I think society says that "whoa" and sitting should not be used together. I trained my GSP the whoa command using a wing first, then live planted birds with the slip leash around his stomach. He picked it up very quickly. But to be honest, I don't think I used the command ONE time in the field...
All great advice!
I have a 1 year old GSP. I was extremely nervous that I was going to screw up the training last year. But I took it easy and the dog is an incredible hunter. His first year was amazing. Exposure to birds is key IMO. I had several comments from people that couldn't believe he...
Yep. It really bottle necks the hunters. Id like to see that hunt go to a draw. Make it a 100% draw but if you purchase the tag, thats the only tag you can hunt. I would like to see the same happen with the high hunt. It would relieve pressure in the high country, general seasons & the late...
My hunting partner Travis and I were able to sneak out for a few days this past Thanksgiving for some late season action. Hunting was tough with the lack of good bucks and wayyyyy too many people. But we still had a great time. Anyway, I put together a video.

My Step Dad Doug and I had an incredible hunt recently.
I put together a video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hGVrO6pIcpg
Here are a few pictures as well.
Dougs Bull. Scored 331"
My Bull. Scored 309"
Here is the bull Trav was able to kill. Its not at big as that 5x6 he passed on but it was still an awesome hunt and a great elk. He has a 51" spread on him. He was able to sneak in and shoot him at 10 yards frontal, then the bull ran out and stopped at 30 and Trav was able to pin wheel him. The...
I was fortunate enough to draw a good early season tag this year. I spent 9 days total to kill this buck. I spent 4 days before the season opened scouting, then a 2 day trip (cut short early due to weather) then a final 3 day trip. He was probably the 3rd or 4th best buck I laid eyes on and it...
Here is a picture of another bull that was a potential. Unfortuntely we never could get on this bull in time. Since we saw him we haven't been back to this area.
Short update. I had to come back to work today unfortunately, but Trav is still after them. We have been close to sealing the deal a few times but just not quite the right opportunity. As the hunt winds down Trav has lowered his standards a little, haha! We saw this 5x6 yesterday but couldn't...
Just a little background on this. We just woke up from a midday nap and were overlooking the cut when this bull walked out. About 500 yards below us. I threw my spotter up and said yeah hes a potential shooter. We slipped the stalkers on and walked in the ditch line down to about 150 yards above...
Thanks! I am wearing some Rimrok Stalkers. A buddy of mine from Idaho, Travis Nowtony just started making/selling them. They are pretty awesome.

Found a good bull on opening day. Watched him bed then we slipped in. I am the caller on this hunt and Travis made the choice to pass as this is a stellar draw tag and the bull had a broken second. Anyway, enjoy the video!!
