What breed of dog do you hunt with Browning? Obviously you haven't hunted behind any good pointers before. I have hunted behind both at the same time and my GSP has no problem locking down the roosters while the flushers run and chase the wind. Come to Kansas for a hunt and I'll get you to change your mind....
I actually had the chance to hunt on the Iowa opener 3 years ago with my buddy, his 3 friends and their 3 labs. They were flushers and not pointers, I had the only pointer in the group. They all laughed at me for hunting with a pointer and asked me why I'd waste my time with such a worthless dog. We started the hunt and by 3/4 of the way through the first field I had shot my limit, which were all birds that Kody pointed and held for me as the flushers were lost in the field chasing there tails. My buddies friends never shot one bird behind their dogs, as a matter of fact they never flushed anything and Kody was trailing them and pointed birds that they ran over. Hence my opinion on pointers vs flushers. By the end of the first field they apologized to me for making fun of my dog and actually were arguing over who got to shoot over Kody when he locked up. Makes you very proud as a pointer owner to get this compliment. Happy Easter all..
