Scott B. called with a question I’ve had a LOT of personal experience with: dog boots. This topic has generated more frustration among more hunters than almost any other (besides over/under vs. side-by-side). From the Duluth News Tribune
No shots were fired by Duluth’s Tom S. Bell, 38, and his longtime friend Tom Schramm, 37, of Esko. The birds were just out of range. But those early flushes were a sign of good things to come on this five-day sharp-tailed grouse and Hungarian partridge hunt in western North Dakota. Bell soon picked up his first sharptail of the morning in low cover near a dry wetland. From the Duluth News Tribune For Steve Ingram, a hunting trip that was supposed to last a few hours Monday morning turned into a more than 30-hour excursion. The 56-year-old Silver Bay man got lost in the woods, walked many unexpected miles, slept under a tree with his dog, portaged across a few lakes with a church group and hitched a ride back to civilization early Tuesday evening. In the meantime, the Lake County Sheriff’s Office had launched a search for Ingram with assistance from the Two Harbors, Silver Bay and Finland rescue squads. Officials began searching for Ingram in the area east of Ely and north of Isabella at about 11:30 a.m. Tuesday. From the Duluth News Tribune They ask so little. They give us so much, these dogs who let us take them hunting. For a lot of hunters, it wouldn’t be a hunt without their devoted canine companions. With the fall hunt upon us, we asked a few hunters to share their favorite dog stories. We think you’ll enjoy them.
Mark Fouts, Superior Director of Regional Operations, Ruffed Grouse Society “I remember my first pointing dog,” Fouts said. “An English setter. I got her from [Duluth dog trainer] Joe DeLoia. She was about 3. We were hunting pheasants — you know, ditch parrots — down in Nebraska.” From the Duluth News Tribune If you’ve never hunted ducks in a snowfall, let me tell you that it is a remarkable thing. The ducks appear as if out of nowhere. How they even know that there is water down below when the air is as thick as one of those shaken snow globes I’ll never know. But down they drop, brazen-chested, feet dangling and wings cupped, suddenly appearing before startled hunters who rise cold and stiff, shotgun barks muffled by the wet air. And so it was this day, both blinds seeing great action, six men relishing the experience, and one very happy retriever. From the Duluth News Tribune Six retrieving dogs from Northeastern Minnesota will be among 287 entered in this week’s Master National Hunt Test, which starts today near Mountain Iron. The event, which tests the top retrievers in the country under simulated hunting situations, is being conducted by the Minnesota Iron Range Retriever Club. Members of the MIRRC who have dogs qualified to compete in the national event include: * Jace Tramontin, Cherry, with his black Lab, JT’s Tip Trouble. * Pete Coldagelli, Eveleth, with his yellow Lab, Ramblin Man’s Bella Donna. * Mark Vossbein, Biwabik, with a chocolate Lab, The Captn L’il Ace of Peakview and a yellow Lab, The Captain’s Mark-V Renegade. checklist-page-1 |
