Got a few points (grouse/woodcock) and some water work (mallard) out of her this afternoon, but only took the one picture since it was raining a bit.

We found plenty of burrs this morning, and one rooster for the youth opener.

Found 5 roosters, 2 partridge, and 1 cottontail today. Oscar’s a tired boy.

We got pay back for the other day. It has been one of the best years for a while . Ducks definitely had a good hatch this year.

How’s the waterfowl season going?
Absolutely smashed them this am on a flooded smart weed patch between flooded corn

So many beautiful dogs in this thread. Makes me wish mine wasn’t a big old lap dog haha. Next round will definitely be a working dog.

A couple jump shoots with my brother that's in for a visit/hunt:





Some irrigation ditch decoying action today

Pretty proud of him and my shooting yesterday. 4 for 4. A little easier on him than a bunch of ducks and roosters.

We took a group of 10 kids this weekend. Kids shot a lot of pheasants and had a great time.

Good times taking the young ones out, especially with good dogs to hunt over. Love the dog.

Back in WI this past weekend to catch the cold front, had to chase some roosters between sits. Took the little girl out and she crushed it. She’s a 3 year old field trial washout but is still awesome on the hunt. One of the birds flushed next to a pond and I shot it when it got across, she absolutely hammered the mark on that bird and got a swim in on the retrieve.

Back in Wisconsin also. Took out a little time to get the nephews lab out. Even got a couple blacks ones.

Got 4 more roosters and hundreds of burrs on Sunday. After hunting for 5 hours on Saturday and 5 on Sunday, Oscar’s feet were wrecked. Insides and outsides of pads were raw and around where his nails come out of his feet were swollen. I never had these issues with my golden retriever. Are the other Griff owners seeing the same thing, and if so, short of booties, what do you guys do to help take care of their feet?
