too_pointer Posted July 31, 2005 Report Share Posted July 31, 2005 When I started my lab pup, I got some training dummies and some pheasant and partridge scents to inject into them. I wonder if you can get quail It will get your dog accustomed to the scent, I hope this helps too_pointer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tominator Posted August 2, 2005 Report Share Posted August 2, 2005 Re: labs and quail hunting Check your game laws and see if you're allowed to trap quail. If you are, use a trap box and train your dog that way. If not, I know a few guys around here that take a big fishing net and head to the city. These guys head to the over passes at night and net pigeons and set them out in the field for training. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WaCoyote Posted August 3, 2005 Report Share Posted August 3, 2005 Re: labs and quail hunting I've hunted over labs all of my life. They'll get quail. It will take a few years to get good but he'll get it. Some dogs start out right away though. Just get out and start hunting. After you show him some dead birds it's GO TIME!!

preacherman Posted August 11, 2005 Report Share Posted August 11, 2005 Re: labs and quail hunting I have a friend that quail hunted his lab and he always told me that if the Dog would duck hunt, it would quail hunt as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
