Gun Dog Forum

bossman

General plans are coming together. Appreciate all the input. Al Gadoury will be in the plan somewhere. (Saw Scotts' show). Have contacted some of your suggestions but please keep them coming. I owe all of you a good cigar, a drink of some sort or a good dog biscuit

! Your choice...Thanks

bossman

Looks like things are going great. Big Kudo's to you , Rich and Joyce. If it's ok with you, I just might sip some of my favorite scotch when I light up that cigar when Jill gets those two points. Not putting any pressure on, but won't light up that baby until I hear the good news (won't give any det...

bossman

Chip...You deserve to brag. That's great stuff ! Keep us up to date on her. I'm saving a special cigar to "light up" when we hear more good news.

bossman

My dogs dog very well on Victor High Pro Plus. Check out the ingredients. I'd consider it a middle of the road from a cost standpoint. Dogs do better compared to when I was feeding a more expensive feed.

bossman

Well, We've been out of the country for about 10 days and just checked the Forum. Julie say's "Way to go Rich and Joyce" We couldn't be happier for you and Patti !!

bossman

My nephew feeds Exclusive to his GSP's and is very happy with it. He does complain about recent price increases....but all food has gone up in price. Good luck with your new pup !

bossman

Some great idea's. Duckdon, Wyoming will be added to the list. Will check out our Blacks Wing & Clay Waterfowl book for destinations. Please pass along any you may know. Vison, your correct. Wild birds, decent motels , good local food. Will bring our own cigars. Al Gadoury will be contacted. Thanks....

bossman

Well, sounds like she's off to a great start! Congratulations

bossman

Let us know how she does this Spring on the circuit. Rich will do a great job. Wishing nothing but good things for you and Jill.....

Wife and I are planning a multi-state, four week upland hunt for the 2014 season (may be early but want to start checking availability ). Would leave north Texas and head to Montana, then to North & South Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas and back to Texas. Any suggestions on specific locations, guides/outfi...

bossman

For whatever reason, I'm sorry. I'm sure you and many of those that were watching for this breeding are disappointed! Good luck and I'll keep my finger's crossed for next year. Would be a "heck" of a match.....

bossman

Good question. I think if I had what I thought was a superior female, I'd follow ultracarrys' philosophy. If not, I'd agree with Cajun Casey. I'm just looking for the best dog while trying not to be "kennel blind". The same amount of time, effort and $$$ would be put into either.

bossman

Dave and Fay Walker have a long history of outstanding Brittany's. Used to compete against Dave in trials many, many years ago before I went to GSP's. They are good, honest people. While I haven't talked to them in about five years, if they have or are going to have some pups, it would be worth your...

I have not experienced any issues with the DT Collar other than the size of the buttons on the face of the transmitter. The beeper is excellent. The jump/rise feature is nice (comes in handy if the dog gets on a deer,etc..). Beeper has severeal modes that are controlled by the hand held trsansmitter...

bossman

This may not be of much help. I like to train with a TT Pro 100. But hate the TT beepers. I will usually hunt with a Dogtra 2502 T & B or a DT 2432 collar & beeper. The DT has the best beeper function of all (imo). It's drawback is the small stimulations buttons on the face of the transmitter. The D...

Wow!. I think I now remember why I got out of field trialing..

bossman

Gertie...Thanks. She bought a pair of Danners

bossman

All good ideas. We always keep a small weather radio in the truck.

bossman

Any recommendations. My wifes' Meindls are coming apart at the sole and heel. Seems like options are limited. Thanks

bossman

While it may be an added expense, I know that Hickox, the Smiths, Jon & Cindy Hann (Perfection Kennels) and Lindley also offer DVD's. You might want to view a few of these to see which method you might be most comfortable with before you invest in travel and time away from work. Just a thought. Whic...

bossman

Looks great! Wish I was there!. Is one of those pictures fo your Jill dog? Is the 4th picture down a pup out of his current litter?

