One of the best parts of pheasant hunting is spending time with the mans best friend! I just love to watch the dogs work, so how many of you have set the gun down to capture a few moments in the field? 
Oh there he is!

I’ve been known to miss some birds cuz I am too busy taking pictures…. seems to happen later in the season after I have had my fill of shooting birds. I carry a digital camera with me and also have a Sharp Hi8 video camera on bino straps that I take movies with… I have gotten some really neat pictures both still and video over the years. Unforunately most of my digital pictures are of a higher pixal rating then what is allowed here…. plus I haven’t figured out yet how to put a picture in my bio yet…. any ideas and suggestions would be greatly appreciated… Thanks

Here is my dog “ziggy” doing what he does best. Actually, I have to brag a little about Ziggy now. If anybody tells you that a gun shy dog can never be “fixed” they’re wrong. Ziggy was deathly afraid of guns. He would shake uncontrollably when you would shoot. He wouldn’t even move. He would come to my feet and shake and refuse to move. Well after letting him tag along on a couple hunting trips, he finally got better and better. He also didn’t hunt worth a hoot before. I have to take the blame for that, cuz I never did any real training with him. But this past week I took him out when I was home for thanksgiving and he made a complete 180! I don’t know what happened, but he went from just being “along for a walk” to a hunting machine. We hunted thick cattails and he flushed around 25 birds. The first was a rooster that I got and the next 24 were hens! 
But every one was flushed from under his nose in the thickest stuff you could find! Needless to say, i’m a proud dog owner now! There is nothing better than watching a dog get birdy and make a flush. Now if only the season didn’t end so soon! Thanks for listening to me be a proud “Dad”!
