If I shoot they continue watching in disbelief. When others miss they look back at me laughing then go on.

I also have 3 different friends that have older out of state hunters here. I will probably get a call to bring the dogs and hunt with them. They all have great private ground.

So here is how hunting goes for me and how the #s stack up. Hunted 4 days last week with 2 to 4 guys , took a total of 14 birds home . Those are my birds and my sons . Sunday I cooked off 10 birds for a early Thanksgiving get together for family and friends. Potluck dinner I brought Asian Zing...

I am glad she isn't gunshy. I never thought she was my point is gunshy is very hard to cure but done properly with many birds it is possible. If that can be cured with many birds so can other things.

Only 63 and somewhat hunt conditioned but 2 hours in the cattails and willows and I was gassed.

It takes birds to make a bird dogs. Some dogs need way more birds then others. PK uses lots of birds/bird contacts to get dogs over gunshyness. In your case start out with birds in light cover and keep increasing the cover until the dog is hunting close because of how heavy the cover is. As...

See my post.

One of my dog has been favoring a front leg off and on for about 4 months. I took him to my old school vet who handled up on him pretty good and the diagnosis was probably arthritis as the dog is almost 9. I took him to my other vet and had him xrayed. They said only thing we see is a little...

Well I see way more out of state hunters that are hunting public ground with dogs. Trailers and vehicles with multiple dog crates are more common then ever. I will say most appear to be older with the occasional college age hunters mixed in. I know many of the older people I hunt with,guiding...

Quick hunt 40 acre CRP. Saw 20 hens got 3 of the 4 roosters we saw. VDD'S got 2 coons. 5 guys 5 dogs The original Cockwobbler and my son Knothead .

Hunted with my son and 2 of my weims tonight. First 10 birds were hens. Wondering if I jinxed us. Finally shot a rooster took the dogs a while to retrieve it. They worked the blind retrieve for a couple minutes made a recovery 70 yards away. Then 5 minutes later another rooster shot. Looking for...

It just occurred to me that I see way more roosters then hens most days that I hunt. There are days where the hens are 20× the number but that isn't often. It does happen on public ground more then private.

15-10 =5 so I can go hunt 3 days or more if I give more birds away.

I have a number of friends and family happy to have birds. I take 5 to 10 different people out over the season and most are happy to take birds. College students love free meat.😉 I cook up about 10 birds at a time for our weekly pf banquet committee meetings. Pheasant and dumplings. Pheasant...

I have been out 4× less then 3 hours total time. By myself twice and twice with another dog guy. 15 birds total. I am not a fan of hunting above 45°. From Dec. 1 till Jan. 31 i will probably shoot 150 birds. That is about my normal take during the end of the S.Dak. season.
