My Feed

Great morning on the prairie before the heat shut us down. Sadie is coming along nicely at 3 years old. She is out of recently elected HOF CH True Confidence and one of my Elhew bitches.

At 4 months old, our new pup pointed her first ruffed grouse and surprisingly I was able to connect on this mature drummer. CeCe is out of CH Miller's Blindsider x CH Nine To Five Nation. Fast forward to today, she has traveled to 8 states and handled 7 species of wild birds by 6 months of age. Exciting to see young dogs develop although she has plenty to get figured out.

There is just something special about the 28 ga. & these little birds.

Curious if the people on here have a preferred gauge?

PersonalIy I do 90% of my shooting with a 20, but have a 12 and 16 (heirloom) for certain applications.
Always like to hear preferences!

Thought I would share this super cool gift I received from my wife. An embosser for my books showing, From the Library of….

Please check out our pups on Gundog Central. We have some nice young Honky Tonk Attitude-Miller cross pups.

As we draw down on Christmas and the end of the year. I have many things to be thankful for. Early September I was afraid I would not be able to hunt birds this year. Questioning how I’d shoot a shot after nearly cutting my thumb off. I took this picture 2 months later to the day. Merry Christmas my friends.

It’s the final week of the Gun Dog Chat Gun Dog Book weekly book giveaway. Thank you to everyone who participated. Somehow I made it to the final week with ten books still remaining. I have three copies of “Bird Dogs and Field Trials” by Jack Harper and seven copies of “Home of Champions” by David Grubb. This final week, I’m giving them all away. There will be three winners this week who will receive both books with one lucky, randomly selected member receiving a very special book mark, in the form of a $100 gift card to Gun Dog Supply. Should make for a pretty nice Christmas present for yourself.

You can enter this contest at no cost, you simple have to create a post on Gun Dog Chat.

As a reward to anyone who previously posted during the past 12 weeks will have their chances of winning doubled!! Also, the four remaining “Home of Champion” books will go to randomly selected members who have posted at any point during this contest.

Congratulations @mellueck who won the week  #12  book, A Little Competition by Tom Word ( Signed ). Mel becomes the third multi week winner with just one more week to go.
