The dogs didn't like not getting out for a week so I took them for a run on Sunday morning armed with a Canon. I'm glad I got my wife a camera for Christmas last year. It didn't take long for the dogs to find a few quail hanging around. Three birds flushed at first and then Blitz found a...

I figure we could stay with the game theme since the season is just about over. I won't be going out on Saturday and with no late pheasant season close to home my season is pretty much over. So, how did your season go? I got out as much as possible with the dogs and probably had around 20...

Today the Susquehanna Valley Chapter of Pheasants Forever held its 3rd Veterans Hunt. It was a great day with a lot of good memories made. We also need to thank Jerry and Michele Walker of Mason Dixon Hunting Farm for having us. Here are a some pictures of the hunt. I'll add more info later.

The other day my neighbor asked me for a good place to hunt pheasants. I told him I'm taking Thursday afternoon off and he can join me. He took me up on the offer and we headed out around lunch time. The dogs worked well with several points and we also had some wild flushes. I think we got...

Since we talked about game week, I figure we can talk about game time. How did everybody do? Spent a little time in the morning hunting before I had to get back home. Only found one rooster where I was hunting. Both dogs tracked it 75 yards or so and then the bird flushed. The dogs were out...

I guess since Saturday is the opening for pheasant that makes this week game week. Are you ready? Are the dogs ready? Do you still need to get anything done before Saturday? I've shot clays over the summer to help my shooting. The dogs are in shape and were able to do a couple of preserve...

I released some hen pheasants over the weekend since they are mature and we can't hunt hens down here. I ran the dogs a little today and they were able to find some of the hens and a few quail that have been out for about a week and a half. Here are a few pictures: The dogs tracked a running...

Who's going out for dove this weekend? I don't think I'll make it out Saturday but maybe a few evenings next week.

Saw that the PGC posted their stocking information. It will be nice to have birds stocked throughout the season. http://www.portal.state.pa.us/portal/server.pt?open=514&objID=600632&mode=2

I was looking through the most recent PF magazine I got in the mail and I noticed something. Look at the picture on page 24 and the description. What is wrong with it? I guess there was a reason it looked familiar.

I was up early today and took the dogs out to run before the heat and humidity gets too bad. I released some quail from the johnny house yesterday and since some of them stayed out all night I thought the dogs would have a good chance to work some of the birds. The first group of quail were in...

Picked up 160 day old chicks from the PGC yesterday. They made it through the night and all is well so far. I hope I don't have to deal with the October snow this fall. Which reminds me, I talked to a guy today that lives in the area and he recently saw a hen that still had blinders on that...

I was fishing in a pond close to where I released the quail from the johnny house last month and I could hear the faint call of a bobwhite quail. I looked around in the edge of the woods and I saw a male quail. A short time later I saw a hen quail hanging out with him. I also saw another hen...

I belong to a club that bought some additional farmland a few years ago. They have been renting it out to a farmer for soy and corn since then. This year will be the last year the club is going to rent it out. They would like to do something with the land and enrolling in CREP was an option...

I had a chance to get the dogs out and run them on the quail I released yesterday from the JH. The dogs went on point but until I got closer the birds ran off. But I did get some pictures of the dogs: Nittany and Blitz Shortly after that the dogs worked about 50 yards down the edge of the...

Last summer I got 30 quail for my johnny house and today I let them out of the JH so I can get it cleaned up for this summer. Plus I was just about out of food for them. I had 22 quail left in the pen plus one more that has been hanging around outside for the past 6 weeks or so for a total of...
