Kill em all and congrats on the good hunting.
Are you seeing a lot of fat in the breast?

Beautiful weather and getting into birds

Those roosters love to run. Dog has learned to run at a fast clip 100 yds ahead making a wide sweep then works herself back to cut off runners. Fun to watch a young dog develop

dog did a great job, figuring out the running rooster

Took me about 5 minutes to locate her pointing a rooster in the tall grass. But she held point! Thinking of picking up a GPS collar end of season

The older birds were found near water in the cattails

The sharptails liked to sit on the round bales just out of shooting range

I found that by parking at least 200 yds from the area I was hunting seemed to minimize the roosters fleeing before I arrived. I kept my dog on the leash until I arrived at hunting area. I walked quietly and did not talk to partner. Kept moving when pushing a hunting area. Seems whenever we stopped birds would get behind us or take off out of range
It nice to still have this type of hunting for wild birds in our country

Damn, are you on public ground or private?
Nice haul by the way.
