Title: Chukar and a young dog
Post by: Rowdy on November 10, 2009, 12:03:35 PM: Well it's been a pretty good year for the pup and I. It's his second full season and the bulb is burning brighter and brighter. Here are a couple pics of the pup doing his thing. Sorry some might be a little blurry, still learning how to use the PnS I just got.

Post by: Rowdy on November 10, 2009, 12:18:54 PM: Thanks and you are certainly correct about the friend part. The bond I have with this pup is unbreakable. His range in Chukar country is anywhere from 150-300 yards, sometimes more. Now that he's getting a little older and more confident he's covering a lot more ground. It's a pleasure to watch. I almost forgot my gun a couple weeks ago and I don't think it would have been that big of a deal, that's how much I like seeing him do what he was bred to do.

Thanks,
Jake

Nothing like a good bird dog. I had a lab for the past several years because I do a lot of late season waterfowl hunting, but grew up bird hunting behind several shorthairs. The one my brother and I grew up with, a small female, hunted for 14 seasons and lived almost 17 years. Lots of great memories.
