Wow, 4 is crazy! I want another one, the wife doesn't right now. Plus this one is our kid for now. He's spoiled like no other, sleeps with us and so on....Not sure I could have 2 dogs sleeping in a king size bed with the wife and I, one is hard enough! I think having 2 dogs would be awesome to...

Thanks, where at in MI in the lower peninsula is good? The further south the better since my family lives in the south east corner. Is there a lot of public land that is good to hunt? Easy accessible and no hops to jump through like IL? What's the season for woodcock and ruffed grouse? Nick

We got him from a breeder in Michigan, Belinda Tantalto. Do you have a vizsla? If so where did you get him/her from?

Thanks everyone. I check out Des Plaines and know a few people that have hunted pheasants there....lets just say they advised against it. Like everyone has said it's a bit crazy there. We did run a hunt test there with the vizsla club of IL and the weim club of IL. That was nice...really nice...

Thanks. Do you hunt any public land/state land at all? Or is it mostly private landowners that you know? Nick

Thanks everyone for the replies. Unfortunately, making a trip to another state, unless it's WI, OH, IN or MI isn't going to happen. I already approached that avenue with my wife and got shot down. So going to South Dakota, Kansas and so on is not going to happen. That's why I am searching for...

Thanks for the reply. If you don't mind me asking where do you hunt? You can always PM me. Unfortunately, I missed to permit deadline (Aug. 31st), so I'm out of luck there. I have some numbers to call the different IL sites where you can hunt tomorrow, we'll see how that goes. Thanks...

Hey everyone, Well, last season I was stuck having to pay $100 minimum each time I wanted to take the dog hunting. I live in north east IL, about an hour south of Chicago. Last year I was stuck hunting at hunting clubs, paying a min. of $100 each time I wanted to hunt. This lead to me only...

A few more.... Nick

Hey guys, Well I took my 1 1/2 year old vizsla for his and my first ever hunt. We have been training now for a few months and Friday we got out to a preserve here in Michigan to hunt. He did really well, I was pleased...he tracked a few birds at least 500 yards to the end of the field. We...

Thanks everyone. I will try it out and see what happens. Does this happen often? I take it that it's pretty common when it's col and windy out? Thanks again, Nick

Hey everyone, I took my 15 month old vizsla hunting for the first time today and it was very cold and windy, his nose area is very chapped and red and he keeps licking it. Can you please offer me advice on what we can put on his lips to help relieve this? I know that vaseline is not good for...

Thanks again guys. When I say I raised the gun a little, it was the rib was covering it just a touch. Not a lot just a tiny bit. I will start looking around at used guns and try to get on the fits me. In the meantime I will just keep practing with what I have and I will let you guys know...

Thanks everyone. I will see what I can pickup at the store. Nick

Wow, thanks for all the info. Let's see if I can respond and hit all the points. - I was using lighter trap loads, not exactly sure, the gun club was selling them. They were 2 3/4", not sure on the load though. - I am 6' 2" and weigh about 165 lbs., so tall and lanky. The gun in completely...
