Do you hunt where there are alot of burrs or stickers? If not I wouldnt really worry about it. I run shorthairs for this reason.

ACooper

I run shorthairs and love them, but I have considered trying a springer or english cocker as well for all the stubble that I hunt. I think the flusher would have an advantage to the pointing dogs in stubble, thoughts?

ACooper

The last bird that I got was perfect, dog pointed it in the stubble I walked in flushed and one shot perfect retrieve, it was a good ending to a good trip, I cant wait till I am back in Dec. I hope by then the highs will at least be below 60. haha

ACooper

See I just keep regretting the fact that I didnt buy that female.

ACooper

Back from the first go around and dang was it HOT Sat and Sun, Still found a few birds but between all the people and the heat it was tough. Monday we hunted a half day it was setting up to be a really good day, then it was time to head home around noon. Most of the people we talked to were struggli...

ACooper

I have a deposit on litter the COI is 24%, and I cant wait.

ACooper

I am out on labs because I want a pointing dog, I like setters but dont like pulling burrs out of their hair after hunting, I also dont want to have to shave my dog. So I run shorthairs, and couldnt be happier. Like was said before shorthairs probably arent the best for big water or real cold water,...

ACooper

No, unless something changed this year, you dont need a plug for either of those.

ACooper

Plug your gun for what kind of birds? Migratory birds you will but other than that I have never heard of you having to. As far as vet certs go that is another issue I have never come across.

ACooper

I guess it doesnt really matter what breed you run you win, congrats.

ACooper

I have hunted both in the past and found birds, the last few years we have been going a little further north though.

ACooper

Hey Dave you still in Elkhart? I thought last I heard you were going to be moving? I would love to come hunt off horse back that would be awesome with your dogs that get out and go. Let me know when you can go and man I am there. Maggie is the little female out or Mert, the last few years we have no...

ACooper

Man that is a really nice buck, sounds like a great trip.

ACooper

Besides my Kansas trips I am hunting west of Amarillo the first weekend of december, I have never hunted out that way. Any reports on Pheasant numbers out that way?

ACooper

Happy Birthday!

ACooper

Thanks J Mann. I will post and let you guys know how we did as soon as I get back. Two weeks and counting booked my hotel yesterday, I was afraid I might have waited to long, but we got one. The most exciting thing about this trip is I get to see the mother of a litter of GSPs that I will be mailing...

ACooper

I am going to be around the Larned and Great Bend area on the 10-12, and then be back from there to Norton on dec 15-19. Hopefully I can get the dogs on some birds.

ACooper

ah come on no KS people want to help me out?

ACooper

Yeah Springer I guess I set myself up for that one. ha ha

ACooper

What are you going to have in it when your done, if you dont mind me asking, it looks good.

ACooper

I will be making several trips to KS this year hunting the first one will be nov 10-13. I will be hunting around the Larned area and around the Norton area, anyone have any reports for these places? thanks

ACooper

What part of that statement isnt true? I see that you dont agree but that does not make it a false statement.

ACooper

All I can say to any of those pics is WOW. I have female out of MRT and grand daughter of Magnum that I would love to see cut that country up.

ACooper

Cross breeding has been done and will be done forever. You are just as likely to get a really good dog from this breeding as you are a bad one. The fact is unless one of the parents is super prepotent, there will be very little uniformity in looks, style, and temperament, even more so since you said...

ACooper

Health is the most important factor in my opinion, no matter how mush ability a dog has if it has health problems it should never be bred; hips, eys, elbows, thyroid, and to many other to list. Those are not factors that can be over looked. Dont get me wrong I believe that title are great, I have a ...

ACooper

Even with titled dogs its the dogs that made the papers great not vice versa. I agree that you should breed out of proven dogs, the lack of a title does not always mean that a dog is not a proven dog, that is up to the owner to really evaluate if the dog is worthy of breeding. The best Pointer/GSP/B...

ACooper

Many many people forget that its the dog that makes the papers not the other way around.

ACooper

This is the kind of crap that gives all hunters a bad name, it was now determined that the hog was not really feral but was farm raised and fed. I knew as soon as a I saw it that it was more to the story than what was being said. Life on a feral hog is way to tough for them to reach that kind of wei...

ACooper

I have a grand daughter, can post ped if needed.

ACooper

Hey Blake I was just curious if anymore progress has been made on the OK club?

ACooper

I bet that would make a good cross, but I dont know many hog hunters paying $500 for a dog it does happen but most wont give that much for one.

ACooper

Not Bird hunting but my buddy Barry with a big boar killed in western Ok, caught with a blackmouth cur and mt cur X plott cross.

ACooper

If you dont mind a drive I know where you could find several birds real cheap. 1.00-2.00 Dollar range, just enough for a little feed. My father has a bunch and would sell 10-15 birds, mostly homers some homer x roller crosses. He is located in Ponca City, that is the north central part of the state....

ACooper

A friend of my uncles shot the rabbit away from the dogs as that is something we dont encourage. to each his own. I dont eat rabbit so i dont shoot them.

ACooper

Here is one of the young females that is helping us get it done, second a pic from a hunt last year here in north central oklahoma somewhere between Ponca City and Perry. :wink: http://i113.photobucket.com/albums/n230/Coopdvlle/Grace1.jpg http://i113.photobucket.com/albums/n230/Coopdvlle/huntend.jpg

I was hunting private land in north central, its actually a guy who does day leases and it only costs 30 bucks to book he gives you a map and you have at it. It is a pretty sweet deal and the amount of birds we have been moving it is well worth the money. The birds have been getting a lot of pressur...

Finally got a little break from work and was able to get out with my dad and run some young dogs. Though quail numbers are drastically down pheasant numbers look good. Went out monday and had some fair dog work and some really great dog work. Got my limit (in oklahoma it only two cocks) and even got...

Try looking here there are few breeder listings.

Thanks Greg for posting the parts important to me.

I am going to try to get him to the vet on wedesday to see if the old fella can still get it done. If he can I am going to try live cover and also look into getting him collected.

Any more thoughts would be appreciated.

ACooper

Larue, Man both dogs look great that Maxine is a real looker.

ACooper

Anyone have any experience on dealing with a stud of this age, liekly or unlikely he can still produce pups? What about AKC will I have any issues registering a litter out of a stud this old, in the case he is fertile? I have seen many dogs out of this stud own a double grandson of him, assumed he w...

ACooper

I can vouch for how tuff it was in western OK last year, warm and dry, we found birds early in the morn and a few late in the day, but other than that we didnt have alot of luck warm dry and windy.

ACooper

I currently own both, pick a quality litter and either sex should make good dogs. There aren't any cut and dried rules about males and females, as far as hunting style, personality or ease of training.

I got my BPS 12 years ago when I was 15, I have never looked back I have killed everything from quail to turkey and geese with it. Been very a good gun. Dont plan on ever getting rid of it. On the other hand a few friends of mine have gotten Novas over the past few years and if I were looking to get...

ACooper

I have two young shorthairs and one eight year old Vizsla.

ACooper

Depending on the age of the birds when you got them they may or may not return to your coop. It doesnt always matter if they have been flown out of the their original coop or not, an older bird that hasnt been flown if moved will still attempt to return to its "HOME". It sounds like maybe the birds ...

I have a grand daughter of Chicoree's Hickory Doc and am interested in breeding back that way if anyone knows of any line bred dogs from that line I would appreciate a heads up. I think I found a 12 year old son of CJC duffy lets just hope he can get it done. Its really too bad Razorhaven's Ripper d...
