My little lab puts in 100% effort on the pheasants and partridge year round up here in ND. She gets a 2 mile hike every day, the same stuff I walk when I’m pheasant hunting in the fall. Pheasants have her figured out and just sneak out before she gets there now. Need a new crop of dumb ones as we killed all the dumb ones last fall/winter. You can’t tell someone they can’t walk a dog on a place where they can legally walk a dog and you can’t tell a dog not to get birdy and flush a bird.
