Man o man. Just when I thought it couldn't get better after bird #2, Sage makes another unbelievable find on #3. She's a blue ribbon hunting dog. I love how the great ones, when praised for their work, just give a look that says, "no big deal, I do this all the time." That's a hunt you'll remember forever. Please give Sage a scratch behind the ear for me.
Oh man. I missed this vid when you posted it. I am so glad you made a vid from that spot. Great finds by Sage. Give her an ear scratch and a "Atta Girl" from me and Izzy! ❤
@@DonaldLee-h3b thanks! We’ve spent a lot of time chasing pheasants together. That’s the true joy of hunting. Having a four legged partner that works with you to put pheasants in the vest. We get beat from time to time, but we know what works. Take care!
Super Star Sage...not many dogs can get the crippled rooster picked up that cosistanly in an entire season.Sage made 3 really tough ones happen in a single hunt. Nice team work;you always put your dog in position to be successful.
I couldn't have been the only one saying, "come on Sage" as she's searching - followed by a corny grin as soon as I hear her dive in on them. Great dog work! (might be a little biased as I also have a lab named Sage)
@jcwoutdoors we've got the snow in ND...I'm not a huge fan of that much snow, just because it blows so hard every time and then all the cattails/cover are blown FULL of snow then and it's a PITA.
Wow. What epic retrieves for Sage! I hunt solo without a dog and I had a very similar situation as the first rooster that you got. I flushed 4 roosters out of the corner of a fence row. I hit the lead bird & he flew another 50-75 yards went straight up in the air peaked high in the sky and then cartwheeled down to the ground. I searched an hour looking for him. Thoroughly crosshatching the grassy area with no luck. I was sooooo bummed. That would’ve been my first wild bird here in Ohio. Or anywhere for that matter. Btw…my GoPro Hero3 Plus is old technology & doesn’t look nearly as good as your videos. Please keep them coming.
@@UplandOhio it’s tough when you don’t have a dog. For such a brightly colored bird, they can blend in with almost anything. Thanks for the kind words and keep after those birds!
That was heartwarming to watch Sage bring those three to hand. Memorable hunt. I'll over look the WI comment since you gave us Tucker Craft. Just mess'n with ya. ;). No doubt that's why I make multiple trips to Iowa and South Dakota. Besides Julie said yesterday I can't buy a place in S.D. :( Thanks for sharing.
@@pheasantsalab7303 haha. I know you understand the awesomeness of wild pheasants. And Tucker Kraft. His family actually ranches not too far from my buddy’s ranch in western SD. Thanks for watching and even if you can’t get a vacation home here, you can always load up the vehicle and bomb on over!
@@dougwilkinson-uq3xr they share a great grandfather and are from the same kennel. I’m optimistic that with the proper amount of experience, Nila will be a solid hunting dog. It will be hard to top Sage, though!
@@hunting24seven365 precisely. I know some folks can’t have a dog for a variety of reasons, but I don’t think I would even bother chasing pheasants without a dog.
incredible ??. I say YES. Did Sagey get spurred on that 1st bird ? a couple of yelps I heard. Hard to tell. And by all means use your girly voice when you are excited !! You are excused. What gauge, brand, of autoloader are you using ?. As per other comments-Merry Christmas-Glad I subscribed months ago. Be Safe.
@@dougbutz429 the yelps were actually from the rooster. I hear them squeak time to time when the dog bites down, but this was exceptionally loud. I shoot a Franchi Affinity, 12 gauge with a Carlson Cremator mid range choke. Thanks for subscribing and watching!
@@ronaldweider9288 a good dog doesn’t get too much of a challenge with pen raised birds. Pheasants have been in SD about as long as my immigrant great grandparents. I figure they’re as American as apple pie by now. 😊

@@mikeborowicz295 so true! Thanks and Merry Christmas!
Great video. Love watching her work! Ya gotta love old bird dogs with no quit!
@@DakotaPheasantHunt thanks and Merry Christmas!
Way to stay searching for a wounded bird! You and Sage made it happen. Thanks for sharing.
@@richc4231 Thanks! I hate losing birds and I know it happens, but a few minutes searching can make all the difference. Thanks for watching!

