Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Ask The Gunwriters Mule Deer- If You Were Looking at Bird Dogs?

I had English pointers for 25 years. They run big, not for everybody. We hunted from daylight to dark, usually had 8 to 10 dogs. It’s warm in Texas. We would run a pair 2 hours, swap out for another pair, usually run them twice a day. We would stop long enough to eat a sandwich at lunch, go again until dark. I had a bunch of day lease places I could hunt back then. I miss quail hunting, don’t miss taking care of those dogs every day. I had them in a kennel, washed the cshit into a trough, from trough to septic tank. I don’t know what dog food costs now, but I went through a lot of dog food in a month. I fed them Purina Hi-Pro, gave them a 1/2 CC of ivermectin each month. I had some live 15 years. There is no way I could have afforded heart worm pills for that many dogs.
