2023 - 2024. Season

[5 stand]

Tonight we went to the gun club to shoot and visit with our usual crew... Moe always brings in a Target or four that he finds on the trap range and I groom it tell him he's a good boy and sometimes they're just pieces...
Tonight he brought at least eight and they were all whole poor boy is having withdrawals he needs a job...
These dogs sure are special creatures...

[PorkChop]

Do you just make the trip once a year or do you come up a few times?

[5 stand]

We will be back around the 29th of october-ish... And then again around Thanksgiving-ish... All based on weather...

[5 stand]

Pork chop, I guess I should clarify we will be hunting pheasants East River, Prairie Grouse again next year in September... I drew a Duck license in South Dakota so if I find some easy Ducks while pheasant scouting I have two 5-day periods statewide...

[5 stand]

After chasing Moe and Prairie Grouse for 6 days I was pretty spent, but I don't want to let the old man in...
Ask yourself how old you would be if you didn't know the day you were born...

Thanks for posting that. I'm not enough of a music guy to have heard it before, but it's pretty poignant at my stage of life. Had the examples of one set of grandparents who stayed physically active and remained so until passing and the other who didn't and, subsequently, couldn't, and have tried to follow the former's lead. Long ran and now walk (at behest of my knees) a few miles most every day and do the old fashioned calisthenics I think of as my "ups" every other. That, and things like habitually taking stairs, instead of elevators and avoiding 4-wheeling whenever possible. Has worked out well to date.

Still, after I pressure-washed our house yesterday, I bent to disconnect the hose and damned if "that old man" didn't stab me in the small of my back.

Good stuff 5 Stand, Thanks!

[DComeaux]

Don't let the old man in.... I played it a few times..... Thought provoking.

great picture 5 stand , little off topic but i was looking on dhc,(not a member)and seen a picture of your dog called teal ,was just wondering if trigger i one of her offspring she sure is a good looking lab,im going to arkansas tuesday to check on another dog after losing my dayzeemay and the teal dog reminded me of the dog im looking at good luck hunting keep the pictures coming i really enjoy them

Hope this isn't a sore subject... Did you end up getting the dog in Arkansas?

Sorry to hear about you losing Dayzeemay I'm kind of like Rick, those threads cut pretty deep so I usually just avoid them...

I have read something similar about your grandparents but had forgot...

I think the old man can slip in on you if you're not careful, I want to chase Moe till the day he retires, and the next one after him... But that could be a stretch?

Penny I’ve never purchased a dog that was anything other than a puppy. Is this your first experience purchasing a started/finished dog?

I’ll be interested to see how well y’all gel as a duo. With a dog that just turned 1 yesterday, I’m leaning toward getting an older dog next time!

Trigger and I Dove hunted this afternoon/evening they didn't cooperate as well as I'd hoped, but I guarantee you trigger had a good time... She needed this...

13 Doves...

[Pennydog1]

thats not bad at all for a day of fun with your pal,its the time you spend together that makes it special

[5 stand]

Penn it wasn't a bad day at all, it's about me feeling sorry for myself... By the time I made it home and cleaned the birds it was 8:15 p.m. in the evening... I like being done early... I would have paid Vinny Quack's fee gladly...

Trigger and I did have a special evening together...
We haven't had a rain in a while and the pollen dust whatever it was, was terrible... She made a couple retrieves that I dropped in the heavy weeds that I was surprised she found... I wouldn't trade her...

[PorkChop]

She would gladly take your money!!

[5 stand]

[Rick]

She would gladly take your money!!

Especially for doves thal'll shed their feathers over a hard look. Well, assuming Vinny can muster a hard look.

[5 stand]

I haven't had a lot of time to edit the videos, but my GoPro had run out of battery and shut off... Moe pointed this bird and as I was walking up I turned on the camera to see if I would get anything, and ended up with this 30 seconds... No editing necessary...

[5 stand]

If you watch it in 1080p the quality is decent...

[Rick]

Good on Moe, and GoPro appears to have come a long way from when it was too fish-eyed to watch.
