![]() I used to get mad, now I just laugh when I read about some expert going on about turkey dogs, and why this should not be allowed. Where some people come up with their ideas is beyond me. I have spring hunted for years, but people either have forgotten, or never knew that the fall hunt has a much, much longer tradition than the spring. You see folks; it is the spring hunting that sells all the calls, all the camo, and all the other goodies. But as they say, I digress, this is about our canine buds, not spring and fall. I will say one more thing, the fall hunt will never be as popular as the spring (fine by me!) because plain and simple, the fall hunt is A LOT more work. Mostly a lot more walking than most of today’s hunters want to do. Also in case you haven't noticed, the turkey is not sitting out there on a limb telling the world where he is! ![]() The origin of the turkey dog was a quail dog that did not want to point. If she also wanted to bark when she flushed, then you really had something. We always blind break our dogs, as we want them with us when we're calling, and because we aren't going back to the truck when we're a mile away. ![]() |

Jesse wrote an article which they printed. It has a picture of us and the dogs. It's in the “young hunter” feature. ![]() ![]() ![]() |
