Gun Dog Forum

Alright everyone it's that time again. Looking to get another training/get together day going. Anybody want to throw out some dates, times and locations. I am thinking about sometime in July so that Ezzy can get better and come play with us. Lets see what everyone comes up with and I will try to get a list going. If you want to PM me with your thoughts that would be great so we can try to keep this organized this time. I will update this thread as ideas come in.

Jesse

I am interested.

Charlie

Me too!

-John

if it's in the Wisconsin/Illinois area, I'm in.

I am thinking we go back down by Ezzy and Joe as Ezzy has some land he said we could use for training. Not much around here so Madison is out.

Jesse

So I am thinking about July 23rd/24th at Ezzy's place again. It seems that he is kind of central to all of us. What do you guys think? Don't know if we can get Jonesy to come again and grace us with his wonderful wisdom but we can hope. If anyone has any other ideas of dates or times please throw them out there.

Jesse

Attending ! Win lose or Draw I'll be there for this one.

I'll be there.

Ezzy

Does this mean the job worked out for you and your not getting out of the dog game? I hope that is the case!!! hope I can make it to this training and meet you along with all the others on here!

I would like to add that the price for the birds is going to be $2 a piece. Any tips are greatly appreciated. There are plenty of Hotels in the area and I am sure if you ask nicely Gittrdonebritts and Ezzy would be happy to kennel a few dogs. Keep the PM's coming.

So Far we have:

Coming
Brittlver
Gittrdonebritts
Ezzy
Jonesy(Need to verify)

Possibly Coming
Onk

I will be in west virginia last week of july and second week of august training dogs with my cousins and attending a family reunion in summersville so i have to miss ANOTHER ONE ..i better be able to make the one you all have in the fall for sure, its sounded like the last one was alot of fun and i really would like to meet you guys ....ruth

UPDATE: my hubby brian said even though i will be gone he'd like to attend and meet you all..i talk about alot of you so much he feels like he knows you already would it be ok if he came in my place?? he can bring birds and food to grill ....ruth

Only if he brings the food and beer. We won't require himto wear a skirt or anything foolish I hope he knows he is welcome and we would love to have himcome down. Sorry you can't. Where in W Virginia? My wife is from there. But she has learned to talk English :roll: and you would hardly know she came from there.

Ezzy

i will keep the skirt and heels here then!! Ezzy i told him you said hes welcomed and he said he will be there, but only if he can be referred to as GUNDOGS HUBBY, ok maybe that was my idea he said the 30th sounds great and let him know how many birds to bring and he can bring some burgers and hot dogs and buns for everyone too..but count him out on the beer, he dont drink, he will bring coke cause its his beverage of choice, over water actually ..he will be bringing JERSEY but she only drinks molson canadian ..i will for sure have to catch the next one!! i will be going to SKYLES west virginia to my families cemetary (whaling) and to train some dogs with my cousins..my moms side of the family is all from there, she was born in RICHWOOD and grew up in SKYLES..now most of the family lives in SUMMERSVILLE (thats where the reunion is) but my cousins own hundreds of acres all over there and they mainly hunt deer..its beautiful there, we go every year to the reunion the 2nd week of august and love to fish there with the kids too....ruth

They sent me to get a drug test yesterday but they did that with the others who were applying as well hopefully I'm the only one without a drug problem. I wouldn't miss a chance to pick on Al (Ezzy) for being old, and Jesse (brittlver) for being such a Newbie

At least I am not going Bald. Lol. Kidding a side. I hope you get that job, you need something good to happen to you.

so i just punched up dixon illinois from my place and its 7 hours ..i will need hotel info from you ezzy cause brian will have to come the day before in order to be there early enough for the get together the next morning..can you pm me your address when the time gets closer and any hotels close to ya brian said if hes driving 7 hours to get there JERSEY better be a finished dog by the time he leaves he is a kidder so be prepared ....ruth

Yep pulling for you getting that job also, good luck! As far as food goes I can bring as many hotdogs or brauts as ya'll can stand to stuff down your pieholes! Friend of mine is a foreman for a company that shall go un-named to protect the guilty...he gets all the dogs, brauts and packaged cold cuts anytime I want any. He got me several cases to take down to Joplin when I went. If I can be there let me know how much stocking up ya'll want for winter and I'll see what he can do!

well i guess hubby wont bring hot dogs then how about he brings moose burgers instead ...ruth

Never had moose that I can recall!

I am all for stocking my freezer with free food, Bring as much as possible. Don't be shy about the amount either.

Will do Britt!

you'll like it the next thing you know you will be coming here to canada with your 308 rifle to get your own moose ....ruth

Ruth I would mind doing that at all, I would love to shoot a moose with a rifle but more so with my bow. Looking at doing something like that in the next year or two.

Jesse

getting em with a bow is quite the added challenge since you have to get alot closer and i prefer to stay waaaay back..plus its hard to keep the dog steady on them until you get there for the shot ....ruth

I am scheduled to work that weekend. If I can work something out I will be there. I will keep you posted.

Charlie

My wife and I are considering coming, gonna depend on finances, any campgrounds close Ezzy?

-John

Yea I will be there, my dads birthday is July 31, so sat July 30 will work out fine, or I will make it work out fine. My word on it, Jenny is gonna put in to have it off so all should be just fine. What about weims lady an her husband? They seemed to have good time last time. I liked everyone, what about cpainter also, he had lotta fun to it seemed. I have fella from Indiana that I have mentioned it to that will prolly attend also. Thanks Jonesy

There are motels within a couple of miles, Yogi Bear camp ground with in ten miles, places to eat , and a back yard for sitting and telling lies. I will be busy with our fair and rabbit show Thursday,judging the Rabbitt Carcass show Friday, and hopefully can get free Saturday and finish up with the 4-H kids on Sunday. Just might be a busy weekend but that is always good, working with all of the kids. Been doing it for 60 years now and we keep growing. Trying to get a pigeon club started now.

Ezzy

Heck yes, working dogs, meeting new people and a fair in town.....what else could a person want out of a weekend? I also have a rather large tent if we could find a place to pitch it. Could sleep several and save on motel/hotel cost!

I hate all you midwest people. S. California is like 1 million miles away.

Ummm.....In my excitement, I may have overlooked my first wedding anniversary. (July 31st). And while I explained we'd be home in plenty of time, I'm not sure the wife is buying it....stand by.


-John

John buy your wife a bird dog as your anniversary gift to her, she would then have to go along with the plan! Problem solved! Glad I could help.

looks like its about a 9 hour drive for you mcclinj, if you leave the same day when the training day is over you may be ok but if you stay the night your anniversary will be a road trip heading home.. my hubby and i always do road trips they are alot of fun, we drive all the way to CORBIN KENTUCKY to eat SONNYS BBQ for supper its a 6 hour drive but its fun to just make time to go for the ride and talk..it can end up being a great weekend for you both, just tell her as long as youre together thats what counts ....ruth

i love CORBIN, very nice people there my dad passed away years ago and him and i use to eat at sonnys bbq all the time so i love to go there but the closest one is in CORBIN, so worth the drive for the pulled pork sandwiches...sure will pop open a coke for ya.. ..ruth

Jonesy, I loved the first group you did, and look forward to the next!!! I am hoping next spring we can get you to come up and do the full blown all weekend long gig you just did in MO... I will have my new pup by then so will be all over that! In the mean time, I am planning on the 30th to soak in some more knowledge, and observe the "touch"!

ONK.... your not pilfering the Oscar Mayer Plant there in MO are you???


Looking forward to this again! glad to see some new/more folks coming as well.
