Setter Guy,

I had the very unfortunate and traumatic event of putting my English down over the 4th. Suddenly I am setterless. Not good... (very bad for the mental health). I would like to get some info as to what is out there puppy-wise, as I haven't looked for quite a while. My last dog was a female, Ryman line orange belton from Setters West in Montana. They have nothing available until Spring. I would prefer the same line, but a guy has to leave his options open and look around. Any help would be appreciated. Oh, and I am looking at two pups.

Thanks in advance,

You can e-mail me privately if needed. [email protected]

Scott Berg has great english setter and red setter pups. I just talked to him yesterday and he has a litter of both coming soon and there might be some started eight month old english setters avliable. Scott knows more about setters than anybody I know and his pups are priced reasonable.

I have one of his english setters and I am thinking about getting one of his red setters.

Actually the dog in my avitar is one of Scotts Dogs, and most likely the sire to his current litter of white dogs. He is a very knowledgable dog man, and would be worth at least talking to to get information before purchasing a pup.

2thepoint...I have two red setters from Scott...I will be running a litter through one if not both in the next year (likely have one bred Feb07). Both are out of his female Dolly. Let me know if you are interested in a pup next spring. Chances are I would be breeding to a Berg Bros produced red setter stud dog too.

I will also attest that Scott has VERY nice setters...Red and White ones.

I am interested. Because I will not be ready to take one of Scotts pups during hunting season this year, so next winter would be better. I drive 500 miles everyweekend during pheasant season and trying to take a 8 week old pup would be difficult.

Do you hunt up north for grouse? I would love to see one his red setters in action.

I do a lot of grouse hunting in the fall. I will be up north of Nashwauk Oct 8th/9th. Then up around Northhome/Mizpah Oct 20th/21st/22nd. Might make a couple day trips up around Mora this fall too.

Maybe I will get a chance to look at your red setters on October 8th or 9th. I will contact you when October is a little closer. (The first and second weeks of October are probably the best time to hunt grouse up here. Last year I put up 20 grouse in four hours the weekend before the Minnesota pheasant season)

I think I put up around 50 birds total last year. That was one of my dogs first grouse seasons, so I was pretty happy to come into contact with that many birds (grouse and woodcock). She was only 10 months.

I will get in touch before that trip. We will be staying in a cabin on Bear Lake. Im actually going up there today (for the weekend) with all the dogs.

      New boat question

      By Wanderer · Posted

      As a recovering machinist, I can appreciate that.  If the spec is 0.001 - 0.0015, then clearly the correct measurement is 0.00125, duh…

      I just figured that it is easy enough to just get a 3 bank so when the boat is not in use I can keep all 3 batteries charged. I have not bough a charger yet, maybe I will give it some more thought. Edit: After thinking this over, with the size, weight, and heat output of the charger (as well as the cost) I think it makes sense to just buy a 2 bank charger, I have a smaller charger i can use on the starting battery when the boat is sitting at home. Forgive me, for i am a retired engineer and I have to obsess over everything...

      Congrats on the motor!  I think you’ll like it.   I can’t say much on the charger location but I’ve seen them under the lid in back compartments and under center rod lockers.  160 degrees is more than I expected to hear.   Curious why you’re opting for a 3 bank charger with a 24V trolling motor.  Unless you don’t feel you be running you big motor enough to keep that battery up as well?

      I did buy an Minnkota Ulterra, thanks for the recommendations. I had a bunch of Cabela"s bucks saved up, which helped. Now i need to get an onboard battery charger. Where do you guys mount these things in your boat? The manufacturer I am looking at {Noco genius) says tht their 3-bank charger will run at 160 degrees, seems like a lot of heat in an enclosed compartment? Thanks for any input on this.

      You're very lucky a troop of Sea Monkey's didn't carry you away.

      Wasn't terrible at a state park beach. Antelope island maybe.  I wouldn't recommend it as a beach destination tho.  Figured I was there, I'm getting in it.

      The water looked and smelled disgusting with hundreds of thousands of birds sh*tting in there.  About as gross as the Salton Sea. When I duck hunted there I didn't even want to touch the water.

      It's kinda gross with the algae in the summer but I got in it anyway.  Wanted to see the increased bouyancy at work.  You can kinda tuck yourself into a ball and you'll just float with your head above water.  When dry off you look diamond encrusted with the salt.

      We went to the flats too. I dipped a tire on the rental car onto it just to say I’ve been there,but it was still pretty soft from winter melt. After seeing some moron in a BMW suv get dragged out of the muck I had no intention of repeating his stupidity.

      I've been out on the flats. It's like being on a different planet
