[417coty]

fuck ya hunting out of a truck thats awesome im gonna do that in like an hour!!! good job i liked and faved

[aardappelpitsap]

Did some quail hunting today. Maybe walked 15 km for 4 quails. But its part of the fun, scouting looking searching. Sending your dogs in to different places. Im not gonna say your a lazy dick like the rest is doing caus your prob not, but i think this way is a lot less fun.

[TheHAYLEI]

aye well done, you murdered a load of little birds without even having to trouble yourself to get off your arse. what a big hard man. eh

[LAMBORGHINI748596]

idk what the hell this is but its not huntin do some reall hunting with world class dogs and no radars and trucks

[dennisbaldwin]

@LAMBORGHINI748596 I've heard many different perspectives of how people hunt and realize that everyone does it differently. These dogs are "world class". Google "wild bird hunting" and the #1 link is Mitch Hurt's website. This is who we always use to guide our hunts. Look up channel "wildbirdhunting" on YouTube and you'll see nearly 50 videos of Mitch's dogs. World class.

[LAMBORGHINI748596]

@dennisbaldwin when i say world class i mean dogs that you have trained your self iv seen dogs that hunt hours with no rest and no other dogs to take their place we usually hunt 2 or 3 dogs for like 2 hours with no rest. and we dont throw our dogs into the truck when were done

[N31373]

@dennisbaldwin Well, Dennis, you have to expect some armchair expert to tell you how much better they could have done and everything you did wrong. With 60 years of bird hunting behind me, I can't find anything wrong myself... except the "RADAR." Which looks more like a radio tracking receiver to find which direction to look for wide ranging dogs in heavy cover. If you ever been there you know how valuable it would be.

Looks like a class act to me and dogs that make the day.

[haroof]

@LAMBORGHINI748596 You're insane. Those are incredible dogs. Would love to take them hunting.

[armystrong9997]

@LAMBORGHINI748596 hey dumbass, the dogs have collars with beacons on them, they use that radar thing to find the dogs. and bull, theres no such thing as a "world class dog" you could pay $50,000 for a dog and it may not do its job correctly. and the reason they use those collars on dogs is because who wants to loose their very expensive dog that they put so much time into. now get your city slicker ass off this great video and actually learn how to hunt. fucking city slickers. great video man!!

[Richyniceace]

@armystrong9997 thanks for the book. lamborghini356356456345..cool name dude

[TheKodiak72]

@LAMBORGHINI748596 nothing wrong with hunting with dogs?? and the truck.. all that means is u can cover more ground quicker. but i do agree the radar is lame. but they are doing some real hunting. you go hunt quail on foot. lol, they are FAST !! esp when they run on the ground, trucks make it easier to chase

[aztec3553]

How can you be using telematary on your Dogs. Man i pray you don't breed with those.

[hunterful123]

put down the freaky tools and grab some ethics people

[Mcbeezus123]

People rid wagons all the time on huge quail hunts. This is how old time people used to do, people ride jeeps to cover lots of ground. if you want to walk 10 or 15 miles + just to be a "real" hunter than fine. There is nothing wrong with the way they are doing this

[Mr1deerslayer]

How the fuck is this hunting?

[dennisbaldwin]

@Mr1deerslayer Dear "Mr Deer Slayer", talk to me. What is hunting?

[Mr1deerslayer]

@dennisbaldwin Hunting is "The pursuit of game". Your technique almost totally eliminates the pursuit, this is why i feel that it is not hunting.

[dennisbaldwin]

@Mr1deerslayer The pursuit still exists regardless of how you get to point A from point B. There's still a lot of "ground time" to flush the coveys and mark them down. Obviously, there's not one way to hunt so I can understand your perspective. Feel free to post a video response of how you do it.

[christianz2010]

@dennisbaldwin well how about u fucking walk, better yet run.

[dennisbaldwin]

@christianz2010 We do plenty of walking. Not so sure about running with a shotgun.

[christianz2010]

@dennisbaldwin then with blow guns and nets if you want to consider yourself an authentic hunter

[dennisbaldwin]

@christianz2010 This video wasn't posted to depict "authentic" hunting. This is a series of clips from our south Texas family hunt that we do once/yr. I'm not looking to be authentic. Just happy to get outside and enjoy time with friends and family.

