Born this morning by C section in sunny Southern California. 2 boys and 2 girls. One of them is coming home with me on or about Valentine's Day. Gotta road trip in the works.

Now, I really do have to pick a name. Suggestions welcome. 2024 is gonna be a big year.

Congratulations on the addition @BrentD

If your pup is wearing the green, I see the name "Wally" clearly depicted in the camo

Ah, no. Pretty much can guarantee they one. Tonight, I'm thinking Sydney.

@BrentD Congrats Brent! How about one of them being named "Cici, or Cece, or Ceci" You know, because they were delivered via (C- section) for one of the females? Just spit balling over here.

Fun times with the new puppy ( 1yr old). Birds didn't hold very well - public land and no snow- but we walked enough to get some birds.

They sure are the color of Taffy! Had a very light colored female I named Taffy, almost 40 years ago now. She was a great dog.

Recent Arizona quail hunt.

I've never eaten that type of quail- I'm guessing they eat really well? Only eaten bobwhites in the past and they were great.

Did you find any quail, or is your dog just programmed to find partridge?

This one broke a bit of a pheasant slump for us.

Taste like chicken.

Taste like chicken.

Just realized they are Huns I saw the feather stuck to the head of the one towards the center and thought they were a gambles quail or something like that. Didn't look close enough. Never have eaten a partridge either. Shot at a couple and have never connected. Congrats!

Public land roosters in SE IA are hard to come by, and today was no exception.

Hiked a ton, got the truck stuck and then unstuck, and had an all-around good time though.

Final weekend success- Winnie's first wild Rooster (she got a scraggly FWP released rooster earlier this season). She did her part, flushing several more in easy range, but I didn't uphold my end of the deal. Called it a day after rocking 2 other roosters pretty hard that flew a good ways into private after being wounded.
Very happy with how she's been hunting in her first season and looking forward to many more days afield!
