and no id on the birds and heard they had coolers full of breasts

They should have canned and labeled their birds, that would have fixed their problem

I agree! Probably would cut into their hunting though

We usually have a few hanging around but I haven't saw one all summer. Same with ruffed and sharptail , It's been a few years now since I've heard a ruffed .

Heard some cackling already this morning! Should be a fun day

Was a nice morning for opener, birds held well. We got the three we flushed, didn't see anyone else out hunting.

Dog found 2 we would have never found.

isn't that the truth?

That's the worst. Pheasant folds up looking completely dead. You haul ass to the exact spot you watched it drop - nothing. Spend 15 minutes searching the perimeter and never find it.

 

[Rowdie]

Exactly what happened. It was still alive and after about 15 minutes looking in same spot she pounced on it and still couldn't see it right at my feet. It ran and she ended up getting it

 

[Ruttin]

It's bad with how dry it is. So much scent that doesn't go away. My boots barely had any dew on them! We got our six plus a bonus skunk

Took daughter out for a grouse walk with the dogs Friday evening, nothing.
Turkey hunting Saturday night, feathers flew

Anyone have experience with porcupine. Dog got hit on Saturday. Took to the vet and they removed a bunch more quills after we removed a fair share in the field. This morning found 2 more in the chin but one broke off. Do I need to have another trip to the vet? Can I let it work out or should i try to perform some of my own surgery.

Watch and see if it works its way out. If it becomes infected go to vet immediately that can get serious real fast.

I hate porcupines I kill with no mercy

Hate them also, as have had run in's with my dogs. Usually use more shells then needed when disposing. Hopefully all is well with the hound.

if possible,, take a finger nail clipper and clip just a bit off the end of the quill,, makes it a lot easier to pull out..

Yeah, porky's suck! I remember a few yrs back our Springer got hit....on her very first hunt. Thank GOD it was just a glancing blow as not many got to her face. She was a trooper as she basically let me pull as many out as I could. I used my Leatherman. I brought her back to the truck to sit things out a while but she wanted none of that...whining from the truck as we left for another walk. SHE DID NOT want to be left behind.haha so i knew she was gonna be ok. I let her hunt with us the next field we hunted. She was running in the field dragging a leg where she must have used a paw to swat the porky and or her face so leg/paw was still sore...but she wanted to hunt dammit. haha We were still picking out quills that evening after the hunt. and..some quills were still working their way out weeks afterwards.
