Finally had a cooler weekend and got after grouse here in Nebraska. Found some Prairie Chickens this morning!

Nice! Are you both hunting GWPs? Great looking dogs.

 

[Nickziegler]

Yes she is a 4 year old GWP. 2nd year chasing grouse and woodcock and she has really started to figure it out. Has been a pheasant dog her whole life but want to get her as many birds as possible. Love the bearded girls

Yep, Trigger is a 9 year old wirehair.

Nickziegler, she's a good looking dog! I love that 4th picture!

You have a very good looking dog as well. I have always been a lab guy and my wife and I were actually looking at different lab breeders until we met a couple that had a GWP with them at an outdoor bar. After talking with them for some time we decided to give the GWPs try. Will never have a different breed

Little to no upland bird hunting in central MO where I live and only hunted teal opening day, shot 1. Doves have been plentiful, shot around 200 off of my sunflowers. Big duck season is a month away yet.

Really good year so far in Kansas and Nebraska

We found some more this weekend. I'm usually chasing ducks this time of year, but it's been dry and water's limited, so grouse it is. I hadn't really targeted prairie chickens much before, but it's been pretty fun. Learning a lot, getting the dog some work, and bringing home some birds...could be a lot worse!

Our season is still two weeks away but i'm excited to see how much all of the work with this pup will turn out. She will be a year old in a week.

Wow, that’s awesome success on the prairie chickens!!

Hunted Sat AM opener.

Lots of Phez in MN. Looking forward to December.

We had a nice hunt after the rain this afternoon at a new spot. 20+ grouse flushes

Hunted the opener in OR. The pup took a beating but we scratched out a few birds.. I have a few more deer hunts to get through and then we'll focus on Chukar.

Lol that looks terrible to pick out. Nice work on the birds. Our WI pheasant opener opens up saturday. It is honestly a zoo around so I'll be sticking up north to chase grouse. I'll be hitting the pheasant fields after opening week and let the dog open up and do some big running

Those are some beautiful dogs you’ll have. Makes me feel a bit bad for my WPG that she doesn’t get to hunt upland birds.

We went to clear trails and check out stands for deer season. Turned into a fruitful day of birds with minor progress toward deer season.

Pretty good bird season here so far. October 1st was the opener for us, as is tradition I hunted waterfowl. Did well and got my yellow lab his first retrieve when he and I went solo for the evening. The pup is an excitable 90lber and still learning his canoe manners, so he has sat out a lot of my duck hunts because the water levels in my favorite early season marsh are too low for a larger boat and wind has made having him in a canoe a cold swim probable proposition.
Upland hunting, woodcock and grouse have been plentiful but foliage and the dog still learning the game has resulted in more unseen flushes than good shooting opportunities. Conditions aligned with a frosty morning and nearly no wind Monday and we had a great day, three ruffed grouse got invited to dinner and I should have had one more and a woodcock but it kept my truck as a back stop and replacing a window for a bird didn't seem like a fair trade off. Foliage is a little thick still and I was a little slow on some birds so didn't get a shot but the dog flushed 14 grouse and 5 wood cock so a great day for all.

Another good couple of days for us
