Default Upland Hunting / Hunting Dog Pics

Thought I would post up some bird hunting pics from this fall. Please post up your own!

Parker on point x2





This shotgun was donated to the Stollery Children's Hospital PIF thread by CatntheHat; a 12 guage PH grade Parker with Twist barrels made in 1907. (Thanks Cat! I love it!)



Two Parkers, two pheasants, and a Hun.



Me and the mutt.

Trying a video:

http://youtu.be/23fmhBBuhtQ

Parker on point. He pointed this rooster for 2 minutes while I hiked down to where he was, got the camera out, etc. I had a limit already so I thought I would just film it. Not sure if you can hear it on the video, but the bird started to run as I walked behind the dog.

I have a bunch of 2 3/4 x 1 1/4oz #5 over (IIRC) 70 gr of FFF. My uncle loaded these up a couple years ago for me, along with a couple boxes of 7 1/2s. However, upon eating those birds (not many pheasants make it into the freezer at my house) I think he may have got some of them mixed up. The Hun and rooster #1 folded hard, and I am pretty sure they were hit with #5s (most passed right through). When I shot rooster #2, he dropped into the sweet clover and came up again when I got to where he went down. I had to hit him again. I found some shot in that one and it was a lot smaller than #5!

Oh well.

70 grains of FFG will certainly do the job!!
Brass or paper?
I was using 90 grains of FFG and 1 1/4oz.the past week, not much recoil, but good patterns and velocity.

If you could see the bores on it, you would be amazed. For a 105 year old Black Powder gun, they are incredible! I have no hesitation shooting it, as it is like new inside. (I am giddy and giggling like a school girl as I write this)

I have a 16 guage 2 1/2" built on the same frame, but with Trojan steel barrels. They make a beautiful set! I will try and take a photo of them together.

Banjo and Jet on Monday night. Jet held the point for a long time, the bird was in a small coulee below me. I had just started to walk down towards jet when the bird flew....he headed down the coulee and I was able to fold him with e 20 sxs.

Jet made a great retrieve down the coulee through a line of bushes and a fence and then back me, banjo then had his turn to cary the rooster around for a bit and then pose for a picture.

let's hope tonight brings us some more!!

Fuzzy wads or are they loaded with AA wads?
I like to use fuzzy wads when I load black, but I have used the plastic wads as well - lots of plastic build up!!

Quite the dog, for sure, and those two make a great team!

Smile Boy Black Powder fowling piece!

Pudelpointer, that gun was made about the same time as the dog Pudelpointer was developed!

That is quite a picture! It would be cool to see the smoke after the shot.

I can't (Ginnie can't) get the roosters to stop unless they are cornered. I've lost a few lbs. following her around.

I've seen 2 hens at Bigalow, which is hunted hard, so I take it the population is recovering.

What's even neater is to watch the bird fall out of the cloud of smoke!

Have you met many hunters at Bigelow that have shot roosters?

How old is Ginnie? Parker didn't get good at pinning running birds until his 3rd season (and then only occasionally). This year he has already had more solid points on roosters then any other full season. He is really starting to figure them out.

Keep running her on wild birds and she will figure it out.

Hey pudelpointer!

Just to let you know that we're bustin' 'em here in SK, too.

Parker looks like he's really come along since I last saw him as a pup in MT.

Keep on having fun chasin' boids!

Attached some pics from some of my hunts...(if I uploaded them right...)

Good looking pics everyone!!!

What kennel is "Parker" the Pudelpointer from? If it weren't for Griffs I'd own a Pudelpointer in a second! The ugly dogs never get any love. They sure can get the job done on birds though.

I'll add some pics on this thread.
