Anyone else know what I’m talking about?
I try to get out hunting every day after work for an hour or so but with the days getting short, so are our trips. Since time is limited we’re forced to hunt right by my house which doesn’t throw odds in our favor but we do it anyway. I look at it as good filler/exercise between South Dakota and weekend day trips, but Maggie doesn’t care and bust’s her butt just as hard as any other hunt.
Yesterday she was birdy and gave me a perfect 30yard flush, crossing shot, and I missed….
When I called her off the bird she came back with the, “WTF” look on her face
Life goes on and I know I’m not a great shot, but I hate missing when the shots really count – not for me as much as for her. Especially on the short after work trips when we’re lucky to even see a bird.
Anyone else get ‘the look’ for your pup after some terrible shooting?
