Sorry Bobman, had a response written out and never hit reply, I appreciate the info you gave me! I will surely be trying it out over the weekend! Thanks!

I can very easily get some pigeons.

I’m from Eastern Pennsylvania Bobman.

Understood! Thanks for the information.

Another question for you. If she easily finds pigeons in brush that I hid, will she be able to smell a pheasant and make the connection or will she need additional training?

Often when she trails along with me on rabbit and pigeon hunts she begins to run the opposite direction when the shooting begins. I’ve never shot while she had a bird on point.

She’s always never like it. I have taken her along on hunts for barn pigeons that she was no part of I just took her along to get her in the outdoors.

She has been a partner on hunting trips and shooting range trips for the last year. She’s heard guns for a quite a long time. I can’t get her to even except a 22 at ease. She’s been around guns long before I entered this forums. I understand what you were asking though.

I’ve tried nearly everything and my dog will not accept the sound of gunfire! What else can I do??

. My Vizsla is very serious about finding the hidden pigeons. What’s the next training step?

Not sure where you are from but one thing I’ve done to get pigeons very easy is at local small animal auctions. They may sell anything from Pigeons to pheasants. The pigeons at the moment have a very low value so you should be able to get some dirt cheep.

I’m also a Pennsylvania hunter, what area of PA do you reside in. I’m from Lebanon.

That’s awesome! So you wouldn’t steer me away from making her a bird dog.

I owns a 2 year old female Vizsla. She’s an excellent loving dog. Other than being a little tired sometimes she’s a good outdoors dog. She is trained to find and retrieve deer antlers. Having the incredible nose that she does, I would love to put it to work on pheasants. She has a very high...

Thanks bobman. She’s never been around a pheasant before, should I be starting with a pheasant dumby and scent?
