Two months after shoulder surgery.

Montana Sharp-tails, North Dakota pheasant, than back home to Oregon for chukar. Same as last year!!!

"Those traits are all fine and required, but until you have actually stepped foot on chukar terrain for a day you realize that the most important trait for a chukar dog are feet. The rocks will chew up the bad ones so fast that the heat tolerance, endurance and nose become useless." Agree 100% with ...

One like this. GWP

Chukar hunting from this week.

I hunt the same kind of areas and have found that a gps unit is a must have. I use the Garmin Alpha and wouldn't hunt without it. I hunt some bad areas also and with the alpha I can find her even in the thickest cover. As far as form go's that will come with lot's of exposer with wild birds. This ha...

Is your dog a GWP, or GSP. Love that picture.

Kyle

She's a GWP. 19 months old From Kelly at Bone Point Kennels.

Nice, great looking country.

Do the fawns and the nesting birds a big favor and shoot all you can!!!!!

A few from the last couple week.

I get the idea of injuries but... They will jump off things while hunting, over things, etc.I am not saying they can't get injured then also but you can't prevent everything. I just never gave it much thought other than having something on the tail gate like carpet (Tahoe) or a mounted rubber mat (...

GWP

18 month old gwp. Hunting on foot for chukars, sage and rocks.

I have been using one in the field now for ten hunt days. No problems with the touch sreen or batterys.The batterys have at least 50% charge after hunting for eight hours.
Hunting with a younger dog and using both the tracking and e-collar has been a joy.

The rocky steep cayons of eastern oregon eat most boots. Chasing chuckers in this country takes a tuff boot, danners don't hold up. Kenetrek's do!!
Kenetrek mountain extreme non insulated are great boots. Great support and last for years!!

Here in oregen the odfw has a pre-season put and take at a couple wildlife areas. Ready for the opener in a couple weeks.Everyone have a great and safe season. Looking forward to photos,reports and success storys.

Ordered one direct from tritronics only a 5 to 9 day wait.

Thanks for all the info. What collar would be the best choice? Tek 1.0, Astro 320, or wait to see what TT Garman is going to come out with? Had a good day friday,alot less stress and tried that relaxing idea!! (Let her do what genetics tell her to do and be happy she's not a boot polisher. But, RELA...

She holds point just fine..

[quote][ I'm going to give you an opinion and I may be dead dead wrong. But, most new owners who end up with a dog that will roll get nervous. The dog's out of sight for a while, 5 minutes, maybe 30 minutes, and they get nervous. Some get nervous when the dog is out of sight for 2 seconds. Are you c...

She just turned seven months.Whistle training in yard no problems.

This is my first pointing dog and was wondering if you can put a young dog on to many wild birds? She has been out three to five times a week through the season.Bumped birds early but figured it out as season progressed. Now the problem!! She seems to be hunting on her own and having recall issues!!...

2007 plenty of room for me and pup. No problems getting to the good spots!!!

Pup is just seven months and is starting to figure them out!!
