Renting at an airport location often adds a ton of fees and taxes vs a 5 minute Uber ride to a non-airport location. That's what I did when I went to AZ for a coues hunt - saved like $600 on a week's rental vs the airport location.
Getting a dog's eye view definitely helps to improve photos. I like to try and include the hunter in shots too if possible to show the whole story and the bond. I got a bunch of practice chasing dogs around at a couple of Hunting Retriever Club training days.

Thanks all, glad you enjoyed the story and photos. I've been trying to really nail documenting hunts over the years and it's always a struggle of carrying lenses and tripods and camera bodies while trying to fill a tag at the same time. Only brought my small travel camera with a fixed lens (Fuji...
Haha, we made sure to deep clean everything before we left.
Your host left Kurt a review for the trip you just took.
"The cleaning staff was very pleased with Kurt’s stay at the cabin. The rules were followed, the cabin was left neat and clean. Recommend for other hosts."
We headed back out to a spot where we saw one of the biggest bucks in the unit two days prior. Hopeful that he was still hanging around we started a slow and methodical hike around a couple of hillsides to try and glass likely areas they might be grazing or bedded down. I stowed the camera in...
This buck, young and curious, presented a perfect shot opportunity at less than 100 yards and with one shot he dropped instantly.
Too fast to have been captured on camera I spotted another buck, much larger than the first. Kurt and I both moved into position to try and make a shot. I tried to...
We started seeing pronghorn pretty quickly and marked dozens of waypoints on OnX. The unit had been hit hard by winter kills a few years ago and numbers were down from what we expected, but there were bucks to be found. Many were small to average size and only a handful approaching 'big' in...
11 years ago I met a stranger from the internet at the end of a dirt road outside Kankakee, Illinois to try hunting for the first real time - enter Kurt. We both had shotguns, it was 4AM in the relative middle of nowhere, what could go wrong? I had wandered around in the woods with a .22 looking...
Not all are "puppies" but I've been hanging out with a friend both hunting and training his dogs. Also some pics of other dogs at some Hunting Retriever Club training days as well.
