Default Hunting in the Thick Stuff

Bert and Fielder

Thick stuff. Plum thickets. Yucca. Thorns and spikes. Sand.

Fielder is on point in there. A little hard to see.

Thumbs up

Not too far in reach or in time from the dustbowl of the 30's. Tough hunting, tough dogs. Keep it up.

That little pup is really coming along for you, huh. That’s great!

Yes Fielder is 7 months and finding, pointing, holding and retrieving birds. Bert the pointer is the workhorse typical Elhew.

Cold in the low 20s, north wind and cloudy today in the OK panhandle so knocked it off, kick back after a visit to:

Here’s another pic of Fielder on point. You might be able to see her a little better in this shot. This pup is something special.

She is 7 months old now and worked a couple hundred wild birds this fall. The breeder , Randy Herman of Houdini Kennels in Lonsdale MN decided to do a repeat breeding of her parents, with pups due this spring.

The photo shows a low tail but it came up a second later. I like a high tail on point. I don’t like any tendency of setters to sit or lay down on birds like some do and she has none of that.

The Hole in the Prairie gang.

Clockwise ; Dick Dow, Mike Franzen, Charlie Herzog, Russ Lindsay, Tom Wooden and Bruce Day. The desperado cowgirl Miss Julia was the photographer.

Ritch Rand in Billings would be proud .

This picture reminds me of so many westerns where the bad guys enter the saloon, and everyone in there decides it's best they git along. I see Colt .45s have been replaced by smartphones
