Re: "Roading" tips- bike or treadmill?

I strongly recommend a product called "Cycle Leash" I have been using one for about 10 years. It is attached to the seat post of your bike, angles out around your leg, and has about an 18" elastic strap that snaps onto the dog roading harness. I had a dog that pulled me over several times on gravel ...

Re: Woodcock Migration 2017

I was seeing lots on my own farm (SE Manitoba) the week of Oct. 16- 21, and couldn't even walk my dog to the mailbox without getting one pointed. On the 16th spotted 10 over 5 clean points in an hour on my back 40. Most I've seen in a few years.

Re: Hunting late season sharptails

I have often noticed that sharptails often have a "lookout bird" sitting up in a tree while others are feeding on the ground. Makes it real tough to get close. Also in the late season, several groups will join together and make a "super covey". I have seen November flushes of 100 plus birds.

Re: Question for Pointer and Setter guys and gals

I don't believe there are tons of differences in running style between North American English Setters and Pointers. Probably more differences between individual dogs.

You know me. If you want to see a hot bred Pointer that moves great already at 5 months, give me a shout.

Re: Who hunts in the rain?

How about pen raised birds? I plan on hunting a preserve in a couple of weeks and wondered if I should go if it's wet. You might not be pleased with quail performance if they get wet. If you go in the rain stick to phez. Chukars may be OK but haven't had much experience with them in those conditions.

Also it won't scratch your rig. You have to use about 3" or larger or the dog(s) will bend it. Found that out the hard way.
