Have you tried different colors of collars? I have trouble distinguishing between hunter orange and the background brown. I use bright green collars on my dogs... Just a thought...
Do what I did get one of each breed! LOL
Either choice would be a good one IMO. Shorthairs are easier to find but wirehairs are worth the drive. My wirehair was my first bird dog. I wanted something a little different than normal but wasn't a pain to find. They both have great personalities!!!
Congratulations on the new gun! :cheers:
If it were mine I would give it a good cleaning (per instuction manual). Then take it for a few rounds of sporting clays.
I shoot IC/MOD in my SXS. Let us know what you think after you shoot it!!!
Prices are ALWAYS negotiable. I went to a big box store once and tried to get them talked down on a $1700 gun b/c I had found it online for $1300. They wouldn't do it. Then I went to my local gun shop (who didn't have one in stock) and asked him how much he would charge to transfer a gun for me...
This is what I do too. I use my GPS as a backup in case I get turned around. Usually with a mix of GPS and the maps its very easy to find your way around... :thumbsup:
I load mine into flickr and get the link for the size of picture I want to use.

Walleye fishing in Chamberlain. Never done it myself. Although there are always a TON of people fishing there when I go through in October/November....
