Tonight we hunted phez at/around Lake Brekken from 4:30-6:30. Moose hunted from 4:30-5 & then we added Winnie and they ran together until 6:30. Unfortunately, our only bird contact was a hen that Winnie found & pointed about an hour into the hunt.
Pheasant hunting for Moose on this trip is mostly going to be introduction and training, as he’s never seen a pheasant before… for Winnie, it’s using all the skill and knowledge she’s gained over the past 12 years. She’s not moving fast anymore, but I’m comfortable that she more than makes up for that with her experience.
Moose was happy we were next to a lake & took several opportunities to get a drink & get in a quick swim. Otherwise, he ranged-out too far sometimes, but responded well to whistles to shorten up & was getting the hang of quartering across all the guns. Winnie wasn’t at all happy to be left in the truck for the first 30 min, but hunted like a champ once it was her turn.
