Nice Dog, I'm partial to those big bull Springers.

nice how did your dog react on his first bird? He knew something was there, just didn't know what really. Just as he pointed it flushed and he retrieved it almost to hand without a blink. Didn't take him long to catch on to the game. He's far from good, but that many wild birds was a great teacher and seems to have really improved his pointing. First place we stopped at he just ran and ran in circles sniffing and peeing on everything. I can't blame him, the 17+hr drive was long for me too! 'flave- He hunts more like a lab than he should so does that count?

Best thing about labs is they can take a solid punch!

And you think a breed made by Germans doesn't have that built in?

My uncle and I had a pretty good hunt this past weekend around Greensburg, Kansas. In a full misty day Saturday and a beautiful half day Sunday we got into 11 coveys of quail and killed 15 birds and managed to kill 8 pheasants. Most of the pheasant we saw flushed wild and out of range. I took my 1 year old GSP and my 10 year old lab. Both dogs did well and the pup did very good considering she has only been on pen raised quail during field trials to this point. SHe has some good solid points on quail and long retrieves on pheasant. The only disappointment to the weekend was the amount of land that has been taken out of Walk In hunting and is now either leased or posted around Greensburg.

Started the season with grouse back in Minnesota: I had help: Off to Montana: Some of those roosters had heads the size of cats! We named this one "Brock Lesner": A frosty morning of truck camping on Fort Peck Reservoir, where we ate Brock and some of his buddies.

Penny had her first experience with Sharptails; she done good: After deer season intermission, back to Kansas. Penny still needs her exercise, as do I. Besides, the little critters are tasty!

Took the Berreta out for a few birds this fall- in fact I used it more than my Westley Richards this year! Keeping up with the younger GSP's is getting tougher every year for this 11 year old Griff!
scopes are cool, but slings 'n' irons RULE!

Penny is not real big on "savoring the moment". Her nose is sniffing for the next bird or she's listening to distant rooster cackles or sharptail "chuckling".

Yes, very nice! The Rez closed 3 weeks ago(?), so I haven't been out.

Sam, I think I was in your neighborhood. I thought it would be nice to meet you, but that you were too busy bringing babies you found to barren women.
BUFFALOOOOOOOO!

If you drove east from Wolf Point you would have drove right by.

There's a couple of spots on the Bovine Mtns south of Grouse Creek that I'd love to get Hank to for some education with chukars. I hoping to draw both a pronghorn and a sage grouse permit for UT next year. Though flying would be easier/cheaper I'm seriously thinking of driving just so the dog can get a crack at a stinking bomber!
