Charlie and Ron if you read this, this was the field we walked near the cemetery and I probably saw 20 birds come off this field today in a short period of time both hens and roosters. They held good for points when the dogs settled down and didn't fly wild at all. I think it was just the intensely cold weather that affected the birds when you guys were here. It was in the 50's today and they did well even in the dry conditions with no wind we had today. Jeff actually got out and hunted well today and even had a point from about 30 or 40 yards back that my setter messed up by trying to steal point or she just did not smell the bird and tried to push it I am not sure which but it bumped the bird anyway. :roll:
The little hunter in these pics are my pup out of my male Elhew and female Fiddler/Miller dogs. She is the only pup I have ever had that never gets car sick, rides quiet like a lady, already unloads on her own and attempts to load on her own, knows and responds to the "Come" command and is bird crazy so I thought I would throw her in the pics. She went along for the ride but stayed in the dog box while I ran the other 3 dogs. A few more months and she might be able to get out and run with the older dogs. She just doesn't have the lungs or legs to do it yet but she does have the drive.
