I'd rather work Gunner on retrieves than shoot. A large part of the enjoyment for me is simply watching the dogs do their thing.

If love could have saved you, you would have lived forever.
Missing you my great friend.

I'm very careful with Gunner on those hot days. I have plenty of cool water and will throw his ass in my air conditioned truck in a skinny minute if I see the slightest sign of him getting hot. It ain't worth a dog dying over and if he has to stay in the truck for a while during the hunt, so be it.
And I ain't the best shot, but I still manage to kill a few most days. Some days I can't hit the broadside of a barn though.

If I can't find shade I bring a camp umbrella I place in the dirt. I sit on a igloo cooler sprayed black.
Pace your shots to allow rest. Don't let a dog break and fetch other peoples birds. I wastes valuable energy and increases the likelihood of overheating.
Watch your bird fall. Help the dog if necessary to avoid the prolonged search.
Avoid sitting by beans and cotton.
Locate a pond and sit near it if possible.
Massage water into the top of the head.
Restrain the dog and pick up a few if necessary to let it cool down.

That's a lot of birds duck tape. We've got plenty birds right now as well but some have scattered with all the corn fields being cut.
U serious Clark?
I enjoy dove season. I enjoy taking my dog. I dont worry about him, though. He's a dog. Its hot. He's been hot before. Go pick up my dead shit and dont bug me. And, NO, I'm not gonna work on training you while its dove season. I like to shoot shit.
I am sure many of you are surprised by this....
Ugh. Stupid people piss me off.
Looks like there are a few reps angry at the way this limit change went down. Might spell trouble for the board continuing to have this privilege.
Not sure the general public is very aware of change either.

Nothing like ignoring a survey with a sample size of 755 for a sample size of 94 because it says what you want it to...
If anything those surveys show that more research into it is needed if they want to figure out what people really want. It does make you wonder why the surveys came up with such different results, even though the sample sizes are very different you would think the results would still be a little bit closer

Interesting topic for sure.
Twelve birds are plenty. It lets everyone shoot a "limit" and get out of the field quickly so the remaining birds can feed unmolested.
