Oklahoma Crow Hunting

After all the seasons had closed in Texas there was still one open in Oklahoma.Though not something you really need a dog for, it was some of the most fun Blaze has ever had. Those circling, diving crows had Blaze stomping her front feet and vocally groaning she wanted them so bad. She also made a good decoy. Pictures are from a Crow Hunt in Love Valley Wildlife Management Area. 

The Pintails always seem to know when Hunting Season is over. 

Lots of fun playing on the Red River after the Crow Hunt

River Striper Fishing

Blaze is also a fish dog. Striper fishing on the Red River a few miles below Lake Texoma, Denison Dam, with the Kayak. Blaze rides behind me. May be far fetched, but I am going to say it. When I am crossing a hole on the River that has fish, Blaze knows it. She gets excited and even sticks her snout in the water blowing bubbles. I don't know if she sees them or if she smells them. 

Ok, so I did not take any pictures of the Stripers and Smallmouth Bass, but I did take a picture of this odd fish. A Goldeye Herring. Don't have these in Texas other than in Lake Texoma where they are often called the "Texoma Tarpon" because they fight so well for the size.
