Hi:

My name is Jeff, aka. Shagrunner. I live in Provo, Utah. I have 3 English setters, one male (3 yrs. - avatar) and 2 females, (9 mos and 8 mos respectively).

We hunt dove, all the grouse found here in the West, pheasant and chuckar. We'll be going out this Saturday and next Thursday for chuckar as the 31st is the last day of the season here in Utah.

Then we'll turn all our attention to getting the dogs ready for the field trial season. We run in AF and AKC events. We tried NSTRA but the dogs woudn't stay in a 40 ac. field. :roll:

Besides dogs, hunting and trialing I love to play golf and I snow ski whenever there is fresh powder in our mountains. (Greatest Snow on Earth)

I've been married to the same woman for 30 years. She's an academic, (English professor) at a local university, so we have nothing in common. :lol:

We have 4 kids, all grown and 5 grand-ones which are the loves of my life. I can't wait until they can all go hunting with me.

I own a company that specializes in providing personal protection services to individuals and small companies. www.invisusdirect.com.

I look forward to getting to know you all and partaking of your knowledge and wisdom on topics near and dear to my heart.

The pups are growing so fast that I don't have any current photos. But, like I said, I'm taking them hunting this weekend and I'll make a point of getting some good pix to send along. Thanks for asking.

I have 2 questions. 1. How to I get my avatar as big as all of your? 2. How do I post the rank of my dogs?

Thanks in advance for your answers.

Welcome to GDF !! I believe the ranks you see on the left have to do with how many posts you have made. You avatar will appear bigger if you resize the original to a larger size.
