Wow, sounds like me. Got my Brittany last year. Just picked up my Browning Maxus a couple weeks ago. I love it.

Yes he does. My son wanted a dog, I agreed if we got one we could hunt with. We didn't want a large breed. After researching we decided on the Brittany. We bought him from a kennel where the breeders are a family of hunters. We sent him through bird and gun intro and then a more extensive 4...

Thanks Choclab42, I will definitely be going to a hunt club before. I am hoping to get to one a couple times before they shut down this spring and then again in the fall. I don't know if the South Dakota would happen this year or maybe next. Just looking for some input on planning a trip so I...

I am considering a trip out to South Dakota to go pheasant hunting. I am looking to take my son with me. He has never really done any hunting, and I have never really done any bird hunting to speak of. I have a bird dog (a Brittany) I want to take with us. I am wanting to know everyone's opinion...

We got a Brittany about a year ago. He absolutely loves to retrieve. He can't get enough. The trainer we took him to actually commented on his drive and desire to retrieve. I hope me working with him before we took him to the trainer helped this. I listened to what others had to say. Tried to...

Thanks everyone. A lot of valid pointers have been brought out here.

A farmer had a field of watermelons. He noticed that someone kept eating his watermelons out of his field. He had an idea to stop the thieves. He put a sign in the field that read "There is one poisoned watermelon in this field, find it." Well, the two young boys that were eating the...

Hey Brocster, do you get out much around here or do you take road trips when you hunt. I have been considering going out on some of the management areas here around Belle Plaine and Jordan. As I am not from MN not sure where and when it is legal to take the dog out hunting or even w/o gun and...

Actually I do love the cold weather and snow. The wife is learning to dislike it since she does in home daycare and has to keep the little ones in all winter.

Yes, but I love the nice mild winters here. Just kidding. Work brought us here. We left for a while but we just love it here.

Hello all, my name is DeWayne. After moving to Belle Plaine, MN and wanting to get outside a little more during the fall and winter, I decided pheasant hunting might be best. Although I would love to get into all types of hunting here in MN I want to take one step at a time. My son begging for...
