Yes, that's a GoPro... I clamped it to the bill of my hat .. haha

appreciate the compliments, Buster is a real go getter in the field and a total couch potato at home.

We're still working on the reteieves, but he loves to flush & find em.

Great idea ... would love to hear about hunting on the Emerald isle.

I'm in the Chicago area, but my parents are from the "Old Country" (Dad is a Donegal man and Mom is from Leitrim)

I'll be following your tweets !!!

I use DAMMIT !!

works on the kids too.

Ezzy, Really appreciate your hospitality and recommendations. (Buster was retrieving that live bird this morning in the backyard) Cory Jesse Joe Dave Truly a pleasure meeting all of you guys. Joe, let's talk about setting up a field goose hunt. Jesse, I have my Wisconsin lisence & stamps, let me kno...

Looks like we'll have some decent weather on Saturday.

1 week to go... I'm jazzed. It's been too hot to do any field work with Buster, so we've been playing at the lake:

Hi Ezzy,

PM sent

Here's a good looking ESS (a face only a father could love)

Will do, there are always places to duck hunt, I am sure Joe or me or someone else can always help you find a good duck hunting spot. If it didn't cost me an arm and leg I would come down there to take you out. But the licenses are a killer for me. Jesse Thanks Jesse, I've already shelled out the b...

You can count me in as confirmed for 5 birds.

The potential long term benefits I see here far outweigh the short term conflict for me.

Thanks again for this opportunity.

Hey Guys, Is the July 30th date set ? That's the same day as the waterfowl blind site drawing for the Fox Chain, and I need to be there because I have no other real duck hunting options. Brittlver, If you guys change the date, I can be there and will use 5 birds, if not, I won't need those birds. B...

I have to echo the other replies here. My ESS is very young, (9 months) and we take him to the dog park almost every evening. At the park, he runs free with the other dogs, jumping into the kiddie pools, head held high, etc. But when we're out training in the cover, he reverts right back to his hunt...

Hello All, I'm the new guy who'll be attending. My name is Pat and my 9 month old ESS is Buster. We live in McHenry County. I've been training Buster on my own as I can't afford to send him away to "camp" so this opportunity is golden for us. I've been working with him since he's been 10 weeks old, ...

That would be great, please PM or email the details

Thanks

Pat

I own both .... my Springer wins hands down in the field.... much better in the water as well

Just wondering if anyone in NE Illinois who might be training a young dog would like to team up with me to work our dogs together.

My English Springer is 9 months old now. I started him off very young by banging pots while he was eating, (that never bothered him). The we used to play fetch in the hallway with a capgun, (no reaction either) Still haven't moved up to gunfire yet because we've been busy doing field work. But he pa...
