Absolutely beautiful video. That pup earned a meal of all those duck and goose hearts plus a a bunch of treats from the grill for that workday. And the jump at the end…as much excitement as the first retrieve of the day. Thanks Elliot!

@@truebluebluetick Walk out and get them, humans can stand in water up to their waste with current, a dog cannot touch in that deep of water so they will just get pushed down river. If they get to the end of the open water and don’t get up on the ice in time then they’re gonna get sucked under. Humans can stand up and we can grab onto the ice as well

This is Steve. I was lucky to be on yet another awesome river hunt, Thanks Elliot for the invite. My boots were extremely slick on the bottom which caused the waddling on my part, I will remember the ice grippers next time(they are hanging on the snow blower at home). All in all, not bad for an old guy. That was a bunch of weight we were hauling plus we had to drag everything up a 60 foot bank. The young guns (Hunter and Jason) were great/strong. Thanks again for the invite and a great memory.

@scottadreon9484 Жыл бұрын

Elliott, you're a good dude, good hunter, and I enjoy your videos, but wasn't anyone worried about the dog being swept under the ice!? Particularly when she got cold and tired. That current in the second spot was moving. I'm guessing that's why you didn't take Georie.

@FreelanceDuckHunting Жыл бұрын

It is definately one of the reasons I left Georgie at home. The first spot we were hunting, there was no danger at all. There was no end to the open water flow there. The second spot may have been a little more dangerous but was pretty shallow and the current wasn't near as strong as the first spot. Looking back I think at the far "down side" of the second spot there was a little more danger than what we realized at the time of the hunt. Jason and I talked it over before the hunt and I decided to leave G home while he decided to bring Daisy. Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts. It would certainly be a nightmare to lose a dog under the ice.

@timberhole1303 Жыл бұрын

Very dangerous for the dog. Also at 7:45 you were pointing your gun at your partner.

@DuboisWyomingAirportConstructi Жыл бұрын

Nice video, thanks! How strong would you say the current is? I’d be very careful with that fine dog in such a place. A strong enough current a deep enough water and it can pull your dog under the ice as he/she is trying to get atop the ice with a bird in the mouth. Don’t ask me how I know this. Just be very careful with your dog is such a place.

@FreelanceDuckHunting Жыл бұрын

The first set up spot the current was running pretty strong, the second it wasn't running very strong at all.
