Lady Bird Hunters

So you thought bird hunting was just for the guys. Here is Krisy on her first season at "Camp Shorthair" We just finished unloading our gear for the 2 month long season. I will be adding many more photos of our adventure, along with some funny tales on our trip. She is now totally addicted and is getting her very own pup in spring.

A Humorous Blog About German Shothairs

When we decided to start this blog about our adventures with our shorthairs, we decided not to make it about training and breeding or sales. We just want to share some of our fun in the Wisconsin North woods with these wonderful dogs. We are not breeders or field trialers, just bird hunters. On here we will be posting many of our travels this bird season with the dogs. So stay tuned, we have many more articles to post and some great hunting photos as well. Thanks for stopping by.

Outdoor Cooking With German Shorthairs

When your at bird camp it's hard not to have some help at the grill. Our pointers are very good cooks, at least that's what they think. It sometimes is hard for Krisy to get dinner done with all the help. Keep an eye on the help too, things seem to disappear from the menu.

Camp Shorthair

This is bird camp for us this year. Located in the Wisconsin Northwoods. From here we travel the area to some of our favorite hot spots for Grouse and Woodcock. This year has been especially warm, but the birds are plentiful. The dogs love the camping as much as we do.

German Shorthairs and 2011 Bird Camp

This is bird camp for 2011. We found this remote spot in Northern Wisconsin and called it home. The dogs love it here, and we are miles from the nearest blacktop road. The hunting is great, we cook over an open fire, maybe we should offer this as a service for the bird hunters. Just bring your dog and we do the rest.

Wisconsin Grouse Season

Grouse season opened this past weekend. It was way too hot for any long hunts. Seemed to be a lot of birds this year, but the leaves are still on the trees making shooting really tough. The streams have plenty of water in them this year. Past years it has been very dry. Not as many hunters though, maybe the economy is keeping them closer to home.

Hunting Vest From LL Bean

Are you looking for that new hunting vest for bird season? Have a look at this one from LL Bean. Waxed Cotton, durable at a great price for a waxed cotton vest. Plenty of pockets too. I had to have it.
