Guided hunt with new hunters gsp upland hunt at Coon Creek Hunt Club

Had a large group of new hunters out for a guided hunt.  All new hunters in five fields.  Each field has 9 birds released and my group saw all there birds and took 4 home. Not bad for a first hunt.  See the picture of all the birds the group took.  This puts Willow to 386 and Autumn to 294.

Went out and last minute mark decided to join me
  It was a four bird release just to keep the dogs moving.  Ended up taking 14 home
  Missed a few also.  A great day to hunt.  It was the first snow day of the year.  This putts Willow to 384 and autumn to 292.  Great day in the field.

Training a dog today. Gsp upland hunter

Got out with Uncle John to see if we could get his Gertie to start hunting.  She has been fearful of lots of things.  Decided to just get her all excited by putting some chuckers out and letting her flush them without shooting.  She got so birdy doing that we pushed her into the field a bit more to see if we could find some pheasants to shoot. She ended up pointing three but poor old uncle John couldn't hit a bird today. I brought autumn out at this point and she pointed two that I shot.  Puts her to 287. Willow then came out and pointed one real quick to put her to 377.  She was mad she was the last dog out, but she needed a soft hunt.  It was a great day to find some extra birds running around.

Guided hunt at Coon Creek with German short hair pointers! Gsp upland hunt!

Got out on a nice guide last week. Forgot to post it.  Ended up taking 10 birds on a great hunt.  The dogs worked well and showed us where the birds were.  A few missed in between and some great shots.  I still love watching the dogs work a field.  Willis is up to   376 And Autumn is at 285.  A great day in the field!
