I currently have a pen made for birds, got my hands on some launchers, and just finishing up 3 pigeon traps so I can get my hands on some live birds. We are scheduled to put him on some Pheasants this weekend! Can't wait. My first real hunting dog and I'm already wishing I didn't wait till now, he has taught me more already then I will probably ever have the chance to teach him. Crazy how much a dog can change you!

So it's been along time since ive posted, but as we all know it's almost that time! Gunnar as over achieved more then I could have ever expected for just turning 8 months. He is a machine when hunting and turns it off like a switch once told to. He retrieves great on land and in the water, he has great steadiness, hunts hard for upland (haven't been able to expose any live birds to point) but points everything in the yard, tacking deer like a pro (pretty easy tracks), very obedient....... so on and so on. My question is I know a lot of guys will not hunt their dog it's first season. Why? We have worked so hard to get to this point, but want to make sure I do the right thing. My sons first year to hunt as well so lots of memories to made for sure! So, would you or would you not hunt your dogs it's first season???

So I just re read what I wrote!!! And I'm not sure what happened! But I meant to write I'm NOT entirely on board with the September season!!!

Although, I'm entirely on board with the September gun season. Lots of fawns still with mom and guns before bow is really going to stir $h!+ up!

This just sae this on the DEC website! Big changes this year that should have been implemented along time ago!

That's absolutely incredible!! What a monster!!

Congrats guys!! Very impressive box on an unbelievable tough day of fishing! Couldn't have happened for a better group of guys AND Girl!!

Great news!!! Finally this state has made a good decision! IMO there shouldn't be an age at all, as long as they are accompanied by an adult, let them hunt. This day an age, even 12 years old they are already molded into what they want and are going to do. The early they can get out there and enjoy the outdoors with us the better!

Congrats Rick! Fish are big this year!

Agreed! If a closed cooling system, replace the risers and send it.

I was just searching for Monroe County earlier, still nothing posted.....

Very cool footage!

Yup that's exactly what was going on with us, can't wait to get back on try again!

Great job! We were there Saturday and struggled to say the least. Only managed to boat 4 Perch all day. Not exactly sure what in the hell we could have been doing wrong as we did have boats around us a few times that were hammering them...... a bit frustrating but it's part of the game I guess.

Great news!! That puts my oldest in the game if it all goes through!!

So true!

I know I asked about this a while back now, but just wanted to update since we are two weeks away from getting our Wirehaired Pointing Griffon!!! Can't remember the last time I was this excited for something! Here's a few pics from the last few weeks. A long drive but going to be worth it! Crazy how fast they grow.

Thats Awesome!! I can't wait for the day! My pup was born Jan 15th, so we are still 5 weeks and a 7 1/2 hour car ride away. Can't come soon enough.

Very sad day for sure!! Mike was indeed one of the nicest guys I've ever met, always smiling and encouraging! RIP Mr. Breeze!

Great info! We have fully committed on a Griff!! We are crazy excited as we wait for our pups to be born!

Beautiful bird!!
