Great job! I’ve been watching some of your vids today. So great to see younger guys so passionate about upland hunting, dog training and good dog work. Love how you work the woods and the dogs. Giving the younger dogs patience and praise. Wish I was further north in NH or ME to get into more birds like you get in the north woods of MI. Thanks for bringing us along. Good work promoting responsible upland hunting. 👍🏻
Shity dog work, he keeps telling that woe. There by giving way his position. That dog should point. That what a pointer suppose to do, and he keeps graving at birds. What if you wanted to mount one of those birds all you get is a pile shit and Fethers?
@@horizanadventures Way to encourage a younger enthusiastic hunter and dog owner. 1/2 full brother, 1/2 full! Have a better day than you were having when you wrote this comment!
@@horizanadventures shitty dog work? I don’t know, I’d run my dogs any day against that short hair you’re basically beating to stand still in your videos.
Just tuned in today to this video, as it popped up o my list; Fantastic footage and story line! That's great that you can pull in a camper to where you can hunt and camp in the same area! And to be able to go with your buddies is the absolute best! Kind of a "warm-up" to deer camp, I Imagine! Thanks for making the video; this "old timer" appreciates it! ~Lou
I just came across your channel. Very cool video and dog work! My Brittany is seven months old and having a great puppy season in northern Maine so far. My first bird dog so him and I are learning together!
That's awesome to hear man! Good luck to you and your Britt the rest of the season, you guys are going to be having a lot more fun over the next few years. Thanks for following along!
20 gauge, English-style, side-by-side! I couldn't tell if it was single or double triggers. No matter. This brings back a lot of memories. Best and many hits.
I just found this currently in MI waiting for next weekends opener. My English springer Spaniel Bert is biting at the bit😊. Is the one dog a Brittany im assuming? I love the content. Getting me fired up
Do ''Dead bird" is an order that Amber was trained with? She seems to fetch naturally ? Is it more difficult in dense wood or in open fields? Brittany seems to work close to his mater than other breeds.
The bell gives you a play by play real time of what the dog is doing and how its working a bird when it cant be seen in heavy cover. The bell is situational, I don't always use it. When we hunt in the thick grouse woods, it helps keep track of the dog and how its working a bird if it makes contact. If we're in open prairies I don't run a bell because I can see the dog with my own eyes.

Great video. Hoping to bring my own Brittany up to northern Michigan this fall sometime in October as well.
Awesome video. Just got my first Grouse yesterday which is awesome. Was wondering what loads you shoot?
Thats awesome dude - congrats! I shoot 7.5's this time of year. Nothing special, just any game/target load I find.
Excellent Content and Gotta Luv Them Bird DOGS 🐶 !!!!!
Amen to that!
What chokes are best for hunting Ruff Grouse and Woodcock with a 20GA in that terrain?
Very good dog work! Can’t wait till my dog polishes her points, she’s still busting but she’s having a ball. Cheers!
Thank you! Keep running her into birds and she'll get it figured out!
That was awesome are grouse are gone in upstate NY I miss it,great dogs
Dang it man, I have heard that. Habitat is everything. Keep fighting.
good fun in the woods and good dogs.
We try and have a good time! Thanks George!
Great work by those dogs and great shooting by the camera man.
Thanks Richard!
great looking dogs. What gps setup are you using? garmin watch and transmitter?
Thank you! I run the Garmin Instinct watch paired to my GPS handheld and tracking collar. All Garmin.
WOW!!! that was your ""one Ina million"" with that bird hanging on the branch!!!
I've heard of it happening before, but never seen it myself!
What dog gps collar are you using? Nice dogs and nice video. Thanks for sharing and happy hunting

Beautiful dog work and good shooting
Thanks Rob!
Do you use a 20 or 12 for most of your upland hunting?
Where I live you can shoot that many in a few hours
Just curious as to why the bells are on the dogs necks?they don't use them in my part of the world
The bell gives you a play by play real time of what the dog is doing and how its working a bird when it cant be seen in heavy cover. The bell is situational, I don't always use it.

@@UplanderLifestyle righto thanks👍
What chokes and loads do you use in your 20 gauge SxS?
Barrel 1 is an IC and Barrel 2 is a Mod. Ive been shooting 7.5's this time of year.

Do you train your own dogs or what? I'm impressed.
