Bird hunting spots

[Shannon]

I have a 12 month old pointing pup ( weimaraner) that I want to take out bird hunting this year. I live west of Edmonton does anyone have any good suggestions on where I there is a good chance of her finding wild birds normally where we hunt big game there isn't much for grouse or Pheasant. Looking to give her a good experience

does your dog already have experience with birds?
if not it would be worth it to hook up with Ryan McNally and get him to release some birds for you on his land at Callahoo.
He raises pointers and has some nice cover for releasing birds.

take a drive out to drayton valley area find an old gravel oil road and walk the edges with your dog ruffies love that area and they come to the roads to pick up gravel for digestion and usually there favorite foods grow along the edges of the bush and road.

Thanks. I'm pretty close to drayton I'll have to give that a try.

Yep my pup does have bird experience. She will be NAVHDA tested at the end of aug. I've had her on live birds since she was 10 weeks old.
