Re: Duo Montana Pheasant hunt help

CJ and Bedight, Thank you very much for your insightful answers. I really appreciate it. By the sounds of it, I might just stay home this season, my area of Iowa has been very lucky weather wise the last few years and continues to improve the bird numbers. Even the quail numbers where I am located a...

Re: Duo Montana Pheasant hunt help

I loved Montana, lived up there several years in the service. But if I was in your shoes, I'd give the Dakota's a long look! I thought about Montana for birds last year but report's I got from there were really bad. South Dakota would not be a long trip at all for me, but is the public ground worth...

Duo Montana Pheasant hunt help

First I would just like to say, I normally HATE these type of posts. Whether it be on this forum, or the 15 different dog/hunting groups I am apart of on facebook. I usually hate when people ask about hunting help instead of just doing the research. I am being hypocritical right now because I though...

They might make decent "meat dogs" but I don't hunt because I can't feed myself or my family.

Explain that if you would please.

Re: Searching for my next hunting dog

I have only owned 3 britts but I found their prey drive to be very high even though all 3 came from different "lines." Their prey drive was at least as high as any of the several GSP's I've owned. The bracco is a breed I like even though it's rather heavy "houndy" look did not at first appeal to me...

Re: Searching for my next hunting dog

For more information on Braccos look up Dancing Duke Kennels. Ron Boehme is the owner and has been a NAVHDA judge for many years. Very knowledgeable about the versatile breeds. I'm sure he can answer any questions you have on them. He also has a podcast called The Hunting Dog Podcast and talks abou...

I just wanted to see what else is out there, Ive always had GSP's. Plus the looks of the Bracco intrigue my wife because she had blood hounds growing up.
