I whistle trained for change direction come about. 1 tweet. Recall multiple tweets. I then overlayed the tone on the alpha. The alpha tone works great she can always hear it and it's quiet out in the field. I let her hunt the way she wants as long as she is in sight. When she goes over the ridge I r...

This last summer I was walking in the sagebrush with the wife. Let my 1 year old run free. My alpha switches from yds to miles at 900 yds. I think it's genetic with her. At 1 year old they don't know the difference of fun walks and hunting. When I hit hunting season I found I wasn't comfortable with...

I use cardboard apple boxes with the vents. I cut a 6 inch hole in the lid on the end near the top. I then lift the lid enough so the hole shows to put them in and take them out. It's hard for them to escape out the hole with your arm reaching through. I've tried it by cracking the lid open but have...

Had the pup up in some rough steep rocky country. Got up into our first covey of chukar. A long climb at that point. Started to see blood on the ground. She looked normal moving uphill but didn't look right moving downhill. Got her over to take a look. Both front pads were missing a layer on the par...

Wonder how it cooked up. Hard to believe he had no clue.

greg jacobs

Awesome. Nice Christmas present.

Starting to look like I'm buying a growler

greg jacobs

The boys and I are counting. Loosers buy the winner a growler. If you don't have the feet it didn't happen.

Haven't run into any right there but it's 15 minutes from the house. There are chuckar in other areas 30 or 40 minutes away. Not as many as there use to be. Pheasant are also a little harder to find now days here in central Wa.

Was hunting huns and decided to drop into a quail Gulley for my trip back down but it was a bit steep.

you hadn't seen it before? I prefer the gsp version.

greg jacobs

Magspa - sure
Ms. Cage - wasn't sure who's feelings would be hurt. That being said there are a lot of very nice dogs on that list.

greg jacobs

I got out and hit 1 spot Friday 3.5 hours one hunt. She was at 12 mph hunting huns but we dropped into a canyon to hunt quail on our way back down. Her average dropped from 12 to 8 mph average for the morning. The time was about split. That must have her down at 4 mph down in the brush. The reason I...

Don't have much experience but it looks like you might get 10 young per pair. Someone with more experience could give you real numbers. How many young are you needing a year. With 30 birds your going to have a population explosions.

greg jacobs

Thanks. I got beat up a little on this one. If anything my pup needs to slow down a bit. At 18 months she's a little excited the first part of the day.

greg jacobs

A lot of variation in setters just as there is in shorthairs.

greg jacobs

No subtle competition. Figured the setters and pointers would be the fastest with the shorthairs somewhere in the middle.

greg jacobs

When out hunting I look at it to see where my out of sight dog is. Or use the tone instead of a whistle. I like quiet peaceful away from people time, out with the dog. But when I get home I crack a beer and check out the different hunts and dog info.

greg jacobs

Not sure I was trying to prove anything. Certainly wasn't trying to be scientific.

greg jacobs

Just wondering what average ground speed the different breeds are showing on the gps. I hunt 1/2 to 1 1/2 hours then move to a new spot. So the dog gets some rest between hunts.

german shorthair. First hunt 12.5 mph later in the day 10 to 10.5 mph in open country

greg jacobs

A definition of close, med, big, seemed hard to nail down. Seems people want to include cover and terrain. Why is that? Is it because people want to see their dog a certain percentage of the time or the amount of time it will take to get to the dog. A combination of things. What percentage of the ti...

greg jacobs

Thanks everyone. Looks like in a couple years when I get serious about another pup. The question had better be asked to the breeder. Most people wanted to throw in cover and terrain in. That brings up another question. (Part 2)

greg jacobs

The login might work. The registration doesn't. Sounds like the same message I got months ago

greg jacobs

Been that way for months. Might try this one. Someone suggested it when I asked the same question. I sent an email back several months ago. Nothing got fixed

My dog spends a lot of time out at 150 to 250 out in the sagebrush. 1 1/2 year old shorthair. At 200 to 300 yds she is generally out of sight with the gullies, hills, sagebrush. If she hits 300-400 yds I generally recall her. Using the tone on the alpha like a whistle. Last summer the wife and I wou...

greg jacobs

For the pointing breeds. What do people think is an average working distance? Out in open country. Here is a guess on my part. I've never seen people use yards when talking about working distance so I just don't know. Bootlicker. 35 yds Close working 100 yds Medium working. 200 yds Big running. 400 ...

+1 on take some time and find a good breeder that has what you want.
They have worked for me. No cockle burr problems. Spent a lot of hours as a kid removing them from our setter.

we feed them in the winter also.
We really enjoy watching them.
To many houses any more to hunt.
The wild rose bushes gives them good cover

La grande. Nice area. Guy there that sells pigeons. If your interested. There is a navhda group down the road a ways. A nstra group and a pointing dog group in tricities. Some of the same guys are in both tricity groups. If you bought a dk there is a group around wallawalla.

greg jacobs

Welcome. So is your new pup out of a field trial or a versatile kennel. The second thing you should do is start looking for club or group to get involved with. Nstra, Navhda, pointing dog, gsp club, trial club. Go to meetings, training days (without pup). Pick one that feels right. They can be a gre...

Here is a paragraph from the above sight that I posted. You should all click and read. There is a lot on how it was done. The victory in Washington State has emboldened them. They see that they can buy an election with enough money and the support of the old media. They expect to export this techni...

greg jacobs

Shouldn't have blamed the west side like I did. King county had a pretty high percentage that voted for it. However a lot of people in every county voted for it. I was a little upset about it all. The gun control people want us to compromise. Time after time. Which leaves us with nothing in the end....

greg jacobs

They should make 2 states from Oregon and Washington but split them at the cascades not the Columbia river. That would increase my in state hunting by a fair amount.

Same boat. My 17 month old gsp has a 800 yard "opening cast". Alpha is on order. I always buy more horsepower than I need. I need a Kia I buy a Ferrari. Not once but time after time.

Fran is dead on. Many gun owners voted for it. They did exactly what gamekeeper did. They read the bold print and made a decision and voted without having knowledge of the content. My suggestion is you all read that initiative in full. It's 16 or 18 pages long. There are a couple billionaires and se...

greg jacobs

In WA it was financed by liberal billionaires. The liberal west side voted it in and I bet most didn't know all that was hidden in the initiative. It was promoted as closing the background check loopholes but contained far more. Much was undefined. Which means it could be far worse than we even know...
