Pics: Dogs, grouse, Lake County, MN & Superior Natl. Forest
I do post on another forum. If you have seen these pictures, then please ignore. Have been getting some birds over the last few weeks.
Shot some over each dog. Grady, the newest dog got his first bird, point, retrieve, etc. My hunting partner was up & only got one bird
last weekend. 3" of fresh sloppy wet snow the night before w hunted slowed things down quite a bit & still lots of leaves here.
pics to follow:
Hunt partner, Chase, & wing tipped bird Chase ran down. This bird flushed off a trail wild. Chase followed him down where he went. After a couple minutes the beeper went off for one beep & the bird almost took out the hunter on the trail. He wounded him going away.
Grady got his first bird, point, retrieve etc. Grady was a rescue dog that came to us just this past AUGUST. He has all the tools and was well taken care of by his previous owners. He is in great shape and just needed a chance to learn his "work".
Grady with his first retrieve:
snow makes for miserable timber walking:

Victor & I got out on Oct. 9th for a nice hunt:

time to pack it in:

Victor is a great looking dog! Glad to hear he is getting to do what he was born to do.

Great report.
So the Ruff wounded your buddy on its way out of town?
Great looking French britts, They do take to Ruff hunting pretty well don't they. I believe some of the most naturals.

The best part of training is seeing the light come on in your little prot'eg'e.

Man! that looks like a really cool area. Beautiful pictures, and some good looking dogs too.
A dog is only as good as his trainer.
