Bear hunting with a bow with a hundgun for back-up, If I were you I would buy a 357 or 44 Mag revolver Ruger or Smith & Wesson they both are excellent guns.

homestead setters

I would just like to point out that having field trial champions in a bloodline does not make bird dogs. A line of dogs that have been hunted on wild birds for generations will produce bird dogs just as well if not better as those that have been "proven" in the racing competitions that we call field...

I would like to wish everyone on the forum a Merry Christmas. Remember that Jesus Christ is the reason for the season. He is God in the flesh who was born into the race of mankind by a virgin girl named Mary. He lived a spotless, sinless life and then went to the cross and died for our sins and 3 da...

Beautiful pictures, looks like you have a good place to train and work with your dogs.

Thanks for the info RayG.

homestead setters

I am a setter man first and foremost, but I appreciate any breed of dog that will get the job done. My question to the pointer men on the forum is this, which modern english pointer bloodlines go to back to the Rip Rap dogs? If my memory serves me right these were black and white pointers who were w...

Great Joke

Save your money a little longer and buy a Ruger # 1. Mine is a 270 and an excellent rifle.

homestead setters

Good pictures and a good looking pointer too. What is his bloodline?

homestead setters

The best bird hunting dog in my opinion is the english setter. If you want a trailing dog for large or small game, you need a plott hound. If you need a retriever get a lab. These are my picks. I have never owned a lab but have seen several work out of a duck blind. I have bird hunted behind setters...

If you buy your own thrower you can set up shots as you please, you will have to have a helper.

Beautiful pictures. Looks like a good time was enjoyed by all.

Take up skeet or sporting clay shooting it will help you more than you can imagine.

My boys and I hunt out of my 1997 Ford F-150 extended cab 4x4 with a 2 hole houndsman deluxe dog box with top storage and a deep well tool box for storage. Also have strapped a utv gun sleeve to the back of the bucket seats to hold 2 guns and other things like shells in the multitude of pockets on i...

Loved your pictures, I'm glad ya'll had a good time. I'm planning to take my sons to Kansas next year, any advice on where to go etc.?

homestead setters

Just put the dog in birds, and have fun hunting him this season. Don't get too hung up on "training" at this point, bird contact will bring out what you want to see.

Been wearing Carhartt bibs for years, they hold up and are worth the money regardless of how many plants the company owns in other countries.

Great pictures. What bloodlines are the setter out of?

20 gauge savage/stevens 311 sxs & 28 gauge cz redhead o/u

homestead setters

I've hunted with a modell 311 in 20 gauge for a long time.( It was my 1st shotgun purchase at 16 or 17 and I'm now 45). I've owned a lot of shotguns over the years, but my bird gun is still the old savage 311. I can hit with it, and with it's 26 inch barrels, It is a good handling gun, I still carry...

Put him in the wild birds and just hunt him.

homestead setters

That's a good looking shorthair you have there. I'm new to the forum myself but have been bird hunting behind dogs all my life. I don't trial my dogs either just hunt them. Put that dog in birds and he will make you a good one.

I currently own 2 English Setters, and have hunted Setters for over 20 years. I like setters because: 1- They will get in the rough where the birds are. 2- Class & style on point. 3- They will hunt for me and not for themselves. 4- Temperment. 5- I own and hunt setters because they are what I think ...

My Boys and I hunted about 2 hours on Saturday morning. Found one covey but didn't kill any birds. My young dog Sport bumped them in heavy cover & we didn't shoot because he bumped them. This was his first wild bird hunt. He will learn that he can't get as close to them as he can training quail. We ...

We also hunt private land. Last year we got into 2 coveys on opening day and we just hunted about 2 hours late in the afternoon. Quail seem to be coming back strong in our area because there is more grain and less cotton being raised.

Going wild quail hunting Saturday with my 2 oldest sons and our English Setter Sport. Been scoping out some places to hunt and our prospects look good.

homestead setters

Just wanted to say hello to everyone. I am new to the forum but have been bird hunting behind English Setters for over 20 years. I hope everyone has a good hunting season.
