She is huge for 5 months compared to mine atleast!

LOL! I know. smile

My Morgan is a 'He' and he was 55lbs at the vet about 2-1/2 to 3 weeks ago. I'm sure he's a solid 60-65lbs right now. He just turned 5 months, birthday was June 22.

He's my first hunting dog and I can not believe how driven he is. Driven means hyper right now, sheesh. smile I'm taking him to obedience training starting next week and I think I'm going to need to get him to a hunting trainer soon as well. I think he's got it as I took him out to our deer hunting area this weekend for a walk and he stayed out in front of me for the most part and tracked side to side like he knew what he was doing. Didn't flush any birds as there may be 4-5 pheasants on the entire property.

I figured out this weekend why guys like hunting over dogs so much. I was proud of him and I wasn't even carrying a gun.

Nice looking dog hanson. He'll start to settle in between 6 and 7 months.

I've had mine out in the fields about 7 times now but on public land only and we didn't raise a bird yet. But the experience is paying off big time. She is working scent trails and crossing the area then looks back for direction. If they got the instinct they will do great as they get more experience in the younger years.

I'm taking mine back to a hunt club tomorrow to work some released pheasants so she doesn't loose interest and remembers what we're out there for. 16 hours of walking with no birds...gotta keep the pups interest up.

smile He's got some seriously thick hair! Really calm dog, and seems to be getting more excited about chasing dummies so thats a plus. This is my first hunting dog, so I'm trying to do everything right, though I know I'm not... He's a great pup though!

He is a nice looking dog.

Just keep up with the consistent training and get him onto some live birds in a couple months from a hunt club and that will really spark his interest.

Lady lounging on the yard.

Beautifull pics. of all your dogs everyone.

Here he is in chronological order, from "light switch mode" on up to adolescent knucklehead.

By light switch I mean, 100 mph for about an hour, then wherever he falls is where he sleeps for 30 minutes. Rinse and repeat. I miss those days sincerely. Very memorable.

Now he's all legs, energy, and just loves to roll around at the dog park. Goes to bird training in a couple months. He's about 7 mo's now, I'd guess 50-55 pounds.

I give you Tango.

Light switch off.

Sorry, late to the party. But I didn't belong to the forum back when this thread was hot. I felt the lack of Golden's needed to be addressed.

This is "Havoc", He'll be 11 the end of May.

Here's a couple of him, a little younger.

New to this site. This is my Tri-colored (French) Brittany, Archie. He will be 10 months on April 10. Started hunting him at 5 months with some friends' short-hairs. He took to it beautifully from the very start, he is a pointing machine. We have shot a lot of pheasants and chuckars over him already but the retreiving is hit or miss. I guess it gives me something to work on until fall when we get back after pheasants/chuckars/grouse. Any good tips on fetch training a pointer will be appreciated.

Let's see if I can figure out this picture posting stuff...

      Might not have to wear ear plugs when I mow!      That’s a spendy one.  It wasn’t hard to find one of those for $6k.  Comparatively and Ariens of the same size is $4,200.  A home owner grade JD for $3,900.  You could get into a commercial grade Z700 for maybe $8k.   I think the work I did today with mine would’ve killed that one there.

      On the south end...   This year's MN Fishing Opener weekend was not only great weather wise, the walleyes and saugers were caught in good numbers.  A main fish gut hauler working with a number of resorts commented it was one of the most productive opening weekends he has seen based on the amount of fish guts collected after the weekend. The goto presentation was a jig and frozen emerald shiner.  Emerald shiners are a staple in LOW and walleyes love them.  Other minnows worked also, but emerald shiners are a favorite of anglers for good reason.   Four Mile Bay held good walleyes in 12 - 18'.  Not a surprise as the walleye bite on the river during the spring season was good and as of late, sturgeon anglers have been reporting catching walleyes on sturgeon rigs.   The Lighthouse Gap area, Morris Point Gap and just in front of Pine Island held nice fish in 12 - 15'.  Across the south shore, 18 - 22' was holding good numbers as well.  As you can see, there are lots of fish around.     A quarter ounce jig in gold, glow white, pink, orange, chartreuse, or a combo of these colors tipped with a minnow worked well.   As a reminder, the limit of walleyes and saugers is a combined limit of six fish, up to four of the six can be walleyes.  All walleyes between 19.5 - 28.0 inches must be released.  One fish over 28.0 inches can be kept.  The possession limit in MN is one daily limit of fish. On the Rainy River...  Some nice walleyes were caught on the river this weekend, although most anglers hit the lake.  10 - 15' of water was the norm.     Sturgeon fishing on the Rainy River has been excellent.  The catch and release season continues through May 15th and then closes until the keep season starts up again July 1st. Up at the NW Angle...  Some nice walleyes were caught in 18 - 25 feet of water, a little deeper than anticipated.  Points were good as were areas with structure.  The morning and evening bite was best.       As water continues to warm, go to spots for walleyes will be neck down areas, shoreline breaks, points and bays.     The goto presentation was a jig and minnow.
