16. ga hunter

welcome

welcome my grandmother is from downsville and sometimes hunt bear spring love that area

hunted near hammondsport today a great outing. bailey my cocker spaniel did a great job. we started our hunt at 730 am it was a chilling 28 degrees. worked the back side of the pond and she flushed a grouse hard in the first thicket, could not take a shot as i would have been shooting towards the neighbors house. worked around towards the buddy stand letting the young spaniel lead the way at the thicket below the buddy stand she flushed 2 more took a shot at the second one but missed. the first flushed on the far side and just caught a glimpse of it a second hunter would have been nice. watered the dog and headed across to the state land no birds in the old orchard but flushed another in the thick stuff near the old foundation shot and missed. worked towards the overgrown field and flushed one more no shot available. headed to urbana to try our luck but saw only one bow hunter who did not appreciate our presence in "his deer woods". i love how some people think state land should only be used for big game.closed camp up and hit the thicket filed by the old farm the dog worked well got real birdy near a red brush bubch but could not make her way through worked around and to the power line cut and back towwards the truck wehn we got to the red brush she had been real birdy on previous ly she bee lined to it and flushed one more grouse wich flew 20 yards broad side to me but i missed. i need to get some clay targets and practice my wing shooting.

she is an american got her this spring and trained her all summer she is doing really well for a breed that "can't hunt" or any breed for that matter flushed7 pheasants in 8 trips took her to stuben county this am and flushed 6 grouse in 3 hours she really seemed to enjoy the open grouse wood diving rightinto the heavy cover to flush. all at 8 months still needs work but a great start

all ways wear blaze soild vest for deer hat & upland vest for birds

ase certified auto tech did electrical construction for awhile

hi my name is ed new to the board. been hunting since i was old enough started on pheasant over labs now have my own cocker also hunt deer,turkey and grouse

had the cocker out to oak orchard today she flushed two one was a really nice chase/jumping flush. she also found 7 birds that had been tore up by fox have seen them out hunting for the pheasant earlier this year. the fox really seem to be putting a dent on the stocked birds this year at least at oak orchard anyway
