Tuning up for Fall Hunts

It won’t be long now before the fall hunting season kicks off here in Utah. Firs off is the dove hunt which opens on September 1st. I have been trying to get my dogs into shape after a lazy summer of doing nothing. I can tell that they are a little soft and will take a few weeks to get the fat burned off. I took some quail out today and let Abby point a few and she was holding real nicely. I hope to get her a lot of birds this year as I plan to guide a lot more for Rooster Valley Pheasant Hunting Preserve here in town. It seems like nothing brings a dog along faster than birds, birds and even more birds.

    I’m getting my dogs tuned up too. Chukar hunting here in Idaho can be rough on them if they’re not in shape. Have some pheasant hunting trips to S. Dakota planned too.
