Thanks! He's turned out to be a real good looking dog, even though he has different colored eyes. He is too smart..... |

SawyerBD, Welcome aboard. Glad you found VAturkey or they found you. Looking forward to seeing more of your posts in the future. Maybe you and pup will get into some fall turkeys this year. Fall turkey hunting with a dog is hard to beat. Your line about a smart dog reminded me what famed bird dog trainer Rick Smith said at one of his training seminars (in Franklin Co. a few years ago actually) and that was. "The worst thing about these dogs is that they're so smart. And the best thing about these dogs is that they're so smart." Have fun and keep the posts rolling in. |

We are going to try for some fall turkeys. I have a great area for it on some remote public land. Hopefully the turkeys are still in there like they have been the last few falls.. And Rick Smith was right, this little dog is some kind of smart. Stubborn too...I might "own" him, but he is 'The Boss'. He's pulled the smart card on me a few times, but I have caught on now. Hopefully we have some time to hunt this fall, there is a baby due in my house Nov 15! My wife promises that she won't say a word about us hunting on the weekends! We'll see.... |

John, Congrats on the new little one one the way. If it's your first, bank some sleep now. If it's not, you already know this. My wife had our second on Nov. 24th last year. Out of the depths of her big heart I actually managed a decent amount of Saturday morning waterfowl hunts. You will do just fine. Welcome aboard once again. |

Great pics. Love the Boykins. One of the better turkey dogs I have known. Great family dog and you are right, very smart dogs. I had a female (Jen) wanted nothing more then to please you. Best to you with the fall turkeys, and welcome aboard. And congratulations to you and the wife on your first one. Earl |

Well it's been an eventful fall. Our daughter arrived a week late, Nov 22. Rather than push my luck with my wife, I took some hunting and work time off to be at home and help her get adjusted. What a big change..I couldn't have got up at 3am to hunt even if I wanted to for a couple weeks. Then I was offered a job in Ohio the second week in December. We decided to take the leap of faith, but it didn't pan out for us. We just didn't like the area as much as where we live now. So I came home and we got back to hunting. Its been slow, and I haven't put in the scouting or hunting time I normally do. There isn't much food around though, so not many birds sticking anyhow. We are still managing a few... - Pup with a hen surf scoter shot at a Virginia Lake - The Hen Surf - Long retrieve on a goose - 'Nother goose - Open water hunt - A PUFF drake - Our biggest goose - 13lbs |

Con't. My apologies for photo quality. I am limited to a Galaxy Note 4 right now as my main camera took a swim. I really need to decide on a new one to capture these moments.. I am really happy about how this dog is turning out. He's been hunting since Dec 7 2014 and is 18 months old now. We are nearing 50 retrieves this season, 16 species. He loved flushing the many woodcock that stayed on my property this fall, and is a dove hunting machine. He still hesitates when it comes to waterfowl hunting, but he gains more confidence each hunt. I think he has poor eyesight and can't see the birds on the water when he is at water level. He's getting it though.. His species: Black duck Mallard Brewers duck (mallardxgadwall) Gadwall Green wing teal Blue wing teal Shovelor Pintail Lesser scaup Canvasback Hooded merganser Surf scoter Canada goose Mourning Dove Gray squirrel Fox squirrel As a side note, I've committed myself to using 1 gun while hunting with him. Every animal he has picked up has been taken by a Franchi Affinity, 20 Gauge. We are hoping for some buffleheads, redheads and common mergansers to round out this season. |
