Yeah I've been talking to him through emails. He was my # 1 pick. His price is $175 a week and recommends 8 weeks. How long did you have your dog there? Did you do the full 8 weeks? Money is kinda tight now and 1400 is a lot of money.

Hey guys. I have a 5 month old Brittany puppy. I'm looking to send him for some training without becoming poor in the process. Everything I've looked at is like $800 a month. Maybe I'm just cheap but that's much more than I thought it would be. Thanks for the help!

Iroquois county is pretty good. I like it a lot better than des plaines. You can either go the the Illinois dnr website and buy permits before you go our wait for the lottery when you get there. As long as I've been going there it has never filled up. All standby Hunters get on. It's not...

I got the OK from Des Plaines to hunt. Woo-hoo! And they were very nice about it. I was surprised. They're not usually very friendly down there.

I read somewhere on another forum that NJ had something similar and their process is even worse then ours. But yes the only state without some sort of carry law.

Yeah it is partly my fault. I guess i should've known better and sent it in August. But i figured 40+ days would be sufficient...

Just talked to my mother in law. She's a cop. She ran me and said I'm good until 2022. Just no card to prove it. Maybe she can print something out for me. If not at least i know I'm good...in theory. I'm gonna call des plaines tomorrow and see what they say. She sent her app in with mine. No...

Thanks for the link. It didn't make me feel any better. They're saying it's taking 60+ days also. I guess no hunting for me this year. I'll have to try and transfer my permits to the end of the season and hope i get it. I'm guessing they got a huge flood of apps because of the election and the...

60 days. What the hell. There is a law that they have to issue it within 30 days. But that is Illinois for you. We have to follow the laws but they don't.

Thanks for the info guys. I never made it out there to hunt. My FOID didn't come in time. 45 days and counting. I might miss another one on Saturday. I have 4 permits for des plaines. I don't know why it's taking so long. It's just a renewal.

My buddy won a few free permits to hunt tomorrow.(wed) Has anyone ever hunted here before? Just wondering how it is? Another side question. My FOID expired Nov 1st. For some reason i thought it expired on my birthday. The 28th. I still sent it out mid september for renewal but haven't recieved...

Just wondering if anyone has hunted here.my buddy won some free permits for tomorrow.

Thanks for the info guys. I am looking for a pointer so I'll check that one out. My wife would like a lab but I'm still leading toward a Brittany

I'll be at DPCA this November. This will be my first time there. We ususally go to Iroquois or Silver springs. What is the best field at Des Plaines?

We had a Brittany so I'll probably go with the same. My buddys have gsp but they are a little hyper for me. I need a good house dog/Bird dog mix
