My wife and I just went on our first dedicated sharp tail hunt with our 6.5y/o lab. Not too far from our place, 30 minutes west in some grassland/farmland in Saskatchewan. He Flushed 10 birds, we got 6. My wife had only ever hunted farm pheasants for upland, so this was her first wild hunt. 16,000 steps. Worth it.
Best episode this season so far
Thanks for watching!
So glad to see I’m not the only one to let my pup out to hunt then wonder how I’m going to explain to my kids I lost their dog first time out! Glad it all worked out. Beautiful area to hunt
Great, great show. Nothing better than a dog!
True that!
Thanks for the uploads!
I know how frustrating it can be when all your work goes out the window and the dog just decides it wants to do its own thing. On IA pheasant opener a decade ago, a friend's excitement of seeing how his young GSP will perform on its first wild bird hunt turned to heartbreak when it ran straight into the uncut corn field and never came back. Sometimes yard work just isn't the same as the wild fields. As they say, "It takes wild birds to make a bird dog." To put this to the test on my GSP pup, I've decided to only work on simple commands like come (by command and by whistle) and heel so that he knows I'm in charge and let the wild birds teach him to whoa and everything else. Three trips to ND in the early season did wonders that set him on the fastest development path that I have ever seen a dog in 20 years of hunting over Brittanies and GSPs. By the end of his first season, we hunted across three different states, bagged five different species of birds, and he's tracking, pointing, and retrieving to hand. Keep taking Daisy out to the fields and she'll come around.
Travis, keep up the training with Daisy, she has style and pace, look forward to seeing her next adventure.
A Real hunt with Daisy. Enjoying the outdoors. Some mishaps. It's ok. Just being outside with dogs 🐕 is the best for me too. 🙋♂️❤️😎☝️
Loved this episode.
Thanks for watching!
Wow, jalapeño grouse with a berry glaze….yum!
Wonderful advanture. Jealous as all get out! :)
Its amazing how many porcupines there are in western north dakota where trees are few. Im used to finding them in extreme northern mn hunting grouse but on the prairie is suprisimg to me. Also ive shot pheasants in a field with a nice bull moose 150yards away. That was strange as well. Working in the oilpatch right in williston nd/sydney mt was an upland hunters dream come true. Rarely took my days off to go home. I always played where i stayed.
I'll never forget my first dogs first point and retrieve. She did a great job for my brother in a wooded area while I was working my way around the outside. I didn't see any of it....lol.
She did her job though
A setter cross with a pointer is what we call a RIP wrap down in south Florida.
GOD loves y'all and have a Blessed day😇🥰🙏🏿🙏🏾🙏🏽🙏🏼🙏🏻🙏👼🏿👼🏾👼🏽👼🏼👼🏻👼
Pays to throw a hemostat in a game vest pocket. After years of chasing grouse & woodcock in the Northwoods of Wisconsin and Upper Michigan with three setters . . . I had to deal with "quilled" dog muzzles more than I want to remember. Daisy ran the best race I've ever seen a Poinsettia run! 😉
“Living off the land”? Haha. It was great to see the hunting footage but that meal required more technology and expense than any trips to the grocery store I take.
Priceless. It’s not the dog. I’ve been there so many time. What enthusiasm. Love it. She will be just fine. Lol.
A new bird dog is an amazing thing! My britt did the same thing. Let her out of the truck and she was gone. Straight up the biggest hill she could find! I bought a GPS collar that night!
Don't worry it's the English pointer in her rangey lol
What travel trailer is that?
Great episode. Trying not to be negative but want to understand the training methods as they must be different than those here in the South. We would not let a dog in training a) get so far out and would work on its range, b) run off completely either out of sight and/or out of collar range. Is there a training philosophy out there that promotes just turning them loose and letting do whatever the first few times? If so, why/what are the benefits to this style of training?
Was wondering why he didn’t shock her? Need more information please
So your dog is not collared conditions?
using a 16 gauge?
What breeder did you get Daisy from?
Travis got Daisy from a family friend in North Dakota.
Does Travis’ family friend sell them? Really love the way she looks and would really like to have a dog like that for my first dog as well
Fascinating episode… first off, I love your enthusiasm for your dog. However, do you use a whistle? Do you exercise any control over her at all? Super confused by the “just let her run” philosophy… if she was on point 599 yards away over a hill how would you know?
I would love to go out there hunt
You definitely should!
You didn’t hunt her with the older dogs
👏👏👍👍👌
Sorry gents, but Daisy was not started properly. From a youngster, she should have learned that what you do requires her to watch where you're going and not the other way around as we are seeing here. I hunt birds, not dogs. You have now allowed Daisy to experience exciting lures AWAY from you. You can't undo that. My pointer has 8 HOF dogs in her pedigree and she is a delightful gun dog that is completely steady (no breaking on the flush or shot) AND she retrieves to hand. This dated misunderstanding of pointing dog training as seen here is going to require you to "correct" Daisy to fix an issue YOU instilled/nurtured. Why do that to a dog? Yes, there are "critters" out there such as large cats, coyotes, skunks, porcupines, steep elevation drops, etc. Yup, you're lucky to have gotten Daisy back....this time. I can't wait to see you grouse hunting Daisy in the Michigan U.P.!
