After 2+ years of hunting in this area, we finally made it to the spot that was recommended by some other hunters the first day we arrived the first year. We had a good hunt from 4:30pm to 6:30pm on an island in Lake Sakakawea. The hunt obviously requires a boat, and therefore more prep and teardown time to pull it off (therefore a little less time actually hunting) but it was nice to have the whole place to ourselves and know we were hunting birds that are have not been pressured.
Tonight we hunted Winnie and Maggie together for the duration. In total, they found and put up three hens and two roosters within shooting range and no birds out of range. Of the roosters, Winnie pointed the one that Dan shot and Maggie found (and pointed) the second one that I shot. Each dog successfully retrieved 'their' bird without incident. Everybody goes home happy! Additionally, Winnie pointed, trailed, and repointed all three hens.
Tomorrow we are hunting ducks on federal property adjacent to the Goven farm and Lake Brekken.
Nice!! Sounds like a fun afternoon :-)
ReplyDeleteI can't wait until you all fly me out there to take pictures. I know hunting and taking pictures is a little much but I would love to see more pictures!!!!
ReplyDeleteSo glad you finally got to hunt there. I do agree with Lori...I do love the pictures...I think she may need a few new lenses for that trip though! The dogs look great!
