A harvest every month or bust

[prov1]

Ok let's stay busy hunting or fishing for 12 months. Jan. a little practice on some coots, so fun and my buddy's falcon loves them. Feb some javelin shooting and some buggin. What's up for march? more bugs and hopefully some big Tom's at the end of the month

Nice! How do you recover the coots if shot on the water?

 

[Gspman]

Atleast 1 a month? Sounds great. I don't think the wife will sign off on that one. :'( SHe is a hunter but I think she likes the spring slow down

That's awesome that your friends falcon eats coots. I wish they taste like chicken.

I have a kick a butt Lab named Rev that I taught to recover the birds and my arrows, he is 9 years old now and has retrieved hundreds of birds. You couldn't do it without the dog.

I"m looking to teach my 2 yr old lab to retrieve birds, did you do it yourself or through a trainer? If you did it, have any tips?

 

[prov1]

Ya I did it my self, a lot of days at the park with decoys and wood arrows then started using real birds and carbon arrows when he quit chewing up the wood ones,my buddy would get me the trash birds, he was ok for the first 2 years then he got great , he wont lose a bird unless it fly's off and he dives up to 3 or 4 feet deep to retrieve. Going to be a sad day when he's gone.

Yeah, that's awesome. I've started with retrieve and most basic commands, I'll have to step up with some bird scent and bumpers ,etc. Beautiful lab.

Destroyed the bugs the last two weeks of the season took a 6 1/2lb. and a 7 1/2lb. with 9 keepers the last night of the season, my buddy Robert and I never saw another hooper the last month, wide open for us. Been out scouting last couple months for Gobblers, blinds have been set , cameras out lots of pics. cant wait for Saturday. Kingwouldbe my dad and myself are going to hit it hard, wish us luck. By the way my dad is 80 and still getting it done with a bow.
