Another beautiful sunrise here in SD. 
We saw a few hundred pheasants yesterday. Even on the opener, a lot were flushing well out of range. They sure ain’t dumb.

We killed 17 for six guys on the opener.

Today was slower than yesterday. 5 guys hunted and we killed 11 roosters. But I killed three and shot well so I ain’t gonna complain. I made one good shot on a rooster in front of the whole group which is always fun. Definitely shot better today than yesterday. The dog also had a couple good finds on dead birds downed in heavy cover so that made me happy as well.

Dog came up lame this morning. I’ve got it narrowed down to his right front pad, and the right side of his right front pad. Went through it pretty good but can’t find a thorn or burr lodged in his pad. He’s gonna stay in the box today and get a rest. We’ve got a lot of hunting left in front of us this trip that I hope he is able to recover for. Disappointing but that’s bird hunting for you.
A day off is much better than a season ending injury. Greta has a good abrasion on her left front wrist. We're taking the week off to heal up before 3 days of grouse camp.
Bio butter & short hikes make her pissy but so does being left behind.
