I run my dog in a field for training, and on occasion we come across birds. It's not like we are out searching out birds. And once the birds are nesting, we go out of our way to avoid the nest areas. If anything, my removing five coyotes from this area in the past few weeks had given the birds in the area a much better chance of survival.
Good work on the yotes.
South Dakota, North Dakota, Nebraska, Montana, Michigan, Kansas, Iowa, Illinois, Colorado would disagree with you. All around this time of year as well.
Nice pic to btw.
I don't live in any of those states,I live in Alberta, and there is no legislation against running my dog in agricultural fields at any time of year here. And the birds are not even paired off here yet, they are still in larger coveys.
Right now the birds are not breeding so stubblejumper has done nothing either illegal or unethical, I don't know what has you upset or what Alberta's hunting regulations have to do with your issue of his dog pointing birds outside of the breeding season. This has a possibility of turning into an ugly thread so why not let it drop.
