Great job all around. Nice shooting. Sunset and scenery is worth it alone. Plus bonus flushes from roosters. Glad to see the hard work paying off. Awesome pups.
Greetings from Colorado! I have a lot of respect for a man who takes care of his dogs. Giving them water is the greatest thing you can do for a dog in the field. I hunt with labs and have water always available for them in the field. Best regards and it's a great video.
@@sikandershah9619 thank you, especially in Montana, I’m weighted down with lots of water when we go ahead, little to no pot holes out there to utilize.
Tim, It does my heart good to see hunters still placing importance on a good recall. More people should be able to safely and easily get their dogs of a snake like that. Good job sir. jmp
@@timwagenmanuplandadventure8270 We do. Not as often as you might think but we definitely see them from time to time and I do what you did whenever I have dogs on the ground. If not I let them be...just did that in one of my recent Dove hunt vids. Just about stepped on one in the dark. Could have killed it but there was no reason and we didn't have any dogs on the ground. If I did it would be no more.
Very nice video that realistically depicts what it's like on the ground behind the dogs. Well done. You indicated to avoid the snakes, stay out of the rocks & you also mentioned avoiding the "badlands" as well. What describes badlands in your opinion & what sort of badlands cover should a bird hunter lookout for to avoid the snakes?
Hi there Tim, i’m a big fan all the from the Philippines 🇵🇭. Love watching your videos andlove watching your dogs work. Hope to see more videos.👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 If you don’t mind me asking, what are the names and what do you call their colors? Thank you Sir.
@@marvinlacsina2662 thanks! Shilo is black and white patched and ticked, Oliver is brown and white patched and ticked and Ace is also black and white patched and ticked.
Dang if I knew you were headed out there by yourself we could've tried to set something up, love MT. Still not a fan of the early days, it's so hot on the dogs; especially for me just having one dog. At least you found a few, nice job. I've been waiting for it to cool down a little.
@@ventureoutdoorswithkirk would be fun to do that! Yes the early season is always hot it seems in Sept. just once I’d like to hit a week in the high 60s low 70s.
@@troysappington791 this one was on BLM land, you can find lots of places to camp on BLM, some WMAs and many other places too, if you have an area your interested in look for BLM or places to camp on OnX if you have it, otherwise google the area for camping opportunities. There’s good apps out there too for camp sites as well.
Loved the video and watching your dogs. Do you just set up camp on State land? or do you have to find private or BLM land to camp on? I am planning on a trip next month and hope to dry camp somewhere
Nice start to the season! It looks like you found a fair number of young birds so the rest of us bird hunters need to get going and start hunting. Thanks for the video!
@@BryantandSherriFuerst I’ve talked to a lot of guys that have hunted out there for 20 + years and never ran into one. Just gotta look out for areas you think you might see one in. I walked through a spot I normally wouldn’t have but it was the quickest way back to the truck…..from now on I’ll do the “dead” walk instead, which means walking a spot I already walked to get back to the truck. I’m avoiding that area all together, that’s 2 years in a row for Ace to be in that situation.
Great video, Tim. Looks like another enjoyable trip to the High Plains chasing grouse and partridge. I hate snakes, doesn't matter what kind. God took their legs for a reason. Evil things.
@@jimsargent7288 a couple spots you can see me looking in the direction of my shells, I don’t film every one I pick up but I do pick them up, at one point in the video I even pick up someone else’s empty.
Those Benelli ultra light really throw shells, I also like to pick up my shells but a lot of times they are difficult to find. I’m thinking about getting Benelli 828 U to alleviate that problem. I have to use Benelli shims to gain cast off.
@@klhrlh sometimes they are hard to find I agree, I always pick up others shells too and the rare few I may lose I like to think I make up for by picking up others shells. I do love my Benelli though!
Great clip, but please show yourself and mention to pick up the empty shells. Respect the land owners, and that will give all hunters a good name and something to follow.
@@michaelscanlan6192 I don’t show every time I pick up my shells, I do at least one time a video sometimes even more and I did that in this one as well and picked up someone else’s shell too. A video from last year I picked up someone else’s plastic water bottle and carried it out. I wish everyone would do things like that, I always do. Sounds like you do too and that’s good.
I'm in Colorado, but some of my friends left for Montana decades ago. We're all long-time falconers. Montana is a dreamland for our sport. Unfortunately, Colorado has lost their upland game birds to the cattle industry. We used to have sharptails, prairie chickens, and even sage grouse in great numbers. Those days are gone. Now we have a Leftist governor and Venezuelan gangs. Upland game hunting in September is the best.
@@matsfreedom I would like to sometime hunt with a guy that uses falcons, that would be fun to be a part of! I have a relative in Colorado that I may hunt Blues with in the future, in Colorado that is.
@@fidiusjwhoopie the camera angle makes it look like that yes, I almost left that clip out but I know how far above her I was, sometimes the camera angle is a little deceiving.
@@naturejoes I’ve never shot a porkie and have had Shilo get into 2 of them. The rattler was different, one dog had his face inches away and had that thing moved the dogs most likely would have pursued it….or I definitely would not have shot it.
@@timwagenmanuplandadventure8270 You did the right thing with that many dogs on the ground no matter what the armchair TH-cam hunters say! Dog safety first! Anyone that says its a training issue doesn't have dogs worthy of being on the ground hunting in the first place. That prey drive needs to be there.
I hunt, have a dog, she has found several rattlers and even grabbed one, the snake wants nothing to do with the dogs. It is a training issue, you just going to shoot anything that might hurt your dog? Glad you’re not shooting porcupines.
Great job all around.
Nice shooting.

Well done!

What kind of setup do you have for your videos
Majority of everything I do is on the Go Pro.
Glad to see you back out there. I hate snakes.

@@marklorimor6672 Badlands are typically rocky, steep, hilly country with lots of bare areas with rock ledges etc.

No point in shooting the rattler. Used to like this channel. You probably shoot porcupines for no reason as well. So disappointing.
