I use mine to blood trail deer.

It's pretty cool as he will point blood, then move up and point again etc until the deer is recovered.

Re: Taking my pup to North Dakota

IMO taking a 6 month old on a drive is a bad idea. I would shoot some birds for him and let him cover some ground, but keep the pressure low. I would let him set the pace and learn, and keep it quiet as possible.

If your happy with your dog, then keep hunting. If you want to fix the is bumping, and chasing then get a launcher, put a check chord on him and be in control. Let him point the bird in the launcher, and as soon as he moves launch the bird and let it go. Don't shoot a bumped bird. Once he starts res...

They naturally have the ability to hunt, point, and retrieve. If your dog is doing that for you consistently then I believe e your not missing a thing. Have fun! I do have two questions though. How close is your dog usually getting to the bird before he locks up! Has he ever caught a bird? Thanks, db
