This will be a STUPID question but here goes anyway.
I gather from the posts here about shooting dogs that some of you are actually using dogs that will point pheasants? How in the world...........?
We've been only twice, a total of 6 days. Seen a ton of birds and shot plenty but the thing that has stood out so far is that the darn things just plain do not sit still.
The folks we hunted with used labs that were trained to work close in, which they sometimes managed to do, and we simply used them as part of a small drive through the fields.
But then the fields were all still standing and you almost never could have seen a dog on point if it went on one.
We're leaving on Sunday for Vivian, SD. Might be different this year. New place to hunt and I gather that the snow may have knocked a lot of the vegitation down which could make thing different.
All I can say is that if I lived where there was the kind of bir hunting you guys in the northern part of the country have I'd spend less time chasing deer............. You guys are blessed!
