Hunting Season 2023 2024

Here are a few highlights from this year’s hunting season. In addition to seeing my dog Andi again (check out last year’s video if you haven’t done so), I’ve added a very young setter, Goose, who found more wild birds as a 9 and 10 month old dog than nearly any dog I’ve ever owned. Watch Goose transform from a dog with no wild bird hunting experience to one who is beginning to learn how they’re to be handled!

oh my [Applause] goodness ah shoot 7 and a half month old pup is is when it gets [Music] [Music] fine here are a few clips from some of my hunts this year the first half is just of my adult female Andy and the last half includes Andy and a very young dog of mine a set male I call Goose please stay to the end because you can watch Goose transform from a dog with no wildbird experience the one

season Birds Birds these birds are no more than 50 yard from where I originally flushed them I am much more interested in dogs having opportunities to point Birds than I am bringing dead birds home or

they went there they went come on dead bird there it is is Dad come on no dad there it is come on get him girl all right come here good girl come here sweetie there you go good girl good girl GIF oh my goodness good girl I realize that the pointing style of any dog will vary based on when and where and maybe how the dog comes in contact with the scent of game but Andy runs the gamut from looking awesome the flagging you can good job Andy there they went 72 ft there she is oh boy she’s got these dead [Applause] rights fudge Andy’s around here somewhere I don’t see her supposedly I’m within 20 ft of her there she is if the wind isn’t blowing I can actually hear my collar’s tone button so I’m now using it as a close proximity deeper I need an open choke maybe I got lucky come on dead bird

come here Andy come here good girl hold hold good girl give [ __ ] bird all right good girl way to go dummy Andy close in here Andy get on here close come on Hunt close through training when I say hunt close Andy knows there’s a high probability of a bird being in the area fudge everybody has to decide how much they’re going to allow young dogs to get away with during their first season but I’m usually going to air on the side of keeping things fun as long as it doesn’t appear that my pointer is becoming a flusher you got your snoot full huh goose there she [Applause] is I really want to kill this bird bad get him get him and I don’t think I did way to go Goose way to go buddy 7 and a half month old pup this is when it gets fun judge I’m calling that a back oh fudge way to go guys way to go bird dogs what are you doing I don’t know why Andy left this point but because she did I would normally pass up this opportunity to shoot two three 4 we got a conservation officer checking my car and I have a dog on point which I’m not going to which I’m not going to shoot I’m I’m not sure I apologize no all right we’ll clear out of here sir okay good good hey good talking to you guys absolutely you too all righty thank you nothing like a CV of birds to excite a young dog before the season I worked Goose lightly on pigeons and LA launchers both pointing and backing but I stopped as soon as it looked like he was starting to understand because I knew that wild birds would be much better teacher and the season was just a month or two away oh this is pretty I was going to say the little one may want I missed that one I was going to say the little one may want to go the young one may want to go when I go good job guys oh there they go there they go shoot went in the woods could get him in for a back but I want to go ahead and hopefully kill this bird how’s that possible I’m going see if I can’t get goose in for a back goose this not only gets goose in on the action but there’s the safety aspect of it too when you know where all your dogs are I think the uh little ditch there helped let’s go come on get it Andy get it let’s go he’s here let’s go thing dude I don’t know if you know what you’re doing but I’m having fun n do you know what you’re doing oh thank you thank you good job Goose good job buddy Goose come here fetch him up Goose come here pal Goose fet
