This isn’t a post about shotguns. This is an update on the Venture North Outfitting bird dog Gauge. Our pup will be turning one this week.

His first year with us was unconventional; we picked him up from Trailrunners in November 2016 and spent time bonding with him and came to realize just how stubborn he was. Then he returned to Trailrunners for intensive obedience and bird dog training from March until August. At home he continued to practice and was able to hunt with a few of our client groups this season. We were so proud of him and it was amazing to see him in the field. We hope that you enjoy looking at the photos from Gauge’s first season. More images can be found on Instagram.
