We have had no luck finding the owner, but we did find it a good home.

I found a mostly brown shorthair while hunting SW of Madison, MN. If any one is looking for one PM me.

Opened up this past weekend in MN I didn't get out until Sunday around 2 pm. Got 2 just me and the dog working some pretty big patches of CRP that, I found out later, had been hunted pretty hard. On Monday 3 of us were out and had our 6 birds in a couple of hours. Lots of corn still in the...

Take him to work with you if you can. It might not cure the boredom or stop the chewing but it should give you the opportunity to keep an eye on him and let him know that chewing is not always an acceptable behavior.

That doesn't sound like a great deal, but it sure beats watching them on TV I guess.

And that right there pretty much sums it up. It really depends on the type of hunting you are doing and what you expect from your dog.

I've really only worked with flushers, but I have hunted behind many fine GSP's, they are a great breed. I would ask that question over in the pointer forum and you should receive lots of good advice.

Just thought I'd get a new thread going on the flusher board to counter the one on the pointer board. What's your favorite dog to hunt behind? I personally like Flushers, its the scare factor for me. The only advantage that a pheasant has is his ability to scare you. Why take that away by...

I like the additional surprise factor of a flusher. I agree the points are pretty, but I think the shooting is alot like going to the trap range. Nothing like having the crap scared out of you by a cackling rooster. Even when the flusher gets birdy you still aren't sure when the bird is...

I picked up the Beretta 390 2 years ago after I was on a hunt in SD and had to use my dad's 391 that he won at a banquet (I forgot the keys to my trigger lock, oops). Galyans had them on a close out deal for $500 I thought it was a great deal, new 391 was going for about $850 at the time. It...

I usually end up switching between a remington 1100 and an Beretta 390. I'll use the beretta when hunting in a bigger group or with better gunners (it only holds 3 shells). If I think I am gonna need more than three shots hunting alone or in a small group or when posting in SD, basically...

I couldn't agree more. I prefer the wild birds anyday, even if that means I come home empty handed. It's called hunting not killing.
