Colorado Pheasant Hunt
Let's cut him some slack, he was taking his pops hunting. I'm sure he is law abiding. Talk about jumping to conclusions! I hope your dad has many more hunts in the future. We can always raise some more birds but not fathers, just sayin

Good area to hunt pheasant in Kansas?
Instead of beating you up for asking this question I'll add some useful information. If you wait until the upland bird forecast comes out that will be a starting place. Combine that with rainfall maps and it will get you in the areas. The public areas in KS get beat up pretty bad. Some of them will...

Would counties be sufficient or would you prefer gps coordinates? I recommend you get out there and scout/hunt like the rest of us instead of asking for locations on a public forum... Most of us put in a lot of man and dog hours finding the birds. I can't help but laugh at this request... Sorry. I'...

Welcome to the club CT, I hate to hear about your GSP. I've have a 3 year old now and one about 25 years ago. Greatest breed in the world IMO. So I'm guessing that your grouse hunt with the English? I've heard the bird numbers are good there? I live in KY but am a native to PA.

What type of Gun/What barrel lenght do you use
I hunt grouse in Kentucky. Most of the habitat is in very deep thickets so I'm shooting a Russian mp-18 28 inch single barrel synthetic stock. Very light and durable, not worried about dropping it or slamming it against down tree limbs to get a good shot lol. I like the challenge with my fixed modif...

Mine is a 3 year old female, she hunts about three days a week ( grouse season is open). She runs hard for four or five hours and I still have to coax her to get in the vehicle. Crazy dog, when she is not hunting I try to take her to the park and turn her loose, working hand signals and whistle. At ...

With a flusher they don't have time to run, they need to get up in the air. This is the primary reason I decided against a pointing breed. Where I hunt, its so thick and the birds are spooky. A pointing dog would be the same as me walking on my own - it would point and the bird would take off runni...

Four questions for training your first dog
I agree, I have a three year old and train everyday for atleast thirty minutes. In the summer I buy some quail and plant them on a public land where they hold field trials. It helps the pup learn bird behavior. They are very bright pups and learn by trial on each encounter. Don't get impatient. It w...

Mountaineer you are right when speaking on bird numbers here. They cycle and seems that they are getting less and less. My hunt with Bella is more about team work as I stated the last post and spending time in the woods. I'm almost 50 and remember seeing rabbit hunters and bow hunters on any given d...

Thanks Fran for the input, I should have said that this is my 3rd GSP and the last two would hunt as close as the habitat would allow. Some of these guys must hunt preserves and not wild birds

You probably shouldn't own a pointer if you want it to hunt at 30 yards, that's flusher range. You have to learn to let the dog roll and trust it. If he's staying within 100 yards, he's in perfect grouse range. Is this for real - 100 yards for grouse? Are you talking ruffed grouse? Here in northwes...
