Vizsla stalking a coyote decoy

Author: TheBirdySportsman | Filed under: Dogs

I always love to see a dogs nature take over. Rasta the Vizsla creeps up on an unsuspecting coyote decoy. A commentor on Youtube thinks that Rasta is backing the coyote but it doesn’t appear that way to me, what do you think?

Duck Commander crew on Conan O’Brien

Video: Birds wanted!

Author: TheBirdySportsman | Filed under: Video

I’m staring at a map of the states, weeping because it’s JANUARY THIRD and 50 across the entire Great Plains. We got skunked Saturday, but did okay yesterday after a small front moved through, but nothing spectacular is going to be happening in the OK as long as videos like this keep coming out of [...]

Wife’s first hunt!

Author: TheBirdySportsman | Filed under: From the Field

The time finally arrived. I never thought it would, but it did. I’ve been asking my wife Ashley to join me over the past couple years on a duck hunt. I honestly never thought it would actually happen. Ashley is the girl of all girls, I would say that fact is settled with just the [...]
