Mouser. I didn't read all the replies, but it seems to be a general consensus for you to get her in the timber. Start with walks in the woods just to show her sign and trails and explore. Then try scouting for a day, sitting in one spot without a lot of conversation. Take her out early for the birds coming off the roost and evening for the roosting. Make sure you take her to the timber when tick season starts, so she will know that experience too....LOL Above all else, if she enjoys it, let her know that there will be times when you may just want to hit the timber by yourself, so she will not be offended that you don't want her to come. Maybe even set her up in a differant spot than you are sitting, so she can experience what it is that you love about being in the timber all alone with nature. Lastly, teach her to call for you so she can set-up behind you and the birds will pass you on their way to her calling...LOL [8D]
