Out chasing some non existent Nebraska ditch chickens. My girls did a hell of a job pinning this running rooster. I was really proud of them they handled it like pro's. 1 1/4 OZ's of sixes did their job and down this boy went. Wild pheasants are really a treasure anymore in most states due to habitat loss and poor nesting conditions for the last ten or so years.

Cool pics! A GSP is the dog I want to get when I finally am able to live in a place that has a yard(or more) Side note - did you ever get the AK land issue resolved? We did. Things calmed down when Moose season started  No one wanted to screw with it anymore when hunting season came along.
To be honest with you GSP's don't need a super big yard. If you can give them a couple hours of play time each day they are angles. They want to spend more time with you than anything (except hunting  ). Our dogs did great in corporate housing when we did the travel nursing thing.

I live in an apartment now, and in my opinion it just wouldn't be fair to keep a dog cooped up in one all day while I am gone. Even though I could probably make it work, I think I can hold out another year or so until I feel the time is right |

Between me and my wife almost always working opposite shifts, someone was almost always home. They crave attention, this sounds crazy but having two really helps any anxiety they have. |

VERY nice! Good lookin' dawgs, too!
What area of NE is this? I've read that, due to the drought, bird populations (especially phez) are way down this year. I hope they come back and you guys don't go the way of PA, where the formerly abundant phez pretty much disappeared in just a few years - never to return. I used to spend a lot of time camping and hunting in the NE Sandhills for sharps and chickens, before my wife had her stroke and I became a nursemaid/prisoner. The Sandhills are very unusual place, as I'm sure you know - very different and pretty. http://i230.photobucket.com/albums/ee263/Birddogman_photos/Nebraska%202006/9-29-CampSite-1.jpg http://i230.photobucket.com/albums/ee263/Birddogman_photos/Nebraska%202006/9-24-DogsatWork-ChasewatchingMaggie.jpg |
