Old school

[NDPheasant]

I spent over 20 minutes looking for a bird a few days ago, encouraging the pup who kept giving up on it. Finally, I heard wings flap and then silence. GPS had her 100 yards away. Walked to her and she is laying on it in a pile of feathers. It wasnt tore up, but dead. Wouldve liked to see how that went down.
Losing a bird drives me nuts. A guy shouldnt hunt if they routinely lose wounded birds. At least try to fix whatever the problem is.

Love the patience! We give up too easy sometimes. This sends a bad message to the puppy. I was ready to give up on Willow two weeks ago but one of my best friends has a Vizsla also who is two and just a fantastic dog. We continued the search and his dog located it after about 15
Minutes.

We always look hard, sometimes come back later.My young dog is on it for a foot issue.We lost one the other day in deadfall and brush.I couldn't get in there or my old dog.

 

[Goosemaster]

Wasn't that long ago that you were telling us that you were losing as many as you shot.

No I said I'd lost 9 but it's thick.A lot of people would lose birds in this terrain.

Montana is not like Dak. Dak is flat.

The simple answer is dont hunt stuff you know you are incapable of recovering birds from.

God forbid people should follow state law and wear blaze orange.

Damn those law-abiding hunters

Curious what you would classify as “out hunt me”? Walk more than you, shoot better or some other metric? Just curious.

Just be simply more bas@ss than others, make great shots, have an awesome dog, not partake in grabass metric. Heck, I consider myself a decent hunter, but I'm not in the same league as Goose.

If you were, you would have let the first rooster go in your last video hunt (memorial), so you could triple with the big flush instead of merely ending with a double.

Lot of states don’t require blaze orange. Montana included… Bird hunting

That’s a lame excuse

Even if it wasn't required, I'd wear it. Quite honestly if someone showed up to hunt with me even if it wasn't required, they wouldn't be hunting with me very long.

Its a safety issue for this guy.

That would essentially end my hunting.Montana terrain is different than Dakota.

I'm glad Montana and a lot of other states don't require orange. I always wear it pheasant hunting regardless. That said the MN dnr regulation book is longer than Leviticus and just as dense. When I went on my prairie grouse trip I didn't wear any. It helped when this grandpa was creeping by in his truck, trying to poach my spot. He never did see me.

If you switch to pay hunting at a lodge or ritzy ranch, they have paths mowed every where. That makes for easier retrieves.

Good. Its a safety issue for me. I want to be seen and blaze orange greatly increases that visual.

 

[BrownDogsCan2]

No orange

Some states who require it are allowing bright pink now. You could make a fashion statement goose.

It isn't a law

I can't believe people pay those places.
