Just curious as to when alot of you would take your dog on their first hunt. My lab pointer will be 1 year in about a month. He is very well on his obedience including stadying, staying, sitting and waiting for commands etc. Hes not gun shy and can handle a 12 ga right next to him with no trouble. I was thinking a dove hunt or something early this year to see where hes at. Anyone with some helpful advice of what they've done is appreciated. Thanks.
