Gun Dog Forum

Consider getting a Brittany for Ruffled grouse hunting
Have not had Britts for 20 years
Any suggestions for particular lines and breeders would be appreciated ( located east coast )
Thanks

Yeah I hear that fishvic..
Appreciate the feedback guys.

Been packing a 12 ga sxs a long time
Looking to switch to a autoloader for a change
What kind of auto's do you guys like ?

Nice
Looks like a fun day with some good companions..

That's one good looking Shorthair !

I agree codym.
Chukars are the toughest birds to hunt.
Especially in Idaho.

The Gordons are nice looking dogs but how do they handle the hot weather.
And is their hair hard to keep up ?

Great pictures there guys.
Some fine looking dogs for sure.
Nice scenery too.
Thanks for the replies

What do you wild chukar hunters think is the best pointing dog?
Hunting out in desert and mountains.
Think short hairs are hard to beat.

I'am lucky to just have some shot hit a bird, no less the wad.

Yeah your right, its 26/18 protein and fat.
Its higher in protein and fat than the Science Diet I have been feeding.
And at a lower price.

They sell this food at Sportsman whse., and supermarkets says it contains 28% protien and 18% fat.
Anyone using this feed, or have any opinion of it.
Thanks ahead, Tom.

Great photo's Quill.
My shorthair was snake bit last month, as far as I could tell.
Got home from Grouse hunting here in Idaho, and her leg was all swollen from foot to elbow.
Vet thought same thing, put her on meds, in a couple of days she was fine. Happy ending.

Yeah bird numbers are looking good this year, huns and ruffed grouse numbers are high.
Reports are saying chukars are up also.
Hope ya have a nice float, interested to hear how it turned out.

I was looking at a pair of Danner's at D+B supply, a new model they looked sturdy.
Can't recall the name, but the price was $300.oo plus!

The old style Vibram soles are properly the most durable.
Any particular brand or style hold up better than others in the rims and cliffs ?

Good looking Shorthair.
Nice of you to leave a few birds for seed.

Real nice pic's there.
Looks like a pretty good day to me.

Anything you don't mind getting trashed :lol: :lol: I have a Montefeltro in 20ga. at 5lbs 6oz I can carry all day. Baretta is about 1lb more. Both great guns. My pick is a full auto 12 ga. with a drum clip to go with the rest of my chukar hunting gear which includes a GSP/Mtn. Goat cross and a chai...

Looking for a new gun, what do you guys like ?
Action and brand, 12, 20, 28 gauge.

Nice looking pup, should be a good one.
They get used to the cactus after a while, kind of.

Man, everytime i see these chukar posts i get all amped up about chukar hunting....and i've NEVER been lol man i cant wait to move to chukar country.....or atleast closer.. I hear ya. of all the game birds I want to chase around Chuckar are on top of my list.... The more I hear about how tough the ...

Just got to be persistent, and keep hunting. If there are birds in the area.
I don't know much bout quail, but I walked around 40 miles before I found any Chukars this fall.

> Nice photos, great looking dogs too.
> Good day for you and your kid.

> I would be concerned anytime in wolf areas.
> Here in Idaho there have been numerous dogs killed, mostly hounds.
> Not just during spring, packs of lion dogs have been killed winter time.
