I’m leaving NW CO tomorrow morning and driving to central SD to meet friends for a few days of pheasant hunting. The plan is to then spend a day or two in ND chasing sharptails and then the rest of the week in MN chasing ruffed grouse and woodcock. I’m leaving the old gen 1 tundra at home and taking the little Subaru forester to save on gas.
I still love big game hunting, but I look forward to a week of bird hunting more and more every year. Maybe it’s having my own dog now. Maybe it’s not having to spend so much time in the dark like big game hunting and duck hunting. Maybe it’s all the miles walked in the gorgeous fall weather. Maybe it’s the little out of the way towns you find yourself in chasing birds across the country. Maybe it’s the good whiskey, good friends and good guns. Maybe it’s the unending loneliness, melancholy and simultaneous happiness I feel when I’m in the uplands.
Either way, I’m looking forward to a week of it. I’ll try to post some pics as the week unfolds and update this thread with our successes or failures.
