I don’t have any more to a story other than this buck was taken this year around Brookings, SD.

Looks to me like it is a partial albino.

And not to mention a pretty nice buck too!

I’ve written before about my Brittany, Tucker, and usually have been talking about how well he does out hunting, and how great a companion he is.

But Friday, he was the most defiant, beligerant, simply bad hunting dog I’ve seen in a long time.

It was the weirdest thing.  He didn’t respond to the collar, whistle, or my commands.  He didn’t really concentrate on the CRP.  He just seemed to be content to run around out there and chase rabbits.

I’m really hoping that this was an isolated incident.  He has done this in much lesser degrees in the past, about once a year, so I’m hoping this might be it this year.

The only thing I can think of is that I’ve deer hunted the last couple of weeks and couldn’t take him out, so this was his way to show how pissed off he was for leaving him home with the women while the guys went out into the great North Dakota outdoors.

Have any of you experienced this sort of defiant behavior in your bird dogs?
