I still have three of Hildy’s puppies for sale. They are a little over seven weeks and are ready to go to your home. I have the remaining puppies split up and have started some basic training with them. Still priced at $800, but price will increase with further training.

I have one female left, Lazi, the runt. But she is not the runt because of timidity. She a little, cute, bundle of energy. She is the lightest colored female and is going to have a fuzzy face.

The male I call Jimmy has been staying inside with me and Django. He is the most wiry of all the puppies, very quick and athletic. He loves to retrieve the dummy and is starting to be house broken.

Uno is the other male I have available. He is the lightest colored of all the males and has a lone liver spot on his back
and may have just a bit of a beard . Full of energy, bound to be a handful and a good bird dog.

Call text or email me for more puppy info.

Chris Perkowski and Mike McCoole got out of the kitchen Thanksgiving morning and came out to hunt some quail. Chris’s chocolate lab, Roy, got to flush all the coveys around the Cabin Field. Birds were flying like little rockets as Roy found them in the prairie/milo strips and Chris and Mike came back with most.

Mitch Hovenga spent an afternoon of his Thanksgiving vacation in the Cabin Field hunting pheasant. Travis Devall brought out Zip and Sadie to find and point the birds in the prairie strips and edges. They had a nice afternoon and Mitch came back with some pheasant and a quail for Thanksgiving.

Jon Lee came out with his daughter, Reagan to hunt some pheasant. Steve Sanders got the pleasure of guiding them on a pleasant fall afternoon hunt on the South Tinkerfarm Field. Nice day in the field for the pair coming back with most of their pheasant and a quail.

Clif and Ken Lamb came out to hunt some pheasant and quail. They picked a beautiful morning to hunt birds in the South Tinkerfarm Field. Steve Sanders brought out his pointers to help find and point the birds. They had a great hunt, getting all their pheasant, most of their quail and a bonus chukar.

Kevin Diekroeger and I love the challenge of shooting birds in the timber, so we decided to try the first all in the woods quail hunt. The plan was for me to set a large covey of birds (16) in the large food plot in the middle of the thickest part of the Sonnemann timber. Go in, point the covey, knock down a couple and then hunt singles spread out in the woods. The plan did not work, I set out the big covey in a nice batch of grass in the food plot and got all of three steps before they erupted, scattering south into the timber. I went and got Kevin and his wirehair, Ina, (Penny was on the disabled list due to pulled tooth) to find all the singles. Even without a nice rise we had an awesome hunt. We found 15 of the 16, a couple birds two to three times, and came back with 11 quail. Lots of great points and those birds in that woody cover fly great. It is a fun, challenging hunt that required at least a box of shells.

Bud Harold invited Doug Sorter to join him on a quail hunt. Bud brought his old pointer, Nitro, and Doug, his young lab, Cole, for the hunt. We started in the East Bottom Field, going after quail coveys until Nitro reached his limit. Bud’s new pointer, My Girl, came out with Cole to go after a few more coveys. Then my setter, Ava, got into the action to help find the birds and teach My Girl some backing manners. The hunt ended with a nice pheasant double rise and fall.

Kevin Diekroeger came out on a chilly morning to hunt some quail. I set three nice coveys over at the Tinkerfarm Field, around the old pond bed and joined him for the rises. All the coveys were on the move, so we got flushes from the timbered fencerows, just the way Kevin likes it. I had to let him finish up the singles and they all had a enjoyable morning in the field.

Bill Warix and Alan Feezel each brought out their German shorthaired pointers, Whip and Harley to hunt some pheasant. I set out some big birds in the East Bottom Field and along the new milo on the south part of the Clubhouse Field. The dogs found all the birds and Alan and Bill were able to knock down most.
