Jim and I snuck away again and met up with a friend to chase some birds. The roosters were running pretty good and leaving their lady friends in the grass for the dogs to point. There were plenty of hen contacts for my youngster and a few nice rooster points form the A team. Definitely need to...

We headed up North with the hopes of hunting the opening of a refuge we had run into. WE got up there Thursday and hunted half a da. I had plenty of opportunities to fill my limit, but my rushed shots never hit the targets. The guy we were with finally connected with a bird that I thought sure...

So, with thursday and Friday being in the single to low double digits, who will get out? One last push before deer season? What do you think the birds will do in that cold? Kbell I just sent you a PM.

Hubby and I were invited to go hunting with a buddy of ours. The accommodations were supurb and the eats ere good. The hunting was great. We had seen a lot of birds. But the videos will show that my shooting was not the best. The first video is of a wonderful miss of a bird my dog worked for...

I am out hunting for my birthday weekend and will report the happenings when I get back but......................I had to share this. Below is a video clip of what every dog handler prays for. Fine dog work from your older dog and your young pup figuring things out too and to have them produce...

Jim and I went back up North for a hunt. First place we hit we had pretty much to ourselves. There was a truck from WI. there, but that was it. The bird count there was down for sure, but we still got into some. The first bird contact reminded me of Nstrics in his post. We saw the dog working, I...

First, we used to take our dog in the hotels with us. But we have discovered that it is easier and much more restful to just leave them in the truck in their kennels. For cold temps, we wrap the kennels in quilts and have straw in them for bedding. This seems to work out well. When we get them...

Hubby and I headed North to chase some birds again. He is off for the winter and I have been waiting for us to be able to spend sometime together hunting. We also invited a guy from Wi that bought a pup out of my male. Thursday the birds were flighty. We really could get on them. We started at...

Walked this for 7 hours. Saw 6 birds. 4 roosters and 2 hens. One of the birds ended up in my bag. Abby, the small dog on the left, worked it up. I tipped the bird over and it hit the ground running. Max was on it and tracked the bird 130 yards from where I shot it. He brought it back to me...

This weekend I got a call from a friend of mine who was just about in tears. They had received an email from a guy who had bought a puppy from them about 13 months ago. This guy had taken the pup on its first hunting road trip. When they got there they met up with a group of guys and went on...

Kind of a diffrent hunt just because it wasnt on wild birds. But it was a great time. Jim and I put our guns away once a year to "Guide" I do use that term loosely. we met up at the church and got our group together. There were 4 in our group,plus a walk along. So we were allowed 3 birds per...

Last year, around Octberish, I bought a new pair of Mendle Denalis from Cabelas. I had gone through my Danners, Rocky's etc. All seemed to leak very badly. I was directed to the Denalis by a friend. I worked hard to break these boots in. Including wearing them all summer during training. Now...

Decided to go at it solo today and head after some birds. I was late to get up and by the time I got to my spot (Public) it was 9:45am. I get the dogs geared up and we head out at about 10:00am. I decided to take all 3 on the first run just to get the boogers out of them. Max goes on point and...

Its getting close to hunting time here in Iowa. Duck opens late Sept. and then Pheaz late October. First, what KEY items do you carry in your vest for the dog and yourself. Then if you could only take 4 items, what would you take? I carry a first aid kit, Knife, pliers,a pair of dog boots...

Got some rough news today. I will try to make it short. About 4 days ago Max had started to act a little off. It started while on a run in the woods. It was a hot day, but we had trained in much hotter weather so I didnt think anything about it.Plus, there were plenty of pot holes that he got...

I am sure there atleast a handful of people out there that have gotten new hunting partners over the spring and summer months. I know the excitement it brings and the work it takes to get that dog ready for its first trip out into the field or in the duck blind or boat. Gun shyness in dogs is...

Had a friend take a few pics of baja while I was training. She is coming along well and I think we may be done with FF. This weekend I hope to kill a duck on the water for her to see where she is with that. The biggest thing I was wanting to concentrate on was the presentation. Max had scores of...
