That is the subject. According to you. Which is the entire problem with this thread. You/Ray think a 50-100 yard dog is irrelevant and useless. And when a guy disagrees with proven dogs...you cut on us both because it makes you feel better about yourself. Reminds me of liberal snowflakes. Anyway......

ThreeBritts

Anyway...have a good night.

I have a big day of doing absolutely nothing tomorrow. Well, other than picking up my truck from the shop.

ThreeBritts

Why the need to change the subject?

ThreeBritts

He meant what he said and said what he meant...and as an after thought.... scaled it back. Useless and Irrelevant are pretty much synonyms.

And BTW...we both know Ray wasn't talking about dogs that don't get out to just 25 yards.....

ThreeBritts

Umm.....here is the exact quote: I personally have no idea why. I always thought that if a pointing dog never got out beyond gun range, they were pretty much useless...well maybe not useless, but certainly irrelevant. If I have to walk there anyway...why feed a dog to go find birds I was going to wa...

ThreeBritts

No...my attitude came from Ray saying dogs that hunt close are Irrelevant and useless. Read his first posts..... What more does it take to P**ss a guy off?? And I didn't really ridicule them as much as you guys did mine(aren't trained, can't hold a point). I just more or less said I don't want what ...

ThreeBritts

Oldbeek...thank you. We are on the same page. And you run the best dogs ever Britts!!

ThreeBritts

And for those of you who think your dog points EVERY bird in a field it encounters...you apparently haven't read the data from the studies done with radio collared Bobs. Even the best dogs miss nearly 40% of the coveys/birds in the field. And Slistoe..I know you as well. My dogs can hold a bird as l...

Ray started this post with nothing more than what those in the know call, "trolling". Just like he used to do on PDJ. Gumboat. His total intent was to get someone like me to bite and take him to task. I noticed how no one here...even Ezzy, who is known to run this place with an iron fist...never com...

ThreeBritts

Oh...and those of you who think my dogs aren't trained well, you are showing your ignorance of hunting a half section(or more) of 2' + tall milo stubble in a good wind. It's so noisy you can't hear the voices in your head if you have any. :wink: And for those of you who haven't hunted in tall grass ...

ThreeBritts

I guess my whole point(sorry) is that Ray got on here and said that those of us with short range dogs are "useless" and/or "Irrelevant". Well, I guess the 31 birds(phez and Quail) I brought home from Kansas, all on WIHA ground this year BTW, should just be thrown into the trash can then, huh? Oops,3...

ThreeBritts

Yes, I have hunted behind trial/AA/long range dogs. I thought I made that obvious. Seen my share of dogs who run like their tails are on fire and outrun their noses. Good times. As for checking your GPS on where the dog has been, what do you do if you look and find out that the pup HAS missed a good...

ThreeBritts

I like to actually SEE my dogs hunt and read their body language. That way I will know what they and the birds are doing, especially on running Pheasants so I at least have a chance on birds that have been highly educated by the 4-5 weeks of other hunters before I can get out west to hunt them. How ...

ThreeBritts

I had my dogs in for their shots and told my Vet about this thread. She studied the claims that were made here, did her own research and then called her former Professor at Perdue who is the most well versed on this, and then reiterated to me that the new Lyme's Disease vaccination is 80% effective....

ThreeBritts

And there are still people who believe dogs don't have feelings, that we project our human feelings onto the dogs.

Yeah, ok. 5 years later and the dog just makes this up by chance.

ThreeBritts

Puppies love the older dogs food much more than their own. Puppies lungs and vocal chords are obviously made of a material not of this world whose power exceeds that of a Nuclear Aircraft Carrier, especially at or about, 3:38 AM. Puppies teeth and nails are made from the sharpest material known to m...

My friend's dog showed no signs of any problems which is standard when the incubation period can be as long as five months or better. The dog literally was healthy one day and not the next and was at the Vet that evening. She didn't last but 5 days on antibiotics that were supposed to cure her. The ...

