running dog
I have pics of a hatched nest of 17 Hun eggs from my back yard and they hatched June 19th. 2016 if you put 6 weeks on those chicks you have roughly Aug. 1 and those young birds will fly. I usually plan on starting to run on wild birds about Aug 1st. to the 10th. depending on what I find the first couple times out on Sharpetail and they are usually a little older Huns.
Most chicks are good in my opinion to be run on from after the first week of Aug.
Also I don't continue to run in one area for any continued length of time and the area I use is very large and the continual contacts with the same coveys is not common.
Unlike a flusher or retriever which the bulk of the training is focused on the retrieve the pointer groups concern is to find birds and in my case I have the privileged of running on wild birds which are the ultimate training bird......
