Here’s a nice video of some English Pointers working pheasants. It looks like the birds are running. The dogs handle the birds well. I love that Montana cover, and I miss it. I wish I could make it out there this fall. Enjoy.

We were inspired. After watching the video of Sugar duck hunting, Puck and I headed out into the woods to do the same thing on grouse. With a little GoPro video camera to her collar, off Puck went. -We were on a grouse pretty quickly. You can see the whole thing in the video below. [...]

Take a retriever, strap a tiny video camera onto it, pop a few ducks, and what do you get? Well, check it out:

How smart is your dog? As humans, we like to think that we are the smartest creatures out there. Or at least I like to think we are. In some ways, I’m probably right (I don’t see dolphins doing calculus). But humans have done enough dumb things to make you wonder where we stand in the [...]

For over a month now, the woodcock have been making their way further into New England. They arrived in southern Maine a few weeks ago. As the snow has melted away, they’ve crept further north. It amazes me how far these little birds travel each year. I’ve read that some them start in New Brunswick [...]

It’s official–spring has arrived in southern Maine. Puck and I flushed a couple woodcock today in a cover just north of Saco. A friend of mine once told me that woodcock covers are like restaurant parking lots: they don’t fill up all at once. Instead, one car shows up, then another, then a couple more [...]
It’s been tough winter here in New England – long, gray, snowy. I’ve had just about enough of it. So I’m glad it’s over 60 degrees out today. The snow is melting away and the ice on the rivers is breaking up. I’m hoping to get my canoe in the water in a couple of [...]

Springer Spaniels are great dogs, and watching them work a field is quite an experience. If you’ve ever wondered how they got their name, check out this video. This dogs hits the cover harder than a tornado.

Well, the 2010 grouse hunting season has ended in Maine. But that doesn’t mean Puck and I can’t go out and chase grouse. Here are some shots from our first trip of 2011. We had one solid point. I’m not sure if there was a bird, though. Puck may have been pointing a fresh grouse [...]

Dear Santa- How are things up north this year? Is it warming up at all? I hear you could be having problems with that. Anyway, you’re a busy guy and I won’t take up much of your time. I swear I’ve been good all year (or as good as I could be) and all I want for [...]
