Good luck. I'll be making my way to central KS this evening, spend tomorrow scouting, should be good hunting.

Majority of my reports have been bad for pheasant. Quail should have good areas. When yoy planning your trip for? Could give more info closer to season.

The Piwer Hunter is not the most comfortable blind, but it definitely hides better and folds up smaller than others. Something to think about if space is an issue.

Love seeing the pics of past dogs, bribgs back good memories. My britt coming back from a 75 yard blind retrieve at 12 years old, by then every retrieve was a blind. uploadfromtaptalk1377151113400.jpg My lab on last day of season, 11 years old. uploadfromtaptalk1377151138601.jpg My britts last hunt,...

Congrats and great job, hoping I have time to run UT this fall, if bot next spring.

jarbo03

I have taken every one of my dogs dove hunting. They will not confuse it with searching and pointing. It is a discipline thing, they learn very quick when they must mind and when they can go wild. In the meantime your dog is improving its marking and retrieving skills. Great for whoa training and st...

We hunt all birds in all kinds of weather.

Great lookin dogs everybody, like seeing the variety around here. After a life full of britts, crazy Katie really catches my eye.
Thread definitely needs some more flair though, this is my WPG Taz.

jarbo03

My best is a limit with 19 shots. My worst is, well, I don't want to talk about it, but I had to borrow many rounds after I ran out.

jarbo03

Found a shaded creek this morning, perfect for a shaggy dog.

Of the dogs listed, hard to beat the German Wirehair, my other dog would be a britt.

jarbo03

Lack of basic obedience and knowing their job. My griff will run like crazy while hunting sharptails or pheasant, then sit perfectly still in his blind or laying beside me while waterfowling. My last britt would do the same. Sit means Sit, regardless of situation.

jarbo03

Great pics, goos lookin wooly bug!

Did a little work at the lake tonight. Double marks, douvle blinds, blind search, etc. http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/07/10/yhu8asav.jpg http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/07/10/u7ataha4.jpg http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/07/10/9ebe5ave.jpg http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/07/10/e7uzyqyq.jpg http://img.tapatalk.c...

Jarbo, you doing most your training solo? That can be tough! Heartland folks are very welcoming and i am sure oyu will just need your dog, self and your normal equipment. Keep us posted on how the taining is going! I have done everything myself up til the last few weeks. Larry Woodward from Aux Lak...

That's the plan. Was gonna look into the training days for Sept and Oct also.
Come on up, I should be at those, keep me posted if you are coming.

What do I need to do for the training days? Info, supplies, etc. Thanks

jarbo03

Im also training for UT in August. Need to work more steadiness and havent had the opportunity to get any good duck searches or blind steadiness yet. Im pretty excited about it and nervous all at once. i have one big obsticle to over come at that is, sometimes when I approach to flush, he looks as ...

jarbo03

Thanks for sharing the awesome pics. Only have a few pics of Taz pointing, tons of him with ducks or geese. This was a long point on a group of sharptails in MT.

Great looking pup, congrats.

Looking good. Are you using crippled pigeons to teach duck search? What's your method? A couple frozen pigeons happened to be all I had. Been training with a griff breeder who has taken many of his dogs to VC, he always has ducks with him. I'm just following the drills he has shown me, Taz has a lo...

jarbo03

My britt had better blind manners than any dog I've hunted with, he would stare at the sky for hours very patiently. Most of his his hunts were before I knew what a neoprene vest is. If it was real bad my lab got all the work . They can handle some cold retrieves, but not sitting still being cold an...

Haven't posted any pics in a while. Getting Taz ready for his UT this fall. All water work is good, starting steady work in the field next week, I see him having no problems. His first two years have been very impressive with upland and waterfowl, really looking forward to his 3rd year. A few pics f...

jarbo03

Can't argue with a versatile being chosen. I prefer the griff though

jarbo03

I have a SD 1225 for my griff, have really enjoyed it so far. Heard bad things about the sd 400 and some of the older models. Mine is 3 years and prob used over 200 days a year for waterfowl, upland, and training.

jarbo03

I have a SportDog SD1225, has vibe and tone also. Use the vibrate for an attention getter, to recall, or cast another direction. Stimulation is used for corrections.

jarbo03

Congrats

jarbo03

I agree. My last lab was born on Aug. 26, shot numerous pheasant over him by the end of the season. He went into the next season already knowing the game.

jarbo03

Great lookin brit, glad to see him doing well.

jarbo03

I would look up the Frontier chapter in NAVHDA in Cheyenne. Would be a great way to meet trainers and others training for the same things.

jarbo03

Been doing a little retrieving now and then. Need to get busy with steady to wing and shot, hope to run NAVHDA utility test this fall.

The Heartland NAVHDA chapter held it's test this weekend and there were 7 Griffs tested! 5 out of 10 NA dogs on Saturday and 2 UPT on Sunday. Jay was there from SwitchGrass running one of his pups and a pup of his from Aux Lake. There was a couple with a pup from Jay at SwitchGrass too. All of the ...

Larry is a great guy, will be training with him soon. I got my griff from Stellar Vista kennels in MO, Jamie Kuhn and Brian While from WI put out some great dogs also.

jarbo03

I've noticed that SetterNut, worst in years.

jarbo03

Good looking work Stoneface!

jarbo03

I will never understand the constant argument of trial dog vs hunting dog. The huge majority of trial dogs are also hunting dogs, to argue anything else is a serious waste of time. I agree, a good % of people that trail, do it for something to do when the hunting season is closed. They are both fun...

Should work good. Might try both loads with different chokes, results can vary, only thing to do is put them to paper. If you are not shooting beyond 40 yards, #3 will do everything you need, #2's are good to have around for windy days.

jarbo03

Depends on the weather, if it is warm I take it easy on the dogs and myself. During normal hunting season weather normally hunt sunrise to sunset while chasing upland birds, most trips are for 3 days.

jarbo03

Pointers pretty darn easy but had my young dog turn a corner on the end of a windbreak in Ne, and hit the biggest nastiest sand burr patch I ever saw. She was covered head to toe and froze in place. I had to drive in with the 4 wheeler and hoist her on board. She learned her lesson. wish i had pict...

[quote=] The dog doesn't actually have to fetch the beer, it just has to look good while attempting to.

The word Versatile, as used by Bird Hunters is a canard, and disingenuous in how its used and errantly applied by so many here. Now that right there is just funny! Canard???? Errantly???? Really???????????????? I'm wondering how many beers a dog has to fetch, and from what it must be fetched from t...

What is a well trained hunting dog called? Not sure, have heard meat dogs a few times, mostly around here they are just "bird dogs", whather they are good or bad, hunt or trial.

Hey Bill - what FT in Ohio did you go to? I've been to 75% of all horseback trials in OH for the last 5 years and have NEVER seen you. Just curious. I would take any of my "horseback" FT dogs and enjoy cleaning your clock in the grouse woods with them :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: Clinton and Highl...

jarbo03

Goes to show the different coats you can have within a breed, my lab was a breeze to take care of. My dads britts were ten times worse than mine to maintain.

jarbo03

You will gain about 25 pellets. I have found #3 to be plenty for anything smaller than geese out to 40 yards. When I have to use steel for upland I use a 7/8 oz #4 reload.

jarbo03

One of my favorite powders, use it for 12 and 16 ga., steel and lead shot.

jarbo03

After 15 years with a britt, that I kept well trimmed, I am really enjoying having my griff. Whether he gets wet, muddy, burrs, etc.., send him into the tall grass or brush and 2 minutes later he seems to come out spotless. Couldn't imagine taking care of a setter.
