Can you give us some more info...
Loacation, type of dog, etc.

I have an Annie Belle and a Jesse Belle (my wife wasn't happy with that choice).
Used to have Sally Sue
My brother has Emmy Lou

If you go out to John Martin it may be worth trying around Queens (Neenoshe) Reservoir also. Fifteen years ago there were some bobs there, then again, fifteen years ago there were some bobs in a lot of places.

I like the idea of a started dog as well. How old is a started dog typically and would you be able to start hunting with the dog that year? I got my first pointer puppy as a teenager. I didn't have a clue how to train a dog (still don't :lol: ) or the resources to do so. The dog never did make and ...

Thanks again Jay,
I'll start researching that area.

Thanks Jay,
That's what we are leaning toward but not sure what region of the state to concentrate our efforts.

My brother and I typically load up the dogs and go to the Oklahoma panhandle around New Years for a 4-5 quail hunt. We have done well enough in years past to always return, but this year the numbers are so low we are wanting to look elsewhere. We will be leaving from Bartlesville, Oklahoma and are w...

Ptarmigan hunt in Alaska. I think it was December 27th. Truck thermometer said -34° F and the wind was blowing on the ridges. Dog had no problems. We did have a vest on her durring the hunt though, just took it off for the pictures. That was a fun hunt! Here's another picture from that same day. ht...

Wow, just read all the comments below the article. Ignorance runs amuck.

Funny, I read the same article today and my first thought was "I wonder if it's just me or was this a horrible article written to make a hero out of this woman while totally ignoring the fact that there is no evidence of the dog being mistreated?"

I do not trial, therefore my stance on style is any way my dog points! I understand some people must have 12oclock tail, but I simply love a solid intense point no matter where the dogs tail is!! That imo, and understand everyone does not agree! Can't agree more. I once found my dog sitting on a sn...

Just to clear a couple things up... The breeder has spoken to my vet. We live several states apart so a second opinion by a vet of his choice isn't really an option. I am in no way trying to harm the breeder’s reputation. I am keeping the pup and she will not be euthanized. After spay she should liv...

I'm going to be purposely vague about my dog and breeder here so please no questions about specifics. I purchased a puppy from a breeder who places an "unconditional health guarantee" on all his dogs. He told me the guarantee covers any genetic medical defects for the life of the dog. The details of...

Well we all know that watching the dogs work and seeing those views are the real reasons we hunt anyway. Glad you got a few though. Looks pretty up there.

I must admit that I have no experience with any of the lesser known breeds, with that said I have dedicated hours upon hours doing research. I have talked to many Pudelpointer owners and all of them were very satisfied. I'm thinking about getting one myself. Only problem is that they are rather hard...

That's the site I am having problems with. Every time I try my Anti-Virus says it detects a Trojan horse. Can you access the site with no problem?

Hey Covey, does Premier have a web site? I did a search and I think I found them but my anti-virus kept flagging the site.n Were are they located in Ok?

I was lucky enough to spend three years in South Dakota, loved every minute of it. It seems like every time I finally suppress the urge to drop everything and head back up there something reminds me of why I loved it. Your post has done that, thank you.

About what?

well keep me posted

PCO, I was just giving you a hard time. Is the new assignment in an area with good bird populations? I hope so, if not I know someone who would keep Belle for you.

About that accomplishment, thanks, you were instrumental in getting it under way.

Have you looked into starting a chapter?

This is a little off topic but has anyone found a memory foam bed at a reasonable price? I used to buy them at Wal-Mart for $20-$30 but they don't sell them anymore. My dogs loved them and I would like to find them again. I don't remember what brand they were but but they were a lot cheaper than the...

Once had a shorthair named "Dammit." The name was very fitting. Nothing like being in the field yelling "Dammit come, Dammit whoa, Dammit get in the truck..."

My pointer has brought such pleasure into my life that there is no expense I would not pay to keep her going (I have already invested thousands in vet bills, including cancer surgery). With that said, if the dog is going to suffer for the rest of her life I think the decision is simple. Sometimes sh...

Spoil sport. When looking at schools for my graduate degree I can honestly admit that hunting opportunities nearby are a big factor. It's not that I don't take my school seriously, it's just that if I'm going to dedicate that kind of effort and money I want to enjoy my free time.

A few years ago I wanted a beeper but could not afford one. My solution was a $5 bell. I always knew where the dog was until she went on point, but even then I knew about where she was because I had heard her a few seconds earlier. No batteries, no expense, no worries.

Well Brian, considering your dislike for snow I will concentrate in the south. I live in Oklahoma and there are still some birds in the western part of the state (bobwhite and pheasant), but nothing like they used to be. Oklahoma University is in Norman and within a couple hours of some good hunting...

I began this post two and a half years ago. At the time my answer would have been South Dakota but I must admit, after doing some research I am looking forward to hunting Oregon. I think it may offer a better variety of species. If anyone is from that area I would love to get some input on what area...

I think ZZ nailed it on the head. I wish I were that creative when it comes to naming dogs.

I've also heard that bermuda grass is bad on the population. I guess it's too thick, they can't run through it very well, making them easy prey.

I hate to admit it, but I go out expecting to get skunked. If I do find some birds it's like a nice surprise. I've even began to call my "hunts" nature walks with the dog.

Bobwhite, nothing gets your heart pumping like a big covey coming up from under your feet.

Looks like a beautiful hunt, is it realistic to hunt that open country and vast expanse by foot?

Good info, I agree, that's why my 22-250 is normally in the truck.

I have heard and read many things about the effect of turkey on quail numbers. Some say that turkey will eat quail chicks and others say they have no effect. I know that in my area the turkey numbers never were that good until about ten or fifteen, which is about the time the quail had a drastic dec...

From talking to other quail hunters, ones that are old enough to remember the "good old days," and game wardens it seems to be destruction of habitat and rise in predators. I do know that the populations fluctuate with the weather too, they don't seem to thrive in harsh winters or extreme droughts. ...

I've always heard that birds make bird dogs. I agree with the guys saying that your dogs will learn from it.

I hope the ice storm doesn't ruin your hunt, I'm in NE Oklahoma and it's pretty bad.

Can the shorthairs run that big country as well as the pointers?
Were those pics taken in Idaho?

whoa on 'em

call me a softy but I don't stay at a hotel/motel that wont allow my pointer in the room. It costs a few extra bucks but the peace of mind is worth it. I once had a lab stolen out of my back yard and I don't chance anything now.
