I think the fact that our pointing dogs are required to point and hold vs flush and chase has probably saved more than a few dogs lives. A client of mine tells me his Brittany pointed a 35 pound Bobcat. CS, that’s a very interesting story indeed.

My 2 year old brittany named Shelly was working some hip high CRP with me when she stopped and pointed back toward me, up wind. She was about 10 yards away at this "point" and holding very steady so whatever she smelled was between her and me. So I got ready for a big pheasant we managed to pin and after two or three steps toward the area the bird should have been a huge coyote leaves from right off my foot running away with his head and body down in the grass. I looked back at Shelly to see every hair on her back standing straight up. It happened so fast I didn't have time to be scared, but now that I think about it the whole situation was spooky. I'm really glad the coyote ran off and we didn't have to have it out right there with two dogs, me and a shot gun. I could have kneed it in the head if I was ready. Thought this story might be worth sharing and thanks for your blogging. CS Dave,

He still says he wants to add them to our "list". Currently we only been hunting chukar, pheasant, quail and duck. Boz has tried to get the bunnies into the mix but we have been arguing. In fact last weekend while in the Panhandle of OK, some of the most intense points Boz had was on bunnies!! I hollered at him that they aren't on the "list" and he quipped back they should be. So now we have a stand off on if we are gonna hunt them. I told him after we limit out on the upland then we can do bunnies; he smarted off back at me that for that to happen he'll also have to shoot the birds for all the misses I make! :) ~F and Boz Gosh Dave,
