The dogs finally got to do a little pheasant hunting a couple weeks ago. We have been feeding our penned up pheasants for over 8 months and the gang thought it was time to do a little hunting since they haven’t gotten to hunt a month. We put the pheasants out in the marsh and took Nellie first to get her three pheasants. She caught one by herself and one she flushed up. More old girl couldn’t hear us or just wouldn’t listen to us and was having too much fun running amuck she got put up and didn’t get to get her third pheasant. It was a cold day so we decided to take Gambler and Glory out together so we could get it done faster without having to switch out dogs. Gambler caught a couple by himself too and Glory caught one. They both got some flushes and retrieves. It was a good day for the SS gang.
After this hunt the door to the pheasant pen was left open and about 25 pheasants got out. It would of been fine if they would of just flew off and found a new home but of course they didn’t because they knew the dogs needed to stay in shape so why not stick around and have the dogs run and chase to catch them. Wednesday morning for a hour and half the dogs were running non stop catching and bringing me birds. They bought me 15 that day. There are still more that each day they bring me.

OH WOW! I love the high jumping photos! Who is that in the first photo jumping so high?!? It looks like it was a fun hunt day. Sorry to hear all the pheasants escaped their pen! Oops. Have a great weekend.

gambler is the high jumper.
There’s nothing like an airborne dog! Looks like a great day!
a fun day indeed when birds are involved.
Love the photos – great height on that jump Gambler. They bring you the birds still alive?

Hahaaha yep..tis a certainty! ;0
Great work for the dogs, but what in the world do you do with all the birds?
We clean them and we eat a lot of pheasant. Pot Pie, Shredded, baked, fried,
No escape for those birds! Looks like they had a blast and you got nice pictures.
they worked hard at not letting any get away
Great jumping shot. And that last one where they’re all shi….er, I mean sitting pretty!
lmao, they are sitting pretty, now doesn’t mean they aren’t farting or something but they are sitting.
I love the jump pictures! It looks like the dogs had a great time! Barley’s been choosing to run amuck lately, too, but she’s having so much fun doing it that I just have to shake my head and laugh 🙂
I shake my head a lot too, lol
Great pictures of active, working dogs! I was wondering the same as SlimDoggy & Emmadog: Do the pups return the birds alive?
They do return some alive, Glory is better than Gambler as he thinks he needs to kill them I put back 4 alive.
These are amazing action shots!
Thank you!
Bentley really, really wants to come play with your gang. He says we don’t raise anything, much less bird to chase!
You all are welcome anytime you want to come to the north pole
These are fantastic photos! I love the jumping photos, they are so excited! 🙂
Well, they are definitely getting their exercise then! Ha, you would have thought those pheasants would have gotten as far away as possible when they had the chance!
