If you’ve watched Wingshooting USA, you watch a “BuddyCam” feature in each episode … camera mounted on the dog, seeing things from HIS point of view, literally. Well, it’s time to find out what YOU would like to learn from this opportunity. What’s been gnawing at you … in terms of what a dog sees (or doesn’t)? Have you ever wondered what it looks like from dog level? What hunting or training situation would you like to see, from your dog’s perspective?
Here’s an example:
Give me your suggestions, and maybe we’ll use them on the show! Thanks.
I would like to see Scott wearing Blaze Orange. Safety is critical and to see a TV host with no Blaze Orange is simply stupid. Don’t be a bad example. Please wear Blaze Orange. Thanks.
Working on it Randall! You will see more as the season progresses, and the shows we’re shooting now for next year are full of it.
You hunt lots of narrow stretches of food plots and heavily birded areas (I know, it is good for the show). But it isn’t what most of us hunt. My property is wide and open, and I frequently hunt it with just my Spinone (no other dogs or hunters). I’d love to know how to best hunt these big areas with only a couple of hunters.
You’ll see plenty of open ground this season, Allen. From sage grouse to sharptails, we did plenty of walking in sparse vegetation with just one or two dogs. It’s been my experience that you can only cover so much ground, when the horizon seems endless. But even within a vast sea of sage or grass, there are birdy looking spots: high spots (sharpies love them); taller sage; a green patch, low spot, draws, trees, creeks … something that’s different. Water and shade on hot days are bird magnets. Just know you’ll never see all the birds as many will sneak out of the swath you’re hunting, and you’ll be fine. Good luck! Send a photo of your Spin.
