Title: Springers First Rooster!!
Post by: SpringerFan on October 04, 2010, 04:21:17 PM: Well my one year old Springer flushed a big ole rooster, marked it when it went down and found it in over waist high grass!!! What a thrill for me to see his natural instinct and training pay off!!! Included a pic of him working some wheat in true Springer style!! :)

Thanks for the pics

Someone snuck in and wound his tail up every morning. He never had all four legs on the ground while hunting. I sure do miss hunting the ringnecks over Rudy

Great looking dog.

Post by: SpringerFan on October 05, 2010, 10:34:39 PM: Thanks all. Jack is a great friend and a kick ass field companion. Only in my second year of hunting......oh what I have missed :bash:

It really warms my heart to see him work. And to have him still be my best friend after at home is even better.

Happy hunting all!

Ken
