Welcome to GDF. You'll love this place.

I say it all the time. You know that saying that beer is proof that God loves us? Nope, it's dogs~

...best of luck to you.

NEhomer

Just terrfic stuff. Thanks for posting it~

NEhomer

Welcome to GDF!

You'll find a ton of information and interesting takes here.

NEhomer

Very nice...thanks for posting them~

NEhomer

Great stuff. Thanks for posting!

NEhomer

To you as well. It was a terrible year but there are always bright spots to look for and the one constant has been the unalienable love between us and our dogs~

Happy New Year to everyone.

NEhomer

Beautiful photos...thanks for Posting and Merry belated Christmas!

NEhomer

Merry Christmas everyone. Thanks for all you do all year Sharon~

NEhomer

That is a great find. Thing is, the dude who sold is sees it as he was gonna toss the darned thing anyway and he's happy with the 50 bucks!

NEhomer

Wonderfully written Obit. Thanks for sharing

....clear skies and open fields Mike~ RIP

NEhomer

Lol!

....indeed why we play this game!

NEhomer

I went to one of my favorite spots this morning with my father in-law. We were both rewarded with the best piece of bird work that my young setter has shown me, actually the best piece of work from any dog that I have ever owned. We were in an absolutely beautiful spot, close to where the opening s...

NEhomer

I'm truly gutted.

Thanks Mike, rest in peace sir~

NEhomer

Mike's posts and pics gave me a lift on many mornings~

I'll miss him around here~ He obviously had a terrific life.

NEhomer

What?!

NEhomer

Stunning photo~

Welcome to GDF Dino.

It's a terrific place to learn and best of luck with your first dog.

HINT...get a setter!

NEhomer

Yeah, he does too, even if I keep him trimmed tight. Thinking my next purchase might not be as pretty. Really? Regardless I had two Brittanys that were half the dog this setter is. I will never have another breed even if I do have to wait for the cooler weather. It might be more important to you th...

NEhomer

Nice!

My setter fades in the heat. Give him a 30degree day and he's good for hours~

NEhomer

What a beautiful pup.

....just bonding and basic obedience at this point. I too own a pointing breed but you'll get plenty of great advice here. Welcome to the forum~

I know that you folks are excited about your dog and the season being upon us but you can either commit to the fact that year one is a training year or face two choices. Either work twice as hard to undo the mistakes or have a dog that's never fully staunch its entire life. because I am just as exci...

NEhomer

Thanks folks. I was just funnin' with Irishwhistler. I know we aren't competing with each other~

I did, however, resist sullying his October Ringnecks thread with a boring tailgate pic from Saturday morning....so I'll do that here! Lol~

NEhomer

...here's a really nice pic of Whip that wifey snapped recently~

NEhomer

Great post. I had a loose dog at the dump jump up and scratch the paint on my truck door as he was going after my dog in the window.

NEhomer

Beautiful stuff as usual...thanks.

NEhomer

Beautiful dog...way to go tess!

Been talking to a guy who really stressed the importance of only shooting pointed birds. Another lesson learned. I know that’s not anything new and you guys already said it but to be honest I just wanted to go hunting. He likened it to telling a kid you’ll only give him candy if he does his chores ...

NEhomer

Going to do some journaling tracking our rookie season. If you are so inclined feel free to check it out and any feedback is welcome. My goal is to just let Tubbs go, minimal to no corrections, lots of encouragement and lots of birds. That being the case if they are in range and in season I'm up an...

NEhomer

Very Common. Hunting cover out of the wind is the best you can do, but high wind days are tough especially with a pointing dog. I delayed my trip to SD this week because the wind was blowing 20-40 MPH and I have the option of going next week instead... When the wind is howling go duck hunting, they...

NEhomer

Nice! They're beautiful dogs.

NEhomer

Welcome Nate. Best of luck with the pup....post a pic when you get a chance~

NEhomer

Does this mean they should close the rest areas. It would be a long haul across Kansas if they do that.......Cj Interstate 70 runs the entire east west length of Kansas and 1000s of people from out of state use it, stop and buy gas, food, use the restroom facilities. Interstate 35 travels the entir...

You know, I live in MA and do most of my bird hunting just over the border in CT. I'd better look into this. Cripes! I’ll say this in all seriousness. Turkey season last spring was a mess. Every state did something different. Some didn’t sell out of state tags, some closed state land to the public ...

You can bring a dog in if he runs too big,what you cant do is train him to handle the heat. If I were your son that would be the first thing I would make sure. I dont see Rymans handling heat very well. This is very good advice. Although I can brag about how well my setter adjusts his range, he cle...

NEhomer

The very first thing I'd do is get a check cord. I found some 1/4" nylon rope that had 1/8" steel cable in the middle of it. It made a fantastic check cord for real cheap...the pup could do figure 8s around chair legs and it won't tangle. About a 10 footer would be ideal for a 9 week old. It will he...

NEhomer

Oh man, this reminded me of the time just about exactly 5 years ago when I was in OP's shoes! I made a thread asking for advice the day that my setter Whip was months old and I couldn't kick him out from under foot to spot a woodcock that was walking right in front of us. Everyone told me to not wor...

NEhomer

Few hunts are more thrilling that taking a big tom. Congrats and thanks for sharing the pic.

NEhomer

Beautiful pup...thanks for sharing~

NEhomer

Nice! I've had two Britts. You can see that same look in the avatar pup.

It's always amazing to see video of your dog as a pup after knowing it as an adult. All the mannerisms are there right from the start!

Things changed so rapidly last week that we went from a two week shut-down and plans of using snow days and making up the two weeks to a complete shut down AFTER dismissing the students for a two week closing. Now we're trying to formulate and implement a viable plan by remote means to hundreds of f...

NEhomer

Well said Shags. I agree 100% with CJ. Italy took a casual approach to C-19. The count today is 3000 dead …and counting! Some see 3000 simply as a number. If it's just ONE person in your family, suddenly it's much more than a number! Physical-distancing is REQUIRED - not social-distancing. If it is...

NEhomer

The entire world is not on shut down because of a media hoax.

Deniers continue to be part of the problem.

Be safe everyone.

....well there is one group that's getting a terrific windfall from this. Think of all the thousands of doggies that have their humans home with them each day!

....not much to say but that she was one lucky Lady~

Sometimes 4/20 interferes with 20/20

Fellow deadhead here OP and years back I was trimming my buddy's plants with him when I looked over and saw my Britt chewing down a nice lil' nugget. Sure enough, she went for a loop...head shaking, lack of coordination. I knew what it was so I just cracked her a beer and put on some Allman Bros. Lo...

NEhomer

The problem with pointing dog photos is that we never capture what it is that makes every point special and exciting to see. The photos always lose something and turn out to be another photo of a dog standing on three legs looking off into space. Kind of the when you seen one you've seen them all t...

NEhomer

Just beautiful...thanks for sharing.

Welcome to GDF~

You'll love this place and all the helpful and knowledgeable folks who hang here.

Congrats on your impending new family member!
