There are grouse in the Sangre de Cristos and Jemez mtns. You have to start looking for them at least at 8,500 elevation. Look for Engelman Spruce, Douglas Fir and Aspen forest; if you can find a area with sage next to the forest stands you may be in a good area. Here is a photo from a couple of yea...

Don't know of any training. But, have fun on 6th Street.

That part of the state got a nice percentage of the precipitation this past spring. It most likely helped with the birds and vegetation. I want to head to that part of the state maybe at the end of the season. Keep us posted on your results.

Wranglers Kennels in southern New Mexico has studs with Crows little Joe in them.

My Duke is out of "Elhew" and "Miller" lines. His grandsire is Elhew Sinbad and his sire is Dateline Blacklist. Last spring I bred him to a Honky Tonk/Crow Little Joe lines.

Because I have read "Pheasants of the Mind", I use normal leather gloves with the trigger finger tip cut off.

Upland hunting for Duskies in the Sangre de Cristos. Nice meadow. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j251/NMTrucha/bridge-2.jpg Grouse Country. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j251/NMTrucha/grousefrontyard.jpg Nice flowing creek in the Sangre de Cristos. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j251/NMTru...

Years ago, my mother lived in Victorville. There used to be birds in the NE foothills of the Big Bear but I suppose now that is all urbanized. Salton Sea used to have pheasants and some quail as did the Colorado River. When I bowhunted there, further north in Santa Maria area, I used to see quail al...

The Braco Burges (burges pointer) has a nose like that.

Escopeton

870 for waterfowl. Ugartechea for upland.

Escopeton

Congratulations to you both.

Escopeton

My pointer is great with my kids. I have an enclosed yard where the dogs (I got a pointer, GSP and a lab) can run to their hearts content.

Escopeton

As of right now, I am working the PBR at the pit. However, the kids are starting spring break. I will let you know if I am coming down.

Escopeton

Keep us informed on your events and how things go. I may go down south and participate with you all.

Here is my Chalet during a fly fishing trip to the San Juan, camping at Navajo Dam.

Escopeton

79 Chalet. Everything works. Very well insulated. It tows like a dream. Here it is home for a snow goose hunt in the Rio Grande Valley.

Hello Tim,

Have you checked out the NC game and fish site. It can give you some areas to hunt.

http://www.ncwildlife.org/Hunting/WheretoHunt.aspx

Escopeton

Tim, Don't worry about the fields being overgrown or bushy. You will encounter that almost anywhere you hunt. As far as hunting around Camp Legeune I am not familiar with that area; I was stationed on the west coast. Are there any Brittany Clubs or hunting dog clubs in the general area? Have you che...

Escopeton

Put the collar away for now, as mentioned above. How old is the pup? You can teach basic/obedience to a pup but it must be with a gentle hand and short lessons. And, you can add the whistle to it in the meantime. My whistle commands are one toot (sit), two toots (go or do a command; over or release)...

Escopeton

Designer mutt.

Escopeton

Hey Zachw,

Are there any clubs in the area featuring the dogs you are looking to go into? It could give some idea of what is out there. This thread is starting to become a pissing match.

Hey Gonecrazy,

Here is a short clip on reloading on my Mec.

Hey Marine,

I don't know about Idaho, but, come down here and I can take you for Blues. Take care.

Escopeton

It's not that hard. The overpasses I use have light but I still flash a light on the bird. I use a fishing landing net attached to a piece of PVC pipe. I put the net, while I am spot lighting them, under them on the concrete beam below the bird. After a moment or two, I drop the flash light (attache...

I named my first Lab. "Reina Loba" (queen wolf) and her call name was Reina. My second Lab is named Tizona (El Cid had two swords; Encolada and Tizona). My GSP is named Infanta Alba (royal title and dawn) and her call name is Allie. My English Pointer is named Conde Duque (Field Marshall) and his ca...

Escopeton

Superb. I just love the intensity.

Escopeton

I am thinking of doing a cast and blast. Fly fishing one day and Dusky hunt another in the Sangre de Cristos. It is still just over two months away. Get the blood going. PM me.

Thomas.

Escopeton

The only time I have lent out my dog to hunt with another person when I am not there, is a close friend and hunting buddy. He has seen me work the dog and knows what to do and not to do. If someone wants the services of my dog, I will come as the handler - and expect to pay the price.

Escopeton

Hey John, I made these hobbles and use a pigeon pole. The pole is an old saltwater spin rod that I attached a zebco 202 reel on it. I tie the mono to the hobbles, the bird to the hobbles and leave the bail open on the reel. You can plant the bird or left it fly and plant itself. https://sphotos-b.xx...

Escopeton

Get a training program to use on your pup. At this point, he is still a young pup and keep things fun and short to keep his interest. Also, you can use a live pigeon/quail with clipped wings now - it helps to keep his birdy drive going.

Enjoy your journey with your new partner.

Escopeton

Hey Ben, There are a couple of guys from that part of the country on this board and I am sure they will chime in. Cortez is not far from great fishing; the San Juan River below Navajo, the rivers and streams in the San Juan Mountain range, further north even more streams and rivers. I love Dusky hun...

Escopeton

For the most part, I want to see the dogs/trainer/hunting scenario. Give us more details.

Escopeton

How about this,

http://youtu.be/jsol6D9zpa4

Escopeton

Just to repeat what everyone said; Get a program.

And, you don't need stay when you have "Sit". Sit means stay sitting until released.

Escopeton

Good looking dog.

Escopeton

Soon this bird and one oz. of number 7's will be acquainted. Then, onto the grill.

Escopeton

Nice.

Escopeton

To add a couple more. BTW Codym, nice looking dogs.

I catch my birds in the underpasses along the hwy. I use a long pvc pipe with a large fishing net attached to it. Go Zero early thirty with a flash light and catch them. I put them in an old rabbit pen and use them at will. Every now and then you have to let one fly away or one escapes. Last time I ...

My dogs prefer Dos Equis from the amber bottle.

Good looking dog.

Seniorcoot;

Our waterfowl doesn't start until Oct. But, we do have a special Teal season here in mid-Sept.

Another teaser; a pair of Duskies each and a pair of Uggies.

I have only on one occasion had any bad dealings with bowhunters. After a brief discusion, (to paraphrase myself) I said, "This is exactly what the anti's want." It shut them up and got them pensive. Then, they said, "Have you seen any signs?" I told them where I hunt, after all, I bowhunt myself. A...

It used to be called Blue Grouse. Now the "Blue's" are separated into two distinct species the Sooty and the Dusky.

Bragus Majorus, ad naseum; I was airing out the pup in my yard when a Robin flew into the yard and perched in the chain link fence. Allie saw it and came over and locked into a point about thirty feet from the bird. When I told her to whoa, her body mannerism showed me she understood what I was aski...

Cody,

I am in the same boat as you. My pointer is AF and I am going to register him in AKC.
