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.

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.

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.

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.

Great looking dogs guys. I am new to the province, and I am looking to meet fellow hunters and sporting dog enthusiasts alike. If anyone wants a hunting partner, I am game. Name's Dan, and I live in the Edmonton area.

Looks like you're giving him plenty of love getting him out there as much as the pics show and he's repaying you nicely! Great shots - and you're right - tough to beat hunting over a pointing dog!

She's from Michigan - Red Radiance's Bonus Point a.k.a. - Csilla - (pronounced Chee-la). I do believe that I might have met Kati briefly as a pup a few years back! Very sweet girl - would love to see her in action huntin' 'em up!
All reddog owners are somehow related!

Hey man, how are you and that orange girl doing? Man, is she ever stretched out on point in that pic.
I had forgotten about this thread, and was excited to open it, then I realized it was a thread I started.
Dfrobert, Parker is out of Cedarwoods Kennel in Boise Idaho.

Dang thats a big old hare. Pudelpointers have always appealed to me. Have heard and seen nothing but good things about the Cedarwoods line. What is your dog like at home? Couch potato? How far does he range in the wide open stubble fields??

Hare was 12 lbs. Parker once retrieved a hare from a rangefinder measured distance of 373 yards.
As for personality, he is 1/2 clown and 1/2 evil genius. Honestly, he is a huge suck who will literally climb into your lap if you let him. Like most hunting dogs, he will figure out how to get himself in trouble if he is not exercised frequently.
In the stubble he will punch out 3-400 yards if there is some birdy habitat to check out, but usually ranges from 75- 150 yards. In close cover he shortens up a lot, but honestly we rarely hunt forest.
One thing he used to do, but hasn't for a long time, is bay like a hound - and loud like a hound as well!!! I would love to run him on cats, but don't dare to run him by himself. Maybe if I had 2 or 3 more.

All's good here - except for severe bird withdrawal onset at season close! 
Nothin' prettier or more exciting than a staunch/intense point finished off with a rooster flush! I get lucky every so often with camera in hand and am able to capture the moment. Suppose if I shot straighter, I'd have free hands to carry the camera and not the shotgun.  Wouldn't get evil eye from the pooch as often either!
AckleyAbe: I paid a short visit to Blackbullet with Csilla a few years ago and met an absolute 'gaggle' of great lookin' reddogz... Kati looks intense and all business - fantastic pic!
Seeing as we're comparing bunnies thought I'd include my 2-bits.
Keep posting those pics - can never see enough dog work captured on camera! Great stuff!
