Hydee Starts Search Dog Testing

A little over a month after surgery to remove her spleen, Hydee has bounced back to start our testing journey. The first test, Open Field, evaluates the basic skills of both handler and dog. Hydee passed her Open Field test today.

Newest Member of the Team

After starting to hunt several years ago, the addition of a versatile hunting dog to the team was only natural. The search for the best breed choice resulted in the Deutsch Drahthaar. Here is the newest and youngest member of the team: Savvy (aka Janka Vom Jaegergeist)


The Drahthaar is a passionate hunting dog with industry and endurance, calm by nature, friendly in relations.

End of the Whitetail Season

Kit bagged this Iowa buck, shot it out of self-defense as this one practically ran him over.

This season's population was way down from years past. The last two pheasants in the county managed to cross our path.
The 2008-2009 whitetail season has come to an end. We were successful in Iowa this year. Bad weather put an early stop to PA flintlock, couldn't make the trip up to the cabin. Looking forward to 2009-2010.
