Taking out a nest raider

5 1/2 months old, swam across the creek, sniffed out a wounded rooster hiding on the bank in the grass. Caught it, and retrieved it to hand. One of my proudest moments

probably my fav pic of her. I shot this sharptail grouse and I was getting ready to go look for it; the brush was way over her head no way she saw it fall 60 yards from her. Yet here she comes to me with the bird!

Lots of Woodcock last fall. We are working on the Ruffed Grouse. Montana bound in six weeks to kick off Chief's 2nd season.

We live in an aspen forest.
This ruffed grouse was about 5 feet from our upper deck when I took the photo.

Eurasian collared dove - not really an upland bird in my opinion - can’t shoot enough of these invasive species

How does the lab work on grouse and huns? I'm trying to figure out the best bird dog for me (mix of waterfowl, prairie birds, and mountain grouse)- and I keep coming back to a smaller female lab.

If a bird smells, he’ll flush and retrieve if you do your part! Huns were a by-product when going after sharpies. He’s a 90lb+ black lab, not exactly made to chase birds in dry, sunny conditions! He’s a powerful swimmer. The first three years of his life, he was awesome at chasing roosters in the prairie!

How about mountain grouse? I basically want a do-all bird dog for mountains, prairies, and rivers.

Never chased those with him! There’s pros and cons to all dog breeds as far as hunting, I’ll go black lab until I’m dead! They’re 95% of the time family dogs anyways!
