I’m going to meet a friend at another place Sunday to work his GSP on pen raised flight conditions quail . Gonna carry my Parker VH 28 gauge 26” F&F . I’d had thoughts about training a dog blah blah blah , but I’ve come to the conclusion once or twice a year of the tower/driven Pheasent stuff and one or two times a year doing the pen raised quail stuff and that’s about enough for me and even though the tower shoots are a bit pricey it’s a darn sight cheaper and less work than keeping a bird dog .

Take that Boykin with you tomorrow you will be surprised at what you get out of her. My puppy her sister hit the ground on her first last weekend. You could be amazed it just comes naturally.

I’ve done virtually nothing with her . And of course that’s no ones fault but my own . Might take her we’ll see .

It might be cheaper Craig but unless you are a dog guy (labs in particular) there is nothing that can describe the bond that you have with your dogs all year long. Dog ownership is not for every one but for those who own them they will know that they are worth every minute/penny spent on them. The old saying is "lock your dog and your wife/girlfriend in the closet then go to work. See who is happy to see you when you come home to let them out"

I’ve not tried to train a bird dog in about twenty years . Used to enjoy it but other obligations make it a bit impossible at the moment .
