We took the boys on a preserve Chukar hunt yesterday. Colder and windier than we expected but the light was terrific and everyone had a great time.
Here are some of the pictures from the hunt. Click on a picture to scroll through the gallery.
Nice point.
Something is about to happen!
Like little ducklings.
Lots of nice points.
The future of hunting.
The guide.

Looks like a great day!
It was! Not enough days like this. It is nice to see these terrific young kids excited about the hunt.
That’s awesome, you’re getting some kids out to experience dogs and bird hunting. It should be a prerequisite for every hunting to have to take a kid out at least once per season in order to get a license!
Thanks! These little guys had a lot of fun. The older ones are dying to get into it. I gotta say that their dad’s are going a great job of raising them right.
Love that silo pic
Thanks! The next one where the son is holding up the feather may be one of the best pictures I have ever taken. Not sure why, I will need to get a book on photography to find out! I think the perfect soft light, the out of focus background (bokeh) the pop of the main subject colors all come into play.
I like the fact that others are taking kids out. I try to get mine out when conditions here in the Midwest allow for it. Had my daughter out on three hunts this year and she started a blog about hunting and our pups. Kids need to experience the outdoors if we have any hope at saving some of it!
This is the blog her and I have been working on this season!

Very nice! Another kid headed down the right path.
What an awesome day!
