Brought my camera to the blind this year and got some great shots. Not my dog butone of my favorite pictures from there.

Thanks for sharing

Couple shots of Harley. Tried to get him to pose with the 'Elsie' but he took the bird and hid under the pickup. The other one is Harley working a bird. A little Mossberg bolt 410 on the job that day.

Be2man, is that an RBL?

You have the full trifecta going.....birds, bird dog and gun! Well done.

 

[be2man]

Thanks, yes an RBL, I have a ton of North Dakota pics, very scenic country

I see from the second post, probably ND . Must've typed at the same time.

Now he adds some woodcock photos as well! Great stuff. Thanks again. Can't get enough

Great pictures BE2man! I especially love this one. You managed to capture the exact moment where the man asks his dog. "you know, we would both get more birds if you would point for more than 3 seconds and then bust them up out of range". Who is that dashing individual?

Love the timberdoodle pics! Funny how they sometimes hang up in trees. I never had any bird but woodcock do that.

Just one of a cast of "Ne'er do Wells", not many can pull off that 'stache though

I've had it happen a couple of times too. That one just struck me as picture worthy. They're beautiful birds upon close examination.

I ran across this 30 year old picture, of my Springer "Shellcase"... Casey for short, at 3.5 months she put up and retrieved a limit of grouse with a bonus woodcock. Shellcase is obviously long gone, "Shellcase 2" was an English Cocker and "Shellcase 3" was another English Springer, from there I went to labs with a chocolate named Kodiak, and another chocolate named Kodiak 2, then had a blip with a Golden Retriever named Bailey, before I went back to labs and springers, including the current Springer Lexie;

Feeling nostalgic now... here is the first chocolate lab "Kodiak"... she was a good dog, but headstrong, she was great with me but if she didn’t sense a handler was "in charge" they were in for a frustrating day;

The original Shellcase musta been a hell of a dog eh. Pretty incredible what natural instinct and drive can accomplish.

Yep....one of my best dogs... she came from driven field stock, Canadian Grand champion "Sampson." She had a ton of drive, but could get "rangey", so she needed some handling, unlike my labs and current Springer... they self-range without a whistle from me... I have a whole bunch of very cool hunting stories with the original Shellcase.
