[QUOTE="Petras, post: 190572, member: 216"] choot em all. Yes, watching your dog work a scent and come on point is awesome, but to me, so is watching them retrieve a bird. Part of my reasoning for this is because my dog points even the dead ones haha. When she finds a dead one that I've knocked down, she points it for about 10 or 15 seconds and then she grabs it and brings it to me. There are things you can do to help prevent birds from flushing so far out. some of the things I like to make sure and do include hunting into the wind. This serves 2 purposes. First, it will make it easier for the dog to get on a scent before the bird knows they are there. Second is sounds. If you approach from down wind the sound you and your dog make will be masked by the wind blowing away from the birds. This improves the chances that you won't be busted by the birds before you are well within range and your pup is on their scent. I have a GWP as well and we hunt a mixture of both public land, and private unposted land. [/QUOTE]
