[amram24]

[skittification]

[fullstrutn]

did you train him yourself ,they can't be beat can they??it's especially a treat when youv'e raised them from a pup!!

[TheLemming1337]

hey, did the duck just move at 2:12

[jumpthenoob]

@TheLemming1337 yeah. often times their reflexes are still going when they just died.

[TheLemming1337]

@jumpthenoob oh, cool, but creepy.

[HeidiSurette24]

@TheLemming1337

He's prob just still alive but will die soon

Great video, always good to see progress being made with the retriever. A good vest would help that dog a lot. It keeps the dog higher out of the water so they can see better and they don't get as tired because they don't have to keep pushing up to stay above the surface.

Good old Ricey Lakey !!!!!!

[DerMarodeur]

chessies and labs are never tired at the hunt, they awake more and more ;)

[bigd354]

Good dog, bet he was tired at the end of the hunt.

YOURE SO CRUEL WHY WOULD YOU hunt such delicious... meaty....tender DUCKS. man id love having that dog i'd be having duck every day

[Ben0dom]

You know that dog is happy as hell.

Can anyone help me?

My dog is a female 1 year old and this is her fist year. She does great sitting in the blind but needs work on marking. Plenty of time to work on that I figure.

There has been 3 times while jump shooting she has caught a duck trying to hide in the tweeds. These birds are not wounded. I was just wondering if this should be encouraged and if not, is there a way to stop it?

Hunting on a lake like that is dumb. Them ducks must be dumb to land in that choppy water.

[FPYCRUGBY]

he just got like three ducks who cares

[lastrebel415]

lol you dont know much about ducks then. sea ducks live on open water like that. i hate puddle ducks cuz its easy. sea duckin is hard

[mojosmadness2]

which 1 is better to hunt with a golden retriever i have 1 of them or a Labrador retriever

[goose330]

@mojosmadness2 which everone is trained better

[cheeriocheerios]

Labradors mature faster and generally more responsive but if you put the effort and time a Golden should be just as good :)

[HeidiSurette24]

@mojosmadness2

For me I would go with a golden retriever but it really don't matter and the best duck dogs are " Little River Duck Dogs " the best duck dogs ever i got a Golden retriever little river mix

[Blizzard23434]

It takes alot of practice with your dog to do this . . . I would start by setting up your decoys in a field area and getting a rubber mallerd tie a rope around its neck and start training her/him lab

[bm5447]

awesome! You should be very proud of that dog!

[chatman13]

great dog work. you cant beat it!!

[diamondboi89]

dude how do u train your dog to do that???? some one write back

[wemorg81]

Thats the hardest & most rewarding part of duck hunting. great dog and video

[seaberg92]

Dogs are a huge help when you knock birds down really far away. but they are a pain in the ass when they bring back the duck and a dozen or so decoys. ours has brought back about 18 decoys on ganglines.

[bm5447]

Its all in the training. I train my dog in the backyard with decoys all over the yard and throw a dummy to teach her to avoid decoys, it works really well if your dog has this problem.

[supermugz]

Sounds like poor planning to me.
