Guided hunt at Coon Creek Hunt Club with gsp German shorthair pointers upland

Got out for an into guided hunt with a great father son team. Autumn went alone today, as Willow is out with two ripped up pads.  The temps were around 13 degrees today and there was a breeze, so it was cold but Autumn worked great. I think she pointed 9 or 10 birds on the six bird release and they took 6. Pretty good shooting for a couple of guys who don't get out often.  It was a great day in the field.  Puts Autumn up to 308.

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.

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!

Guided hunt at Coon Creek Hunt Club with two kids on their firsr hunt! 11/20/16

Got out on a great guided hunt today. These two great dads decided to get their kids involved in the great outdoors. Willow and Autumn worked hard today.  They did a great job pointing birds for two new hunters. The kids did a great job and seemed to learn a lot about upland hunting.  They each had many good shots and downed some birds. We took 12 birds today and even got a chucker. This puts Willow at 371 and Autumn up to 280. We only brought Autumn out for part of the hunt. The best part of the day was a double point of a hen at the edge of the creek.  The bird flew over, everyone shot, the bird dropped and both dogs launched into the creek to cross it to the bird. Autumn brought it back. It was awesome seeing them work today, and we finally had some weather that did not burn them up.  It stayed below freezing all morning, but that was the perfect hunting temp.  Thanks for a great hunt guys!
