Dan here... It's been 40° and raining all day. We started hunting pheasants at 12:30. We flushed, and I shot a rooster two minutes into the hunt. Two minutes later, Mag flushed a hen and a rooster out of range. We hunted for 2 1/2 hours more in the rain and saw no more pheasants. Winnie flushed and I made three solid hits on something Other Than a Pheasant. I will explain whenever I see any of you in person. Please remember to ask me, as this is an interesting story. This is the picture of some of the cover we hunted today. Specifically, this is where I shot the "Other Than Pheasant". The GPS totals for today's pheasant hunt were: Winnie 10.04 miles covered, Maggie 9.12 miles covered. There were several large expanses we had to cross to get from hunting spot to hunting spot, which is what inflated their miles on today's hunt. However, that means that we walked more today than other days, though the walking was a little easier at times.
It's 3:04 PM and we are now heading back to the hotel to change clothes one more time. We're both very tired, but we figure that we didn't drive 1500 miles to sit on a couch in a hotel. So, instead we will head out for what hope we hope to be an awesome goose hunt.
Thank goodness for great dogs. It sounds like they are the highlight of your trip. I hope you got the goose! Love you!
ReplyDeleteThat's why the call it hunting. I love the "we didn't drive 1500 miles..." attitude! You guys are my heroes.
