Here is a flooded cornfield near several tree lines that we use to teach edge running and is very useful for getting young dogs on birds.
We had rain off and on for 2 days. The wallows and roadside ditches are full of water and low spots in the fields have 6 inches of standing water. I walked a couple miles today instead of running through sloppy muck and we saw deer, antelope and of course birds! Pheasants, sharp tail and huns.
Work is progressing well, and the dogs and horses are content. I will drive up to Ft Yates, ND possibly on Tuesday and get my dog training permits from the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe. While there we may stop by get get our training birds if they are ready - if not we will get them as scheduled on the 11th of July.
Due to the rain our roads are impassable so we will not be going to Mobridge to watch the fireworks show.

Hey Keith,
ReplyDeleteSo are all the birds already hatched there? We had lots of rain and I've seen newborn chicks the last couple days plus there are birds paired back up?
Regards
Gary
I have seen some young birds but not many yet. Could be in deep shelter belts since we are very wet and cover is green.
