Title: One last time
Post by: ribka on January 17, 2011, 06:30:04 PM: Headed out with the dog for one last bird hunt this year, Very windy, melting ice snow and mud! Dog had a heck of a time finding birds with the 20-30 mph swirling winds.

Still had a good time as at lest the sun was out. Managed 5 quail for an afternoon. Thought about climbing some hills for chukar but was just too muddy and slippery.

Wife joined and we had a nice hike and enjoyed watching the dog work

Nope, had a bunch fly over as I was setting up and a single fly over as I dropped my gun at the truck so I could wade out and retreive the decoys :bash:

A perfect day.
