Great job Maverick! Dogs don’t care if they’re wild or not. It’s a great way for them to get a handle on what hunting is all about. It’s the rush of the flush!
That's what I was thinking. We'd been out once for quail and once for chukar, but in dry, windy conditions that made for difficult hunting. No birds taken only a couple of quail flushed. I thought I'd make sure that he got on some birds this time - it was a fun & productive hunt. The dog really seemed to be understanding what we were doing after the first few birds, and thoroughly enjoyed himself.
He was one worn out pup and napped all the way home.
Oh - pheasant dinner that evening was great too!
