Old dog still hunts

[wipartimer]

After too many years off, I was able to get Ace out after some birds at a preserve. He's getting on in years, and this was the first time he has ever hunted without Rio. about 45 minutes into the hunt he did a sudden 180 and locked on a point that was pure poetry. I was soo proud of him, it was awesome to see the old drive come back. Looking forward to a great season!

It is an amazing sight to behold, when a hunting dog has a flawless execution

You are right to be proud. To watch a dog doing what it knows really is a gift to any who get to see it.
He looks quite proud of himself also, as he should be.

Thank you everyone! now I can't wait for the weather to cool off. it's going to be a tough decision each weekend: bowhunt or bird hunt? it's a wonderful dilemma to face!

Nothing like a good bird hunt with a great dog!

Spent the last 2 weeks in KS chasing deer and dove. Got to work my silver male, Ripken, who lives with my kid.
They both need to spend more time afield, lol. This dog lives to be hunting. He's only 7, so he has a few years of memories to make still!

What a privilege... To shoot over your own dog is the pinnacle of hunting!!! Waidmannsheil!