[gblu25]

You need to do some real hunting. Without a car. Or loads of technology. With the decency to pat your hardworking dog on the head instead of just grabbing him by his neck and throwing him in the cage. Real hunting is when you track your game, and earn it, and eat it. This type of hunting gives hunters a bad name. If it takes you that much technology and that many missed shots to bag a bird, just go get a Purdue roaster. Or get a chicken sandwich at McDonalds & eat it in your truck.

[dennisbaldwin]

@gblu25 The dog handling was done by Mitch Hurt and he's one of the best out there. He treats all his dogs with respect and trains them well. Unfortunately you don't get to see that in this video. Check out his YouTube page youtube.com/user/wildbirdhunti­ng

You talk if there's one right way to hunt. If so, then post a video and enlighten us. Quail hunting for our family is all about spending time together and maybe we get a bird here or there. It's not about "bagging" a ton of birds.

[willdog3]

@gblu25 These dogs are not pets. They live to hunt birds, and that is it. Have you ever tried to have a pointer as a pet? not the best pet. All they care about is chasing birds and other small animals. Besides, during the hunt, you usually dont pet your dog, thats for later on after the night settles down. Imagine a police dog. You ever see them get loved on while on the job? No. It keeps them focussed on the game, and not the affection of the owner.

[dennisbaldwin]

@willdog3 Well said.

[N31373]

@willdog3 Pointer? Yes I have. But my English setter trained her (OK. She trained me too.) and she was a sweetheart, just like the setter. In the house or backyard both of them thought the reason I slowed down or stopped was to pet them. Once in the field, they didn't even know me. I couldn't have petted either of them had my life depended on it. Their focus on finding birds was amazingly intense. Most of the fun of hunting was seeing the dogs in almost intoxicating joy.

[dennisbaldwin]

@N31373 AMEN

[snoopaloop007]

all that work for a small little dove sized bird

[dennisbaldwin]

@snoopaloop007 That's what makes it taste all the better.

[chipman5]

of course the chevy needs a ford to help out. nothing better then a ford

[OneFabFisher]

I am so lucky to have a dog that is an excellent bird dog and instinctively stays w/in range, points, flushes and retrieves. I never taught her how to do this and now that I am getting into bird hunting -- she is perfect for the job! She is a collie x spaniel x whippet. I rescued her from a kill shelter. Excellent guard dog too - and my best buddy!

[dennisbaldwin]

@OneFabFisher No doubt. Very cool to hear and it's amazing how much of this they learn through instincts!

[TheDylanJoyce]

IT'S A BIRD! we must all get ready.......now!

[swhite832]

he lost his dog and thats an electronic tracking device

[zm00008]

im pretty new to the sport, what was that device he was using around 1:minute

[dennisbaldwin]

@zm00008 It's a device that lets the guide know where his dogs are and whether or not they're on point.

[steinbat]

Nothing gets the heart pumping quite like a covey getting up at your feet lol

[dennisbaldwin]

@steinbat You got that right!

[rgeracer]

Get rid of the truck and hunt!

[MrMaxxmo]

When you cover 2000 acres of land you need a little help!!!

[dennisbaldwin]

@MrMaxxmo That's the truth. All these people posting negative comments saying we're "fat" and "lazy" have obviously never tried to cover 3,000 acres.

[N31373]

@dennisbaldwin or 30,000

[MrMaxxmo]

@MrMaxxmo I live in North Carolina and we truck hunt long hedge rows on the coast.They only walk to the store for cigerettes!!!! LOL

[rushnut1958]

I do a lot of duck and pheasant hunting and love it, but quail hunting behind a good Shorthair has NO EQUAL! Our quail numbers have been down for several years.

[dennisbaldwin]

@rushnut1958 Amen. Our quail numbers have been down as well.

[thomoony]

what do you use at 00:40 ?

[dennisbaldwin]

@thomoony It's a radio system to keep track of the dogs. It will even tell you if a dog is on point.

[churst2323]

hay what was that thing he was using at 0:49

[dennisbaldwin]

@churst2323 See my response to @thomoony

[TexasDistortion]

damn, so much technology. i just grab my dog and my 12 guage and go for a walk when i quail hunt.

[ozzypirate77]

what's the point in hunting a quail? honestly, they are a really tiny bird that can't run fast or can't fly, they can't be that good to eat because they are so tiny. Seems like such a pussy thing to hunt. Must be for pussy's that can't hunt anything else succesfully, like deer or those pain in the ass squirrels. Oh, i can't hit anything else, so i'll hunt a tiny bird that can't fly or run past 3 mph. Pussies. Hunt something worth while like a real man...

