Poor old Gunner blew out his ACL on his last hunt this year. Surgery 2 days ago and a 4-5 month rehab in his future.
Bummer…

Talked to Mike today and Gunner is doing fine. Going to be a journey. I've hunted behind Gunner since day one. He is one helluva hunting dog.

It is a long recovery but very successful, I had a lab a few years back that had both CCL's done with the TPLO surgery.

MC, how old is Gunner? I know you will take good care of him. I can see many birds pointed by Gunner in the future and even a few of them in your game bag.

Not sure when Mike will see this but I know. Gunner is 5 and he is a Berg Brothers Setter. One helluva bird dog. Could find a Woodcock in a Walmart parking lot.Jim Cloninger wrote: ↑Fri Mar 25, 2022 1:22 pm MC, how old is Gunner? I know you will take good care of him.

Gunner has been to Michigan to the Northern Lower quite a few times. I recall one morning where in about 30 minutes he pointed 11 Woodcock in less then 30 minutes. That was a short morning of hunting for Woodcock. None were however in the Walmart parking lot that day.Jeff S wrote: ↑Fri Mar 25, 2022 5:00 pmGunner needs to visit Michigan.

Sounds like an ideal morning. There is some nice cover in that area.

Gunner is handling it well, unexpectedly.
If I can keep him quiet for a few more weeks he’ll be over the hardest part. But he is on restricted movement for 3 more months. I’ll get him back in shape by October.
I need more of this.

3 more weeks with “the cone”.

Oh no! Not the dreaded cone! The other day I noticed a dog with a huge inflatable collar that served the same purpose. Have fun.
