Hunting hungarian partridge in Montana with my 9-month old pup.
Pup caught 2 birds...very strange since each flew about 200 yards first.
First was a hun that flushed and flew low in front of her so I could not shoot safely.
I think it was a late hatch bird as the area I hunt does not get much hunting pressure.
Hun flew low a couple hundred yards and landed in windrow.
Pup eventually hunted it up and caught it buried in a brush pile.
The next day hunting MT huns along a spring creek we flushed a mallard out of range.
The mallard flew about 200 yards and landed back in the spring creek.
As we walked over, I whistled pup in from quartering and snuck in on the cut bank.
Mallard refused to flush...I think either it saw a hawk or thought the whistle was a hawk call.
So mallard dove in a small pool with riffle upstream and riffle downstream.
Pup also dove in and caught the mallard.