[dennisbaldwin]

@ozzypirate77 Why the hatin bro? Bad day or something? If you think quail can't fly then you must be thinking of an ostrich. Quail can get off the ground like you wouldn't believe. I'm not sure what you hunt dictates what type of man you are.

[96tele]

I don't who told that guy he was a dog handler. All the dogs do is run in straight line when in sight and run off. That's not good dog handling or dog training. The folks that bought this hunt paid too much, and this is from a dog handler/trainer that guides private hunts on a south Texas ranch. If you care about your dogs, you don't want them getting out of sight in south Texas. Too many other critters that can kill or severly injure a good dog.

[dugd11]

damn fireants have taken care of most the quail

[dennisbaldwin]

True. That and the lack of rain!

[MrSpamisgood]

@dugd11 Yes sir fire ants or hawks or bobcats hate all those sonuvabitches

[amazingdany]

Quails taste sooooo good.

Wild fowl and game = the tastiest, hormone-free meat on this planet.

If I was wealthy, I'm pretty sure I'd replace all the red meat with game meat.

Did I say it tastes great?

[porsche69911T]

if the guide got paid that day it was too much, looks like you chased dogs a lot more than qauil. The little girl hunts dead birds better than the dog.

[guatthehouse]

seems to me like youre looking for the dogs and not birds

could not handle having to chase my dog, no matter how big the place is

[carlos101879]

Hunting from the truck is done by Shooters, not hunters. So much technology kills your hunting instinct, find those birds by yourself!

[SpyderRios]

the thing they are using is to look for the dogs. they still hunt the right way.

[ppaauull71]

nice dogs, hunting with birddogs are great, i to bring my kids on shoter trips.

[dennisbaldwin]

Agreed. It's tough to beat. My daughter loves to watch the dogs work.

[12KingdomHearts12]

Don't accidentally shoot your dog.

[TeBrink4]

oooooooohhhh...nvm then

[TeBrink4]

why did you guys use radors....next thing you know guns are going to automatically shoot the quail...

[dennisbaldwin]

The radars are used in case we lose the dogs, not for tracking quail.

[tengil12]

When the dogs is hard to find at a point, you use radars, you find the dog and also the quail- dont you.

Is it not bether to get the dogs to adapt to the hunters range at foot, rather then the other way. In that way you not have to use all this instruments who not is wery ethic.

[SpecialOpsSniper12]

it would be funny if you drove around and everyone was in the back of the truck shootin the quail

[Cagnificus3]

I have 2 pointers and 2 setters and thy r awesome

[queeny1616]

thisvid is cool and all but you guys cheated by using that radar thing just walk and look for them thats what we do

[reyeskid]

thats to keep track of the dogs not to look for birds

[texasflats]

Looks like fun!

[adamjblake48]

awesome to watch pointers work....i hunt behind one every year and she is so damn awesome

[Htown46]

Isn't hunting from a moving vehicle considered poaching here in Texas??

[dennisbaldwin]

Yes, that's very true. We NEVER hunt from the vehicle. We use it as a means for transportation around the huge 3,500 acre ranch.

[mgd774]

In Ohio, we generally walk when hunting a bit more.

[MrDumbass]

you need to get out of the truck, and train your dog to stay in range, because, if you have to use a tracker to find them then somthings wrong with your hunting, also, get the fuck out of the truck grow some legs, when i hunt we walk several miles a day, sometimes through 2 feet of snow

[dennisbaldwin]

@MrDumbass Uphill both ways?

[Leyenda1]

@dennisbaldwin

With snow on the ground no less!

[craigd900]

i love the dogs and i got 3 browny ones

[brandt08]

lucky.. I'm stuck running my ass of like a marathon runner after fucking blues.. but hey when you take out ten guys and kill 700 birds in a weekend your not so pissed

[moaninformoanin]

wow... looks fun!!

[porsche69911T]

lazy man hunting, off of a truck

[dennisbaldwin]

@porsche69911T Yo! We're not hunting off a truck...that's illegal. The truck is a means of transportation to get from point A (camp house) to point B (dog on point).

[iwishthisweremyidea]

You are awesome for taking that little girl hunting!

[samuraimasta]

i personional love hunting and my gun dog is definalty well trained and nice shots btw - sam

[mustikkatie]

Very interesting see how you hunt with your pointers!

[pacificpointer]

I gave you 5 stars because I like Pointers. Hope to see some more

[dennisbaldwin]

Thanks. I saw you have a lot of pointer footage and I'll be sure to check it out!
