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.

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.

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

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
@fidiusjwhoopie2 ай бұрын
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
