4th of july
« on: July 05, 2018, 12:05:47 AM »
Always so greatful for my gunbroke dogs on the 4th. The only downside is they are waiting for dead birds to fall out of the sky!
The deer are exactly where you find them, and no where you dont!

I am with you, mine never flinched once.  I’ve had many dogs that I’ve had to tranquilize for 4 or 5 days.

I walked my dog down to my brothers house last night while fireworks were going off all over. He couldn't have cared less. My neighbor came out to talk to me and she couldn't believe how chill he was. It cracked me up because he is the most energetic dog I've ever owned. He chases leaves that fall out of the tree for hours.
Lead em if they're running.

Normally my hounds go wild half the night thinking bear and cougar will be falling out of the trees, but for some reason last night they were quiet. I think there were more fireworks in my neighborhood than ever before. Maybe they finally figured out it's a false alarm? My shorthair was on good behavior too.  :dunno:

Have never had a problem with my labs. When the male was young he would look and sniff around the yard for the first part. Now they just lay around in the back yard and don't pay any attention.

Lucky dogs.  Gus, our yellow lab is a bird dog in the sense he was born one  ;).  Loves water, loves to retrieve any thrown items, loves to roam about in fields and in the woods, but is not a hunter (meaning I don't hunt him).  Doesn't mind normal (distant) gun fire "but" turns into a shell of a lab when the big booms of the 4th commence.  Dang fool wants to crawl on my lap in my old guy recliner (ain't enough room for me and 85 lbs of lab).  Nope, he don't care for those fireworks.

I have a little 11 pound fake dog that I walk every single night of my life including last night around 11pm. Fireworks blazing away all around us and she just couldn't care less. People were amazed how she was.

" In today's instant gratification society, more and more pressure revolves around success and the measurement of one's prowess as a hunter by inches on a score chart or field photos produced on social media. Don't fall into the trap. Hunting is-and always will be- about the hunt, the adventure, the views, and time spent with close friends and family. " Ryan Hatfield

Oh yeah, and in the fall he sits by the pear tree and waits for the pears to hit the ground then he picks em up and eats em.

We have 14 apple trees and when the fruit fell every year my big black lab Hoss (RIP) would gorge himself.  If you couldn't find Hoss and it was apple season you need look no further than the orchard.  One time I swear to God he was up standing with some deer eating apples.
