Better hunting today. Better shooting too.

Last weekend was tough. If I don't post a good pic on here after this weekend, you better crack a beer in solidarity. Changed plans from pheasants on the plains to grouse in the woods after looking at wind/temps. Still will be cold, windy and snowy in the woods but we'll see what we can turn up...
 
Earl had a great time down at the duck camp for opening week,,, lots of good retrieves (46 for me and blind partner) and some tough ones in the marsh grass,,,

We had a tough weather report --wind and snow and single digit temps. Went to the woods for grouse instead of the original pheasant plan. I think most of the grouse spent the weekend sitting tall in some evergreens watching us walk past them unscathed. Hunting was tough. 2 of us got 2 birds a piece.

The boy is really hitting his stride at 4 years old. His nose does not deceive him, and his focus is razor sharp. The birds shot are only a bonus to watching him work the landscape. We celebrated the 4 year anniversary of him coming home with us with a limit of pheasants and a bonus chicken. He pointed the 3 roosters and maybe 7-8 hens, with the chicken being a wild flush. He chased down one pretty lively rooster I didn't hit well for almost a full minute before finally corralling him. Brought all birds back to hand. He doesn't give a lick about "bag limits" and refused to quit, working and hunting all the way back to the truck, every time. I'm proud of him.
