A friend of mine, Keith Calvert, owns Bird Fever Hunting Preserve, http://www.birdfeverhunting.com/ and needed help with the guiding. It was a good opportunity for my dogs to find birds and for me to make a little money. In 11 days I guided 6 times and had 92 birds shot over my dogs. That’s about 2 years of wild bird hunting if all years were like last year. Bird Fever’s birds fly real well and with the heavy cover he has it’s real close to wild bird hunting.
WordPress.com did an end of the year report on my blog and said we were read in 55 different countries with most of the readers in the United States. But Brazil and Canada were close behind. I knew the blog got a lot of hits while I was sleeping but I thought maybe the west coast of the U.S. It could be Brazil along with the western United States. No matter where you live, thank you for reading my blog.
I went into the pictures on my computer to get the images I posted of all 5 dogs. Without them I wouldn’t have anything to write about. And it would be a very boring life. During the hunting season I usually hunt 2 or 3 times a week. Between hunting seasons I train dogs 4 or 5 times a week. I can go in my back yard and get 12 or 14 points a day, training on pigeons.
I hope you had a Merry Christmas and I wish you a Happy and Blessed New Year. Next week I should be able to get back to hunting and I will have something to write about. Again, thank you for reading my blog. Without readers there would be no reason to write.
