The Adventures of Bo and Cole

[OO2]

Will be in Ohio around 11 Nov if anyone is interested in giving wild bird hunting a try. May be able to get some shots on woodcock and pheasant.

would love to get some people introduced and interested in wild bird hunting as an alternative to “hunting” put and take birds.

Introducing new folks is the only way to keep wild birds on the landscape

Ran the dogs this morning and yesterday.

Confirmed Ellie is gun broke and then let the two dogs run together. All that is left for now is to work on her collar recall

Sounds like you’ve got a good handle on them…. Good luck, Cole!

Thanks J!

Trying to get there with Ellie. Will probably have some growing pains with recall. Recalls great with collar in yard. Need to find a safe place where we can “lose” each other. If she’s anything like Bo all will be good after she loses me and find me again

Used too love the hide and seek phase and watch their reactions

If anyone has access to a copy of the Ohio Pheasant Range Revisited published by the ODNR 1 January 1987 I’d love to read it sometime. Thank you

Does anyone have any experience with spreader loads? Now that the SxS is working good id like to be able to take it when weather permits.

I went to shoot sporting clays today and was able to break clays with it. But was thinking spreader loads may help full / x-tra full chokes perform more like IC & M

Ellie is almost getting to be the size of her big brother. 2 weeks and she will try her hand on wild birds

Listening to the Hunting Dog Podcast this morning and thought I’d share this nugget. Probably the biggest takeaway I had from last year

“The best thing you can do when you get your first dog is to take it hunting and be quiet…the birds teach them everything they need to know…kinda like kids you gotta let them fumble through a few things.”

Moved 4 pheasants, 2 of them being roosters. Also moved 3 woodcock, 1 is riding home with me.

The pyke Kiowa are no match for ohios thorns. Talk about shredded in 3 hours
