I guide a little bit at some game farms and one farm has a duck pass. Clients shoot ducks as they fly overhead. My girl Ruby had a big fat mallard in her mouth and was coming back to me. She is trained to deliver to hand. Another mallard gets shot and off she goes. About 3 minutes later she...

In my experience pheasants run first, hide second, fly third.

Sometimes I see people calling the dog and giving commands and walking around where the bird fell. I like to get the dog to the location if they didn't see it fall and let them use their nose. Be quiet and watch the majic!

I have a need, a need for more cowbell!!!!!!!!!!!

The drive to hunt is stronger than anything else in their world.

You need that gun!

Interesting concept. I like to look at ROI (return on investment) I could probably spend that 250K on a lot of hunts for the rest of my life and not spend it all. Partnerships can be tricky unless you know the others very well. I am interested in what others think of the concept.

Wind River, I love the looks of your Goldens. Do you mind me asking where you got them? I raise and breed Golden's and am always looking for good stud dogs. Nice job on the huns. Nothing better than watching a great field bred golden do their job with enthusiasm and style!

I like the penalty for the youngest bird! Might have to institute that in some of my hunts.

I have a couple of goldens and they are fine in the intermediate kennels. I had the large but switched so I could stack them in the back of my F150 supercrew. We can get them back to back and stacked and fit four dogs in the cab with us when we go hunting.

Welcome to the site. Most guys are very nice and helpful just ingore the others. Congrats on the SD trip, look for food/cover/water and there should be birds close by.

Mike, sounds like some great hunts and an awesome story to tell about finding a lost dog. You are teaching more than hunting to your nephews.

Food, water, cover. That is it. If you have food and cover but no water, birds will be scarce. Water and cover but no food, they can't survive. Water and food but no cover, the predators kill them.

Livin the dream Mike! Can't wait to get out there with you this fall.

Brent, great report! Do you ever wonder what dogs think when fall comes around? Do you think they know there is a season opener and closing? Or do they just wonder why we are lazy and not taking them out hunting everyday?!

I have the Browning white lightning. I love it and have started to use it exclusively.

Jonny, believe it or not I still have a few avavilable. I have two males and two females that are open for consideration. These pups will be ready to go to their new homes on Oct. 29th. Let's talk if you are interested.

I don't know, maybe they did. But is was a great tool for my daughter.

Tuckr2 They do make one! I bought some "tracer" shot shelld for my daughter when she was shooting trap so she could see where her shot was in reference to the clay pigeon. They come in either black tracer or orage!

Great insight Brent. That was my thinking 10" at 40 yards, less at 25! But the thing I teach new shooters or new people to the game farm is that the shot string is real. What it teaches them is to lead a bird. Most point at the bird or under the bird as it rises and never hit the bird. Once they...
