Bird season is still open here so I'm nunting every weekend until the end of the month. After that it is running/training bird dogs. At least 4x a week until season starts again next Septmber. I think I'm going to take an English Pointer puppy for a friend and work him he comes up in August for dog camp. That will keep me busy! All age Field Trial prospect.
Feeding and watering cows, checking trap lines, cutting firewood and exercising the dogs. I’m a spring and fall guy, not thrilled with cold or hot weather.
Ice fishing has been bad this year so bought a thermal and going night hunting alot and training the dog when the weather permits. Might go pheasant hunting a few times before the season is over or shoot some more geese.
Just went through a tie-back surgery with our ancient GSP…didn’t think he was gonna pull through but he rallied and is as spry as ever.
In the meantime we have a new GSP Puppy coming in two weeks so I have been refreshing my dog training knowledge. I forgot how much work went into getting my dog on the right path. It’s gonna be a fun winter project.
Started a job running a Pisten Bully 600 grooming machine at the local ski resort. Needed something to keep me busy and will squander whatever I make on outdoors gear and pursuits. Incredible machines but tough hours, graveyard shift. Will guide some hare hunters for a local outfitter on my days off.
Work keeps me busy through the first part of the day, the rest of the day is spent shooting or going for a hike. Can’t complain, at some point the cold winter will actually get here and I’ll be limited on time outside.
