New guy introduction

Post by TurkeyDog » Tue Feb 13, 2018 8:29 pm

Hi. My name is Paul and I am new on the GDF. I'm 38 years old, active duty Army, married with three kids. I've been hunting since I was 12. I've fairly new to waterfowl, only about ten years since I started. My passions are turkey hunting and ducks. I have an 11 week old Boykin I hope to train for fall turkey and duck hunting. I joined the forum to get advice from experienced hunters. I have a lab mix that I trained to blood trail deer, but that's the limit of my expertise. My pup is coming along well with sit, stay, here, down, and place. He's sitting and coming to the whistle. That's me and the reasons I joined. Hope to learn from you guys.

Interesting. When your Boykin grows up, post pictures of him post-Turkey hunt with game. Or even right now. And if you've got upland birds where you are, don't overlook broadening your hunting experience now that you've got the dog.

We all appreciate military guys around here. Very much.

Here you go. Picture of him now. I'm sure it'll be a while before post turkey pics can be posted.

Hey man, I just saw your post about being new to the forum. I’m new as well and active duty Coast Guard. I have a Boykin that just turned 5 months. Like you I plan to duck hunt with my boy as well. Anyhow, good luck.
