right big Steve- bird dog Hall O Fame is what I think is the game now

Shadow

I don't know about 95%- but good point- now we have vege's and so many want things easy- old values of hard work had it's rewards wasn't to long shooting 100's of 22 shells was changed to - if you keep it up you work for those shells and learn- same with shot gun- valuable lesson you sometimes wonde...

Shadow

good story Big- northern Minnesota huh- trapping was important to us- I liked carrying dads 22 H&R 9 shot revolver on the trap line

lots of fish for us- summer and winter- dad was pretty strict on obeying the laws

Shadow

good age for you and your first pointing dog- nice looking Britt- she's pretty young to be asked to hold point for very long- I'd try to hurry and come in from in front of her-

Shadow

I went to archery arround Lawrence long ago- 5 were enough to keep me in meat all year- here- you're lucky to see a deer

but then again- mountains are fun for elk

Shadow

you might want to check into NSTRA- another good Britt up there would be nice

got a picture you can put up of yours- tell us some more

Shadow

summer in Mn- winter in Alabama- sounds like my folks

figure all those deer you'd be pretty much living on venison- not bad for a long life- eh

Shadow

sent you a pm

Shadow

Tommy- got three hens and males that are just starting to lay eggs- if you'd like to try and hatch some eggs

Shadow

ahhhhhhh Maverick- getting better- brother sent me the picture - pretty steep

could be I'll come down- would be a pleasure meeting at a camp site- let these beasts tear up the country

Shadow

agree 100% also

Shadow

thanks for that bit of info Tommy-
on the way to Colorado, 79 miles from me I found a wildlife area with nice water- Colorado
going to check into it-

Shadow

well said Tommy- looks like the nearest water is East of Guymon- thinking of going down there to get the Britt's swimming and camp

Shadow

naaaaaaaaa I'd just as soon these three pairs survive and raise their hatch where they are

all sorts of quail calling right now- sun is just starting to come up- I enjoy listening to them- so do the Britt's

Shadow

hello and welcome to a fun forum sure sounds like you should get that little setter- I'd sort of think it would love to be in the house with you- if she appeals to you you must have seen something that impressed you- not that house dogs are ok :wink: http://i268.photobucket.com/albums/jj7/layoutboat...

Shadow

ahh Maverick- figured you'd be jumping in pretty quick

sister-in-law in Clovis-

course I'd let you know- settin by the campfire stiring things up

you know there aren't any trees here- must have been dreaming

Shadow

hey no problem- Tommy said there was a person down in Texas who wanted to sell her quail- get out of the business she said they were hardy quail, should reproduce- this was last July- I got 20- aside from the 6 I let loose and two dieing- I have a few- enjoy watching them and hearing them- my intent...

Shadow

a bit over two weeks ago I let a male and female loose, they were sticking around and coming by the cage- last weekend I let two hens/two males loose- there's a strip of brush, tall grass, and dead tree brances 30 yards away that runs 100 yards glad to say I've had 6 quail pair up, basically stick t...

Shadow

well that's nice -I have relatives over there- if I get on the road I'll give a holler

Shadow

sure sounds like the right thing to do- get the pup back- you know your Britt's and he's young-
bet he's happy to be back

Shadow

that's pretty good all right

wife says don't you ever get tired of the Britt's- and why don't you train them to behave- huh!

Shadow

heck Greg- maybe we should meet up in SW Minn with Big- and try a little bit of flushed pheasants with 22 pistols I dunno ... we'd better use .410s 'cause I'd hate to be resposible for all those .22 projectiles we launched a mile or so up in the air past our targets. :lol: good point- where I used ...

Shadow

whew- you guys are serious on this handgun thing-

heck Greg- maybe we should meet up in SW Minn with Big- and try a little bit of flushed pheasants with 22 pistols

Shadow

I'm going to copy Greg's and post-it on the fridg- while I haven't had mine sprayed by a skunk- yesterday I went into this old barn- smelled something- looked arround- yikes- nice skunk looking at me- backed out thinking- if I had the Britt's loose

Shadow

whew- well said Dave

Shadow

ahhhhhhhh Az- 1st, 2nd hen tipped and went over the top- 3rd tipped and bumped the passenger window- I usually have the windows down- hum- excited pheasant in the vehicle- that would have been a story to talk about- eh willed it- heck- I was thinking keep flying right to the farm- I'll show you wher...

