With Fall coming (and going), I’ve been reminiscing about our hunting days with Mark. We had some incredible days out in Eastern Alberta!

It may be prairie, but it was spectacular out there, especially overlooking the Red Deer River Valley! …
2015 was still “pre-Aengus”, so Katie did all the doggie work by herself!

There were times when Katie would get all “birdy” but with a slight difference to her behaviour … turns out the porcupine has an odor she picks up! Fortunately she stayed clear and didn’t get a snoot full of quills!

Mid-November and still spectacular Fall weather! …
The plant, below left, is I think Wild Licorice. What I KNOW is that it may be pretty in the Fall, but it gets wound and wound in the dogs’ hair and is a b*tch to get out!! Katie cries, well howls, if we try to pull them out of her; but you should see how she yanks on them herself!! She does manage to get alot of them out herself though!

We got Aengus in September, 2016 and he started joining us on our hunting adventures! At the beginning of October, he was about 4 months old!
Katie wasn’t too jealous here!! As the Seasons went on, she did get more protective of the birds we’d shot – she didn’t want Aengus anywhere near them – she’d growl at Aengus when he went anywhere near the box of birds! 😂
