My vizsla Gus and I hunted stocked pheasants and chukars yesterday with some friends at our gun club. Snow was falling steadily during the hunt, and I was curious to see how Gus would react.
It was evident that the falling snow and the snow on the ground was keeping the bird scent close to the ground. Gus pointed a lot of birds, but several flushed while he was trying to get closer to them. It seemed like in some cases Gus had to be right on top of the birds to smell them.
Four guys hunted over him, and I think each of us harvested at least 3 birds. Check out the video.
Feedback Requested: Possible Dog Seizures?
Unfortunately, Gus had another health episode about 2 hours into the hunt. This has happened several times in the past, so I am bringing him to the vet again ASAP.
Here’s what is happening.
