I always make my appt mid morning to avoid everyone else.Once i had a 4:30 and it was a nightmare.

Great job, i know you and Sam have worked hard .What's next? Tony

My Dougie will mark birds that way, only had 1 judge tell me to pick him up.Most hunting judges will let them mark as long as they don't move towards bird. I'm not going to try to make him stop.

Sometimes i feel i'm not close enough but it is nice to run up there and run dogs .Great people and no bs.I like that.

You will not be sorry. My Dougie is headed back there in a few weeks to get ready for the trial season.i'm just 2hr and 42 minutes from her so i may have to go see Jersey once she gets there.Dang,heck fire and somb#!%& all translate pretty easy once you get the hang of it. She will be in good hands.

Good looking girl, keep us posted on her progress.

I use a 28 SKB O/U when i shoot for hunt test and training . 20 SKB o/u on pheasants. My 20 is 18 years and no problems at all .

deseeker, you are probably right. Where i hunt in Neb we have lost all but 1/4 section of crp back to crops.I hunt about a 15 sq. mile area and every year we loose more crp. Last year they tore out 5 sections and put oivets on them . We saw about 30 % of birds than what we usually see.Between that a...

I didn't have to freeze it. I also saw a quail on the next brace.

I grew up hunting quail so i really like south ga bobs.

My first dog was a setter, Flaming Star pup. This dog to me looks like Bobby Joe . I'm thinking Grouse Ridge lines ? Tony

Great pics, maybe we can get you to come down to Ga and take some pics in the pines. Always wished more people would take pics at trials and hunt test. Good job and thanks for sharing. Tony

19 passes, that's 9.5 hours of walking.I'm tired just thinking of that.Did you keep count on number of passes for the year and also how many FT placements ya'll had. I know ya'll had a heck of a year.Congrats, Tony

No, my dogs see them daily as they bed within 25 feet of my runs.My dogs walk to feed horses with me every day and deer are always in the pasture and they just ignore them now

If you ever get tired of that dog send him to Ga, i'll feed him. Can't get better looking than that. Tony

One weekend i gunned and put birds out for a hunt test. I think i learned more on that weekend ( good and bad). Getting to watch different people and dogs and how they handled many situations. If you get the chance to gun, do it. Tony

Both of mine are spayed and it hasn't changed how they hunt . If they are birddogs , it will not matter

The closes thing i can find is Ohio. I will make it down next year. Will and Alan both live 30 minutes from me, said the grounds are very nice and the trip is not a bad one.Congrats on a good weekend .

Sounds like a heck of a weekend. I wanted to come down and bring Dougie, but this was my 25th anniversary. Didn't even ask.

Two broke dogs, my bad. A youngster needs his time alone in the field.

Always two dogs,They learn how to work together and get birds pinned .

Chaingang, i agree. I always thought that Dougie had a head like Rip also the way he stands his birds. Never thought of Hustler , but Rip is his son.Hadn't seen many pics of him.I had the pleasure to gun for Brenda and Rip for a Nstra trial.What a dog he was.
