Thanks! And to think I was going to have to hike up one of those hills on Sunday looking for the last one in California.

+1 for Steve. He will also talk to you if you want to meet somewhere close by (last minute)...509.570 four zero zero nine. I had a card in my truck....

I have the same problem but I'm not hunting when she points the rabbits. Every time I let her go pew at night she will point them.... my wife was laughing one night and decided she should release her...20 min later my dog came back. She must have worked the whole grove looking for rabbits she could ...

That's cool. I shot some quail Saturday after we went duck hunting. Let me know if you are going to go around the victorville area out to red mtn.

There are lots of chukars in California, they are just in a tight geographic area. Mostly the eastern Sierra slope deemed "high desert" and the greater concentrations are to the north. SORRY I had to edit this...I meant that this area of California is best because this is where the Nevada pointer g...

So the first time I have felt comfortable letting other people hunt with my dog was with some 12 13 and 16 year old kids. They got to shoot 2 birds each and my dog was very happy.

ultracarry

Blm land because no one in their right mind would go there willingly. I would only do it for my dog. Also I have never seen a chukar in ca.

ultracarry

How many bumps are there? Mine gets one or two but probably from crashing through brush... never in the same place. If you have a dog that likes to work deep cover I would expect it.

ultracarry

Thanks for the heads up. I'll be looking at the collar to make sure it charges completely.

ultracarry

Ummm anywhere but so cal. The quail left with the housing market.they moved to az

ultracarry

I would call pest control companies if you live in a city that has them. If not call around to bird farms or speciality stores. They can be free to about $3 at the most. If you are going to blank them put an ad in crags list to use someone's homing pigeons.

I just talked with a friend in az about my dogs feet and cuts. He said to use some corona ointment and cover the dogs feet. Should be good to go in a 2-4 days. I give my gap baby apron and seems to help

ultracarry

I cleaned them and used some.disinfectant spray.... then neosporen... she has been keeping off her feet but will let me bend her legs grab her feet and everything. Her nails are about a 1/8 to a 1/4
Inch too short but they are straight. ill post some pics ater.

So after a hunt test on sat I took my year old gsp to my friends house to pick him up and go hunting. I took off her collars to change to a different one and had to go to my truck to grab it... my friend was with his dog and her in the back yard. I hear him yell and he said my dog jumped his 6 foot ...

ultracarry

I'll keep it short and sweet... my dog went on an escape run with some demons chasing her... her paws are bleeding. Her nails are also bleeding... well they were.. so should I do anything besides clean? I don't care about her pain for the time being.... she did it to herself.... I just kennel her an...

My dog isn't force fetched but if she sees the duck fall she will go for it. The less decoy you have out the better so it doesn't check them all before going to the real duck. She will wine a lot but I ignore her and when she is quiet ill pet her and give attention. If you can I would make a platfor...

The az desert will tear up about any boot. I have been through 3 pairs of manner vanish GTX. I called danner after the 3rd pair and they sent me the pronghorns. They have lasted 2 seasons in colorado and 2 seasons of desert mule deer hunting in unit 44 and 42. Im only getting different boots because...

ultracarry

They are great I picked some 12x42 and have only had problems with the eye cups breaking.. I hunt for desert mules in az with my bow a lot. Unless you beat them up bad they will last. If you are paying full price go with the cabelas euro models. They are better.

ultracarry

Sounds like fun... we don't have birds in so cal....

it's the rest of my dogs name Kimber ultra carry.... ''kimber''. She is a smaller GSP at a year old and 37 pounds. So ya that's where I got the name.

ultracarry

if your lab is by your side constantly your GSP will want to be also (might cause a problem). Other than that I hope your lab has alot of paitence and energy because it will need it. I think mine was born with iron lungs and wheels on it's feet! At 12 weeks she was running a mile every day with me b...

ultracarry

its too much fun. i think she is done duck hunting until her hunt tests are over. she was marking every thing that was flying hoping i would shoot it when i put her on quail yesterday...

ultracarry

took my GSP out duck hunting for the second time. she is starting to get the point o staying still in the blind and likes to wait at the door. started the day off with a shovler behind the blind that fell 90-100 yds in a over grown field. i sent her out there and in 4 min she met me outside the blin...

ultracarry

I'm guessing your in az. Nice pics .... I miss that place but found a hunt test in november... Guess who will be going hunting between braces

ultracarry

you might want to see if your dog is gun shy first....

ultracarry

im in yucaipa/temecula depending on what im doing for the day. i just looked at it. seems like same lines different direction lol.

ultracarry

i think cabelas has one with the handle on the top and the armor chest protector. the only thing i have heard about the is you have to trim them for your dog. also if you plan on hunting some rugh terrain cabelas sells a warrenty with the dog boots they sell for an extra 5 bucks that covers wear and...

ultracarry

good job getting in on em. let me know if you need someone to go with and another dog.

ultracarry

i like to get my dog on birds she will be hunting before i go after them. if you have had your dog on birds she should react the same with a pheasant or quail that she did with a pigeon. i have not had a different reaction from my dog by using a different bird. if you have not had your dog on birds ...

ultracarry

i live next to temecula. i work my dog on birds at prado dog park (chino hills) or san jacinto. ill hunt anywhere there is birds from the san bernardino mtns to arizona.

ultracarry

good looking dogs!
where are you located at?

ultracarry

where are you at in southern ca? when i take my dog out i will have her on birds at some point in the day... if we do not find any (like we didnt on sunday for mtn quail) i will have a bird or two in the truck and drive to another spot to make sure she finds a bird. this lets me make sure she gets g...

+1 they are gold

ultracarry

as far as birds i would pick quail. they are cheaper to feed. if you plan on putting alot of birds in there pheasants will cost you alot of money and they like to kill eachother.

ultracarry

my dog is doing the same thing so I made an appointment for today... And skipped work. She has had it before I think from being kenelled to long maybe (in a crate).

ultracarry

sounds like fun! i am hoping to get some ducks for my girl this year..... california is a different animal.

ultracarry

thanks guys. i didnt know what some of the responses would be with the longer tail...

ultracarry

so when quail season opens thisweekend my dog will be used to guide people (not me). i decided to grab some birds and make sure she is in shape. drove my truck and planted birds about 300-500 yards apart and let her hunt. the first bird i planted 150 yards from the truck so i could take photos. went...

ultracarry

i would say if you feel threatened and pepper spray is legal to carry i would just carry a small can which i do when i go on runs with my gsp. you dont even need to spray the dog to make him turn and run. overspray isnt that bad it just kills when it is a direct eye hit. i wont go to a dog park thou...

ultracarry

they are really low maint and mature really fast. they should lay well before they are full grown too. as far as diseases i dont think you will have any problem just use a raised pen.

ultracarry

depends on the dog and how you use them. if you have good control over your dog and know it will not try to catch or pin the bird you shouldnt have a problem. they fly pretty weak like stated above. i used them for my gsp when she was younger and i just wanted birds, bird, and more birds to get her ...

ultracarry

im taking my gsp out for ducks this year in southern ca. she will who till her knees buckle but she is going to be kept in her hunting kennel until released. camo burlap over the sides and top when you drop a duck just let the door open and send to fetch. over here im only using a few deks and carry...

Since hunting season is coming up I was thinking about switching to EVO from eukanuba 30/20. I don’t think she will have a hard time running during hunting season but she has loose stool a few times a week which im not too happy about.

ultracarry

who do you think had more fun you or him? took mine out this weekend also. first time on cock pheasants and had a blast.
