On my way home from work last night I saw a few roosters on the side of the road picking up gravel and noticed the corn is changing colors, and that can only mean one thing: Pheasant Season is just around the corner! This year we are heading back out to South Dakota to the same place we went last year. Should be awesome: last year was a slow year and we still nailed them pretty hard. This year should be even better...
I started working with Jake, my German Shorthaired Pointer last night with the training dummy and some feathers from some of the birds we got last year. He seems to have retained pretty much everything from last season... Those dogs are so ridiculously smart... Still working on the recall though: if he picks up a scent, sometimes he is GONE, and no amount of shouting seems to break his concentration... Not cool.
Anyway, I have been shooting clays all summer so the gun is ready to rock and roll. October 16th cannot come soon enough...
