2023 Bird and Dog pics

[Muleyczy]

Unless you’re worried about one running off I wouldn’t worry about it. Both of these dogs were started on wild chukars at about 6-7 months of age. I use GPS collars on them but I can only think of one time when I needed it to find a semi lost dog. If they are running too big I just whistle them back in or tone them with the collar.

Good looking dogs. Are both from the same breeder?

Yes. The pup is out of my older male’s sister.

They both will come to a whistle, only occasionally requiring a little nudge from the collar. I am confident neither would run off. I should go for it.

Go for it. Hit me up if you have logistical questions.

What camera and lens did you get those pics with they are really good. My goal is to get more action pics like that next year and during test season this year

We had our best year chukar hunting… by far. Can’t wait for November.

Hard to beat the challenge of chasing white birds in the white snow with flat light!

That’s it until next year.

Limited opportunities to hunt this season, but ended on a high note! Super proud of my pup (5yo GWP)

This year has been a pretty piss pour year for the southern bird hunter. Haven't flushed a grouse all season and woodcock numbers were extremely low in my area, (and the areas i traveled to hunt). So we went and ran a field trial at least then the dog gets to get ahold of a bird. The puppy got to get ahold of a chucker and had a time running around with it for about an hour.

Great dog combo, that chessie looks like he means business

Just closed the season, in some ways it feels like September was eons ago but also like it flew by. Been one for the books, took our first ptarmigan and dusky in CA and then struck out on scaleys to end the season. As much as I’d hoped to get one it left me hungry to get back out and chase them. Chukar are still hands down my favorite, even when I trip and put a stick through my palm in pursuit.

Hannahatchee. Darker one is 8 and he's from Harriett x Fergus. Lighter one is 2 and she's from Nike x Jet.

I thought they looked like his dogs. And I knew he sent some dogs to Alaska.

That is awesome, did you pack in and camp for the ptarmigan?

I did, it felt more like a big game hunt than upland. After striking out the year before I took a scouting trip and found one right at 11k, it was an epic feeling to finally put eyes on one, almost better than taking one. The other thing that makes them feel like big game is the season is only a week and the limit is two, our deer season is more liberal than that!