ThreeBritts

Well, you stated in your first post that you wanted a toy. Why not go all the way and get a SxS. :D Much lighter in most cases, and I shoot a SxS better than any other configuration I have ever shouldered. Just thought I'd throw that in there. :wink: I prefer AyA's. I am looking for a ithaca skb 10...

ThreeBritts

So sorry to hear that Mr. Kirsch.

So darned hard to lose them when they get old let alone in their prime.

Again, so sorry

ThreeBritts

I'll be 70 this year and my dog is 10. Hopefully, I'll get another 4-5 years out of her. That'll be enough for me. I had a pup ordered for this spring and cancelled it. I don't want to die and have a dog left behind that I don't know what will happen to. I'm going to spend my time fly fishing and r...

ThreeBritts

I actually had the same line of thought as yourself with my two Britts. Once they were gone, that would be it for me. After loving two dogs probably more than a fella should, or at least admit to in mixed company(and by "mixed" I mean, non-dog lovers), I just wondered if I could love another animal ...

Where I'm from...calling someone's story a "wild tale" is the next best thing to calling a man a liar. Sure hope this isn't the case.

I was in Eastern Montana grasslands hunting Phes, Huns and Sharpies where it was relatively flat compared to your pic, QuillGordon.

ThreeBritts

Sounds petty good to me. I can't remember who said it but the best tool a guy can use when training a pup is duct tape,for himself. :) Seems you did that part well. Nothing worse than hacking a pup, or dog for that matter for all those in earshot. :twisted: Just in my experience(as limited as it is ...

I had a pair about 3 years ago that were nothing short of torture. I wouldn't wear another pair of them if you gave them to me and $5 grand. I was out on a week long hunt in Montana and even though the boots were broken in(even after being told that they were so comfy you didn't need to)at the end o...

Hopefully Kansas, I want to kill a Prairie Chicken. I spent almost two weeks in Kansas this season and (don't tell anyone else this on here :wink: ) darn did the PC's make a comeback! Not as many as there were say, ten years ago but, still a very noticeable improvement. Thing is though, I was there...

ThreeBritts

I'll have to respectfully disagree with not getting the Lyme's Disease vaccination. It is true that it had only about a 40%-60% effective rate but, as told to me by my Vets(I have more than one), the newer formulations, if you will, are now at a good 80% rate. I have had the misfortune to see a frie...

ThreeBritts

Hehe, Ezzy has it. Although, there is something kinda thrilling about getting a "kiss" from a "Bearded Lady" that's all wet.

Just an FYI: You know what they say about bird dog guys right? When we get together(like on a BB), "We are all here because we are not all there".

ThreeBritts

Sounds to me you need a fuzzy faced dog like a Draht. Most of them are smart as can be, were bred and built to point, retrieve both on land and in water, hunt fur, can easily handle cold wet weather, and are great pets to boot! Plus girls love them especially when they are pups!! :wink: Shorthair's ...

ThreeBritts

I have not only seen the dogs become less steady on point...I've also seen fights break out. It's great if the dogs work well together but, if not, not. One could always get a pointing dog and just teach it to flush on command. That's what I do. You have a dog pointing a Grouse in an impenetrable ta...

ThreeBritts

I'm with Mr. Linden, any cuts that are anything more than superficial and off to the Vet I go. I too learned the hard way. Plus I'm a little squeamish. :? My younger dog hit the barbed wire and I thought I could handle the one inch tear. Nope, it just kept getting worse with green colored drainage c...

I have all but a 10GA.

It seems I grab the 20 for most of my hunting and the 16 for windy day "Prairie Work".

I just don't like carrying the weight of a 12 any more these days.

The best Grouse dog I have ever hunted over was a Pointing Lab. The last time I hunted over her was about 13 years ago and darn did she produce for the gun. The second best is a Gordon Setter who is now unfortunately retired. So there are some great Pointing Labs out there...and they actually have b...
