Guided hunt after the snow melt and 2" of rain german shorthair pointers

Had a really hard hunt on a swamp of a day. A six
Bird release.  Took two home, but saw 9.  It was really rough with birds running and deep water.
The dogs had fun though.  This puts Willow to 250 and Autumn to 173.   A good day in the field.  Sorry no picture today!

Did a guided hunt on the 26th.  It was a large hunt with three guides.  The group I went out with got 16 birds with a few misses.  It was a great group to be out with and we had snow cover which really made the birds hold tight.  The dogs had great points and each dog was in on at least 10 of the points. I hunted them alone for a good part of the hunt and then pulled them both out at the end.  It was the best hunt so far this year! This puts Willow to 248 and Autumn to 171.

Upland pheasant hunt with uncle John german shorthair pointers at coon creek

Got the dogs out on a 6 bird release with uncle John two weeks ago.  We pulled 8 birds but only took 4.  It was a hard hunt which made it a lot of fun.  The dogs worked great!  This puts Willow up to 238 and Autumn to 161.  Autumn was really on the birds today!

Guided hunt Coon Creek Hunt Club German Shorthair Pointers

Got out for another guided hunt on the 8th. Ended up doing a double guide with another guide at the club.  We worked two fields together for the 16 birds they released.  Ended up taking 13 birds.  A few misses.  The birds were running again with the temps in the mid 50s and the sun shining.  I would guess Willow and Autumn were both in on about 5 of the birds each, some were even double points.  The other guides dog was on at least half the birds as well.  It was nice to work the dogs with another good dog.  It was also nice to be out guiding for a good group of guys, good conversation, good dogs, and birds, what could be better!  This Puts Willow at 237 and Autumn at 158.
