As opposed to shooting a 28 gauge and probably wounding every bird you thought you missed, I’ll sleep good tonight!

Next time out that’s exactly what we are doing!

Popped the head off a pigeon this afternoon let the blood drip on the bird and we jumped two levels of intensity. Had a dozen real good retrieves on check cord. Every dog has there own timeline!

Thanks dude I have a covey waiting for you!

Dude I’m not overly concerned yet, he has a fun and friendly demeanor. He fetches very sloppy and it’s obvious this is man made from no structure. From my experience a hobbled pigeon laying on the ground is in grave trouble around a pup. We will get there

Intro is correct, this guy is a casual hunter who may go 2-4 times a year and his first bird dog. He won’t hire a trainer, not that committed. The goal with this dog is to get him gun broke by end of year if he’s ready and prevent a bad experience that’s why I’m stepping in. Some backyard...

I guess my question is with a non pointing dog is everything based around the fetch, or search drills with hidden birds also done. I’ve gun broke several dogs and his enthusiasm says he’s not ready… which is fine we have time

Need some tips from guys with flushing dogs. I’ve only had pointing dogs so I’m reaching out for some drills and tips for a field bred golden. Got a friend with a new pup, currently 4 months old who reached out for help on gun conditioning. I’m more than happy to help so we have had 3...

It’s actually a really cool way to wrap up a career, just pure instincts in total silence

My brother has a completely deaf 14 year old dog that gets around amazing for her age. For the past 2 years we give her hunts by herself with a tracking collar and just follow the dog. This doesn’t answer your question but at this stage and the short walks she can make it feels right to just...

Hats off to you, that seems like a lot of labor and wouldn’t be worth the effort without real results.

Don’t bring a knife to a gun fight!

I’ve got a friend who is a falconer, he was training last week with a new Peregrine on pigeons when a red tail came down and killed his falcon on the ground after a kill.

It will screw with a fixed male in between the ears, bad luck man.

I’ve been that guy when she came in during the trip… it was miserable. For everyone and every male dog

Mountain quail are a real cool bird, we made a shot in the dark trip off some intel from some deer hunters in nm. We found 2 small coveys, I missed my only opportunity and my friend got two. Not a bad showing for one day of effort. One day I will try again in a better location

In other words don’t bother unless you need a change in scenery

Talked to a friend around garden city last night said quail have had a nice bump this year, pheasants are a fraction better than last year but that doesn’t take much.

I’m not putting down the 28, I proudly own one. It just stays at home on pheasant hunts
