Yes... and No. When I was a kid we hunted elk just across the way (south) in the Zuni Mountains. Lots of big ones there too, in fact one of the record holders came from there a few years ago. Good turkey hunts and some monster mule deer too. They had closed the area for a number of years as a manage...

Yeah. Mount Taylor on the north side right there at Grants. You can see it from the airport in Albuquerque, 90 miles off. With all the snow it's gorgeous right now.

Hey Cool! When you went to hunt Elk on the Laguna Res did you hunt south of I-40? When you came to Grants the second time from Roswell did you come up from the Pie Town area or Socorro to NM 117 and then north? If you did you went right by a piece I have just south of the Acoma Res. at Wild Horse Ca...

I ran a poll in this Forum a few years ago as I was just getting started.

It ran about 85% preference for females as being the better, more reliable hunters.

Depends on what you'll expect the dog to do. I just picked a pup that will be campaigned in high desert Field Trials. The dog I picked was the most pushy, bold dog of the bunch. He was noticeably bigger than the other 8 week olds. He will need to be a big going, smart, hyper-active, long winded and ...

No. I've been through the Museum with the Underground Mine you can tour. My younger brother worked the Uranium mines in the late 70's so it was really interesting. He used to describe what he did but I got a lot better feel for it going through the tour. There is a new restaurant there in Grants cal...

Thanks, Coot.

Thanks, Karen. I didn't know that. I'll check into it.

Do you have a link for the Dennis George Saddles? I've got an issue with the saddle we are using on my wife's M Fox Trotter. He's wide at the withers (nickname Diesel) and short backed. We're using an Amish that's uncomfortable for the rider and something she bought from a company in Iowa that's unc...

Nice. I really like the Tennessee Walkers.

This is TOO funny: My Farrier just called to schedule for tomorrow!

Perdido

I think I can get my guys done for $70- per here too. I don't use the 70 buck guy ($35- to trim only) because my regular Farrier ($40- trim) specializes in the angles needed for gaited horses. And he agrees with me that they don't go where shoes are required. It's all soft (beach like) desert sands....

Perdido

$120.00 is about $40- per horse on shoes. That's pretty dang good. I'm giving $40- per horse just for the trims, shoes is double. We trim about every 8 wks year-round. We never shoe. I had a guy tell me when I was horse shopping that he never shod his horses cause in nature they're not shod. I thoug...

What would you consider "overpriced" but not an exorbitant oddity? $7500 for a nine month old puppy is in my experience an extremely rare occurrence for a bird dog.

What would you say is a high price to pay for a pup that happens somewhat frequently?

Perdido

Mind if I inquire what an "inflated price" would be?

For cryin' out loud, it's just for fun. Chill out.

You're right. I think you guys have convinced me to sell all my stuff. I couldn't agree more.

I can say this right now: We picked him up on Sat morning and this morning he has already figured out that the other dogs will open the back door for him to come back in after being put out... way kewl.

......Eight weeks old tomorrow. I'm stoked.

I think there's good representives of most of the lines.Depends on their genetics and natural abilities they're born with.My lines of choice are Elhew,Guardrail,Miller,or a combination of those lines. That's pretty much exactly the pup I picked up on Saturday. But not for the questioner's reasons. ...

That was a flippant answer and not called for. Set out a goal and the parameters you have to operate under: !) What's in your budget? a) How much travel are you willing to do? b) Shipping? Are you willing to trust the breeder to pick a puppy for you? c) How old of a puppy are you willing to deal wit...

N.M. requires Hunter's Safety as well. I was born well before the requirement dates but I have attended the class with 3 of my five kids and will attend again this spring with my grandson.

I never felt like any of the time or money was wasted. Just take the course, it may save your life.

I have sent the money in for a puppy that I intend to train for AFTCA events AND to be a good quail hunter.

As I first started Field Trialling with the AFTCA in N. M. I thought I would go in cheaply in case it proved to be a passing fancy. I do this as a matter of course if what interests me at the moment might be pricey. I did the same when I started (back) into the game of golf. Clubs and such can be ex...

You and I see eye-to-eye on a lot of issues. Most of them as a matter of fact.

A little late maybe to be chiming in... I read all of the posts and that is as much fun as I've had on the 'net in a while. One thing I noticed and would like to offer, after you get your pony: If you get a warmblood (Foxtrotter, Saddlebred, Walker, etc.) be cautious of the supplements you feed. A l...

30 degrees f and no wind. No. If it's windy and the dog is getting wet it might be a good idea, then if it gets lots colder you've got the dog covered. They make a lot of nice ones, with varying degrees of insulation. Make sure the one you buy fits up snug. Lay it in front of the dog. Stand over the...

DO NOT hunt the Quail after about 3:00 pm! The birds must have time to covey up and if you pursue the birds after the initial flush they will be widely scattered. If they don't have time to covey up they will succumb to the cold during the night. Get there early, real early and you can catch them be...

Very nice! I like the little variation with the front section. Is that set up for a landing board? A little stain and some trim goes a long way toward mollifying the doubters... I have had trouble with the particle board on my landing board and on the floor. If it gets wet much it disintegrates pret...

My female GSP was 14 lbs the first time I took her to the vet for her shots (8 weeks?). One month later she was 28 lbs.

Just for hunting: Favorite is a Magnus Light 28 ga Cesar Guarini, quail. O/U I use a little Fausti in .410 O/U or a smooth Beretta SP in 20 ga for dove.

Billy Ray All you're doing is trying to stir something up. I never mentioned Westwind. I could care less about them or GSP's in general. But the fact is someone new to bird dogs could be overwelmed by a high octane dog. Don't know if thats what Westwind has or not and don't really care. Isn't that a...
