How many of you guys that walk logging roads use a dog? I have a brit but with how many birds stand in the road I could see a dog damn near getting in the way, not that I will ever go with out her cause she would be pissed.

my lab sits on the whistle and my pionters do the same for whoa if i see a bird before them. then there's all the birds you would walk by if you did'nt have a dog. plus we hunt between the roads too. :)

I wouldn't go out unless I had my Lab with me. Just tonight my wife and I went out for an hour before dark and was walking a skidder road when a ruffie flushed up. I shot it and it landed just off the road. I went right where I saw it fall and no grouse. My lab smelled it out and I would not have ever found it without him. When the grouse fell it rolled completely under a log and you could not see it at all. My Lab pulled through again for me. :) John

Would not go in the woods or walk a road with out me Setter or English pointer. If the dogs whoa broke stop it when you see them if not well? :dunno:

Is this some kind of code?
Merlo, you will see that there is an edit to your original post. My mistake I clicked on modify instead of quote.

Umm, dont get what your saying

I think I figured out what you are saying. You're talking pidgin in dog training lingo.
The dogs or dog broke when they saw the bird, so if a person could of fore saw this they could have disciplined the dog to hold the line a bit longer before the flush or hold until given the get go to retrieve. Got ya, I understand now.

I use to take my choc. lab Blue grouse hunting all the time. Drive up to about 5,700 feet and hunt up the hills. lots of walking but pretty damn rewarding. Always seemed to get limits :IBCOOL: Never hunted ducks with him only upland birds and grouse. Best damn hunting dog I ever had. He had the gift

I don't go bird hunting without my dog unless we're field hunting waterfowl, she stays in the farm house till the afternoon upland hunt. She never gets left behind :)

I would never leave home with out them. In addition to my setters I like to take my Jack Russell for the thick stuff. That way a simple grouse hunt turns into a rabbit hunt too.
