It was a beautiful sunset, we flushed 10 pheasants in shooting range, and Winnie and Jax hunted very well together.
The downside was that all the birds were hens (shooting hens is not permitted). This gave the dogs some much-needed practice being steady to flush. We did see 2 roosters but they flushed wild, too far out in front of us. After the hunting day ended we secured permission for duck hunting at the "65 Pond" that was made famous in 2012. There were a fair amount of ducks there today, so we'll see how tomorrow goes.
Thanks for your comments, they are fun to read!
WOW!!! What a gorgeous sunset! Sorry the hunting did not yield a nice dinner for you both I have a sneaking suspicion that the brotherly bonding time outweighed the lack of a pheasant on your table :-)
ReplyDeleteThe only thing good about not getting any birds is you didn't have to clean any birds!
ReplyDeleteHappy Duck Hunting! Hopefully you both get your limit today...that would be a great way to celebrate Gunner's birthday...bring him home a bird or two to train with!!! Hope Winnie has fun pheasant hunting today! Love you all...dogs included!!!
