Sometimes a dog will go on point a long way out from a bird. If I can’t find what my dog is pointing, I’ll say “alright” which allows them to break the point, get closer and point again. It’s tough for a dog to do without bumping birds. Creed is a master at it thanks to the outstanding training he got from Derrick at Jump Creek Kennels.

I’m pretty sure Creed pointed every bird in this covey without bumping any of them.

Spent yesterday evening on the Kootenai with Silas. I’m going to miss him when he leaves next week.

It’s haying season again … and it’s exhausting.

This was his first big game animal. We’d practiced positional shooting extensively, talked a lot about shot placement and strategies to remain calm when the time came.

We’d spotted the boar after hours of sitting and glassing the hillside, then climbed 2100’ in 2 miles to come in above it with the wind at our back. We slowly slipped down, glassing every opening until we spotted the boar only 60 yards away.

My buddy chambered a round as I set up my trekking poles with the Quick-stix. He settled in, waited for the bear to turn and made a great shot.

This was classic spring bear hunting and a great way to become a big game hunter.

*my buddy is now one of many who’ve seen their positional shooting massively improve by switching to a Rokstok. It’s as close as I’ve found to a perfect stock.

A leucistic whitetail is a white-tailed deer with a rare genetic condition causing partial pigment loss, resulting in all-white or pale fur, but unlike albinos, they possess normal brown eyes, dark noses, and normal hooves. While they lack the poor eyesight of albinos, their white coats make them vulnerable to predators and less common in the wild.

We’ve had 2 of them visiting Overdale every evening for the last month. One has of them only has a small white patch above her tail.
