Whiskey's First Pheasant

[Joshuadavis9]

Whiskey and I went out today and after about 2 1/2 hours and it pouring on us, we started heading back to the truck.  En route, he started getting excited around a blackberry bush.  I started pulling the gun up when he kicked it out.  Before I had a chance to shoot, Whiskey grabbed it mid flight and broke its neck.   I had to take it out of his mouth and let it get away before I shot it.  Pretty proud of him for being his first time pheasant hunting with me.

Thats Fantastic! Thank you for providing Whiskey with a good home. I hope you guys have a blast together and look forward to more awesome pictures. Way to go!

We went on Fort Lewis at Training Area 15 yesterday.  We went again today and jumped another about 10 minutes into, but our hunt was cut short after some guys got a little trigger happy and shot at bird that was in a direct line of me about 60 yards away.  I was hit by about pieces of lead on my hand that almost broke my skin.   Thought it might be best just to leave after that before I got a little too heated.

Really, HOLY COW. Did anyone say anything to them. I thought FT. Lewis ran a tighter ship then that. Glad you are OK.

Good job, I bet your proud.  I still remeber my dogs first bird like it was yesteray.   Keep whiskey working them birds!

They actually do run a decent ship normally.  Once you register, there is a telephonic sign in/out and a controlled number of hunters per day.  I guess those other guys were just blinded by their own (pheasant) ambitions, but let's face it, I think we've all passed up a bird/deer/duck or other to not take the chance of shooting someone.
