When two worlds meet it can create for interesting times. Well, the world my wife came from was drastically different than the world I was raised in. The collision of these two worlds came during the first year of hunting season during the first year of our marriage. Elk season rolled around, and I was doing my best to be a responsible and dutiful husband, but the computer kept leaping in front of me and forcing me to watch hunting shows – once in a while. Nothing extreme. My wife thought it was a little extreme, but I assure you I never watched more than two consecutive dvds. Unless it was absolutely necessary. The season rolled around and I was excited to introduce my new bride to this way of life that I love so much. We planned the hunt – I had my spot picked out, I had my rifle, my ammo, my clothes, everything I needed. The night before the hunt, my wife wanted to make sure I’d packed everything.

When Jody asked for guest bloggers she mentioned that if you wrote a guest post while she was away you would be required to write something funny. Now, writing humor is not my forté but I did promise Jody a guest post and I like to keep my promises. So, I guess I’ll tell you the story of perhaps the most embarrassing and, at least years later, funny thing that ever happened to me in the woods.

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.

“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.”
