Have to agree with Kansan, it's the good stuff, for sure. My 40# Britt. never was unable to get through it. You might not see him in it, but I can keep tabs on him with Astro.
We used to have some really good duck & goose shooting near here, until I was pushed out by "sportsman" who were greedier than I wanted to be. So like you, I focus on trying to find birds for my Brittany. I'll take him to Michigan for grouse & woodcock. Although you can find woodcock here at...
Bd4evr, thats a pretty long drive to Lucas. But it can be a fun trip, my Britt and I head to Kansas from Va. each year. Access is so much easier than trying to find birds in Va.
You should check with your breeder on the range of the prospective pup's parents. My F.B. will range 200 yrds. and more in open country. So they can not all be expected to stay in gun range.
