    Range on a GSP

    I’d say she’s much more in the tracking category she has not picked one up a couple hundred yards away or anything close. Just tracked cripples through thick cover while I was over searching where I thought it went down.

    Haha. Like a rocket

    Range on a GSP

    She’s pretty good at finding but her retrieve is D+ work, I plan to send her back to do some training and force fetch is up there along working on applying too much pressure. Finding crippled birds has been a bright spot for her season and offered a couple proud moments.

    Appreciate the insight I like it and I don’t mind some extra hiking

    Range on a GSP

    The father was a 400-800yd range and the mother was closer at 150ish

    Range on a GSP

    Certainly sounds like that style of hunting is more conducive to a lab style dog. I tent to run in more open areas after quail Chukar and did have a fun trip to Montana for the opener this year for Huns and sharptails but the rangier dogs tend to find more birds from the little I’ve seen

    Range on a GSP

    She follows her nose at a good clip and basically into any terrain if she gets a good wiff of something birdy otherwise she trots and searches at a moderate pace. In canyons like you’re mentioning she will go across and do her thing. At the end of the day, I’m killing birds I wouldn’t of without...

    Appreciate it, may be just be a case of grass is greener for me. Good getting input from others

    Range on a GSP

    Appreciate it, that’s been my goal as of late. Just let her do her thing and try and put her into new areas to build on experience and comfort. Been in northwest Nevada this week, and been getting our ass kicked. Not many birds so far.

    Range on a GSP

    Appreciate the input, it’s my first GSP myself so I’m learning as much as she is.

    Range on a GSP

    I don’t need range just for range or to compare to other dogs, my hope is that she hits areas so I don’t have to. That being said I think there is some validity into getting into more birds or areas with more birds so she knows her searching turns into success.

    Epic, well done and glad you shared

    Range on a GSP

    I’ll start out by saying yes I know and agree range is largely genetic and you can’t make a 50yd dog a 400yd dog unless you’re the one running away. However I have a GSP in her first season and she seems to have confidence issues, checks in a fair amount and doesn’t want to go too long without...

    100 chukar a season vs a trophy big game animal.

    Hands down days of bird hunting may be enjoyable like sunsets but those opportunities at once in a lifetime hunts where it’s all on the line really stick in the memory bank. I’d go sheep deer elk all day and fill in the holes with some birds. If anyone wants I will trade a Chukar honey hole for...

    I hope you’re not bad mouthing my Yellow jacket, that’s what beer used to taste like.

    Can you talk me out of getting a GSP

    Yep, no fat no coat and grew up with an average of 75degrees. But where she wins is in the hills in the heat.

    Can you talk me out of getting a GSP

    I’m going pointer next time around, need the dog to do all the running

    Drahthaar team rounding out nicely

    Almost went that way but for heat management in Southern California I went GSP but wouldn’t hesitate to go DD if climate allowed. Any feedback on how they hunt in warm areas and range?

    Nevada Chukar Hunting 2020

    I’m headed out this weekend to the area and am gonna give it a go around the Reno area, if I get into anything I’ll relay back. Been having good luck down here in SoCal with emm.

    Boise Chukar

    One other piece of info, I find that Chukar are around rock outcroppings if they’re islands on the mountain, saddles and scree slides. Along with anywhere else but I always get a bit more excited if I’m approaching that type of terrain.
