He and I bought littermates together.
I was training mine to hunt and talked him in into training his as well.
He had never hunted a day in his life. He started training his dog, which lead to getting his hunter safety and a shotgun.
His first time out was on a hunting trip to Kansas for pheasants in 2006.
Since that time he has been on nearly a dozen more Midwest bird hunting trips, he hunts regularly near his home, he owns his 3rd bird hunting dog and has 5 shotguns.
It all started with the dog.
The best part of bird hunting is watching the dogs do their thing. The instincts in them are so strong.
You may find that you really enjoy it.
