Dogs did great pheasant hunting

Pheasant hunting went very well today, however we don't have anything to show for it. The wind was much lighter today and the birds were holding tight, very similar to how they behave when hunting in Pennsylvania. Winnie registered her first real point on a wild pheasant, but we couldn't shoot it because it was a hen. Winnie hunted very hard for about 3.5 hrs and Gunner went hard for about 2.5 hours. Together, they found 8 Pheasants, all within shooting range, but they were all hens. According to Winnie's GPS tracking collar Winnie has run about 15 miles in the last two days of hunting. Between the 2 of us, we think we have some good video footage of the hunt today, so check back in a couple hours to see that and also get an update on the culinary masterpiece that is going to be our duck dinner tonight!

PS - I got a text from Greg McCummings a little while ago showing Dixie (Gunner's daughter) retrieving a duck that he shot at home in PA. Good job Greg and Dixie!
