Birddogsunleashed

Finn is doing as good as his owner. He's only going to be as good or bad as me. Time is of the essence with a young dog, Ira been said that pups learn more and faster in the first six months of life. I don't know this to be true, I got Finn as six months old. With a lean grouse year I worked him a lot on woodcock which are great for young dogs. Contacts with wild birds makes a bird dog. Sometimes you have to receed from the old habits and think outside the box.
Finn has done well on pheasants and the few partridge or Ruffed Grouse we've encountered. But it's up to me to move beyond my old haunts to find more birds so he can be all he can be.
December 1st starts the late grouse season here in Michigan. I'll be out chasing Ruffs with Finn and still in training mode since he's not two yet, we both can learn something.. good luck, good hunting

It's that time of year to get your gear and guns out ,check it over. Your dog should already be in shape and ready for the fall hunting season...
Enjoy your Birddogsunleashed.

It's time for those little Russett fellows to return to their northern regions. In the coming weeks we should see some moderate returns of woodcock.. I hope mother nature is kind so they can have a productive brooding season...
