You need categories like the Oscars to be fair like, "Best Facial Hair in an Avatar Picture" etc.

He was my first pointer, man it just makes me think back. I deer hunted 4 out of 7 days till I started bird hunting with him! Now it is all bird hunting.

Bos does make a good point. Some pics are in hunting situations some training some fun etc........... there are tons of very good avatars on this forum.

I like mine but I am bias.

knines is very cool esp. the zoomed out version of it where you can see the rooster in front of the dog. Also a +1 for prairie's except for the ugly guy that keeps flashing up in the avatar!

baileydog2007 · Post by **baileydog2007** » Fri Jul 08, 2011 4:52 pm

Ill have to add northern cajun to my list. Too tough to rank those 3, 3 way tie I guess.

LBH · Post by **LBH** » Fri Jul 08, 2011 4:53 pm

One of my favorite avatars..."Wagonmaster"

Onk · Post by **Onk** » Fri Jul 08, 2011 4:55 pm

I would just like to figure how praire gets rotating pictures in his avatar. Simple things blow my mind!

prairiefirepointers · Post by **prairiefirepointers** » Fri Jul 08, 2011 5:10 pm

Its a GIF file. Its really simple if you have the software to do it.

Thanks for the kind words on the avatar. I was actually going to change it the other day, then remembered I had to burn my cpu down late last winter and lost a ton of pics. I have them on memory sticks, but I didn't feel motivated enough to hunt for them.

My avatar pic was taken while guiding a youth hunt......I LOVE THAT YOUTH HUNT!!!!!

Unfortunately I was hog hunting this year and didn't make it back in time

. I was close but they were finished when I got there.

. JK.

Seriously though, there are way too many good ones for me to choose the best. I do like Ron's but I am biased. I really like prairiefire pointers' and I have always been partial to Elroy's Bandit's and even more so now that I have one of his son's.

The dog's owner should be part of the avatar. After all, it's a team effort. Of course I only say that since I'm a big ole handsome guy!

Have always liked Ron R's for a long tail slick dog.

I loved mcbosco's old avatar as well.

Be interesting to see the full size versions of everybody's avatars. Maybe its just my aging eyes

I'd especially like to see Shortfat's photo, thats a cool picture there.

Thanks, I'm really blown away with the compliments on my avatar

. The funny thing is that I always thought that his weakness/hole/flaw is his lack of style/horrible tailset

I like your dog's tail. I think there are a lot of tails that look good out there, not just the 12 o'clock tails. I also like a low crouching setter with a low tail too, and everything in between. To me its about how the dog looks balanced overall, and intensity.

Thank goodness my wife hasn't seen that pic. I'd be single and she'd be heading back to Illinois

I have been trying to tell you.

IMO, he has style and his tail carriage is fine! I actually like it better than the poker straight 12:00 tail. I have nothing against a 12:00 tail, but Chopper's just looks more natural to me. I am just happy to see that I am not alone. I think it has something to do with the era I grew up in.
