The namesake of the sire of my pup. RIP

And how about a dog figure on point that is dramatically different than the on the run. When my the Garmin says my dogs on point. I start heading that direction. I am watching to see if he has started moving again or is this a legitimate point. The dog figure is small and not much different...

+1. Also be prepared for some running birds. You'll get a nice point and by the time you get there they are 30-50 yards away and your dog will be resetting. I'm either getting worse at my wingshooting, or the low hanging fruit has been shot already. They also are smarter. Flushing behind...

I have only used SUV's. I like my dog being out of the elements while traveling. I'm about to get my second dog. My plan is to hunt them together. Haven't figured out a solution if I want to hunt one at a time in one day. On my Monday hunt, it got up to 73 deg in mid January. I can't leave...

I use the Alpha. I mainly hunt quail in Oklahoma. My male Brittany can range out 200-300 yds sometimes. Sometimes he's still in view, other times he's gone over a hill. Always know where he is and when he goes on point. This has been a game changer for me. I enjoy the quiet hunt while...

Good choice. I had neither when I purchased it so I decided to go with the all in one. One collar. Will say it is not fast to switch from different e stim levels. With one dog, I have three separate buttons programmed on one screen. Use vib, tone and one e stem level. Go to different screen...

Alpha for two seasons now. I really like the quiet hunt always knowing where dog is. Goes on point in tall grass, I know instantly and can go straight to him. I too tend to look at it a lot. May be due to the newness and learning to utilize it. And had a young dog. This season i have...

I'm thinking of trying a chest plate. He doesn't seem to be bothered yet. Hate to add more gear on him.

Having a blast with my brittany. He's 20 months. Had an awesome first hunting season. Great with the kids. 42 pounds. Rarely hear a sound out of him. I only upland hunt, quail mostly, so he's perfect. Good luck.

Brittman, where do you hunt? I hunt in western oklahoma and I deal with some rough terrain. Doesn't look too bad till your in the thick of it. I would love to let my brittany out of the truck and just go. May have to try it sometime and see how he does. Does Tuf-Foot work?

They were very vocal in November. Now I can hardly hear them.

Does anyone hunt bobwhites using a quail call? I often wonder if this would be helpful after a covey flushes. Are they easy to use? Useful or gimmicky.

I have tried the 1000's. I emailed them and they said that would be best for sand burrs. They worked well. The ones on back had holes after one day but they are cheap. I am trying the inner tube thing next.

Hunter94. What is your process. What boots. Do you wrap paws. I put boots on before each hunt. I have tried multiple combinations. He gets about 30 miles twice a week. I usually have at least one paw issue. Maybe that's considered success. It's not horrible either. Just makes my wife think I...
