Default RE: My shortest hunt was...

My shortest hunt was 7 minutes flat. My dad and I went on a pheasant hunt about 6 years ago. Our black GSP was about 1 year old at the time and we wanted to see how he could handle pheasants. At the time my white/liver GSP was about 6 and in his prime. We had just let the dogs out and the older GSP was on point immediately in a tree line. 1 bird down. While the pup was retrieving the first bird, the older GSP was already on point again. The pup eagerly retrieved that bird as well. Two more quick points and we were done. Had our 4 pheasant limit in 7 minutes andduring the short walk back to the truck through the field we had 2 more points and let to let those birds go! My older GSP was literally on point before the birds we shot even hit the ground. I was thinking to myself that this could very well be the hunt where my dog points another bird with one already in his mouth....but no such luck. I can only imagine how easy the pup thought pheasant hunting was! haha. That was by far one of the most impressive hunt I've ever been on. We didn't get the bird work that we wanted for the pup so ran down south to a preserve and put young'n on some chukar and pheasants.....we kept the older one in the house to prevent thisfrom happening again! The pup did just as we expected....very good!

EDIT: Sorry, I forgot I was in the bowhunting forum! haha
