukar instead for the same price. Those a re great fun for the dog.

I think if Whisky has a favorite it is carrots.

Whisky loves fresh veggies as well. It is funny to watch and listen to him eating broccoli. crunch crunch crunch

I am looking forward to seeing your newest edition and Sage's mentee...

GH, You and I seem to be a lot alike in regards to the dogs. Whisky gets a few scraps, it just happens. He swims in the lake, off the boat, in the summer. He HATES the heat, thus his activity level in the Arkansas summer is reduced. In the early fall is when we start more conditioning. This...

I love watching these dogs work a duck that keeps ducking and diving.

Whisky is a pro at fetching tools for DIY projects!

Skeeter, I would have loved to have seen that retrieve in action. This past fall, while in SD, Whisky got to do a legit blind on a pheasant. We were walking a strip of milo that was flanked by winter wheat. I was about 10yds in the wheat and sent Whisky on a retrieve into the milo. At that...

LBH... I appreciate your view. I do have a Pointing Lab and consider him to be more pointer than flusher. When I was hunting in SD last season, the guide had a bunch of Labs running around and there was a distinct difference in how they hunted vs my boy. There was one time I wished I had fresh...

Does a Pointing Lab count towards "both" in the poll?

There is a giant Walmart facility there is all I know of Shelbyville.

Welcome from NW Arkansas. You will find a lot of fun commentary on the board. You HAVE to post pictures of the dog! This is my 4yr old Pointing Lab, Whisky.

Brent, You make great points. If I happen to be hunting with a group, and Whisky and I are having a good day with birds, I will actively seek out a hunter that has not had many shots, etc. and switch with them. As long as the dog is having a good time, I love to watch him work more than...

It sounds like you did okay with that one!

Congrats on the new gun. What did you get? My son bought a Beretta 686 last year and the "oil finish" on it was terrible. It was really thin and formed white spotting when exposed to moisture. I quickly redid it with a few coats of Pro-Custom Oil. I would never put anything with silicone on an...
