A few in the bag.

After last week-ends slow start I finally had a better day of hunting.
I hit a few spots and picked up 1 bird each over my setters.Also seen alot more birds.It is supposed to hit 70 today and the dogs were already warm so I quit with 2 birds.
The first bird I shot over Cheyenne fell on the other side of the creek.Here she is bringing it back across.
Best of luck in the field.

Good job on the birds Ryan!!! Now that I have two deer this year I am going to have to get serious about the pheasant hunting, my dog Abby gets realy P.Oed at me when I leave the house to go hunting and do not take her along.

Let Alex play hooky the other day so we could try for a few birds. Morning was pretty good. The boy outgunned me two to one. He is getting used to that new Bennelli. Tried another place after lunch and couldn’t hit the broad side of a barn. Tucker gave me a perfect point, I flushed the bird, and then proceed to miss – TWICE! Oh well, the morning was good.

Ryan;

Haven’t put a 3 1/2 in it, YET! 2 3/4 slug had him going WOW! so Dad is going to get the 3 1/2 for him soon. He’s got to know….. Found a few little quirks with the weapon but over all a good gun. He really likes it, now. At first he couldn’t hit anything. He was looking up to see what happened – had to smack him on the head (not really). Once he settled down, took his time, thought about what he was doing, he was deadly once more.

Tucker is working out pretty good. I just have to remember it’s his first real season. Would like to get a nice longer retrieve for him though. That one that ran on Alex, Tucker beat Alex to it (like the boy was going to catch it! LOL) – ended up being about a 10 foot retrieve. He is not crunching them and isn’t giving us too much trouble giving them up. As you could see from the pic, he left the birds alone for that. Couldn’t have done that last year.

went out to day about noon and hunted one place. me and a couple of freinds went out and we ended up with nine and we were done. It was fun to watch my dog finally get on some birds for the first time. It was nice to see the hard work payed off this summer. good luck to all and to all good luck
