Welcome to the sight. I have a three year old and a five month old lab. This will be the five month olds first season but the three year old is already a veteran. I really dont think a lab needs to be schooled on how to hunt. They have an amazing instinct that needs only a slight adjusting. Go out and buy some live pigeons and introduce your dog to birds, get him excited about them and you should be good to go.
