Since there is a pinned thread for bucks and bulls, lets start a 2014 bird hunting picture/video thread.

1st bird of the season. Been so busy, missed the opener, but got out for a while yesterday.
Great pics of the dove hunts, guys. Saw a couple doves here on the west side while driving to my grouse spot. They were on private land of course.
Lets see more grouse pics!

First couple of grouse with the 20ga I picked up late last year. I was out scouting for deer so I didn't have my dog with me. She was pretty excited  about them when I got home though!

Got out sunday with the dog and after some early morning spazziness, he calmed down and starting working.  He put up 6 birds (4 hens and 2 roosters).  One rooster was when he was being a spaz so i didn't even shoot and we got the second rooster.  He also put up a covey of quail that I got two out of and found the 2 ducks that fell in the thick stuff and were running.  So it ended up being a good day  :tup:

Took a day of yesterday and chased some birds.  Ended up putting up 10 birds and we got all 4 roosters that were flushed.  Here's a pic of one REALLY tired dog after we got home.

Took the sisters pup out for his first hunt. This little guy got his first rooster on his first hunt! A little timid in the beginning, but he warmed up to it and later couldnt resist those feathers! Good day for him, all tuckered out and ready for round 2. (was a wild rooster)

Hunted east side, 11/15.

How do ya tell a sharptail from a hen pheasant in the field?
Title: Re: 2014 Bird Hunting Pics!! Post them here.
Post by: Forks on December 03, 2014, 07:01:29 AM
I find they fly slower and often make a "clucking" sound.
Title: Re: 2014 Bird Hunting Pics!! Post them here.
Post by: Bluemoon on December 03, 2014, 08:16:59 AM
As Forks stated the "Clucking" noise they make is a dead give away, they also have a white underbelly. When hunting with us you learn to ID them quite fast, if you accidentally shoot a hen it cost a steak dinner for everyone that is with us for the day..  :bdid:..
Yesterday we were into covey's of over 100 birds.  This cold weather is really consolidating them..   
Title: Re: 2014 Bird Hunting Pics!! Post them here.
Post by: Forks on December 04, 2014, 07:51:09 AM
Are the coveys holding somewhat tight?
Title: Re: 2014 Bird Hunting Pics!! Post them here.
Post by: Bluemoon on December 04, 2014, 04:55:09 PM
Forks
The Sharpies are holding tighter now then they were in September.  Where we hunt (just south of Havre) it has been below freezing for the past few weeks.  We are finding them at tops of draws that lead into wheat fields.  The majority of them when flushed are just flying 100 yards or so to the next draw to be worked again.  They are not blowing out and going for miles like we see earlier in the year.  This will be our last weekend hunting them our season ends the 15th.  Packing up and heading back to WA. next week.  It's been a great season, have been over here since the middle of September..We will have to meet up I'm just a 1/2 hour so of Olympia when in WA.

Nice looking dogs, I forget what they are called. When I get another bird dog that's what I want. Do you breed them?

They've appeared other places in this forum and other forums, but these have also appeared in magazine articles.

If you'd like to get a photo in a magazine, look at the composition of these images.  There's a human, birds IN HAND and a gun.  Always have birds in hand. With a dog, kneel with the dog, keep birds in hand, cradle shotgun in elbow,
SMILE! (We're telegraphing that this is fun. We're having a good time. It's enjoyable and exciting.)

Good luck, good shooting and drive careful.
