Title: One shot - two birds
Post by: CP on October 17, 2012, 02:47:03 PM: It's not what think, I shot the 1st one, the 2nd thought he'd be safe in a blackberry bush. He was until the lab went in and pulled him out kicking and cackling.

Not the 1st release site pheasant that he's caught, actually that's 2 in last 2 hunts.

Yep, it’s close by but I need to find someplace that’s less soggy.

I thought I was the only Gordon guy around here. :hello:

mine caught a crippled hen the other day... we had a little talk and I think things will be ok.

He did not like birds that would not hold. :chuckle: The only problem was the dog did not differentiate between hens and roosters in a rooster only season. :yike:
