One fawn/pheasant killer down! Nice work.

This was from several weeks ago, but it was a nice solid point from my 1 year old GSP. He pointed 3 roosters and 5 hens on this day. I shot 2 of the 3 roosters.

Finally ended my slump today.  Bought a new shotgun and shot the first 2 pheasants I saw then missed the next 10 in a row.  Number 11 went down.

I'l bet I saw 25 roosters last friday and saturday driving around looking for a roost that someone could bust, leaves me scratching my head, wondering what I am doing.. I believe in the future for me it will be a week in Canada for waterfowl, where i don't have to worry about the roost busters and a couple of long weekends chasing longtails in NoDak.  Muck better for the dogs and for my sanity..

Certainly slower, but she uses are her experiences well.  Has had a darn good season with plenty of time to go.

MN. Parts should be in next week to replace the scratched lens on my tablet. Sodak tailgate shots should be clear.

Nice bryce. ..

I didn't get many pics from the long weekend but here are a couple:

I shot this bird and thought for sure I hit it, but it just kept on flying, and I kept on watching it. It flew and flew, and then started to fly straight up, super high and then it dropped to the ground (heard people refer to that as a heart shot?). Safely got my dogs across the highway and sent the younger one out on a retrieve. who says pointers cant be retrievers? Love me some versatile dogs

Went to South Dakota for 3 and ½days,  tons of hunters out when I was there.  Got 7 birds.got one today

[ZapMan]

Got these in sw mn.

I have had the same exact thing happen on a couple occasions over the years. Heart shot is what I always thought too. Takes a while to pump the blood out I guess. Its one of those frustrating sights when  you know you hit it, but it keeps going. Only for a happy ending!

Sunsets in sodak have their own unique hue.

I've always heard the same, who knows maybe it's just adrenaline.?  The one thing I do know is that every single time they do that fly straight up in the air move.  Must be some aviation move trying to stay air born.   Never seen any other game bird pull that move.

Wind starting to crank up.

Morning walk with the party. Picked up another tailgate full enroute home.

[Bryce]

Finally coaxed the girls out of their kennels.

Great job bryce,  dogs are looking a little tired, unless their miffed they have to sit next to each other. I see your pickup leaks some dust too, I started putting the dogs in the back seat just so they don't have breathe all that in..

[Bryce]

Hasn't made it to the top of the to do list in 3 seasons. Needs a pressure washer. More so for the funk over the dirt.

Usually forget to take pictures but I thought of this as my hubting buddy was coming back.
