Takes some real stupidity to do a shout out to your gang..... Really? Sherman is a complete POS who shouldn't be allowed to play. Not something the NFL should allow. If you see his interview listen to the last part where he is angry and calls out M.O.b. if you didn't know he is from the Compton are...

Seattle Seahawks beat the 49ers and the Denver Broncos beat the new england patriots.

Love it!!!!

There is no way to know from your post if you have a problem. Pointing distance can vary depending on many different factors. You should be able to tell if your dog smells birds and then creeps further in. If this is happening, then you probably do have a problem. If this isn't happening then poor ...

Wish I could, pretty expensive, just spent $1600 on training and she hunts awesomely but not sure if I want to put more money this soon after training.

WillieELk78GSP

Just curious what kind of distance are you looking for when the dog goes on point? My 1.5 Y/O GSP points pretty close to the birds maybe 5 yards at max. Is there a way to lengthen this so she doesn't spook the birds, the release site I hunt in mainly the birds don't spook to easy, so when I finally ...

Thanks for announcing that!!

Cabella at 21 months old, great nose hard hunter!!

WillieELk78GSP

Its costly every trip, but yes with the membership it is even more costly!

WillieELk78GSP

Looks like you had a nice time. What do you think of the area. It's close but I've never been there. Did your dog come from around here. I like going there its a lot of fun and great for the dog when you can't make it to go wild pheasent hunting!! And its great for working the dog, I got my dog out...

WillieELk78GSP

Thank goodness man!!!! You never like or get used to reading these posts.

WillieELk78GSP

Cabella did awesome today, she has been such a joy in the field its nuts, pointed 6 pheasants got 5 of them and she hunted hard for about 3 hrs, she is definitely sore today and paws hurt a bit, but I got info from guys on this website about conditioning her pads with "tough paw" it helped a lot and...

I just want to say how much I've thoroughly enjoyed this topic. It's been great to see so many different breeds of dogs on some very awesome points. I love checking out the new "points" every day. Thanks! :D I did not think I would get this kind of response, I really enjoy it as well and a new hunt...

My year and a half GSP seems to shiver for no reason, just wondering if anyone had any insight to why she does this, its not cold out and its in the house. I know of another GSP that does this frequently. Does this breed just do this or maybe something else is making her do this, So why does she shi...

IMO pheasant is far to good to waste in a stew, so many better alternatives. As for breasted goose, we split the goose breasts and marinate them overnight in a zip lock bag and grill them: 1/2 c vegetable oil 1/2 cup soy sauce 1/2 cup lemon 1 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce garlic pepper * Do not overcoo...

WillieELk78GSP

So I first have pheasant and would like to make stew, and thoughts? And I also have goose that I would love to try I have never eatin goose before but with the luck I had today duck hunting came home with 2 geese we got 4 total, I breasted them already. So maybe just do it like a stake or maybe some...

WillieELk78GSP

What does the scent cone do when its hot out? My dog and I went to a release site and they put out 5 pheasants and it didn't seem like she could smell them until she could get right on top of them!! Is this normal? It was about 90 degrees out!

Thanks
Will

WillieELk78GSP

OK y'all I finally bought a pistol S&W 357, wasn't what I wanted but its a great shooting gun. And I got it for a steal!!!

Thanks everyone for your opinions and all the info on guns you provided me.

I would say more work to toughen up the pads

The pads are black with gray in the middle than where it transfers to skin its red. Thanks everyone for the suggestions!

So me and my 1.5 y/o GSP went to a hunt club today and it was awesome. Got 2 roosters and a chuckar.(planted birds) but still fun for me and the dog!!! But she has really sore paws, is this normal? I can hardly touch them and she pulls back and starts licking them. I don't see any cuts or anything i...

I am considering getting a Jeep Wrangler (2 door), however, I am worried that there is just not enough room for all my hunting gear, guns, etc. Does anyone use a Wrangler for hunting?

This is who I used and he is great. There are other trainers in the area and I visited a few of them. Quicksilver kennel is a bit of a drive but well worth it! I am going to have another dog trained by him in the future!

SpringerDude wrote:How old is the dog?

Was it retrieving before you sent it to the trainer?

The dog is 15 months old, and she retrieved but it was a tennis ball, i gave her some dead birds but never made her play fetch with them, probably should have though!

WillieELk78GSP

Yes the trainer did say thay he didnt believe in it at all, i like the trainer he is very good with my dog, he will not ff so i might have to do it myself! Thanks everyone

WillieELk78GSP

I called the trainer that is training my GSP and he says she is doing awesome, he said she is steady to wing and shot now and that she just started holding while the bird falls and he can give the command to fetch, my question is he told me that she is not retrieving very well, she will go up to the...
