Season's End

BradU20 · Jan 1, 2009

The dogs and I finished the upland season the past two days chasing roosters down state. Due to an intense "family orientated" December, my grouse season has been over for quite some time. Both dogs will turn three years old in the next few months. They improved leaps and bounds over last season. It was really great to see things start to come together.

I am starting to get into chasing pheasants down here. I've been exploring a lot of state land and even secured one private spot. I ended the season on public land and saw enough birds to make me excited for next season. Went home empty handed today, but knocked down this guy yesterday.

Best part about it all.......tired dogs.

Brad, you're obviously working your dogs waaaay too hard!:lol:

Any pheasant bagged on Michigan public land is a true trophy--congrats!

Good job Brad. I really like how Ivy has developed. She looks really confident and mature in the top picture.

Good stuff Brad! The dogs are looking good. Congrats on the phez, especially on public land! Give the dogs a scratch behind the ear from Caroline and I.

Brad,

Congrats, on the bird and the fact that you were able to get out, and do some hunting.

I was going to go yesterday, but things didn't turn out the way I planned.

Red Setter....or Irish Red Setter or Irish Setter

Whatever technical name you want to call her she is a field bred Irish Setter.
She is registered as an Irish Setter with FDSB. There is a group called the National Red Setter Field Trial Club that promotes a breed standard based on performance and not so much appearance. Their goal is to breed dogs that resemble the original parent stock from Ireland.

Nice job, I must agree with this too! Sometimes this is the best thing to come out of a day outside.
