A dog need not point to hunt upland birds. A flusher works for a great many hunters.

GSP4ME

I know a guy who uses his for wild hogs, squirrel, duck, dove, rabbit, deer(tracking wounded and dead, not running them), turkey, coyote, and that's just for the fun stuff. Through the week that same dog is his best ranch hand sorting and herding cattle.

GSP4ME

Impossible to reach a consensus on such a thing but I'll play along.

Black Mouth Cur

Taste of the Wild Pacific Stream. I would LOVE to find something that didn't cost quite as much but for MY dogs I've not found anything that comes close with regards to small amounts of firm stool, shiny coats, and no ear wax build up/excessive foot licking. If anyone has switched from TOTW to somet...

Going to open an old one back up, anyone seeing any birds in Western OK? I hunted Sandy Sanders this morning, still pretty tough go out there for man and dog. Saw one really big covey but that was all I was able to find today. The fella I got my dog from went to black kettle the second weekend of q...

Way to go. Congrats to Mindy and thank you for taking the time to share your knowledge with someone who will no doubt some day do the same.

I have no experience, but quite a few hog doggers use them. If you don't get any suitable answers here, you might poke around this site http://www.easttexashogdoggers.com/forum/

Been a deer hunter for nearly 3 decades and some of his points are valid as far as deer go. I know people who have never killed a single deer but are dead set on their first being a wall hanger. That's fine and good but where do they go from there. I'll never forget the thrill of my first doe. I wor...

if you don't need all the bells and whistles you might try the dogtra 1900.

My avatar was purchased as primarily as a pet and a shed hunter. It wasn't until I got him that I became interested in upland hunting. He will be used extensively next spring to find antlers. That said, got to throw another mention out there for the spaniels. Specifically the Boykin. My brothers Boy...

I Really like that dog.

Here's another one of Ranger. Crappy cell phone pick but he was locked in.

I invested a lot of time in my black kettle research several years ago when it became apparent to me that finding good affordable land to lease for Deer hunting just wasn't going to be in the cards for me at the time. I studied the map provided on the Ok Wildlife site and then matched it up with a g...

Well dang, so much for that. Black Kettle/packsaddle it is.

Of course I'm sure any minute now i'll get a call from the landowner of my lease in Quinlan telling me about all the quail he's seen this week.

GSP4ME

^I usually rifle hunt Black Kettle and have been spooked by quail flushing on more than one occasion so I know the birds are there but had never read up on Kaw until I saw your post. After doing a bit of google map studying, and reading online, I think I'm gonna give it a try within the next week. I...

I live in Edmond and hunted private land in Quinlan oklahoma Saturday and Sunday. We covered a lot of ground and saw two birds. My previous three trips to this property-all since August, I never saw fewer than 8 covey with at least 10 birds each. Not sure what happened in the last month but looks li...

GSP4ME

Mice, beetles, grasshoppers, butterflies, moths flying around the porch light. But his favorite seems to be houseflies. If there's one in the house, he's on it and he doesn't stop until he's caught it. Always a shake of the head once its caught to fling it from his mouth. Once they're on the ground,...

If you just punish the dog for the action instead of redirecting the action, the dog will stop and never chew at all. Above is your quote, I have no idea what you mean by "- the dog will stop and never chew at all", but I know what it means in English. I also know punishment is inappropriate for a ...

GSP4ME

GSP, You said plainly with your punishment system pups will not chew at all. You say you have trained thousands of dogs - plural, meaning it has to be more than 2,000, perhaps many more, 5 - 6? But say 3,000. So you have averaged over 100 a year, I have found it takes about 3 months to train a dog ...

GSP4ME

If you just punish the dog for the action instead of redirecting the action, the dog will stop and never chew at all. Not thinking it is semantics, I don't punish 10 week old pups and I have never seen one that did not chew on something. In the same thread you claim to have trained thousands of dog...

GSP4ME

That is just nuts. Punish a 10 week old pup? Really? You just let the dog do whatever the heck it wants with no correction or redirection and chalk it all up to being a puppy? Because that's not the way their momma or littermates are gonna handle it when they get out of hand. Bite inhibition is sti...

GSP4ME

Before I did anything else, I would go to this guys kennel and see first hand exactly what he's talking about.

GSP4ME

So I took my 10 month old mutt on his first dove hunt......... Hey- just curious......... your dog looks like a GSP to me? Why did you refer to him as a "mutt"? Is he a GSP/Pointer mix? Either way, he looks pretty nice! :) Haha, yeah he was the result of an accidental breeding BuddyPearl.png I coul...

GSP4ME

^ You mean just so that he gets used to the fact that I'm gonna miss from time to time and he can get back to hunting instead of looking for a dead bird that isn't there?

GSP4ME

What would be illegal about it? sounds like a good idea to me. Is that your pup in your avatar? Great looking pup! Yep, that's him and thanks. I think that was at about 4 or 5 months. Here he is on the second and third covey he found the other day. Been really happy with him to this point and he's ...

GSP4ME

Good point Booly.

GSP4ME

Thanks, looks like it's a no-no for me. Dang it. Dogs may not be used in taking bear, deer, elk, antelope and turkey. Except as otherwise provided, nothing shall prohibit the year-round pursuit of game (species that can be lawfully hunted with dogs) for dog training or sport only. However, unless ot...

So I took my 10 month old mutt on his first dove hunt. The doves weren't flying so good but driving the roads I was bumping quail left and right. So I abandoned the dove hunt and heres what we did instead. I had brought along a couple of trapped feral pigeons in case there was no bird action, I coul...

I realize this is an old thread but while doing a search for something unrelated, this thread came up and it peaked my interest. Just wondering how this situation played out for you?

GSP4ME

Southwind, Chubbs was a good looking boy. I'm sure that was the best $35 you ever spent. I initially got Ranger just to be a pet for the wife and be companion for my 7 year old American bulldog and occasional blood trailer and antler shed finder. At about 12 weeks he was pointing everything with win...

Despite my username, my current pup in training is a Pointer/GSP mix. He was part of an "oops" breeding but we couldn't be happier with him to this point. Just wondering how many others have mixes/mutts/drops whatever you call them(ones you're willing to admit anyway :wink: ). My only regret with Ra...

I've got an Uncle who uses his GSP for Squirrel hunting. He bought the dog bc he thought he wanted to start quail hunting but i'm not sure the dog has ever had a bird shot over it. He's always had Blackmouth Curs (i think Ladner bloodline) and still does. The GSP chops at a tree just like his cur do...

Rabies may not be a big issue, but be knowledgable about the signs/symptoms of coon fever/coonhound paralysis. Also beware of the coons that want to take the fight with a dog into the water. Never seen it happen, but i've heard more than one first hand account of coons that will drown a dog. Some se...

Ranger on backyard cardinal at 5 months

GSP4ME

Not quite 4 months, fully vaccinated, so it was time to let him stretch his legs and follow his nose beyond the confines of the backyard for the first time. I had as much time watching him as he did smelling, chasing, and pointing. For about 1.5 hours, I didn't say a word just let him do his thing. ...

I've always found it to be an easier task in cold weather than in warm. My most recent puppy being no exception ( just turned 4 months). I find that if they dont like being out there, they learn much sooner that going out is about taking care of business and the sooner they do, the sooner they get t...

^ A great many people will tell you those birds dont make it from one season to the next -that they're not equipped and predation and an inability to find suitable habitat/food takes its toll sooner or later. There are just as many who will disagree. I dont know enough to argue it one way or the oth...
