I like it when I am deer hunting and the dogs come through, it gets the deer on their feet and concentrates them in areas where the dogs don't go.

And we are still putting up birds..Nov 16th ...even put a couple grouse!

To nice of a day to be at home so grabbed the dogs and headed for Hullet as it never fails to entertain. Today was no exception as saw it all today the good , the bad, and the ugly.
The good
Put Nova down and he got right to work finding 5-6 woodcock. Only problem none really want to fly. Took considerable effort to get them up as they rather run around the dog than take off. Managed 2 one of which is the smallest bird I've seen. After we got our fill took Nova into the fields and see if any pheasants were around unfortunately the cupboard were bare. Talked to a couple of other hunters and they to agreed nothing about. Got back to the jeep and took out my BYOP and put them out. Stella enjoyed the run and seem to reward me with an encounter with a grouse where I was able to lay eyes on it.
The bad
Guess someone got tired of their rooster and thought it a good ideal to set it free at Hullet. With Stella's help did my best Rocky impersonation and rounded up the bird. Going to make a fine soup.
The Ugly
Got to the end Conservation Rd lot 406550 just in time to see a couple guys pot a pheasant in the closed youth hunt zone. Pulled into the lot got out and waved the guys over. They came out to ask whats up to which I pointed to the public notice sign of the closure. They tried to play the honest mistake as they didn't "see" the signs. Thats when the third guy came out to which couldn't help notice the nice new FOH cap. Had all the excuses
1. been hunting here 30 years
2. called and verified it was only the 18th
3 . no kids around so was good too go.
Pointed to the sign read closed 18th and 19th and advised everyone should be aware and follow the rules regardless their affiliation.

Sounds like an interesting day! I like the bonus rooster. Too bad about the other nonsense, at least you have something to show for the effort and the dogs had a good day.

Nice work.

Was fishing the other day on the walleye closer in the kawarthas the guy next to me had no clue about balsam lake having a complete different slot size.

I've fished it 15 years and I still check every year for all the lakes I fish. Some people just don't seem to be that responsible lol.

you give'em too much credit. They KNOW the rules they just choose to ignore them knowing they won't be caught
