Slow on the Yak Rez a week ago. Only two ringers for me in three days. I sure like my new Benelli Ultra Light though. Sweet, sweet gun!

I think the rain and lots of standing corn in the basin kept the roosters in the deep cover... Only got 1 rooster and 2 ducks for 2 days of hard working... That and i thinkmy 11moth old chessie needs a little more experience.
did have some hens kick up for us but that don't help...

In archery we have something like the way of the superior man. When the archer misses the center of the target, he turns round and seeks for the cause of his failure in himself.

Did well on phesants 2 birds in 4 hours then switched to ducks and did not see a single one flying. Trying out new areas- was great but fell asleep in the duck blind under clear blue skies.
finished with three quail on the way to the truck. My 8 year old shorthair cut his ear on barbed wire 5 minutes before hunting hours 50 feet from the truck. Worked the 2 year old shorthair alone and he did great. He pinned down some tight tight points. Love the new Federal Prairie Storm shells.

Ended up getting 8 roosters overall..
This was the trip I took down to Mountain home,Idaho.It would have helped abunch had they cut the corn and other crops..The rain we got did help on Saturday.The birds held a lot tighter.

Oh man! Poor dogs. Dang it you'd think at least the older dog would know to stay away from those porcupines! Was this the first time for this to happen to him?

Poor GSP looks miserable. The lab doesn't look like he's bothered too much by it though.
