I'm always off between Dec. 23-Jan.2 and this next year I was thinking about traveling to hunt some wild birds over break. I was curious what other people would think is the best best hunting experience this time of the year. Also all species of birds are included and I would prefer not to leave the...

Thank you for all the help and advice -James

A have bought a male GSP from a breeder in Nebraska, and since then it has been 3 years. Many members might have seen my ads in the Dogs For Sale section, and for most of the training sessions I have more than enough difficulty controlling him and our cooperation is terrible. Many because he is arou...

Myself and sons do a lot of hunting in New Jersey for stocked birds and usually bag a decent amount of quail or pheasant over him everytime we go out, but they lost almost as much birds to floods and snow as we did

JHumes

No problem and the reason I'm actually selling him is to pay for an English Pointer. Do you hunt a lot of grouse/woodcock with your pointers, or mainly stocked birds?

JHumes

My young GSP is for sale, he's great with children and would be great any stocked birds/preserve or grouse/woodcock hunting your friend does. You can take a look at him in the Dogs for Sale classifieds. Thanks, James

The family dog 'Clown''s nicknames range from 'Clowner,Clownable,Clownbaby,' and even though he's 2 'Puppy'

Always nice to meet some members with pointing dogs, most use labs, maybe we could do dogwork on the grounds sometime and some hunting this coming fall/winter.And never would have thought about the backround.James

It's funny how they were deer hunters

JHumes

I don't know where New Oxford is in PA, but in SE PA the stocked pheasants don't surive.I go on the HUNT PA chatroom and in the NW,SW PA hunters seem to get birds that survive stocking dates almost months later.

JHumes

My favorite is ruffed grouse hunting, but hunting stocked bobwhite is fun too.But it's hard to get a good grouse dog.

Grouse: Sage, Spruce, Ruffed, Sharptail

Partridge: Grey, Chukar

Pheasant

Prairie Chickens

Quail: Scaled, Valley, Bobwhite, Gambel's, Mearn's

Feel free to write a reason why if wanted

JHumes

What qualities does he have that you feel people would want and that need to be pasted on? I like his looks in a couple of your posts but looks too long legged in your Avatar pic. Ezzy The main idea is that I'm not selling him, and my avatar is no different than his real size( he is 75lbs and 25 in...

JHumes

I tried to breed him ,but it didn't work out, and wanted to sell. Since no one wanted him, I kept him and I guess he could breed after he matures a little bit more.

JHumes

The dog in the OP's avatar is either for sale or sold, or at least was at some point. The reason for selling at that time was he wanted a female. Yeah, I decided to keep the dog (nobody really was interested), I have recently force fetched him and have started to steady him on birds.I'll probaly tr...

'BdB' never heard of that breed

JHumes

I've have been thinking a lot about getting another dog ,and want to hear about some options of specific breeds, following is what I would like in a dog.

short coat
small-medium size
pointing breed
can retrieve early-season ducks
ranges fair( 40-60 yards)
long tail

Is there any good public wild quail hunting?

Big Steve, I have relatives from Olney, Ilinios, Dale Williams, and he used to train and hunt dogs.Kinda off topic but it would be cool if you knew him.

Llewellin setter, have a GSP now ,and I grouse hunt a lot. I also heard that they are bred with natural abilities to retrieve and point, so it would be a little less training than other dog breeds.

JHumes

I know a llewellin kennel in KY that has a lifetime money back guarrentee, I think the one your talking about may be the one.If it is go for it.

JHumes

Awesome pics, never been to SD before how do those roosters hold on point over there.The stocked birds I hunt usually hold on point,and (off feedback from others) most wild birds seem to run.

I like the Dogtra 2500 T & B Series electronic collar,but wish that it had a hawk scream on point mode.

JHumes

I hear that Black Gold dog food is good, but since there aren't local stores where they sell that brand.I go to a local pet shop and buy Blue Seal brand, I like it personally but don't know if anyone else knows of it.

JHumes

It's the end of the season(still some snow geese oppurtunity) but it ended out pretty good: 15 quail,2 pheasants(stocked),5 grouse,2 woodcock,7 rabbit,3 squirrel,7 geese http://i1211.photobucket.com/albums/cc429/jbaca123/Grouse.jpg http://i1211.photobucket.com/albums/cc429/jbaca123/007.jpg http://i1...

Scout,Scout,Scout. Find a hole where they're landing every morning, Throw out some decoys and wait. You can whistle at the wood ducks a little and teal can actually be called about like other ducks. As far as chokes, I shoot an ic Do you think a dog would be needed(I have a GSP) or could a canoe be...

JHumes

I'm planning on doing some wood/teal hunting this coming season.I've hunted mallards and geese previously, and new to this form of hunting.Any info would be appriciated(examples: calling techniques,scouting,loads/chokes,dog or no dog,ect.) Thanks,James

I've been pretty interested in buying a Llewellin setter, and since a had just sold one of the dogs.I have been doing research and have found a handfull of Llewellin setter kennels not too far.Wondering if anyone has had expierence with these dogs and if they are any good grouse hunting companions.

I had recently bought and watched the the George Hickox training video.I have noticed that he only mentoined and demonstrated how the dog picks up the bird,and not how the dog brings the bird back on the force fetch portion.Any comments or techniques on how to complete would be appriciated.

JHumes

Grouse and Woodcock aren't on the list,if you had to give me a yes or no what would it be?

JHumes

I'm a Christain,and I am not concerned about the killing procedure,but I would like to know if the meat itself is considered Kosher.It mainly just the clean/non-clean meat thing.

JHumes

Is woodcock meat considered kosher?