bossman

Have you ever had a "bad" lookin' dog?? Love the looks of your Smitty pup. Good luck with him.

bossman

Sharon, As always, you one of the most thoughtful people on the forum. Right back at you for a merry Christmas and the best in 2013. To you and all the good folks on the forum. I'm going to bed with a smile on my face. Thanks

bossman

I'm with you on that one Elkhunter.

bossman

Looks very good so far. Need more details on the site about your location

bossman

Really classic pictures. What collar other than the Garmin is he wearing?

bossman

Thanks for the good information. I've just got to know you guy's from Minnesota and ND have plenty of experience with that kind of weather. Stoneface..headed to the Stockton area. Did pretty good on quail last month around Lincoln. Saw pheasants flush wild, never got a shot a one.

bossman

Headed back to Kansas day after Christmas. Looks like current forcast is for temps ranging from about 14-15 for lows and maybe getting into the mid 40's for the high. Any recommendations or precautions for dogs and hunters on those cold mornings. Thanks

bossman

Middlecreek...Very helpful post! Will now take a look at it...

bossman

Very nice! I think your cooler weather and snow might be just around the corner. Good luck

bossman

That's a classic. Loved the music. Thanks for sharing

bossman

Ultra...Good post, imo

bossman

Love those pictures. Thanks for taking the time to share them.

bossman

Persistance is usually rewarded. Not always easy, but rewarded. I have faith and will be looking for that picture with a big smile in it. Good luck!

PERSISTANCE

bossman

Great pictures! What kind of camera? I'll be checking in anticipation of seeing a picture of you and your first rooster. Good luck

bossman

dezasterous...Sent you a pm...Thanks

bossman

Hey Jim, you always do what all guides should do, but don't always do (if that makes sense). You work as hard if not harder than we do to get us into birds and always keep a smile on your face. We truely appeciate your efforts. The memories will last a lifetime. The pictures longer!

bossman

Great pictures. Love the looks of Sadie, really nice pedigree

bossman

Great pictures! But I think I'll stick to the flat land in Kansas and leave those mountains to you young guns. By the way, what type tracker collar are you using? Alpha? Astro? Other? Thanks...PS..Is that Kimber that came into heat? Might have to fly out to Kalifornia and turn Luke loose in your nei...

Well, since Delmar has been quoted recently on another thread, and for discussion purposes...Delmar says "When you breed dog's....you make sure you get a high tail. That way you get an inch to an inch and a half more muscle...that muscle from the hip bone back down there to the thigh. That gives the...

bossman

Hey VZ...Few things would make me happier than having you in the field with us. One of the really good things about the forum, even though you don't meet people pesonally, you get a good feel of their character. Maybe I need to put that on my "bucket list". Hit the field with a few of you, Maybe at ...

bossman

+1 on Slistoes' comments about 2 different lenghts

bossman

I think most people would say twenty feet is long enough. You will get different opinions on a choke chain, I have never used one, but talk to others on that subject. Good luck.

bossman

Chip, you've got a good eye. Since the dog's were finding birds (primarily quail), I actually had put up my 20 ga. Montefeltro and had just picked up my CZ 28ga. Ringneck. Tons of fun to shoot, very light to carry.

bossman

Check out www.permatack.com. By far the best check cords I've ever used (and thats a "bunch" !)

bossman

Thanks guy's! With the bird population in Texas so bad, we were going with pretty low expectations. It was great getting the dog's into bird's. Keeps my "old" blood flowing, if you know what I mean. Now actually looking forward to our next trip with some anticipation.

bossman

Hope you don't mind, but thought we would share some pictures of our 3 day Thanksgiving bird hunt in Kansas. Hunted with our friend and guide, Jim Gourley of Beverly, Kansas. Great grounds and as usual Jim exceeded our expectations as a guide. We rotated one of our 3 Shorthairs with a couple of Jim'...

bossman

I might have missed it, but anyone using additional "topo" maps with your Alpha unit? Thanks

bossman

Looks great! Love that tail !
