smerchly Posted October 5, 2018 Report Share Posted October 5, 2018 May ol' Gunner's retirement be long and happy ! Hunting mallards & teal in the corn fields & ponds can be dog friendly or dogless .... having trouble today keeping those feathered quackers away from my fishing line ! Good luck if you get out gunner ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

duck&wine Posted October 6, 2018 Report Share Posted October 6, 2018 that sucks gunner. You have him on Apoquel or some kind of anti-itch? Allergies sucks bad and it's even worse if you and your buddy can't get out together to hunt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks duck&wine it sucks bad he loves to hunt i might take a day to hunt my spot in the field if i can get them to come to the cut corn field i might take him out a day or two but they seem to just go to the creek and the mud in the creek stinks bad so not sending him in there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duck&wine Posted October 6, 2018 Report Share Posted October 6, 2018 Ugh. They love it more than us. Hopefully, you both can get out. I completely understand WRT allergies as my lab has been battling over the past year but I think he is ready to go now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Surf and Turf Posted October 6, 2018 Report Share Posted October 6, 2018 That's a bummer about your dog gunner. Got out spur of the moment last night for the first time this year. Didn't get out until close 6, only saw a couple geese from a distance and not a single duck. We were in Wainfleet area on the river. Still nice to get out though.

thefrog Posted December 3, 2018 Report Share Posted December 3, 2018 Sorry to hear Gunner retired this year but at least you have a ton of good memories with him out on the water. It has to be equally as tough for him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
