rabbit hunting
This video brought back such great memories for me. Started hunting with Dad when about 10. He bred beagles, so we always had some great dogs. February starts the breeding season for rabbits normally so hunting season isn't far away here in Ontario. Start at about the 3 minute mark.... https://youtu...

Any memorable gundog experiences you'd like to share? Best moment: Beat my pro dog training friend at a shooting dog trial. :) Had to hide my smile. Bad moment: Didn't trust my dog. Called him off of a point at a trial as I couldn't see a bird to flush. Seconds later the bird crawled out from under ...
