re: Paging Wick: Making first wild pheasant hunt-DAY 1 FINISHED

Get a 6qt Tupperware from Walmart and put a bottle of peroxide, a box of baking soda, and a small bottle of dawn.
If dog gets sprayed dump the whole bottle of peroxide, whole box of baking soda, and several squirts of dish soap into the empty Tupperware. Rub the paste into the dog asap. Let sit for 10 mins then rinse it off or get him into some water.
My DD got sprayed about 2 months ago and that combo knocked out 95% of the smell instantly.

Now all collars have to be replaced immediately but that’s easy.

They are pointers, but they are young pointers only having worked pen raised…..I’m seeing a lot of bumped birds trying to get to close which is why I have a longer choke plan

If you shoot birds the dog bumps, you are teaching the dog that it’s OK to bump birds. Then you will never have a dog that holds its points. Rule of thumb is to never shoot bumped birds over a young dog. Once dog is older and steady on points, it’s OK to shoot a bumped bird if the dog makes an occasional mistake.

Have fun post some pics when you get back

I took some “good” pics with my phone on the two trips I went on, but wick’s camera was a different level, if you’re into that sort of thing. (Wick took my sig pic on a duck hunt in SoDak)

If you have a good camera or are with someone who does make sure it makes the trip. As much as I enjoyed the hunts, playing around with the camera, taking pictures of the hunts, random wildlife, or driving around and pulling over 10x to get a really good sunset sticks out equally as much. Kind of like that old Jamey Johnson song, all the photoshop in the world can’t do it justice as what it looked like in real life, but that picture can jog back the memory.

My shoulder hurts just looking at that box of shells haha

I’d like to get another trip in

Field from today

That looks like a great day. Enjoy.
I was in on a great Canada hunt yesterday, 6 man limit of greater canadas in 90 minutes in a wheat field. They make a thud when they hit, you don't want one landing w you ??
