Josh
Come on now don't make me do it...

Dirtysteve

Ted, Been rough around here but I'm alive and hanging in there. How you been?
I've bred crash 3 times, none of the pups have been competed, all went to hunting homes. Hope these will go into the right hands as I would really like to see what they can do.

Dirtysteve

Lookin good Will. They should be some very nice pups.

I use it for heavy 20 ga 1oz loads. Plenty of speed and knock down for late season jumpy birds

Mark has 2 liver pups out of this litter. No show dogs here

Ted
A big congrats !
I always thought she would get it done.

Dirtysteve

Who did you tell me is running her? Randall Berry?

Dirtysteve

Some of the places I hunt I have never found any water source and there is alot of chukars. I read a study that said some chukars get all the moisture they need from wild onion bulbs and green leafy things they eat.
Yes Chukars will use guzzlars.

Dirtysteve

Thanks for the info guys. We have contracted for birds in the past and had plenty to use but for some reason Utah is going through a shortage. Even the hunt clubs that raise there own are buying all they can because they are out. It puts the dog clubs in a bad situtation. Having to drive 8 -10 hours...

Dirtysteve

The guy in the KSL add won't return calls. Several have tried. BigTub Thank you very much! I think we are going to buy all that guy has left. 3britts Aren't you part of the Britt club anymore? I know you guys don't have any birds lined up for your May trial. It's only going to get worse finding them...

Dirtysteve

No I have a guy thats going to be working in AZ somewhere that could possibly pick them up.
Can I get his contact info?

Dirtysteve

There are several trials here in Utah that may be canceled due to all bird suppliers out of birds. Does anybody know of any for sale in any western states ?

Dirtysteve

PM LVRGSP on here.
Chip will find you what you need.

Dirtysteve

Anybody ever ride one of these?

Looking at buying a new saddle and don't know if I want one of these or a Tucker.

Dirtysteve

Looks like I need to keep an eye on you and follow you to your hunting spots

Any Beretta auto in 12 or 20.
Over and unders are to heavy for me to pack all day, pumps I just don't like.
I have several diffrent kind of auto's and my personal favorites are the Beretta's. They are rugged, will take abuse and keep on cycling. Can't say that about others I own.

Dirtysteve

I don't know why I take these pics. Always have and they aren't that good. Anybody else do these? Here are few from this year http://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l149/Dirtysteve1/1217111617a.jpg http://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l149/Dirtysteve1/0108121210.jpg http://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l149/Di...

Dirtysteve

One other thing
If I was looking at Eastern dogs I would want one that has won mostly HB stakes. I may be wrong here but I have always heard a west coast gun dog is an east coast AA.
But again this is only hearsay

Dirtysteve

Show me a dog with brains and talent to run walking stakes one week, then horse back the next, off and on all season long Placing and Winning in both..... and I'll show you a dog I want to own. I agree and I have two that have done just that. One has won an AA one weekend then later won a walking s...

Dirtysteve

Dual
He is in southern Utah.

Joel
Buck sure looks good.
We still got a few weeks left for you to get up here and hunt a chukar. You have an open invitation when your ready.

Dirtysteve

You need to find out the price it will bring as scrap, too. I did some brief looking around here: http://www.scrapmonster.com/scrap-prices/scrap-metals/Yellow-Brass-scraps/26 . I'm not sure if I'm getting it right, but looks like over $2 per pound. Reminds me that I have a bunch of once fired 20 AA...

Sorry to hear this. It sucks when a good one gets old

Dirtysteve

Willie
I was just over the mountain from you sat and sunday. I got into a bunch of huns. Didn't know you had that many out that way.

Dirtysteve

Josh I have tested my dogs and they were all Normal/Negative. I wouldn't be concerned about a carrier to a non carrier but wouldn't think of breeding two carriers.

Dirtysteve

LBH was kind enough to take some pictures of our trial we held last weekend. I always like to see the country others trial in so I thought I would post them up for you guys. Also just above these grounds is some good chukar hunting :wink: If you trialers have any pictures of where you run please pos...

