Sap Dog

Even during sap season, Dan's on the alert. Must smell the food cooking on the grill.

German Shorthairs & Maple Syrup

This is Dan, bored with gathering sap. So he decided to go through the wood pile in search of the elusive chipmunk.

German Shorthairs and Pretzels

This is "Dan" teaching Krisy how to eat pretzels while cooking down the sap from our maple trees.

Maple Syrup And Shorthairs

These are our pointers helping out at the "Sap Farm". Be careful because they will drink the sugar flavored sap when you're not looking.

Bird Hunting and Camping

Well it's time to prep the camper for the two month bird hunting craziness. As usual you have the leaks in the roof, places where mice have been and dishes to do. One thing I did not count on was last years menu still being in the fridge! I can't believe old Scoot made me forget this when we came home from last season. After a 2 hr. scrub all is well. I'm really not sure what was growing in there but it would probably cure some rare tropical disease. Filsons are ready, new beeper collar arrived, looks like the games can begin.

German Shorthair Training

At the very out set of this blog me & Scoot decided it would not be another how to train your pointer or some blog about paid for hunts. This is about two guys that have been at this in the Wisconsin North woods for well over 20 years. We wanted the humor and real life experiences we faced over the years with these wonderful dogs.

I just can't resist giving you a little training tip for the Shorthairs. In this training segment please take note of how to train your dog to be a good camping companion. A picture is worth a thousand words. Need I add more!
