AWS, your state dog, I believe. Absolutely coming out of her skin to hunt in the morning, but wasn't interested in the evening shoot. Preferred staying in the a/c. Female, of course.





Here she is holding up her right front, having stepped in some grass burrs. They are pure evil, as she has really soft pads. Getting her to wear doggie boots just wasn't worth the battle.

Fantastic pictures of your outing Mike!

If nothing bad don't happen, this thread will run the '17/'18 season with pictures of shared shooting experiences that will allow vicarious fun from dove, to grouse, the woodcock, to waterfowl, to quail and other small game, and wind up with next Spring's gobblers. I may even post a deer pic or two if I get lucky.

Repeating myself, but this is my favorite thread of the year...Geo

Mike,
How often does she get a perm? She sure has some curls. I don't notice any cockspurs, burrs, beggar lice, etc., in her coat. My dogs would be head to toe with them around here. It's a little too warm for them early dove season. I will give them buzz cuts for cool weather hunting. Sure cuts down on the embedded burrs, etc. Gil

In this pic, you can see them on her chest, ear, and on the bird. Have to do daily maintenance on her to keep the count down. I once spent three hours getting them out of her coat- dinner fork is best on her coat, longnose pliers to get them out from between her pads.

I'm not sure who was more overjoyed that dove season had finally arrived....Miss Bella the lab or her grey-bearded old owner.
DeHaan S2 28 gauge with 28" barrels converted a limit of doves into some fine poppers for the grill. One side of a dove breast, slice of jalapeno, slice of onion, slice of water chestnut and wrap with bacon....grill over hot coals and drizzle with thinned BBQ sauce. Mighty fine eating.
