You may be right Kevin. I have never seen ruffies run like these Minn birds were. I've had folks tell me that Alaskan ruffies run from a point but every one I've seen just slowly and continuously walks away and if the dog is well trained, he just lets it happen. You have to get to a pointing dog very quickly if you want a bird anywhere near his nose and not 50yds away. Trigg and I worked out a procedure with his last GSP. He'd point and if it took us a bit to find him I'd move off to the side and haul ass in the direction the dog was indicating to try to cut the bird off while Trigg worked the dog and got him to slowly advance. One time I ran 200yds through thick black spruce forest before finding 2 birds sitting there. I was amazed.
