Cleaning up the links

I don’t keep the links on the “Links” page as up to date as I should. I ran through them and was sad to see that more than a few have been dormant for a couple of years.  Here is the roll call for the dearly departed . . . 

  • Adventures of a GSP Hunting Dog, last post was September 7, 2016
  • Red Legg’ed Devils, last post was Novemeber 11, 2016
  • Sometimes Far Afield, last post was July 4, 2017
  • The Mallard of Discontent, last post was May 16, 2016
  • Uplandish, last post was April 25, 2016
  • Wingshot, last post was January 30, 2016 (too bad, this guy is a great writer!)
  • Find the Beauty, last post was February 7, 2017

There is a sort of pressure to keep it going and I understand that one may just be done with it. I hope all is well with them! 

On the bright side, there are some new players out there. One superb site is this one . . . The Project Upland.  This site has it all! Articles, pod casts, videos and even their own magazine (which I have subscribed to). There is a ton of quality content, so much so I hope they can keep it up. This effort is part of Northwood Collective, an “outdoor creative agency”, so this is much more than some moron randomly posting crap on the internet . . . . you know . . . like the Birdhunter. You should check it out.

I think the links are good now. You should look at them, a lot of good stuff in there!

Huns

Happy Thanksgiving!!

Here are some pics  from our hunt on the rolling prairie a few weeks ago. This is a good year for Hungarian Partridge. Not the covey counts you find on Texas quail but enough to keep our interest and make this a great hunt. I am thankful that we live in proximity to such beautiful, wild country!

The Hungarian Partridge is a fast flying covey bird. They don’t hold as well for a point like quail or pheasant but when they flush it is some fast shooting. Beautiful bird!
