my insight regarding GSPs.... dont own them... but seriously, dont.






There are a lot of good upland opportunities on the eastern side of the state. I regularly hunt the eastside for both upland and waterfowl. I think the best upland hunting in the state is the quail hunting. Lots of birds and lots of areas where they thrive. Much of the terrain i find them in is not conducive to a pointing dog but there are plenty of areas that are...
regarding your dog, i would try to meet up with some other pointing dog owners on this side of the state and see if you could get some tips for training her. "all the things a hunting dog is supposed to do" sends shivers down my spine. I have hunted with a lot of pointers that were descibed as all world when i was guiding and have seen them blow a lot of opportunities. It is a fine thing to hunt over a well trained pointer but a pain in the ass to watch one that cant retrieve, wont come when its called, isnt steady to shot, or we lose after watching it chase a hen pheasant that has taken flight into the next county. great memories and oh so good times...
I'd be happy to get you out and into some areas that you could try hunting next year. Send me a pm and we talk some specifics.
