Yo that bird is just vibing. Dosen't care he's being handled or tossed around.

[@skippylippy547]

Great tip! Thank you.
I had no idea that tucking his head under his wing would sedate him.

I always had a hell of a time dizzing my chukars for training. It was always too much or I just watch them fly away. Either way this is awesome.

While this is one effective way to plant a bird, as with planting birds in this fashion just be aware that the issue becomes that a dog can follow foot scent right up to where the bird was planted. As for using surveyors tape you can use the tape successfully if you do not place the tape directly over where the bird is planted. I would also recommend the use of gloves to help reduce ones scent on the bird. When planting think about how you walk in and then out trying to reduce the ability of the dog to track foot scent right up to the bird.

blaze orange tape looks grey to a dog - also using cloth strips instead of vinyl tape, and put a drop of quail or pheasant scent on the cloth - yeah foot trail is an issue - we often weight and flag the birds so we can get them back and liberate them to take a short flight and run so there's no human scent around

While this method is fine with planting birds, you really want to plant in the spring or else you won't get a good strong pigeon egg tree.

FINALLY! A great video

[@dogstar8871]

blaze orange looks grey to dogs, they do catch them by scent (your scent), just like 'your' scent left all around that spot where the bird is planted - there is one trick: plant it from the upwind side and move on quick, but it's not fool proof - anyway, finding pointing set ups really work only on really liberated birds, flown into a big field where they can't make it to a woods or hedgerow - if it's a steadiness, backing or shoot to retrieve drill, finding, pointing hardly matters - that's not what the drill is about - it's steadiness after the find - quail from a call back pen are best of all

[@matthewweaver9610]

how long do they sleep for?

[@christopherkoch7717]

thanks for this! Does it work with quail?

[@austinwolfgang3479]

Yes

[@gusbuster8068]

Does this work on pheasant?

[@torreyintahoe]

Do you happen to know if a chukar will fit in a pigeon release?

[@toga1022]

Pulling its legs puts them to sleep Waaaaaay better, it pushes the air out of their lungs . . . you check if it worlkks by the legs, if they contract into the body, not enough time

[@alihatem4159]

What if the birds keep sleeping and the catch the bird

[@StandingStoneKennels]

Ali Hatem this shouldn’t happen, but if it does just give the bird a little longer to wake up!
