Here are a few pictures of the puppies on day two. The orange coloring starts light on english pointers and will darken up after a month or two.
-
Well we ended up with 6 new puppies. 3 black (2 males 1 female), 2 orange (both males), and 1 liver female.
-
Well the second puppy was a liver female and the third was an orange male. Wow we are only three puppies in and we already have all three colors. here is a picture of the the liver female.
-
Well the first puppy was just born right on time (we had estimated tomorrow for a due date) and is black and white with great spotting. My wife thinks it is a female. I will update later this evening with final numbers, colors and pictures.
-
My brother in law saw a nice 7x in the back of a truck in Lakeside this morning. They were driving so he wasn't able to get a picture.
-
Our female is looking really big. Just two more weeks until her due date. A few more detail about the puppies, they will be registered through American Field Sporting Dog Association. They will have their first set of shots and their dew claws removed. They will be available for pick up starting around November 7th. I will post details of numbers and sex of puppies after birth in a few weeks.

I was expecting not a lot of changes and was pleasantly surprised with 16 more Gould’s tags for next spring over last years numbers. Maybe it will be my year to draw.

Great shotgun at a great price. I have one real similar with the same engravings. It is my understanding that Browning doesn’t make any new ones that are engraved and haven’t since the late 90’s. The engraved models are becoming more rare and harder to find. I have shot Dove, Quail, Chucker, Pheasant and Turkey with mine. It is my go to gun for 5 stand sporting clays, I shoot better with it than any other gun i have tried at clay targets. Good luck with the sale.

Tommy, have you heard of Maverick. It is not to far from there. It about 3 miles upstream from where Pacheta Creek dumps into the Black river.
-
Did you have any pictures of Pacheta Falls? Beautiful area and well worth the long drive to get there.
-
Great composition with the turkey looking back into the picture. I like calling across the reservation fence to those WMAT birds to try to entice them to cross over. This spring two or three hens answered the call and came across. This picture with the hen looking back reminds me of that.

Here is a picture of the box call I made and donated for the banquet tomorrow night. It is a Mesquite call body with Arizona Walnut base plate and lid. It sounds great. I will be attending in Sierra Vista with my Wife two boys and Parents. Hope to meet some of you there. Here is the info on the banquet. The Huachuca Gould’s Chapter 16th Annual Hunting Heritage to be held on August 2, 2014 at the Knights of Columbus Hall, 156 W. Kayetan Drive, in Sierra Vista. Doors open at 4:30PM.

19th Annual Valley Longbeards Chapter NWTF Banquet
Little Creek Calls replied to Couestracker's topic in Turkeys!
Wish I could make it, I will be out of town with family. I will have 3 calls I donated in the auction. -
Yoshi, what unit for turkey did you put in for? I just bought the bonus point for turkey, still waiting for the spring Gould's tag.

Which Scope for ML
Little Creek Calls replied to Flatlander's topic in Muzzleloader hunting for Coues Deer
Finally got it mounted up last night, thanks for your help Vowell. It is a Knight 45 cal disc extreme with the new Leupold ultimate slam. I have had the Muzzleloader for a few years and love it, I was just upgrading the scope. -
If you are going to be shooting a lot of ducks a semi auto might be nice but harder to get a quality gun in your price range. Like khmer6 said Stoger might be the best semi auto on a budget. If you go with a pump you can get top of the line gun and still have a few bucks leftover. My suggestions for pumps are if you are a remington guy get an 870, if not buy a Browning or Mossburg or Benelli. If you are wanting to hunt a lot of ducks and turkey defiantly go for one with a camo pattern, if you dont you will wish you did later.
-
What do you mostly plan on using it for? (target shooting, home defense, doves, quail, turkey, exc)
-
I have been wanting to try this. Do you use the hole pod including the seeds?
-
It was a good banquet. It was at bass pro and a little smaller venue so there was only seating for around 90, It was sold out. There was lots of guns. Food was good, all you can eat buffet of Chicken ribs mashed potatoes and apple pie. Lots of help from other chapters to get it going, Steve Sams from Prescott, Donna and one or two others from Tucson and of course Justin the regional director and his wife. Mike the new chapter president did a good job. Up next is the valley long beards banquet on July 26th. I will be out of town and cant make it but will have a couple calls there. Then last is Sierra Vista and the Huachuca Goulds August 2nd witch I hope to attend for the first time.

A Bowhunter's Worst Nightmare...
Little Creek Calls replied to Heinz57's topic in Bowhunting for Coues Deer
Drawing a bow is allot of stress to be putting on a newly healed clavicle. I had a bad clavicle break about 12 years ago and I dont think I would have tried it but I didn't get the titanium hardware. Doctors were back and forth on what they wanted to do and ended up just letting it heal naturally. My recommendation would be to get your doctor to write you a letter not recommending the draw a compound bow take it to game and fish and get a crossbow permit. -
The smoker was purchased in the live auction but you daughter did sell me the winning ticket to a youth pheasant hunt.
-
Its a pellet smoker. Has a electric ignition for the first 5 minutes after that its 100% wood fired. The computer monitors the temp and adjust the amount of wood added and fan speed to keep it at preset temp, No baby siting required.
-
Glad I was able to get this smoker for you. You will have to post some pictures when you pull your finished bird in 9 or 10 hours. I guess it is kind of fitting that your first smoke on your new NWTF smoker with turkeys on the front was a turkey. I look forward to coming over for BBQ's in the future and maybe having a friendly smoke off competition.

East Valley Toms 1st Banquet June 21 at Bass Pro Shops
Little Creek Calls replied to Little Creek Calls's topic in Conservation Group Events
It will be fun to see you there Mark. We can talk more about our spring hunts in New Mexico. As far as what call I will be donating I am not sure yet. It will be picked tomorrow, it will either be a slate, crystal or a box call. -

Little Creek Calls posted a topic in Conservation Group Events
For those of you who don’t know there is a new chapter of the NWTF in the Phoenix area, the East Valley Toms. I didn’t know until recently when a friend told me he heard they were going to have a upcoming banquet. I got in touch with the chapter president and am meeting up with him tomorrow to give him a call that I will be donating for the banquet auction. Their first Banquet will be this Saturday 6/21 at Bass Pro Shops. Doors open at 3:30 dinner will be at 5. I plan on attending and will have more information tomorrow.
