Sometimes I run like an olympic sprinter after my dog, sometimes I'm just not into it, and I just let him go and then I see where the birds fly.

Yes, senior citizen (& nearly senior citizen) pheasant hunters are known to be incredibly fast when there's a chance to shoot a rooster. Just like lightning. 😆
 
I sent my buddy a video clip last season. He is a huge duck hunter and responds back "you're breathing kinda hard." I wanted to tell him, "Yeah well I'm not sitting in a blind all day cooking eggs and bacon waiting for a bird to fly over my head. Humpin' through sloughs and snow-covered chisel-plowed fields is a lot of work!"

Goose, I just had an idea and fleshing it out here in real time. You need to write a book, or I could ghost write it for you. Assorted chapters could be:

-How to find and hunt the best ranches in Montana

-What to do if you accidentally shoot a hen

-Famous people I've hunted with

-My life hunting and exploring the High Canadian

-Do's and Dont's when asking for permission

-Goose's world famous game recipes

-Big game hunters are Rubes (mostly)

-How to bag a gobbler in the western US

-Offseason in the ski boat

-My Cousin, the man the myth the legend

-You can't beat a good hunting dog: Why I love labs

-Gifts for farmers with good ground; PBR, sirloins and t-bones

-Tips to avoid mountain lions and grizzly bears while bird hunting

-The 28 is a great gun, but nothing hits like a 12ga hi-brass magnum

-Suburbans and the Gucci culture

-Don't pay to hunt

-These Video guys

-Trying to get my nephew a bird

-Losing birds, the lessons I've learned

-Don't hunt with an Ugly gun

I think you're off to a flying start, but I would be remiss if I didn't mention the ultimate importance of a chapter dedicated to the finer points of dumping mud in the field.

The older one replies back ,,,nah son let’s walk down and poke them all!
