Excellent!!

Not too often around these parts a guy can score a limit of Huns and roosters

Awesome!

My son with the four birds we got today. We missed one. Four times! Still laughing.


Young Maverick is turning into a pretty good hunter! Sorry, no dog photos today. Shame because he worked a lot harder than either of us!

Friend of a friend with some private access today in South Dakota. 13 man limit on wild birds. This will spoil me for when I hit public ground in Kansas next weekend.

Dogs saved the day more than once.

Wow!!

Another great day.

For sure!!

Only pic I took today. Milo with a pair of roosters in his nose. Trailed about 50 yards with multiple point and relocates before they finally flushed 10 yards in front of him. 25-30mph sustained winds is miserable hunting. But 32 birds for 13 hunters (11 actual walkers with 2 playing leap frog the trucks/blocking) in a 2 mile long slough with cat tails in the bottom made for an exciting few hours.

No doubt and it looks like great Dog work....congrats!!!!

Another good day....well done....

Wow! A heck of a day you had there. I bet the pheasant numbers are up in S.D. this year.

We went out Saturday and Sunday. Saturday six of us got 13 or 14 and decided we'd had enough fun, so we quit, had some refreshments and went home.

Sunday we had eight guys go out and we ended up with 22. Again we could have kept going but didn't feel the need. I took a few pictures:







My dog work was fantastic this weekend, super impressed with those two. Lots of excellent close up shots in the dry grass and cattails.

SD trip started out great....got a Buck in Minnesota on I90.

Well I didn't have that pleasure thankfully. Glad you are okay but bet the truck isn't. We got a few in Nebraska but slow start. Dogs did well on the ones we got after. Kansas will be interesting I hope.

Just got back from a trip. Chukar and huns are up. December and January should be fun.

Pheasants tomorrow.

Most of the dogs pictured are wearing shock collars.
My lab is a runner and I would like to slow her down. Is there a
reliable source of accurate information on how and where to use
the collar? Do you use it constantly when hunting?

My girl Remy and I got into some Gambel's Quail this weekend in Arizona.

There are a host of resources on the use of e-collars. I've used them for over 20 years with success and no one I know runs a dog in the field without one.

How you use the collar is to enforce a command you've given and which the dog knows and heard, and ignored. I use tone on my collars almost exclusively, rarely nick them, and almost never have to burn them. They know what the tone means.

Not sure what you mean by "constantly." I use two toots in rapid succession from my mouth, the same cadence as the two toots from the tone on the collar, both to mean "pay attention and come around." Come around means turn back toward me. Others do things differently I'm sure. Dogs and hunters are all different so use what works for you.

Oh no!!!!! In the new Tahoe? Man, I hate hear that.
