re: Tell me about your dog "breed" & why their great.

I’m sure you have fine dogs. And that is exactly what they are intended to do. I wish all breeds that were built to do those things, could consistently do them.

A GSP and several other versatile breeds can do those three things. But a GSP for example, quite literally cannot hunt the majority of December/January north of Kansas. Or may even struggle in cold Louisiana duck hunts.

Real oil field baw work.
I just like living too much and damn it seems uncomfortable to my senses to be covered in oil all of the time.

No haircuts.
You buy a good stripping comb and brush them well 2 or 3 times per year. Really, it’s dependent on what kind of coat you get, as they aren’t all the same. Some are “fluffier” like a WPG and some are slicker like a GSP. Important to talk with potential breeders and ensure the coat on the sire/dam is suitable for where you hunt.
I had labs growing up and transitioned from labs to several DDs. Put it this way, I bought 3 within the first 4 years of owning them.
I think every real hunter In Louisiana should have one. My first DD picked up ducks in the morning, pointing woodcock around lunch, and blood tracked a deer that night. I shot the deer only to complete the trio.
Name another dog that will do those three things and possible tree a squirrel, kick up a bunny, or kill a raccoon as a side quest doing it. I’ll wait.

Rabbit tracking is one of the key performance traits for a Drahthaar. In Germany, the hare is a huge game commodity and great emphasis is placed on hare tracking.
As a puppy, or the first spring of the dogs life, at the “puppy test” it is expected to point a bird and track a rabbit.
They will never be a pack of beagles, just like a Swiss Army knife will never be a machete or a butcher knife. But will it do the job? Absolutely.
I killed close to 50 bunnies while hunting pheasants/quail over my set of Drahthaars last year.
One of my dogs will actually circle them back to me. My other is liable to actually catch the bunny on the run, so it usually is headed the other direction.
I did have one catch a wild cottontail last year in South Dakota. If I didn’t have a witness I wouldn’t even say that because that’s a tough task.

I have Deutsch Drahthaars.
It’s a German versatile hunting dog. They’re built to hunt anything you want to teach them to hunt, but excel at upland hunting, big game tracking, and retrieving. Point, track, retrieve.
You must be a very active hunter or you are wasting the dogs capabilities. Further, if you don’t give the dog a job, it will create a job. And you won’t like the job it creates (drywall demo expert, shoe shredder, etc).

Most games are on SECN+ with the exception of D1 baseball tournament and a couple of ESPN+ games at away sites.
Your package either doesn’t have it or you aren’t looking very well.

These are destination states for hunters.
Kansas has some actual economy in Kansas City, outside of farming.
South Dakota is as empty as anything I’ve ever seen. And I love it.
re: Bethune—Frickin—Cookman…

First off, if you watched the game, Bethune Cookman can play ball.
10-2 in the SWAC and like 23-10 overall.
Hbcu in a talent rich state like Florida, they had several guys that went to major P4 programs and then transferred back home.

re: What are your ties to LSU? Any legacy stories?
Posted by midwestTiger20 on 4/7/26 at 7:48 am to Powerman
Started at LSU for undergrad and made it 1.5 semesters before finishing at a regional school. The distractions previously mentioned were my demise.
Didn’t love that I didn’t have a degree from LSU so I did grad school and got a masters from LSU.
