Pheasant Hunting With My Dog For The First Time!

[@theuplandsasquatch]

Dogs are the main reason I got into upland hunting. Young dogs are certainly a treat to watch. Nice work!

[@bradbradshaw-i4n]

he did great for his first time out. you have a good hunting companion for the next 10 years.

[@HokeOutdoors]

Thanks Brad! Appreciate you watching!

[@1776cootsflybynight]

Its kinda crazy how the first hunt the dog wont know who shot or where the bird dropped but once they figure out what the game is its like they are magicians.

[@HokeOutdoors]

Totally agree! They figure it out quick and it's so satisfying to watch!

[@BernieTheGolden]

@@HokeOutdoorsit’s so cool isn’t it

[@harryharpicssonsltd.3663]

Nice one guys. I remember when my dog retrieved her first woodpigeon, the elation I felt....it was brilliant.

[@HokeOutdoors]

Much appreciated! Totally agree about that feeling of elation, watching him flush and retrieve those pheasants was one of the highlights of the season for me!

[@slyflyby]

Another good one with Leroy showing all that talent he was born with on his very first upland hunt. Liked how Leroy finished the hunt,not down by the truck with you,but there in the action retrieving down phez!

[@HokeOutdoors]

Thanks Don! It was very cool to see those hunting instincts come out in him!

[@ObikHunting]

Wow.. Great hunt🎉🎉

[@cwiller]

Loved hearing the cranes at the beginning.

[@HokeOutdoors]

They were migrating big time that day!

[@thomasburns4034]

Impressive how you find awesome hunting land in states you don’t live in . Nice video, i enjoyed the upland hunt just as much as I enjoy your waterfowl hunts .

[@HokeOutdoors]

Much appreciated! I wish I could say that there's some special trick that I know but it's all just time spent in the field and miles on the truck!

[@jcwoutdoors]

Atta boy, Leroy!! Great find on that one you dumped in the middle of those cattails. Can't wait for fall!

[@HokeOutdoors]

These cool mornings the last couple days have me itching for it!! How are things looking down that way??

[@jcwoutdoors]

@@HokeOutdoors Really good. Lots of spring rain provided the pheasants and the ducks plenty of safe places to nest.

[@bobgiles2971]

Awesome dog is working great definitely miss upland hunting

[@HokeOutdoors]

Thanks Bob! It's addicting for sure!

[@elliehoke9580]

Go leroy! the cats miss him back home

[@patchitwood7428]

Love hearing those sandhill cranes in the background.

[@HokeOutdoors]

It was a sight to behold that day! Big flocks of them migrating over all day!

[@virgilflores8754]

I don’t know where you had your camera placed but I felt like I was actually there. Great camera work and editing! I dove hunt in south Texas (Rio Grande Valley) but I have always wanted to pheasant hunt. Looks like fun.

[@HokeOutdoors]

Thanks brother! I was using GoPro on a head strap so it’s a first person view. Hope you can get out to pheasant hunt at some point soon!

Much appreciated!

[@BigBaitsBigFish]

Good boy!!!!!!!!! Leroy!!!! Good dog !!!! He’s gona be hooked now man once you dial him in that was amazing for his first time good job

[@michaelblack5912]

Haha. Same thing happened to us last year in ND. Second day in, 8” of snow. We did the same thing after two days of scouting and nothing. We were up there late October

[@HokeOutdoors]

That was the same time we up there as well! How did the upland hunting turn out for y'all??

[@michaelblack5912]

@@HokeOutdoors we didn’t come prepared for upland at all. We tried one day on some public land. Found a few birds. My dog was pretty cut up by the reeds. Need to get her a vest and come prepared next time. Great video.

[@virginiaswampboys199]

Real nice. Good boy.

[@HokeOutdoors]

Thanks much!!

[@BenRoraff2679]

nice job leroy on finding all those roosters good luck for duck and goose hunting this year hope leroy can get them out of the water or on land you can take him on the early teal and goose hunting in september 1rst

[@HokeOutdoors]

Thanks Ben! Hoping to get him on doves, teal, and maybe even some geese in September!

Leroy!

[@javisgarage7283]

I’m going to be getting into upland hunting/bird and planning on buying a dog to train as well either a lab or a shorthair pointer can’t decide though

[@HokeOutdoors]

It's a very enjoyable pursuit! I'd personally recommend a lab but I'm obviously a little biased

[@MLef111]

Awesome

[@GoofyGooberBS]

What state you hunting in

[@HokeOutdoors]

ND for this hunt

[@SultanAmir68]

Are you using the apex s3 steel? and how much to get a duck dog trained.

[@HokeOutdoors]

No I was shooting #5 lead on this hunt! Good dog trainers typically run around 1K per month

[@SultanAmir68]

@@HokeOutdoors thanks

[@nasserkuzbari2205]

Great video. I love hunting when it is snowing. The dog is having a lot of fun...Are you shooting steel or lead in ND?

[@HokeOutdoors]

Thanks Nasser! I was shooting lead for the upland birds, so many less cripples than if I was using steel

[@jordanspencer33]

Out of curiosity, when you guys say partridge, are you talking about ruffed grouse or actual partridge? I'm from Maine, and we have always called grouse partridge for some reason. I always thought that was just a Maine thing.

[@HokeOutdoors]

There are some ruffed grouse in ND but I was talking about Hungarian partridge!

[@jordanspencer33]

@@HokeOutdoors I figured you must not have been talking about grouse haha. Maine can be strange that way

[@DerrekWhite84]

We call ruffed grouse "partridge" in northern Wisconsin too, haha.

[@jordanspencer33]

@@DerrekWhite84 well there. Mainer's aren't the only weird ones haha

[@1011-n3t]

Your state allows upland hunting without orange?

[@1776cootsflybynight]

It's optional in both North and South dakota

[@HokeOutdoors]

What he said ^^. I always wear orange when upland hunting, what other people chose to do is up to them.

[@fidiusjwhoopie]

not the best idea to hunt an inexperienced dog in standing corn, but its your dog

[@HokeOutdoors]

I'm interested to know why not?? I didn't think he'd help much with flushing in that corn but figured we'd need him to run down any cripples

[@fidiusjwhoopie]

Because it is such a breeding ground for bad habits, like ignoring YOU, because he can ckearly see pheasants running down the rows ,why subject them to overstimulation which causes unwanted behaviors? That you will have to try and get rid of later, running way ahead ,flushing birds out of range etc..... I dont let my dogs go in standing corn period

[@3HOutdoorsGaming]

@@fidiusjwhoopie man just let him hunt he is having a blast

[@BernieTheGolden]

@@HokeOutdoorsexactly man, don’t listen to them haters, I hunt with my grandpa but we are trying to train a dog we have to fetch waterfowl. I love your channel so just keep going dude

[@sun99149]

how come I heard sandhill crane's call

[@HokeOutdoors]

They were migrating over all day because of the snow storm

[@Wildlabs]

Why not train your dog yourself. It's way more rewarding

[@HokeOutdoors]

I did a lot of training myself with Leroy. I mainly sent him to the trainer for force fetch because I wasn't comfortable doing it myself. I'm very glad I did, they completed that along with a lot of blind work way quicker than I could've

Great.i'am jelous of you.
