My son & I took Bailey hunting a couple of years ago, on a local quail plantation, and he was not finding birds like he should.

Let me retract my earlier post, I had a GSP here for training and Leroy couldn't care less for birds, he'd go up to the bird box and piss on it, The birds didn't mean a thing to Leroy,
It turned out that Leroy was out of show breeding and they don't get any better looking than Leroy but he was useless as a hunting dog.
Good luck.

I don't hunt him because, frankly, I can't afford it. Quail hunting in GA is virtually all on planations with put-and-take birds, and even the least expensive are several hundred dollars for a half-day.

We do go on long walks so he can point at deer and rabbits. At home he will hit a solid point on my flock of five chickens.

Our place is just too small, and I am just too old, to give Bailey the sort of life he deserves in his few remaining years.
