The brown and white pup is one I took to Germany to be trained from my last litter, Emmy's. She is 8.5 months old. She is by the fire in his home.

This is the translation of what the trainer wrote to me when he sent these 3 videos.

"Hello Jim, here are a few current videos of Eva, she is developing well, I am currently training obedience, retrieving and the field fan, hare trail, where she was yesterday. Pointing on the hare and the pheasant is getting better and better."

The magical hour before sunset!
The South Dakota temperatures were above the end of last week. I got a couple KlM out for the last hour on Friday. It was sunny and the wind was not blowing at the 25mph with gust to 40mph as it had earlier in the week. The edge of this CRP field next to the crop field is usually good late in the day. The birds have usually been feeding and enter the CRP to roost. I took Tikka, 11 and Lee 8 months. You can watch the results in the video…a 45 minute walk edited down to 8 minutes. 😊 You will notice the girls got amped up once we found and shot the first birds. I put them down several times after that for 2 reasons. To calm them down and for me to catch my breath since they were moving pretty fast. You see them tracking down the sprayer wheel track, so I knew there was birds ahead of us. Also, the way the CRP field lays we walk it is into a point, so any running birds get squeezed into that point. We walk the ditch at the end cause if they did not stop at the point they usually will stop in the ditch if they have not already flushed. I bought this piece in 1995 so after almost 30 years we kind of know how to hunt it…usually. LOL I was also trying out a newer model Gopro and I am happy with the overall video quality of the footage.
I hope you enjoy this rough video.

Feeling a little philosophic after thanksgiving. I posted this a number of years ago. It hangs on my garage next to my dog kennels. I find it more relevant, to a lot of things, every time I read it.
So I am posting it again!

philosopher’s stone

There is a difference between knowledge and information, but for the new hunter, both appear to be in short supply.
There are no shortcuts to knowledge. Information, unlike knowledge, is transferrable, yet good information can be hard to come by.
It seems people hold a surplus of good information but are slow to part with a fragment.

Recently, I spoke to an old hunter about a hunting area I had found. First, I had discovered this area for myself; then, because of the aggregate of my hunting experiences paralleling his own, we shared information (as well as knowledge). He ended with, “Never ever tell anyone what I told you. We earned our stripes; let them earn theirs.”

The new hunter must come to knowledge through experience- (simply gaining information, on the other hand, is as easy as sifting through the gravel for gold on YouTube.)

The quality of your wilderness and species-specific knowledge will depend on your commitment to the land you hunt, your awareness level, and accumulated observations.

Another vital factor is memory, and to aid that, you might consider keeping a detailed hunting journal. The process will take time. Never fear; you will get there in time.

It’s kind of like being a Christian. You don’t get the good stuff until you are on the inside. Or like being a father. Anyone can opine on fatherhood, but it has to be experienced firsthand, or it’s second-hand tripe.

If you have ever used an indoor shooting range (or have been arrested😉), you may have passed through a sally port before entering the secured area. A sally port controls entry into a secured space using synchronously locked doors. Only after the door behind you locks will the door before you unlock.

We learn many essential things in this way. Which is why I said there are no (or few) shortcuts.

For example, a boy wishes to know things about his father that he can never understand until he matures and becomes a father. His questions remain until his experience answers them for him. (The answers to the questions of a boy are given only to the man. He knows his father when he becomes a father, and not before.)

If you wish to become an accomplished hunter, you will, in time, become one. It just takes time. You will become “that guy,” never fear. But you will only become “that guy” by taking his requisite journey.

It will take a dangerous river crossing or a few cold nights alone in the woods. You will wound and lose a deer. Don't imagine you can get there without making mistakes. You don't get to graduate without making mistakes.

We cannot pass through the door leading to freedom and expertise until the doors behind become locked. When you can no longer return to the man (or woman) you once were, you will be the one you wished to become.

Blast From the Past!
2006 Thanksgiving and the pheasant harvesting machine was hitting on all cylinders. My 3 Sons, Re*****on 870 pump shotguns, Kleine Munsterlanders all around, beautiful South Dakota weather, good pheasant numbers and CRP with food plots. :-) 2006 through 2009 were recent Good Old Days for South Dakota pheasant numbers.

The South Dakota weather forecast, for the balance of this week, was for colder and blustery which means windy, 15 to 20 mph with gust to 35+mph. So, I got all my girls out to hunt pheasants the day before the weather changed.
Halfway through the day I realized what I was doing. I was hunting Mother/Daughter pairs. Emmy & Lee (8 months old) and Tikka & Cass (7 years old).
It was great! We got into more birds at home than I have seen for many years. Consecutive mild winters help a lot!
We shot a limit over each pair. I took this picture together so I would not be accused of using the same birds for both Mother/Daughter pairs. 😉 LOL

I am cleaning the garage and my pickup after the 2024 pup hunt this last weekend. Organizing and loading the pickup to leave Friday for Aberdeen to hunt pheasants with friends from Alaska and Idaho. Tuning everyone up a bit while I load and for the next hunt. They have not had much in field time this fall so far. That is about to change and they need to be on their game and understand who is in charge.😁😉😂

This has hung in my home office for well over a decade.
Seems even more fitting today after the recent election.
I have seen the results of the recent election referred to in this way:

2024 Litter Pup Hunt, South Dakota Pheasants: DAY 2
EVERYTHING CAME TOGETHER NICELY! The sun came out, the grass dried off and the wind was just the right speed and direction for scenting.
Since I had been traveling my CRP and wetlands had not been disturbed for 2 months. Thus, birds we calmer, especially on Sunday because the wind was much lower. Obviously, I salted the fields with some liberated roosters, also.
I have done this a number of times before with young KlM and inexperienced pheasant hunter handlers. Especially handlers inexperienced with pointing dogs.
Pretty much the whole time each dog and handler were hunting in an area by themselves, separate from other handlers and their dogs. Thus, everyone could concentrate on their dog and themselves and not have to deal with distractions from other hunters and their dogs.
In my opinion and experience, what we accomplished in 2 days what would take a season or more for most young dogs and inexperienced handlers to learn.
To begin with I had not asked enough questions to understand several of them did not know who should flush the bird, the dog or the handler. We got that straightened out. Everyone learned how their dog acts when it is birdie, they learned to trust their dog on where the wounded bird went and where it is located (there is a tremendously funny story related to this and if the person involved OK's it, I will post the video I recorded of them telling the story including all the antics.) Over the weekend you could watch the pups expand their search and develop their search by using their nose and the wind. They all improved their marking and tracking. However, they were not successful finding a lost set of keys in the field (yet another story from the weekend).
Both the handler and I were well pleased with the progress made.

2024 Litter Pup Hunt, South Dakota Pheasants: DAY 1 Rainy, kind of windy, but a decent temperature. Everyone was totally soaked by the end of the day. the owners were smiling and the pups will sleep really well.

Four of this spring Julson Kennel litter returned to their birth place. And of course they brought their owners along. The purpose was to introduce them to as many pheasants as they could stand. Turn on their genetics. I try to do this with each of my litters. Many times not everyone can make it. But those that do go home with KlM who understand or realize what they were born to do. Their owners get an education also! LOL.
Four pups and owners made it this year.
We take some of the cleaned and de-BBed to a local Mexican Restaurant where they replace the chicken in any of their dishes with the pheasant. It is always a big hit! Especially after a day in the field.

Cass knows my MO. I was getting things ready to take dogs on the airlines. This is the kennel I use to fly dogs. She was loose in the garage. She voluntarily walked over and laid down in the kennel. She gave me the," your not leaving without me," look.
