Taste like chicken.

Just realized they are Huns I saw the feather stuck to the head of the one towards the center and thought they were a gambles quail or something like that. Didn't look close enough. Never have eaten a partridge either. Shot at a couple and have never connected. Congrats!

Public land roosters in SE IA are hard to come by, and today was no exception.

Hiked a ton, got the truck stuck and then unstuck, and had an all-around good time though.

Managed a delayed report pair on the next to last day here in Michigan today.
Finish the season tomorrow with the 5 year old Llewellin on the right and my 12 year old English Pointer.

Final weekend success- Winnie's first wild Rooster (she got a scraggly FWP released rooster earlier this season). She did her part, flushing several more in easy range, but I didn't uphold my end of the deal. Called it a day after rocking 2 other roosters pretty hard that flew a good ways into private after being wounded.
Very happy with how she's been hunting in her first season and looking forward to many more days afield!

He's not been impressed with Christmas.

Year two for Pecos, he's really doing well on quail.

Finley and I have been slipping in a few last hunts. It's been a good year and hope to get out another day or two on the ducks and trying to get to SD late next week for another crack at the pheasants.



Dang dog loves to roll in the dirt after getting wet but thought this picture was pretty funny. His Mom wasn't quite as impressed!

A mixed bag this morning.

My 11 month old Llewellin figured out last weekend that he was a pointing dog. I put no pressure on his development, just took him and let the grouse do the rest. He bumped 3 then locked up on the next 3 singles. Relief, joy and pride. The only unfortunate thing was that season had been closed 5 days or I'd have likely had at least one of those grouse
Rip (Blue Mt Train Station) is going to be a good one!

Good way to wrap up the season. Managed to break out of my terrible shooting slump right at the end with my first double on the quail.
