Hello GDF, haven't been here for awhile. Thought I'd post the only halfway decent pic I snapped over the weekend.

Is that a longtail GSP? Yep, undocked little heathen my wife brought home one day. Her exact words - "I just had to save her" :lol: So I jokingly call her my rescue dog even though she didn't come from a rescue group just a drunk hillbilly she bought her from for the price of case of beer. :( Nothi...

Old repost I thought I'd get some more mileage out of.

Might help if you make one out with what you have and others can help you fill in the blanks. Not giving anybody much to go on here.

Over a hundred years you would thing a GSP could have at least managed and honorable mention at a grouse championship.........guess they've been to busy studying for a fur test. :lol: :lol: Still at it huh.

Trying to plan a late season hunt in KS this far in advance and coming all the way from Georgia sounds like a recipe for a headache. Not that the hunting can't be good in the late season. Birds are a little harder to come by and they're spookier when you do get on them. But the hunting can still be ...

and Chip & Mint was far superior in every way Not if your eating in the grouse woods, have you ever tried it there? Chip N Mint is middle of the road at best. Nice try though. I'm laughing too hard to come up with any good reply to this. So you just go ahead and have your Blueberry custard in The G...

we have different breeds of dogs for the same reason that we have different flavors of ice cream. Some like vanilla, some like rocky road. True, but blueberry cheesecake ice cream is far superior. No way.. Anything blueberry is mediocre at best. Vanilla, Rocky Road, Pfffff, You're both wrong. Chip ...

Bah, nesting reports, rural mail carrier studies, State Department of Wildlife official reports..... don't pay much attention to any of it anymore.

Multiple females are a headache, spayed or not, regardless of age or relationship. Boys can be a lot more rambunctious, but are usually more agreeable to the idea of getting along. .

lately there has been a lot of arguing between the two sects of our bird dog world, the trialer's and the hunters (I'm excluding the people who do both) and I'm having a very difficult time understanding why ? There is a lot of BS going on and I'm tired of it we all love our dogs and we all do what...

Why can't I be so lucky. Don't know if that is a great way to start but it's where I'm starting. Thinking about this buddy of mine that I've hunted with once or twice a year every year since the stone age. Well maybe more like 20 years or so now. Anyway every time I go hunting with this guy the last...

Took me a second to find the birds on the log too. When I first looked at it I was wondering how you got the gun to balance like that. :P Sounds like you had a good time. Good stuff, woodcock are a blast to hunt. The sound of pellets zinging threw tree branches fills my head just looking at your pic.

Thanks guys. Taking a second to admire another beutiful Kansas sunset was a great way to end a good day in the field.

When the wind farms started coming to Kansas I was pretty open minded about it and really still am. Taking a drive down I-70 I can't help but get a sour taste in my mouth though. The Smoky Hills Wind Farm alone takes up 20,000 acres of some of the formerly finest landscape in Kansas. It produces a 2...

Hey Everyone, I have a 10 month old Llewellyn Setter. This is his first hunting season and I have had him out about a half dozen times so far and have shot birds over him each time. I worked him on pigeons and a few pheasants throughout the summer and into the fall up until the season started. We a...

Thank you for the replies. Didn't realize stating I would like a dog with good teeth could be controversial. Funny I was actually meaning teeth when I wrote that and had overlooked bite. A good bite would be nice and I would prefer it in a pup, marginally bad bites of dogs on the pedigree could be o...

So what gross generalizations can you provide about shorthair lines? :mrgreen: Any with the words " VD Himmel" "Gamble's" or "Snip's" in the pedigree are bad A$$!!! :P Clown dogs are runoffs, Rusty dogs won't live past 5, With Saddle dogs you'll need a fast horse and Slick dogs are tough as nails a...

In my earlier post I was poking a bit of fun at the ridiculousness of some of the generalizations of the lines within the breed. Whilst giving a bit of compliment to a few people's dogs on the forum. As well as express my gratitude for the fine breeding of one of my own. It occurs to me now that the...

Nice site. Competitive prices, and free shipping on orders over $25. Will keep you in mind next time I need to order something.

Just my 2 cents. It is a fine line between too dizzy and not dizzy enough. The more you do it, the better feal you will get for it. A full on spinning motion isn't always needed. Also be gentle when tucking the head.

Welcome to GDF. Since you went and joined you are now obligated to post lots of pics of your dogs. It's in the fine print.

Ditch__Parrot

The discussion of semantics is lost on me. I don't think too many people will argue that if you want a dog that hunts a certain way your best bet is to find 2 dogs that have been bred that both hunt in the manner that you prefer. It is no guarantee though. If you are lucky and if you bring up and tr...

I also think Greg provided a reasonable summary of a few thoughts posted on this thread. This subject can be debated forever. It is possible we could agree on a few things. A good pointer to hunt with: 1. is honest on it's birds, standing well off & by it's actions hold the birds as well as possibl...

I used to use a Dogtra also. Replaced it back in late '08. At that point it was 4 years old and the battery would no longer hold charge at all.
