The eyes say it all. "Dude, seriously, put down the damn camera. We are into birds and they are just running further away as we dork around here. Can I go now?" . . . #llewllinsetter #pheasanthunting #uplandtradition #uplandgame #englishsetter #hunt #hunting #birdhunting #birddog #washington #uplandinc #outdoors #washingtonhunting #huntingwashington #whatgetsyououtdoors #uplandhunting #pointingdogs #palouse #pheasant #lcsmith #wingshooting #chasingtheflush

I don't know what it was about this bird that made his rump feathers glow such a brilliant blue, but I have never seen this brilliance on any other rooster. At first, I thought its was just the lighting adjustment on the photo, but turning him under the shop lights while cleaning him, he lit up just like this. He was this year's bird and appeared to be molting with new feathers coming in. . . . #llewllinsetter #pheasanthunting #uplandtradition #uplandgame #englishsetter #hunt #hunting #birdhunting #birddog #washington #uplandinc #outdoors #washingtonhunting #huntingwashington #whatgetsyououtdoors #uplandhunting #pointingdogs #palouse #pheasant #lcsmith #wingshooting #chasingtheflush

Happy Thanksgiving folks! Plenty to give thanks for on this bountiful holiday. I hope you all made Thanksgiving memories of your own with friends and family! ▫️ The #lcsmith finally made an appearance over some fine dog work by Ms. Finnigan. We put up five roosters, two held for Finn. One escaped, one didn't. Zeta hunted up a rooster of her own, but flushed him. . . . #llewllinsetter #pheasanthunting #uplandtradition #uplandgame #englishsetter #hunt #hunting #birdhunting #birddog #washington #uplandinc #outdoors #washingtonhunting #huntingwashington #whatgetsyououtdoors #uplandhunting #pointingdogs #palouse #pheasant #cz #wingshooting #chasingtheflush

Tail feathers and wind towers. The main ingredients of a pheasant hunt on the Palouse. . . . #llewllinsetter #pheasanthunting #uplandtradition #uplandgame #englishsetter #hunt #hunting #birdhunting #birddog #washington #uplandinc #outdoors #washingtonhunting #huntingwashington #whatgetsyououtdoors #uplandhunting #pointingdogs #palouse #pheasant #cz #wingshooting #chasingtheflush

"Give your pup the benefit of the doubt." I should take my own advice more often. The past two seasons I have hunted Zeta on some of the best hunts of my upland career and it seemed she learned nothing. But this weekend, a bird dog was born. ▪️ She transformed from random flushing, to scenting, then pointing. For the first time she tracked and pointed afield, pushing up one rooster, then pinning a hen and two roosters, one of which I shot over her. I couldn't be more proud. She learned a lot from Finn this fall, who has been absolutely killing it at 7 years old. ▪️ In my @uplander_lifestyle blog "Time, Birds and Faith", I discuss how each of these influences the dog and the critical confidence the handler must have to let genetics, training and bird exposure work their magic. If your young pup is not performing at the level you think it should, or you have doubts about their overall development and need a little reassurance, click the link in my bio, and rest assured, your pup will come around (particularly if you're a first-time setter parent). . . . #llewllinsetter #pheasanthunting #uplandtradition #uplandgame #englishsetter #hunt #hunting #birdhunting #birddog #washington #uplandinc #outdoors #washingtonhunting #huntingwashington #whatgetsyououtdoors #uplandhunting #pointingdogs #palouse #pheasant #cz #wingshooting #chasingtheflush #tailfeathersupland

Who else is ready to chase some roosters this weekend? . . . #llewllinsetter #pheasanthunting #uplandtradition #uplandgame #englishsetter #hunt #hunting #birdhunting #birddog #washington #uplandinc #outdoors #washingtonhunting #huntingwashington #whatgetsyououtdoors #uplandhunting #pointingdogs #palouse #pheasant #cz #wingshooting #chasingtheflush
