Re: Roams good in the woods, stays tight in fields?
Did u get that dog from Grouse lines? If so that is normal instinct, many a Grouse woods dog act different at first when taken to the open fields, they are looking for the cover, just keep consisent, find birds and keep at it then the dog will learn!

I have a 3 year old English Setter that has never had fleas, he is kenneld outside, never treated for fleas, I have gave him maybe 3 yard baths with flea shampoo, is it the color of his coat that keeps them off or am I lucky? I was prepared to battle them when I got a Setter due to the long hair!

Any hunters experienced and know where and if campsites are available in SW Kansas or Iowa for pheasant hunting trips. I imagine it is cold so a camper would help, any location tips or survival/comfort tips! Would mostly be hunting WIA in Iowa and SW of Dodge city in Kansas!
