    Dog scenting where birds have been . . . how do I find where they are?

    New dog KC tends to loiter, needed a break so I just let her do that while she worked the end of this patch as long as she wanted to. It took awhile but she rooted a hen out.

    Late season birds tuffer?

    Saw it in a Bass Pro catalogue. I lump game cameras, scopes on xbows, in-line muzzle loaders, anything plastic stocked, right in with screw in chokes.

    Late season birds tuffer?

    Shooting modified/full. Copper coated. I’m convinced the sun’s angle combined with snow refraction divided by distance to the flush plus distance to the shot is throwing shots off. Don’t and won’t own a screw in choke gun. Gucci to say the least. Those things are the first step towards...

    Late season birds tuffer?

    Last week I went thru a slump and missed birds out right, but rocked several and knocked one down couldn’t find. Shooting 5’s and 4’s. Been shooting pretty good until then. These late season birds just plain tuffer? Better armor? Older? Sun was in my eyes? What say you?

    Slump busted

    Went to check her out in early September. think it was 87*. She got hot and was just not interested in hunting. And neither was I for any amount of money. But when gifted I took a chance and she’s been really solid of late. Bummer is I can’t hunt her with the Shady Lady. Opposite ends of...

    Slump busted

    Tried to get some decent pics of her but she wouldn’t stay still. Sit and stay seem like a foreign language to her. Perfect she is not but for a free dog she’s light out.

    Good work by the dogs, my shooting remains uninspiring

    Just busted out of a slump myself. Think I was getting cocky and letting them get out there a ways. Drop the hammer on em and do it now. All puns intended

    Slump busted

    5” fresh snow 10*. Missed last 5 birds I shot at. Went to the honey hole to break out. Saw lots of birds. Took the new dog KC. She was given to me after I went to check her out. Had $700 on her and she performed disastrously. Ole boy said I’ll just give her to you I need the kennel space...

    Hmm never considered the hat bill blocking sight picture making you pull head up. Makes sense.

    Good work by the dogs, my shooting remains uninspiring

    I’m always throwing my gun up to my shoulder and aiming at a weed a post or better yet any type of bird flying by. I do this always at the beginning of a hunt or if I’ve been walking a long time with no action. After awhile you start to drop your head and stare at the ground in front of you...
