Title: Cooke Canyon 3/14/2010
Post by: gasman on March 14, 2010, 09:05:44 PM: Met up with a few forum members at Cooke Canyon today for some bird hunting.
We had a grat time. I missed two birds due to the safty being on. So Dave felt bad for me and gave me a bird that his dog killed. The bird was missed by three diferent people but Pen came out to be a trooper and caught it for us.
Rocky had a simular safty mishap on a few birds to, but on one of the last birds of the day everyone took a shot at it and they gave it to Rocky, sence no one knew really shot it :chuckle:

On the way out a bird was seen flying in to a small ravine. Tom went in looking for it with Hermy, then i joined in on the search with my dogs. We were about to guve up when i see Hermy out of the corner of my eye and a bird went flying up, I pulled up and shot. All i see was feathers fly and the bird hit the ground. It was my first phesant kill :IBCOOL:

Over all i think we came out with 9 out of 13 birds. If i am off on the number some one else will correct me.

Thanks guys, we had a great time.

If you are going to have a safety mishap :bdid:....having the safety on is the type safety mishap we should all be so responsible to have :tup:. Good work folks. Dogs are looking good. What are they charging for roosters over there now?

Post by: penhuntsbirds on March 16, 2010, 06:02:47 PM: That was Mike's 3rd time over there with me :hunter:. This time he bought a pup on the way home. A beautiful male Brittany that Doug's brother had. So the little monster pointed today on a wing we brought home tied to a fishing pole :fishin: and casted out! :IBCOOL: Only 3 months old! If anyone needs a pup he has two left.

Thanks gasman but I still have 6 or 7 in the freezer right now.

I've been searching for some pigeons or quail after you came by last week and haven't found any for less than $20 each. Where did you pick yours up? Do they have any more?

I got three in the box. Let me know and you can come by or i can bring one over and set it to your pup. That area across the street would be great to let the pup chase one around in ;)

If you want your own just let me know ai will get ahold of the guy and get them for you.

Post by: Rocky on March 18, 2010, 05:03:00 PM: Don't worry guy I had a great time! I can't wait until we go again :] I had a blast for my first time, but i'll tell you the next day my arms were soar because of the shot gun. Lol. The dog's weer so tired on the way home, Buddy was fighting it to stay awake with dad & I. Snickers just passed out & took up the seat so Buddy ended up moving to the floor.
