Next to seeing my kids born. Nothing in the word makes me happy than seeing a birddog work 😍
Great video. Well done. Glad I supported Upland Project!

I’ve been waiting so long for y’all to do a video on this!! From eastern NM and chasing scalies is a blast!

We are happy to deliver! Thanks for watching.

Nice and I love Mr. Trejo's style (actually allowing a pointing breed to run big and "point' birds vs. chasing/flushing). That big, wide rolling country of SW N.M. looks very enticing and on more then one occasion I've thought about loading up the Setters and heading there...

7:30 talk about throwing out the anchor! Beautiful work, guys!

Outstanding video and commentary, I have never been able to articulate why hunting behind a dog is so fun.
Ray, where did you get your dogs? I had to put my pointer down in August, missed the season. Ready for another……