Dirtysteve

Congrats
Now lets get her out this way and do some hunting.
Or better yet. Lets meet somewhere in Nevada for a chukar hunt

Dirtysteve

Thanks He finally got it done. We've been placing in a lot of trials this year but the one Am. retrieving point he needed to finish his AFC finally happened sunday. LBH was going to post these pictures of the trial he took but here's a sneak preview. The first few are of Crash LVRGSP The last few ar...

Dirtysteve

Thanks guys. He's good kid and I don't think he'll stray too far from hunting

Dirtysteve

The numbers are spotty. Some ranges are better than I have ever seen them. Some still haven't recovered

Dirtysteve

So with the long weekend I decided to head out to one of my favorite places, Utahs West Desert. I threw in the dogs and camera and headed out. Warning I'm no Doc Favor when it comes to working a camera and the bird hunting was kinda slow (managed a few). So I just wandered around, followed the dogs ...

Dirtysteve

Dog wouldn't make it out of my yard alive if it bit one of my kids. I have a border collie burried at my Dads house that bit my daughters hand. Dad shot it before I had the chance. All he said was "a dog that bites kids is no good" He's a wise old man

Dirtysteve

My oldest boy Cade is almost 17 and was once my shadow. Now girls, cars and friends fill all his time. It was a welcome surprise to me this morning when he said he wanted to go. We went to an area we had never been before and 30 min into this hunt the garmin sounded off that Tuck was on point http:/...

Dirtysteve

Vonzeppelinkennels, After doing all the hiking your brain gets deprive of oxygen and you get a little light headed and them you find chukar poop exciting. Not just any bird poop will do. It have to be chukar poop. I couldn't have said it better. Nothing like a pile of steamin fresh ones to get you ...

Dirtysteve

I'll match your pile of poop and raise you a fresh snow trail

Dirtysteve

Josh I was out today also and I have found that if you go to Cabela's and buy one of there cheap orange dog vests they sure help in the snow. They are very light and don't overheat the dogs but usually don't last more than 2 seasons due to ripping. How were the target shooters on that end today? Loa...

Dirtysteve

Yes as long as it wasn't mine your feeding

Dirtysteve

adogslife where are you from?
I can see the benefits to a closer working dog in thick grouse woods and thick pheasant country. But why can't you see the benefits to a bigger running dog in places like I hunt?

scout- someone to hold your horses reigns while you work the bird.

Exactly!

What????

Birds won't flush if the dog isn't right on top of them.
You don't hunt enough.

Over 22 days this year
Maybe my dogs has a better nose than yours and will stand them off and not make them feel pressured

Dirtysteve

I have only hunted with gps for 1 year now. Before that I just hunted like most everybody else. If my dogs go on point at 500 yards the birds will still be there Why? because he has learned to stand them off and not crowd. Birds won't flush if the dog isn't right on top of them. If they have moved a...

Dirtysteve

Why not hunt both? A bigger runner and a Closer working dog I think for me what works the best is a bigger running dog 400-800 yards teamed up with a closer working dog 100-400. It is an awesome pairing for chukars and any other bird we hunt out here. My bigger running dog usually finds more but the...

Dirtysteve

I will even make a donation for birddogz gas to Idaho just so I can watch!

Dirtysteve

Get ahold of Dean Crabbs, Jon Young or Rick Dodge. They have some of the best dogs around you.
If you want to look in Utah I know of a very good litter but I'm a bit biased

Dirtysteve

This is one of the most hilarious threads I have read in a very long time. But I have got to go and fill my game bag on some wild chukars with an FC, AFC and MH that are in my kennel. Maybe on the way back I will stop and jump shoot some ducks. Something I really enjoy doing ( and yes they retreive ...

Dirtysteve

Ouch!
I found it on the AKC site and payed the $35 for an online report and got 3 names.
That was pricey

Thanks though

Dirtysteve

Is there a way to find out what titled dogs a sire has produced?

Dirtysteve

Sorry Joel but Im calling B.S about wild pheasants in Utah
