Gun Dog Forum

I currently have the garmin delta upland with 3 collars if anyone is looking for that, I’d give you a good deal.

I am looking for the dogtra 2702 t&b

If you have one that you are looking to sell, or know of a sale anywhere, please let me know. Good luck this season everyone!

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...

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...

Ok thanks for the feedback.

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.

Thanks for the input everyone. I really appreciate it.

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...

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.

Hello everyone, I am searching for my next hunting companion, currently I have a 3 year old GSP and shes fantastic. I want to get her a hunting companion and I am looking at all the possibilities and it gets a little overwhelming. I am looking at the Bracco Italianos and I am wondering who all has o...

I am also in the search for a new GSP puppy wondering if anyone on here has had any interaction or history with the following kennels as I have narrowed my list (slightly) but would love any insight... 1. Top Gun Kennels Iowa 2. Sharp Shooters Kennel WI 3. Krecklau Shorthairs MI 4. Huntem Up Kennels...

Hello, My name Is Michael, I am from Des Moines Iowa. I am 25 years old and I work at Progressive Insurance. I have been hunting for as long as I can remember. I currently have a 2.5 year old GSP named Mya who I got right out of college I am going to get her a sister this upcoming Spring. I love to ...
