: since they only get to chase wild birds
: twice a year when the woodcock come through

: Yes Ray us western folks are lucky to live in this big old western country.Great place to develope bird dogs with style We also work on dogs to adjust there range to tight country.
Got lucky and have a great friend Mike Mader which he lives in Montana, He suggested he would take my Rip pointer down to the Niomia Plantation to work with his string of dogs.Rip is two and is a big running poiner I thought new handler tighter type country? Wondered if he would adjust.Well he did and Mike had fun with him and Rip learned alot as they are loaded with wild birds. He also ran ran in Florida on another plantation.
Out here the most birds we have found was 43 coveys in a days hunt.That was with two dogs on the ground and fresh dogs every hour. there was less than 3000 acres on this place.The norn on that place was probably 12 . It is not that good now but we have birds for the dog that has no quit a great nose and knows how to handle and find them.Cant wate till hunten season.

: This has actually been a fairly informative
: thread if you discount all the leg hiking
: and BS. I have seen the products of the
: pro trainers I mentioned and when reminded,
: of a couple of others. Unfortunately, the
: scope of my knowledge in this area is
: somewhat limited, due to the parochial
: nature of my trialing.
:
: There have also been several pro trainers
: mentioned whose dogs I have never seen.
: That will certainly be something to look for
: in the future.
:
: One thing I can be pretty sure of, is that
: whenever I am braced with you, at least one
: of the dogs(yours) will be a pleasure to
: watch.
:
: See you in the fall.
