sdkidaho Posted July 19, 2005 Share Posted July 19, 2005 Saw my first Blue Grouse today. Had never seen one before and while I was at work headed to a remote tower site there was one on the road near the top of the mountain we were on. Got fairly close as he wasn't interested in flying off. Looking forward to hunting this fall!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tucker301 Posted July 19, 2005 Share Posted July 19, 2005 Have you had a chance to work the dog much? I think when the season gets cranking, you're going to forget all about not buying a new shotgun, because you're going to be having a ball with that well-trained birding machine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sdkidaho Posted July 19, 2005 Author Share Posted July 19, 2005 I haven't worked him at all, but he's at the trainers three days a week for the last month. He's got two more months of that and I can very much tell the difference in him already - he is "very" birdie now. I'll be going with him in a week or so, so that we can introduce him to gun fire. He's not afraid of loud noises so far, and he's heard me shooting my gun a couple hundred yards away (shotgun and pistol), but nothing up close yet.
