Any chance you and a friend might want to come shoot some ducks for me at the Chesapeake Field Trial in Ronan in September? I'll loan you a duck dog or two for your guide work in exchange lol... I could use a gunner or two...

And, I may be able to arrange a couple thousand acres of land to work with some birds if I committ to some volunteer work at a particularly large group of land owners who wear boot strap beards I know real well. 😊

Post by: Bluemoon on August 07, 2016, 05:14:33 PM: Finally got my Hot Spot fired up so back with limited communication with the real world. Happy, my plan is to be back in Washington on September 4th to bring back client dogs. I HAVE to hunt Sharpies and Huns the first 3 days of the month. My first guided hunt starts on the 15th. so I'll come back over here on the 10th. to get a little more hunting in for myself.
We have 3 Pointers, 6 GSP's, 3 Brittineys, 2 Griffs, 2 GWP, 2 Labs and 5 Springers with us for this month so it is keeping Laura and myself extremely busy.
We will catch up with you somewhere..

Post by: Don Fischer on August 07, 2016, 05:27:49 PM: i think Coy More is still around; Moxee, Wa. R.J. Marquart is somewhere around Moses Lake (Quicksilver Kennels). And there Dan Hoke just west of Spokane a bit. I'm not sure where she's at, somewhere south of Seattle I think, Trena Cardwell. Very good reputation.

Post by: Happy Gilmore on August 07, 2016, 10:30:25 PM: Sept 15? I've got the chessie trial and western Montana to run and I'm free probably Sept 30? Tell me what's flying I may run your direction from Ronan. Maybe I can drop the wife unit off at the airport and head east with a truck of retrievers ???

Post by: Jim/WA on August 07, 2016, 11:28:58 PM: I spoke to Coy today. He has my GSP until the end of the month. No indications of any problems. He strikes me as more "old school" than most but so far I'm happy. The true test will be next month.
Title: Re: Dog trainer
Post by: Wingin it on August 08, 2016, 05:31:02 AM: He is definitely "old school" but he knows his dogs. Between myself and my buddies we have had around a dozen dogs from Coy and/or trained by Coy. They have all been solid hunting dogs. I am on number two myself.
