Just joined up

[SetterNut]

I have been reading posts here for some time and decided it was time to join in on the fun.

A little about me. I am an avid bird hunter, quail, pheasants and Prairie Chicken are the birds I have hunted. We have more quail than pheasants in this area, but I make some trips out west to focus on pheasants a couple times a year.

I currently have a 2.5 year old Llewellin Setter (Ace) and a retired 14 year old Gordon (Cookie). I have also had Irish and Red Setters. Kind of like setters

I get to hunt a pretty fair amount and tend to take plenty of pictures. Once I figure out how to post pictures, you will likely see more pictures than you care to see

Welcome and I look forward to seeing some pics. I am the other end of the spectrum and always think about taking them but never do.

Thanks guys.

BritChaser, I really like Llewellin's (granted he is the only one I have hunted with )

He finds birds, and is honest on them. I can trust him to stand them.
He has decent range, checks in often, and has been pretty easy to train.

He is not perfect, but I am very happy with him.

Some more pics

This was on a pigeon in training,

Backing my hunting partners Vs ( they are great dogs)

First Prairie Chicken over point, Ace was not happy about stopping to take pics.

Tailgate pic. He is wearing a home made vest to cover up where get had stitches remove and had no hair.
