Don't think that I could keep up with them. I do wish you lots of luck with it though and hope you can post a few pics when the season is over. I also hope you get the chance to get out and run them dogs of yours soon. That way you can give us the low down on the birds. Take care and be safe.
Billy have you had a chance to get out with your dog? How is he doing? And I don't mean by plowing snow. Lol, that's funny.

oh yeah, we been working on the wing tied to a fly line. he has no trouble finding game. great nose. he likes to run in and demolish everything before it even flushes. had to start using a check cord. actually i need training more than he does. when i had my lab he required almost no training. but i didn't use him for finding or flushing birds either. he was nothing but a retriever.
found out something interesting the other day. i borrowed my neighbors dogzapper collar. put it on fritz. he was a whole different dog. when we were working i didn't even have to use the zapper portion, all i used was the pager. i would be willing to bet a dollar to a doughnut nulle didn't didn't train fritz with a collar. somebody else did and they did a lousy job. so most of fritz's training so far has been to unlearn bad habits. i went and ordered a training collar for him, the 880 volt special.
he's a typical german, hardheaded and stubborn, but so am i so we get along fine. one strange thing is he doesn't like to retrieve. but we will work on that bad habit.
the bird population looks good so far. more sharptails than i've seen in a log time and partrige have really bounced back. in certain ares pheasants are everywhere.
