Who's headed out after the Red Devils and orange heads (Huns)

[merkelman]

NACHES sportsman up for a beer!

[10Key]

We are, will be out and about early in the morning.

[Dhoey07]

I gotta work tomorrow, but sunday I'm heading somewhere.  Trying to decide on grouse or quail/huns 

[merkelman]

That means verticals. Lol

[merkelman]

I'm on n Wenas heading to town to eat...now I am super hungry.

[merkelman]

Put up 5 small coveys tiday. How many in the bag?. Let's just say the birds would not hold for the dogs.

[chukarguy]

Brids didn't hold to well for me today.  Seems to be more birds than last year though!

[10Key]

Same for us, saw a few and the ones we did were running then flushing or just flushing way wild.

[merkelman]

Agreed on the more birds comment. 6 hours of hill humping and the gsp's are shot. Gonna lighten the load a bit tomorrow. On a cool note, we pushed up a few bull elk. Nice 5x6!  NACHES where were you! 

[merkelman]

.50 cal muzzle loader I trust!  Barret would be overkill for a deer!  LOL

[merkelman]

Tough opener. Plenty of birds, but they would not hold...

That's a great looking shotgun! You did better than me, my buddy got a quail and I got nothing... other than the rattler my dog was a little too interested in

Busted several coveys of Huns while muzzloader deer hunting last week . Hoping to get back over there soon!!!

[JayBird02]

Took the dogs out on Sunday and Monday. Dogs pointed 2 different coveys, but I've never seen birds flush so far out. Might need to switch to full chokes.

The Wife and I had some fun with a couple of nice coveys on Sunday. Walter, the English Springer Spaniel made a memorable find on a downed Hun in the sagebrush. Too hot for any extended hunting past mid-morning. We'll wait for a cool down for the next hunt.

we had one covey break at nearly 100 yards and i was above them. Not like they could smell us. Juvenile birds!  Good sign!

[jackson7]

Nice to see some got out. Thanks for the reports and great pics. How is the snake situation? Thanks, jackson

[JayBird02]

Been warm here so I'm limiting my hunts to early morning. Haven't seen any snakes but it's warm enough for them to be out.

[merkelman]

We saw a small northern pacific in a coley, about 16".  We let him live.  Agree with Der NACHESMan, we will hit it again next week! 

[fethrduster]

My setter pointed at least five different coveys Saturday, two of which held about 30 birds, but they were flushing really wild.  Seems odd considering they haven't been hunted yet.   I only bothered shooting a couple times, and the closest shot I had was about 40 yds.  Very tough hunting.  Glad to hear it wasn't just me.  Heartened by the number of birds though.  Bodes well for the rest of the season.

I met your wife, Walter and you earlier this year walking out of mica.  I was bow hunting for deer.  Might have been the opener

[boneaddict]

Let me know when you are coming through.  I have a schedule from hell but you never know.  I may also be on the road.  It is about that time to chase monster muleys
