Second day haul...

Twenty three pheasants and a chukar from only four hunters. The guide, Tony was in this pic and the camera man was the Colonel himself. Hard to clean the birds when there is no room on the trailer....

Just when we thought "It don't get no better'n this..." It got BETTER!

The New Dogs Have Learned Well

We had an incredible hunt this year. On this day, we got 20 pheasants and 7 chukars. The dog work was outstanding, the weather was cool and clear, unbeatable....until the following day. On the following day, there were only four of us and we managed to get 23 pheasants and a chukar. As the bird population increases, we will improve. It will be tough to beat this...but it will be a blast to try. Make no mistake...the new dogs can hunt. Scooby pointed two roosters and was backed by a very experienced dog. Manny located downed birds (a quail and a rooster) that no one could find. Bubba did his usual 'total game' and Sasha learned that just because all hell breaks loose with a flush...it won't hurt her. Awesome! Totally worth the drive for the pheasants, the food, the friends, and the fun! Can't wait till next year!
