No one's started this yet? Huh. Well, I'll get it off the ground. Shot a limit of roosters today, including this beautiful golden-colored long tail. Nothing too crazy, 22 3/4" but it's my biggest yet so I'm pretty pumped

Nice pic. That's pretty good for a tail feather. How long were the spurs?

Cooper with an evening limit of roosters

Great pic! I gotta get a pup. I've lost 4 birds already this season, not to mention who knows how many pheasants I've walked right past!!!

[fishuhalik]

And the spurs weren't real long. Didn't measure em.

[Ryan_V]

can't post pictures from my phone, but have shot lots of birds. longest tail was about 23". spur was about 5/8" Been a good season so far!

My Clyde the Glide with a couple of windy and wild November roosters, Friday before deer opener. It's been a great year so far.

I picked these two up on Sunday on some public land. Great day to be out. Dog did all the work. I had all the fun!

Loving my new A5 this fall...it's putting the hurt on some roosters!

[smalliehunter]

after 2 hard days, persistence finally pays off this morning. Kaya found 3 hens, and that root today. she is beat up and gets 2 days off while i work nights.

Wallygator, if I didn't love my Beretta as much as I do, I'd buy one of those in a heartbeat.

[WallyGator12000]

I've really enjoyed the A5 so far...I've also got a citori that I'm partial to for pheasants, so I didn't think I'd like the A5 as much as I do. It's incredibly light, and paired with some Federal Prairie Storms it's a pretty fun gun to shoot. Maybe your beretta needs some company in the safe haha.

Great day today. a little windy but not too bad, just enough to cover our sound. Birds were holding really good, with several feet flushes. Shot 6, but one hit the ground running. I need a dog...

Awesome day in the field. Yesterday's shift started at 6am & we pulled back into the shop at 11am...today. I was actually feeling pretty good & it was absolutely beautiful outside & I knew that if I slept all day I wouldn't sleep at all tonight, so I figured I'd go try some new fields. After 2 big fields, 2 big sloughs and 3 wind rows these 2 got up. I had also jumped at least 20 hens, so I'm pretty sure all the roosters have been shot in this area. Figured that was enough & I was BEAT so I didn't go for #3

[smalliehunter]

good morning,birds were holding tight. Kaya was a proud girl today!

[TylerS]

You guys are killing me! SE Nodak is depressing. I've been out three times with two good dogs and have ZERO roosters to show for it. Wish I could head west again. Crushed them out there on opener. Ugh. Hate always being on the wrong side of the state.

[fishuhalik]

Tyler, any time you wanna get on a few birds let me know. I have an open spot on my floor for ya & would love to put ya on some spots. There aren't a ton of birds, but there's enough to keep things interesting

Gotta love a scarred up dog held together with camo gauze tape.

Epitome of a good day in the field.

[fishuhalik]

Awesome pics! That top one has my vote for "HSO Pic of the Year"

[smalliehunter]

I would second that. Very cool picture.

[Capt'nMorgan]

cool picture, how long did it take to get that picture taken? did you get the bird?

[reddog]

Didn't take long to get the picture and yes I did get that bird. I try to take pictures whenever I can, just sometimes have to drop the camera or phone to shoot.

[fishuhalik]

Today was quite the adventure. Got off early cuz it's too darn cold to work outside, so I figured it was a perfect time for some hunting. Talked a couple buds into going and we ended up shooting our limit. We couldn't find 2 though. One crip & one went down hard, looked dead, but we searched for almost an hour in some super thick sage and couldn't find it.

What a high of -11 looks like. It was -16 by sundown

Biggest tail yet, 24 1/2. Spurs were about 3/4"
