NACHES sportsman up for a beer!
-
We are, will be out and about early in the morning.
-
I gotta work tomorrow, but sunday I'm heading somewhere. Trying to decide on grouse or quail/huns :tup:
-
That means verticals. Lol
-
I'm on n Wenas heading to town to eat...now I am super hungry.
-
Put up 5 small coveys tiday. How many in the bag?. Let's just say the birds would not hold for the dogs.
-
Brids didn't hold to well for me today. Seems to be more birds than last year though!
-
Same for us, saw a few and the ones we did were running then flushing or just flushing way wild.
-
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!
-
.50 cal muzzle loader I trust! Barret would be overkill for a deer! LOL
-
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 :chuckle:
-
Busted several coveys of Huns while muzzloader deer hunting last week . Hoping to get back over there soon!!!
-
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.

great looking dogs jaybird!

we had one covey break at nearly 100 yards and i was above them. Not like they could smell us. Juvenile birds! Good sign!
-
Nice to see some got out. Thanks for the reports and great pics. How is the snake situation? Thanks, jackson
-
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.
-
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!
-
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.

Would that be Walter the wonder dog??

Pretty gun Merk.

Why yes…Yes it is Walter the infamous Wonder Dog! I can only guess how you would know his compete name and gosh, who you are?

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

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
