Most definitely a MAJOR commitment. But I have plenty of time. The main thing is I see no point in buying a pointer if they are not trained thoroughly to a blueprint.

There is something intangible about having your dog out there with you, Im sure you know what I mean.

You'll be alright then, like I mentioned to be honest a lot of what is in the deer dog blueprint is common sense if you have raised dogs before.
It's definitely a good foundation and I picked up some neat tricks along the way but I think it really does just come down to time in the bush with your dog and learning to read them.

Definitely great company in the bush though, always the one hunting partner who will never bail on ya!

As for Spot X books, definitely a good help for identifying new areas to check out and gives you a good starting point as to how to access/hunt them.
They are up to the 5th edition now (I've had 3rd/4th and now 5th). I guess the latest is the most accurate as access is always changing.

Could find cheaper, I picked up the latest in Hunting & Fishing down here when they opened up their new store.
