Gastro Gnome - Eat Better Wherever

Finn from the Cascades, Season 1

an entire day can be made with a single moment like that. Congrats on that little slice of perfection.
 
Greta is looking at me and shaking her head. The shame she's heaping on me for not getting out as much as you guys is epic.

Keep on it!
 
We celebrated the solstice with a chukar hunt. I was going to go Wednesday, but ended up sick and in bed for 24 hours. I probably rushed things, as I hit the wall badly about halfway through the hunt.

Glad you are feeling better. How have the bird numbers been this year in your part of the country? I am hoping to make it out at least once in the next couple of weeks.
 
Bird numbers are good. I found a pretty even mix today, and most all coveys were decent sized or better.
 
LOL, his fun meter (and mine for that matter) was pretty well pegged. He was able to wake up for his dog treat at Dutch Brothers.
 
The CFO did a site audit today, evaluating the merits of the dog she bought, and training put into said dog. She also photographed. The birds were like January roosters, flying back and forth across canyons with impunity. Lots of flushes at or beyond gun range. Fortunately, Finn and I are both retained for another year.

First birds of 2019

Went to a new spot today. Cold and windy in the morning. Birds are very wild. Picture trying to jump shoot mallards when they can see you coming. We fooled some, others not. Great retrieves today.

Looks like a fun day. I will be heading out tomorrow for some fun with "Old Rudy". Checking out a new location as well.
