elk hunter,
I am going to put some fencing up on my property so he can have room to run a little every day. Right now in dead of winter its hard to get him out. We just had a foot of snow this morning. I will try to post another picture of cash on point, I walked just past him, I figured it was a partridge that already took off, so I snapped a picture, then I released him, he moved about 2 feet around a bush, then stopped again. I took the second picture, and as I was putting my phone away that I took picture with, a grouse took off. That bird was 4 feet from me. I will probably never have that happen again. I am glad you like the pictures. I cannot believe how far he has come with his weight loss, and hunting ability. When I took the breeder of my dog with my dogs mom to the pheasant farm a couple weeks ago. He literally could not believe how far he had advanced in his hunting. I think he called him superb, it was one of the better moments in my life. That breeder has only had 5 litters of pups in 25 years because he wants all his dogs to have good homes. He has had a few field champions, his last one who is 9 years old now won michigan gun dog of the year for 5 years in a row, he was also a 3 time champion for either field champion, or national field champion, I dont know that much about field trials. He let me use his quail after he showed me what to do for training, so I was lucky to have birds on hand like that. I cannot wait for next hunting season.