Shadow

There have been lots of times I wish I had a camera also. It is pretty amazing how fast they can fly. Your story reminded me of that guy who flew a single man plane with the geese. So did you feel like one of the flock if only for a moment? :D and there you have it- what I was describing is somethi...

Shadow

good night

Shadow

I feel sorry for your emotional distress you see me as running down those peasants- ahhhhhhhh- you need to go and spend more time amoung the wildlife unlike you- I have helped to restore wildlife and habitat- not sat back and condoned what you percieve as a wanton disregard of wildlife- 31 huh- some...

Shadow

well said- 7-8 weeks it's just a guess and whatever someone feels good about

congrats to you for picking one that you thought fit the new owner- think many breeders would like to offer help as to which pup to pick

Shadow

oh boy- you are on a mission- to kill a hen and her unborn and her next- how many years does a hen live and reproduce- are you for real don't suppose you've ever heard of someone hitting a deer and that deer walking away looking over her should laughing so tell me- you being so kind hearted and all-...

Shadow

manny- we could be on to something here- can you ask him to come on here and talk a bit

Shadow

Tabasco line- never heard of that-

I've got country arround here where your dog won't go very fast after 10 min

Shadow

ahh dwilson- I'm not calling names- if you want to put a label on me that you feel is appropriate that's quite ok-

sorry you feel I have damaged your opertunity to hunt and kill a hen and her brood

where do you hunt and live by the way

Shadow

chasing them down- you are comical- you'd be one of those that would run off the road crashing your vehicle because a squirrel ran in front of your vehicle- hope you don't have anyone else with you when you drive I knew a woman who did just that- on my street- "but office, it wasn't my faul I ran in...

Shadow

And it will probably be dead by morning which sucks since we are coming into the breeding season. Made is all the way through a hard winter to essentially get chased to death by someone in a truck. :( Not so cool now, is it? You're kidding right? Take it somewhere else... ahhhhhhhh give the guy a b...

Shadow

Paper Doesn't Make The Dog.I've seen a few Real Good ones that had what I call Mutant pedigrees that I'd consider toilet paper.And I've seen some out of Knockout pedigrees that I wouldn't feed. yeh- well take 6 pups out of real good papered pups- then take 6 out of your so so papered pups- we'll se...

Shadow

better yet- maybe price shopping and toss up pup A vs pup B

put up the pedigree of the so called good breeding that you are looking at

you haven't said if these are 7 week old pups or-

could it be that you are just looking without any thought to seeing the parents

Shadow

Went to town, stopped in at the pawn shop- Gun and Pawn- weren't interested in CCI 157 primers- but I did get a pack of 100 W209's- so all things ok coming back driving the dirt road at 45 mph- three hens got up from the shoulder and were flying right close alongside the passenger side window- I ste...

Shadow

that's what I figure- think I'll see if I can make a big bang with them

Shadow

Hi Greg- I can't find a gun shop- one I spoke with in Garden City seemed a jerk- didn't make scense to drive 160 miles

Shadow

field trial line of britts and he's not happy- maybe you could invite him to get on this forum
I'd sure like to hear what he has to say

Shadow

maybe you folks down there could invite folks to come hunt- wondering why I saw so many repeat NM groups

Shadow

I'm going to go to a pawn shop that supposedly has some reloading stuff-
I've never done this- but I'm going to see if I can pawn them off

problem is I can't send these anywhere- if someone wanted them

Shadow

I've got two pups- situation would have to a lot worse than yours before I'd leave them with someone else for a long time- if it was me- I'd bring them and right off find someone who could take them out for a maintained walk/run every day- I feel they're at the age they really want to bond you have ...

Shadow

read the detailed letter- going to back out of this

Shadow

southern- I see what you mean- I was going to say- you carry a three gallon jug when you leave the vehicle- I've been happy to carry a couple of those plastic coke bottles- a couple of those and a couple roosters makes for a pretty heavy game bag think anyone in their right mind in dry country would...

Shadow

I know it- dry arround here- no streams- 1.5 hours mine need water- so I carry a couple water bottles- no big deal- even the pups learned to go easy and not spill so much when they drink- "get back you- take it easy" all day- man- not sure about that couple years ago I had a male Britt- he started l...

Shadow

I sure don't think it's a domance thing- I've got an 8 year old, 2 year old, and two 8 month old- they'll lean against me, sit on my feet, swam all over me, lay on my feet, lick my face- just about anything you can imagine if and when they want affection or to be paid attention to- have to holler "e...
