Took Wednesday afternoon off work to enjoy the beautiful weather. I focused on some newer public spots that I scouted this past spring and it paid off.

An awesome air somersault!!! Good videos. That shot cam is great. I had one this season, a cold morning, my fingers were numb, a rooster flushes beside me, I try to click the safety off and couldn't tell if it was off or not, but I squeezed the trigger on it (it was still close), it fires, the bird drops. I walk up and it is doing a death dance, so I thought, I start to try to grab it, it gets airborne and flies away! I wasn't so quick the 2nd time, one shot and missed and he was gone. I really wasn't prepared for that rebound. Guessing I hit a foot or leg, I thought I might have been low at the moment of the shot. The things you see bird hunting!!

I saw a video recently where guys were remarking about the great "under the wing shot". In fairness, maybe they are deer hunters and they transferred the "just behind the front shoulder" line of thinking.

It is a Mendota Skid Plate. How big is your dog? A guy sent me a medium that Sage wore last year, but after she got sick, she put on a few pounds and the medium was just a touch to small so I bought a large and that's what she wears now.
Here is a link to the sizing and place I bought it from. I'd be happy to let you have my smaller one at no charge.
Mendota Skid Plate
Mendota Skid Plate. Offers high visibility and total mobility with an open back to avoid overheating. $47.99. Available in Small, Medium, Large, and Extra-Large Recommended by veterinarians to protect post-surgical wounds Designed with your dog in mind, the Mendota Skid Plate offers high...
Thank you GH, truly appreciate the offer. Pop would not fit in a medium, so thanks again for your kind offer. I've been using a Browning, with the velcro straps, and after 4- five day hunts, it is getting to the point where it should be replaced. I also have a Cuga vest as a back up, still new. I like the buckle system of Sages' vest, so I'll be ordering one now. All the best

I like the fact that you don't put your pal in a cage.Neither do I.I don't wear any orange, I wear camouflage. You don't use an electronic collar. Good move. I think you would make a good far north hunter.

Great video of your hunt. You have a great partner there. That video of the somersaulting rooster was amazing. They have a will to live like no other bird.

Yes they do! Most birds don't have people trying to kill them.

I've never hunted outside of South Dakota, but if I did, Montana would be my first choice!
In fairness maybe you should pay attention. Those guys know what their talking about, a roo will bleed out quick with a 4 lead through the hart or lung. May fly a little ways but when they fall their not moving, it's my favorite place to hit him and it won't be mangled up for the taxidermy guy.

There is an art to it, that's for sure.It isn't as easy as it was 10 years ago.
