Pheasants And Chukar Hit Hard In Pennsylvania

Went on a special bird hunt at a local game farm in Pennsylvania. Two of us filled the truck with birds with heavy shooting. New dog found droves of birds as I put down 17 birds. Amazing time and great day for the dog. Dog got lots of scent and learned quickly how to locate birds. She did great locating, tracking, and retrieving birds. Very impressed as she is just 7 months old. Good Chesapeake Bay Retriever instincts at work.

Bluebills Hit Hard With Steel On Presque Isle

Went out for an early morning hunt on Presque Isle. Got into a flock of Bluebills with some hunting buddies and hit them hard. One large group of birds decoyed and we smacked them. Rest of day was very slow with unseasonal warm temps for November in Erie PA. Still waiting for a snow storm!

Scaup And Bufflehead Duck Hunting Lake Erie

Went out for a early duck hunt on Lake Erie. Lots of sun and warmer temps. Not a great duck day, but was able to knock down two birds. Drake bufflehead and a hen Scaup. Duck hunting should get much better as the weather worsens.

Fall Perch Action On Lake Erie

Decided to try something different. Had a beautiful Sunday for November in Erie PA. Went down to the Bay to try for perch. Most anglers are targeting Steelhead at this time in the tribs, but why not perch? Had constant bite with perch being landed easily. Caught at least 30 perch in a couple of hours. Only kept 4 of any eating size though. Had fun with the bite and my son caught several on his own. Fall is a great time to fish the shoreline as the water temp is dropping and the fish are hungry feeding before winter.

Chesapeake Bay Retriever Finds First Ringnecks

Took my new 7 month old puppy to a local Erie County gameland to do some late season pheasant hunting. She did well and found some beautiful ringnecks. She worked hard all morning, learning scent skills and becoming more aggressive on birds. Looks to be a great hunter and will do even better next year.
