Wildfowl hunting with dog5

Forest bird like Pheasant, Black grouse and Hazel Grouse are hunted traditionally by the help of dogs, the Pointing dog and the barking bird dog. The barking bird dog doesn’t scare away the birds unless the handler wants them to, they follow all commands. Often a dog barks to distract the bird and thereby making it easier for the hunter to advance forward until a safe shot can be fired. Pheasant birds may be found roughly from late August until last January, depending on where in the country you live. The black grouse are hunted in a similar way as the Pheasant, the online difference is that it’s harder for many dogs to bark stuck in the trees and also to sit down for a long while.
