Sorry double post

greg jacobs

This was posted on another forum. I knew he posted here some. There was a bunch of people he had reached out to on that forum for many different reasons. After reading many posts from the people, my respect for him grew even more. He sure made me feel good reading his posts. Always positive and alwa...

Everbody is forgetting that when they brought them to Idaho, Wyoming, and Montana in the 90s they were called Experimental Non Essential. They also knew there was a small population in extreme northwestern Montana, and occasional occurrences in Idaho, Wyoming, and Washington. Those populations are ...

The problem with science is it is often heavily biased. Easy to find science that supports both sides. At that point you choose which science aligns with ones opinions. When scientists have pre-conceived opinions it is easy to guide your science to the results you wish to reach CJ we would gladly ex...

Birds , this is one of the best written responses I have read on any subject on the web in a long time!

Thanks for taking the time to respond.

Full of misleading statements

Where I live (central panhandle) of Idaho, before the introduction of the wolves, Our Elk population was about 10,000 head. Today it is about 1,000. These are numbers from the Idaho Fish and Game. Good luck to those who think that the Wolves won't hurt the game populations. By the way, our Moose po...

Congress wouldn't fund the wolf reintroduction so money was robbed from other projects to fund it. The strain of wolves that was originally in Yellowstone was the strain that is in the NE United States. They chose to import a larger more aggressive strain from Canada that creates larger packs. Whoe...

Welcome.
For a second there i thought you were getting a gsp. Lol

greg jacobs

I keep two. Thats all I can live with. They camp and go places with us.
I sure wouldn't do two at the same time. Two old dogs isn't a good thing. Space them out according to how many you plan to have.

greg jacobs

Have one that was 400yds by 4 months she wants to be an 800yd dog. Not comfortable with 800. The other was 100yd dog by 4 months. He is a 200yd dog that hits 300 and once in a while 400. I'd talk to the breeder, its all in the genes. If he thinks you have a 400yd dog and you want a 200yd dog I'd lim...

Thanks for all the responses. To answer one of the questions about being a NSTRA champion. No, she doesn't need to get her championship. But she has the ability if I can get this problem resolved. I don't run NSTRA to champion a dog, I do it because I enjoy it and so does my dog. I've been involved...

Fred just had a frozen semen litter. Not sure if he kept any.. Dez has been bred quite a bit. Andy seems to like him quite a bit. Not to many direct sons around anymore. Which was he producing over or under? Nearly every litter Jacob produced had overbites. They are great dogs in every other way. T...

Well done Greg!! I hear you. As for me, give me that hot horseback AA HOF bred pointer/setter as a young pup . When you can "saddle the stallion", you are in for the ride of a lifetime! I've always said she is going to be the best or worst dog I've ever had. Definitely the smartest. Don't think I g...

Actually from 2013. Them 3s and 8s look the same without glasses. Lol

My next pup was more the range I needed. As soon as I got him, 8 weeks, I had him in the field. I kept quiet and when he got out a ways I would change directions and not say a word. He soon figured out he needed to keep an eye on me. He's 4 now and I hunt him and never have to say a word. What a ple...

greg jacobs

I've made your mistake. Bought way more dog than I needed. Way too much field trial blood. She was the most independent pup in the litter. She is an 800 yd dog and was by 6 months, and I needed a 2 or 300 yd dog. Figured out that I was over my head.These people have given you far better suggestions ...

Around here huns run and are hard for dogs to handle. Sounds to me like you have some running and spooky birds. Might be the birds and not the dog.

Got up chukar hunting at first light Saturday. We were getting out our vests and guns, turned around and my sons 8.5 year old gsp was already heading down the finger. We called but he was out of hearing range. He looked over and said the GPS collar wasn't turned on. We headed down the finger, fig...

greg jacobs

Start him young understanding that you are a team. The species you hunt will teach him productive range. Many like to let a dog run (wild) for a year or so. That's when you can develop issues that you're going to have to fix later. Because they get a bit older and have developed bad habits, you're ...

greg jacobs

So do you think you are going to have a 300 yd dog or 600 to 1000 yd dog. I've got one of each and prefer the 300 yd dog. The 800 or 1000yd dog and I don't see eye to eye always. Much easier to buy the range of pup that works naturally at the range you are comfortable with.

Nice. Sounds like she is doing pretty good for 5 months.

Try chicken soup for the soul. Strange name but my picky eater eats it without top dressing it. Pretty good food also, my dogs do well on it. And don't over feed. And measure amounts and feed twice a day with 60% at night. Give him 15 or 20 minutes then pick it up. They have to learn to eat when giv...

greg jacobs

I would absolutely stay away from the dominate pup. Depending on the breeding they can turn into a handful for a novice trainer. I ended up with the last pick on a high powered litter and she was the dominate female. I've had my hands full with her. Haven't decided if she is the worst or best dog I'...

greg jacobs

Glad to hear that generally all is well. Thought you cut back a few years ago. 15 doesn't sound like cutting back. Sounds like numbers crept back up. Now that's a for real dog person.

greg jacobs

Which dogs?

greg jacobs

A smart old wild pheasant is a handfull for an inexperienced dog. Your dog would probably love to point them and I'll bet he knows it's a game bird. May take some time for him to learn how to handle them. No dog can handle every pheasant correctly because some pheasants just refuse to be handled. Al...

greg jacobs

That's great news! I thought that breeding might produce some nice dogs. Nice find. Enjoy the ride. A month then and another month later on would be a great investment. Is he taking more after the sire or dam? Don't think he will get to big. Think you will end up with a nice size athletic dog. Good ...

greg jacobs

The Internet has its limits – or perhaps my typing skills have their limits. I'm sure others will fill in for my unwillingness to address the subject of why your dog should be steady to wing. Steady to shot is a different story for many. But I'd suggest you read a few basic books on the subject of ...

Great story!!!

greg jacobs

Greg, people mourn in various ways. Some choose to honor the person during their lifetime, when it counts, for example. Others may not feel the need to parade their feelings in front of judgmental types as a sort of test of their loyalty, as another example. Not talking, test of their loyalty. Just...

Welll... In fairness, I see 41 under "thanks Ezzy333", some of which do address his passing.

I'm pretty disgusted that the topic of Ezzy passing has only gotten 10 replies.

Godspeed Ezzy

Glad I'm a shorthair guy. There are lots of nice litters to choose from. I don't have to buy a pup without full registration. Breeders can choose to provide only limited registration papers until they are satisfied. And I can choose to find another litter. Pretty simple.

greg jacobs

Dang, a new girlfriend and a puppy. Things are looking up Don!

The older I get the more I appreciate a pointing breed. They cover a lot of ground. When they go on point I catch up. It just takes longer to catch up now. All the pointing breeds have lines that are easily 1000 yd dogs, Definitely not for the faint of heart. They also have lines that are 100 yd dog...

greg jacobs

One other thing. If you hunt in extreme weather you need to watch for hypothermia. Especially if it is wet. Don't get too far from some source of heat. That you can get to quick if the dog starts shivering …….Cj For sure. Was hunting in a pouring rain on a day that was sitting at 32. One of my dogs...