Your read on where bird 3 went down was a key. Gave Sage the time to do her thing. Your a team..fun to watch

Great retrieve Sage!
Now that's some dog work my friend!!! You are a lucky man! You are going to have a tough time replace ole Sage when that day comes.
@@t.r.hendrick2681 thank you! She is one of a kind!!
I love that dog , she’s awesome ❤
I bet you love your wonder dog!!!
@@cnggack more than everything and everyone, save about 7 people.
Thats awesome!! My favorite part of the hunt is when my girls make a difficult recovery.
@@richardkrause2356 turns that frown upside down! Lol
Yes. As bird hunters, we know the feeling. Would not trade it for anything.
That's awesome dog work. Thanks for sharing. A good dog can find birds before the shot. A great dog can find birds AFTER the shot.
Well said!! Thank you.

Sage does not look her age at all, 3 phenomenal retrieves, that was fun to watch!
@@timwagenmanuplandadventure8270 thanks, Tim! I’m so blessed that she’s held onto her youth.
Sage put on a show, some great finds!
@@timwagenmanuplandadventure8270 it is amazing what these dogs can do.
Sage to the rescue! You are LEGIT
Two of my favorite sounds: A rooster when my dog grabs him and Little Girl Lu when he gets excited!🤣
haha
That’s some phenomenal retrieve.
Nothin like watchin a good dog work - thanks or sharein
@@brianve7jyd943 thanks for watching!
Sage is a machine!
@@allenericson8038 she’s pretty dialed in!

@@ClayHinz Thanks! The waiting is painful, but man it feels great when they come up with the bird. Great name for a hunting dog!
Lucas that was some great dog work by Sage.
Must be darn proud.
@@bradgeffers1080 it was pretty special to have a great hunt with just Sage and to be there to witness her at her best.
I'm with ya on the weather!
@@OnPointAdventuresND I’m glad we got super cold again this week to firm the ice up. Now we just need 6-8” of snow and we’ll be all set!

after this day you shall be known as "Da Cripla" lol great vid
@@fidiusjwhoopie haha. Thanks!
Sage goes straight to the bird dog Hall Of Fame after that hunt.
@@douglee9434 She wasn’t about to let anything get away! I’ll tell you who isn’t going to the Wingshootiny Hall of Fame after that hunt…. 😂
@@jcwoutdoors Well.Maybe the cripple Hall Of Fame !!!! (kidding)
I agree w/ Ty on the favorite sounds.
Hmph
sage is an awesome dog!
I have to agree! Thanks for watching.
Good job with the fighter! Good girl.
she did great job! hunting pheasants in Cattail's challenge for a dog is retrieving.
Very cool
@@southdakotacoyotehunter8553 Thanks for watching!
Great cover!
That’s a hell of a dog right there
@@Jackson_fish_Hunt I agree! Sage is pretty special.
heck yah.... From the looks of Sage I am guessing she has to be about 9. Heck of a good dog.
She'll be 11 this spring. Thanks!!
Is your young dog from the same bloodline as Sage? If so you are in great hands for the next several years
@@dougwilkinson-uq3xr they share a great grandfather and are from the same kennel. I’m optimistic that with the proper amount of experience, Nila will be a solid hunting dog. It will be hard to top Sage, though!
GREAT HUNT SAGE AND LUCAS! WISH I WAS THEIR. SAGE IS THE BEST!
@@Dslats thanks and, as always, I appreciate the kind words!
What an amazing dog!! Could’ve easily been a 1 bird day or less if she was off her game.

Sage is in great condition for age, goes nonstop! 70 pounds give or take...
@@alraiche5529 she is in fantastic condition for an older dog. She is actually at 57 pounds right now. She gets into the low 60s the rest of the year.
Ya the flying strait up is weird have had 2 do it that had a piece of shot against there heart. And 1 at the base of the skull 😮
ผัดเผ็ด ทอดกรอบ จัดไป
You can't put a price tag on dog work like that. Congrats.
@@msuhunterspartan5970 indeed. It’s the main reason why I wear the camera. It is truly amazing what a dog can do. Thanks for watching!
This is some girl you got there, steak dinner for her !!!
She knows how to find pheasants, that's for sure! Thanks for watching.
@ love the content by the way my family loves bird hunting
@ much appreciated. Nothing better than a day in the field with our dogs!
Nice Chinese chickens although are not native are awsome when wild i take my dog on realese hunts she just picks live birds up and brings them to me

Do you pay for hunting in these areas?
@@ВячеславВ-л2б nope, public
land is open to anyone with a valid hunting license.
Time for a car wash 😂
