I hunt them quite a bit. They are my favorite game bird. I have an American Water Spaniel and she does well with these birds. In the hip high willows I seldom see her as she flushes the birds. She is very good about staying within 15 yards of the gunner. I have hunted them over setters once and it was a blast. Winter hunting is real tough on dogs so I go without them when the snow gets deeper.pak
