Dog questions...
Ok. quick breakdown. Forgive me if redundant, I didnt read the whole damn thread. You need to build prey drive in the dog....shoot pigeons as marks for his retrieves, 2-3 birds a couple times a week. If he has prey drive and is bringing you birds, great...your half way there. Once that game is...- Elmacho

Clearcoat duck decoys??
Buy 3 dozen oversized socks and put one decoy in each, then drag them thru the swamp and remove each as you put out the spread ..:)....all sarcasm intended. Good ideas though. Never thought about clear coating.....guess I am a bit slow....been pissed all these years about the finishes rubbing off- Elmacho

Deer rifles for young hunters
Depends on the kid. I have one that is 16 and extremely recoil/pop shy- he is working his way up to 243 still....---its mental for him---frustrating for me, one of my other boys took my 270WSM at 10 years old and never looked back- my 3rd boy is between the other two... Know your kid a bit and... -
What's your favorite duck?
Lol....Cinnamon teal are hard to beat, but when you think about it......God did some great artwork on the pintail, shoveler, widgeon and many others. Ducks in general win the beauty contest......but a Mtn quail is up there too....- Elmacho

DD/GWP
JLS nailed it....DD has an incredibly high standard to allow a dog/bitch to breed......breeding is not for the hobbyist.....whereas AKC has very low barriers to entry, if it has papers it can be bred. I think this is a big reason the DD and GWP are not considered the same, by many- Elmacho

Going Solo In 2021
Thanks guys! Just back to this. I am looking to go whenever, but probably late October or early December. Really looking more toward upland hunting, but if there is an outfit for waterfowl, would be open to it. (I shoot ducks at home- looking toward sharpies, pheasant and huns.) I will be a...- Elmacho

I believe OP is from ID. I am a NR and see what were easy to get with 2 point units 4-5 years ago now at 6-7-8 points.....kinda nuts, but it is what it is... -
Can you talk me out of getting a GSP
Trailsend- great point. Having a great dog requires quite a commitment- the more time you put into the dog, the better it will turn out, granted all the genetics show up. That means house manners, socialization and field work. Some are just defective, but its more rare among well-bred lines...- Elmacho

Garfield County sues High Lonesome Ranch over road access
Its nothing new. Same type of case happened down SW Colorado abut 20 years ago. Guy built a bullet proof gate on the side of a cliff- claiming his mining claim is private. Blocked a ton of access off to the best elk and deer- brought his asshole texas friends with him to threaten anyone that...- Elmacho

Can you talk me out of getting a GSP
Another vote for the drahthaar. I had 3 great labs! last one was a whiner in the blind- annoying....but was driven like a GSP. All three labs were great on upland birds. Since I spend more time hunting upland birds, I decided to try a Draht after seeing the temperament and handle-ability of a...- Elmacho
