DOGS

I used to get wings (usually whatever bird I wanted to hunt for)
& nail them to a short 2x4
& show it to them, get them to play, give them the sent
& then hide them
they pick it up pretty damn quick

Please make sure to bring water for your dog on the hunts too...
They are hard running/working fouls, running their asses off
& get thirsty as all get out, they will go all-day if you let them
& they will suffer that night if not hydrated right...
Just don't have them drink that stagnant water on the ground,
now if it's fresh &/or flowing water, it's OK...

my 1st pheasant club, at Bethel Island way back when,
(a lot of wild Chinese Pheasant or their pen-raised birds)
they'd give me a free bird to train the puppy on
show it to the dog, get it (dog/pup) interested 1st
hold it by the feet spin it, swing it in big circles fast with your arm
while having someone distract the dog/pup
go release it in some corn checks (corn trimmings or a bush),
It'd sit forever, (you or the dog could walk right up on it)
the dog would actually track it & pounce (flush it)
or 'sort of point'
Lab/Retriever, don't really point they just 'get birdy'
tail up &/or going in circles, head down, ears up & or back,
sprung & ready to pounce, "get it/flush it"
Good Boy !!

A few on my labs would run them down, if they didn't fly
dogs are fast critters, you'd be surprised how fast
(wild birds are a lot tougher though)
some hens (of many bird species) will do that a lot,
I'd let them go, call the dog off (they need to learn that 1st command)

if they were a rooster
when they bring them back all proud, then I'd throw them up in the air
they'd usually fly off & I'd blast them
(some didn't, or wouldn't fly off, too traumatized, be part of my limit)
if they did fly off, the dog would retrieve them again, all happy
Good dog !!!

Should work with pheasant. Tuck a chicken's head under its wing and then spin it in circles while holding it that way. It puts it to sleep until you (or a dog) push it over and uncover it's head.

I've been calling her Cubby Bear, which will morph into Cubby, then Cub. Partly because she looks like a Bear, partly because when frightened, she climbs my leg like a Bear Cub.

 

[Skytrooper]

I like it !

Bear cub?

Had a great walk with Thor this morning. He had one good point on a hen. The other birds were running a head of us. Weather is too nice for the birds to hold.

Some dogs REALLY like jumping in the water!

 

[sam dupont]

She has met this big guy a couple times and recognized him. I think she likes the dog park

 

[Charles Cook]

My buddy wanted to know if I had my DS80 and Mia always need to be in the picture. I am not complaining lol.

 

[Scott Engelhardt]

I got me a DS80. This is probably one of four I have owned. Great bikes.

That is a cute video of Cubby. She really likes that big boy, you can see it in her behavior. I loved it that see came back with a stick !
My wife knitted Lilly a jacket. It is more to keep the Daryl’s from shooting her, being that it is deer season.

Boomer got his own too. My wife has the material to make his, but I found this for 12 bucks at Walmart
